MODERATORS
Some academic wrote a piece rebutting this article and they had this choice line written:
I mean, for one thing fascism is inherently syncretic as fuck. That's part of its schtick.
But moreover, is this clown completely oblivious to the fact that this contradictory colonial exoticism and hermetic nationalism is a perfect description for Nazi Germany? They literally had global expeditions to seek out lost Aryans and to find artefacts to establish the "truth" of the Nazi pseudoarchaeolgy through the Ahnenerbe Organisation, which was headed by none other than Himmler himself.
Their whole use of Eurasian symbolism epitomises Nazi Germany's colonial exoticism which was central to their hermetic nationalism ffs.
Imagine being so fucking insulated that you forget that the Nazis were the main bad guy in Indiana Jones because of all their weird archeology stuff.
If fascists had consistent ideology that wasn't self-destructive toward its own claimed goals, it wouldn't be fascism.
