I find myself having many of the same criticisms of the Alt-Right that Ernst Junger had of the Nazis.
“He also found Nazi ideology to be intellectually shallow, many of the Nazi movement’s leaders to be talentless and was displeased by the vulgarity, crassly opportunistic and overly theatrical aspects of Nazi public rallies. Always an elitist, Junger considered the Nazis’ pandering the common people to be debased…
He also dismissed their racism and anti-Semitism as ridiculous, stating that according to the Nazis a nationalist is simply someone who ‘eats three Jews for breakfast. He condemned the Nazis for pandering to the liberal middle class and reactionary traditional conservatives ‘with lengthy tirades against the decline in morals, against abortion, strikes, lockouts, and the reduction of police and military forces.'”
