    Something interesting about the idea of fascist ideology being an "answer" for reactionary angst is that it only serves to heighten and weaponise that angst, not present a harmonious world view that alleviates it. Fascists live in a state of perpetual, mortal fear of the total destruction of everything they hold dear via conspiracies like "white genocide" and "cultural Bolshevism," which is always just around the corner. The average person is not bloodthirsty and evil so fascism needs to inculcate into them a fear of their fellow human being. It's fundamentally alienating and unhealthy to live with reactionary beliefs, but this is especially the case for fascism.
