fascism operates on an almost entirely aesthetic level. i used to think it was some kind of coherent doctrine or theory but most of these guys don't even seem to really believe in it outside of a few die-hards. it's like the rest of the right, really, although in a more extreme and self-destructive way.

they don't have much of a corpus and don't even really talk about anything that could resemble theory. it's mostly just about how they're victimized and how they're going to deal with all their enemies, which is this endlessly expanding ocean of threats from here to the horizon.

and even despite their self-regard to aesthetics, the culture they swim in is trash meme culture that is mass produced and possesses no individuality. it is the ideology of the alienated subhuman who doesn't know who they are or can relate to their social being, the end point in which commodity-driven consumer capitalism eats itself.

The right likes the prestige of capital-a Art (as long as it's safely inoffensive) but hates all the work and thinking needed to produce it.

also it always has to venerate their positions and never challenge them intellectually or in any other capacity, which is why they dig on like, loving marble statues and epic meme art of strong daddy leaders, and why John McNoughton is a Thing

Evans' The Third Reich In Power had a whole chapter on Nazi public artwork, and it made the strong point that it was just...lame. Streamlined, idealized human forms without detail, blown up to gargantuan size. Buildings that look like other buildings, but bigger. That's it. That's all it was.

It's a hollow shell of an ideology with nothing to say, except that We Are Big And Powerful.

Curiously it's one of the few failings Hitler ever admitted to. Being an artist himself always being aware of the power of aesthetics, he was frustrated by the failure of Nazism to inspire truly great artwork, outside of a few realms like architecture where he did see what he liked. You can see this no better when he's given a tour of the Große Deutsche Kunstausstellung, which was supposed to highlight the superiority of Aryan art to the degenerate forms on display at concurrent Entarte Kunst exhibition and was not impressed by the showing of the former (and infuriated that the latter drew over three times as many visitors).

Why yes Frederick Spott's Hitler and the Power of Aesthetics is one of my favorite books why do you ask.

The whole wink wink coded racist message in an innocuous thing doesn't really work that well because they keep picking weird dumb things that only racist dorks will do, and/or they constantly make a big WINK WINK CHECK ME OUT signal when doing them so it's not at all hard to figure out who's just having a glass of milk at Denny's and who's making a bold declaration of how much they love white supremacy walking down the street with a tiki torch and a gallon of lukewarm whole milk.

Like it's not that hard to differentiate between a girl making a duckface at spring break making an ok sign with her hand and a dour stone faced Stephen Miller awkwardly trying to make it look like a gang sign in the white house press gaggle room.


I'm sure there were fascists who were saavy enough to make it work before but they're all incredibly dumb as poo poo now and all have terminal online-brain and can't figure out why it's not working.
