The idea that "Nazis like Wagner" (never really true) let people conjure a fantasy of sophisticated but monstrous high-culture fascists. But no, Curzio Malaparte made that stuff up to save his own neck, and there was that cool clockwork guy in Hellboy, but real fascists are hooting chuds.
That's because the anti-intellectualism of the populists and Far Right is in direct contradiction to the basic foundations of any civilisation

Dal 1942, sull'isola di Capri c'è un parallelepipedo rosso pompeiano arroccato sullo sperone roccioso di Punta Massullo. Inconfondibile, definita "una delle più belle follie del Novecento", Villa Malaparte negli anni ha ospitato Moravia e Picasso ed è stata usata come set per il cinema e per la moda

Sliwa joins the ranks of Malaparte and Mishima in that (total, irreversible) defeat makes them tolerable, and their ability to play themselves as characters makes them charming. I still wouldn't turn my back on him.
It's funny that Curtis Sliwa went from being a fringe lunatic to the most respectable and sane Republican in the country by staying as crazy as he was 15 years ago
Sliwa getting a flu shot: This could be very embarrassing. I’m supposed to be a tough guy, right?
Mamdani: I can hold your hand.
Sliwa: What happens if I faint?
Mamdani: I got you.
Doctor: You’re in great hands, literally.
New Yorkers can find free flu shots and locations at nyc.gov/healthmap
