He has the sensibility of a reactionary no question but he's smart enough/depressed enough to know there's no putting the genie back in the bottle.
He makes it pretty clear in his novels he thinks the FN are imbeciles unfit to address his frustrations.
He certainly does not think the situation today would be any better if there were no non-whites. They're more of an insult to injury for him

Can someone give an impartial observer a rundown on Hoolahoop's mass appeal? I gather that it's more message than sheer writing ability, right? I've only read the beginning of Soumission and didn't necessarily think it was bad but am just not a big fan of first person.

Houllebecq is far too phlegmatic for serious political involvement.

>>10099657
So much wrong in one post.
>Houllebecq is not reactionary

>Sense-of-history "genie back in the bottle" millenarist bullshit (like Islam will never ever dominate Iran again right? China will never ever become nationalist again.)

He does say that the FN are morons though, but that's just a statement of fact.

He has said mulitple times "I am already dead". The way he gets through life is pretending he is already dead. He just does stuff and doesn't care about anything.

No, it's not. The vast majority of these people are dysfunctional and can be removed with ease, the most difficult aspect is taking power away from the crooks and developing the will.
