I can think of examples in my professional (software development) and volunteer (refugee resettlement) efforts where I’ve unintentionally adopted one of these reactionary positions.
Great lens for introspection! Adding this to my conversational preflight checklist.

I wish everyone writing about politics would, before they send anything out for publication, consult Albert O. Hirschman's Rhetoric of Reaction to check whether their argument conforms to one of the 3 core forms of reactionary argument he adumbrates.
Then ask: is this really a stand I want to take?
