a driving force, especially for the weird modern rightwingers, is unable to cope with people finding them uncool. And there’s a coolness factor in Nazi or Dictator or a Threat to Democracy, because to be powerful is to be a large part of being cool to them - I point towards all the alpha male tacticool or hard cowboy farm life LARP many of them pull - but they cannot conceive or ever find anything who would be called “weird” to be cool, because it’s anthithetical to their entire ethos. Weird is outside of structured hierarchies, it doesn’t deny them or fight them for any place in any hierarchy, it simply puts them outside of it.
