I haven't read the whole thread yet, but so far the choice line is:

I like how you just dropped the “Vance is interested in right authoritarianism” like it’s a known fact to base your entire point on. Vance is the clearest demonstration of a libertarian the republicans have in high office. It’s an absurd ad hominem that you try to mask in your wall of text.

It's the glitz of Catholicism with fewer of those pesky liberals around.

Also, some Orthodox monasteries had an enslaved workforce until well into the 19th century, which must appeal to neoreactionary scum.

    Another reason right-wing shitheads are becoming tradorthodox instead of tradcath these days is because they think the current Pope is a woke liberal monster.

    That too - a significant section of the tradcath subculture spends most of its time fulminating against "Bergoglio" these days.

    Also, if they happen to be the pro-Russian/anti-Ukraine kind of right-wing shithead, then the political alignment of some Orthodox churches may be amenable.
