For a more nuanced discussion of this topic, please see my friend Bjarne Knausgarde’s blog “Notes From Disgraceland.” There, he discusses:

The political subject of late fascism is an updated version of the old one. The industrial worker- citizen, the authorized emblem of post-utopian depoliticized post-war modernity, now appears in the guise of the forgotten men, the non-synchronous people of the political present[10]. He encapsulates the virtues of petro-masculinity: A patriarchal, weapon-carrying and 2 amendment-worshipping male, defined by manufacturing, motoring, his tie to fossil fuel presents a particularly uncomfortable configuration in the light of climate change and urgency for reducing or eliminating dependency on conventional energy sources, which creates an urgency to imagine a new barricaded lebensraum for the heteronormative family protected from the deviant other, which bundles together economic, geopolitical, religious, racial, and genital into a comprehensive crisis of order and allows fascism to emerge as a candidate for its restoration.
