i'm not sure i'd call it new age. this people just think modernity made people (men, mostly) weak, so they do preformative shit to show how tough they are.
Ok I work a job where I'm neck deep in new age losers so here's my take: they have it figured out, they have secret knowledge. This knowledge has literally changed their dna. Common people, peasants should get in line and follow them to the glorious new world that would be possible if the true elite were allowed to lead. A lot of old new age shit like Rudolph Steiner, the theosophists, etc were into race science and the like. This stuff literally influenced the Nazis.
Seems like why any other type of religious/spiritual type would get drawn to fascism. Capitalism sucks the meaning out of most things in life, so you go searching for meaning in other ways. One of those ways is religion and spirituality, and another of those ways is a politics that's obsessed not with the mundane (taxes, education, jobs, etc.) but with the grandiose (larger-than-life leaders, a return to a mythical golden age, etc.).
Fascism has always been this way, Mussolini thought pasta was for soyboys and promoted rice as the manly food. Hitler thought meat was for soys and promoted Nazi beans.... soya beans
I seriously don't get why a bunch of new agey weirdos get drawn into fascism. Someone want to give me a rundown?

Weird ideas about bodily purity + weird ideas about racial purity.

"they don't want you to know the truth" becomes "(((they))) don't want you to know the truth"
