Fascist movement tend to attract a lot of unstable, adrenaline addict aggro types. A lot of early Italian fascists came from the Arditi, which was basically early Italian SpecOps and were a bit notorious for being super violent and hopped up on stimulants all the time. I’ve worked with a lot of Vets who say modern SpecOps dudes are largely the same, always high on some shit and itching to kill or fuck anything. A lot of these guys get attracted to the Far Right after service.
Another thing I’ve heard from Vets, their “badassery” is a bit overblown. Apparently, willingness to go on suicide missions the the main factor in determining if someone is a good SpecOps recruit, not actual ability to carry out the mission. Their actual combat skill isn’t that much better than a regular soldier, it’s just they’re willing to do the shock trooper ass shit that actual GIs will hesitate at.

I’d imagine a nihilistic worldview along with creating systems so fucked up and oppressive does a number to psyche so you turn to drugs to cope. Also what’s rich is the nazis like him project the “trad” worldview bullshit meanwhile behind closed doors they’re drug fiends.
It’s more like everybody does drugs. People in the socialist organizing circles in my area often do a bunch of drugs too, sometimes at the party office after hours lmao
I’d imagine this is dependent on where you live. Basically everybody all along the socioeconomic ladder in big cities with a lively social life do drugs
I mean cigs, weed, and alcohol are pretty common where i am too. But ya i don’t have much of a social life. My owm mother actually tried to convince me i should drink when i was 18-21 but once i turned 21 and still refused to she gave up lol.
What is it with fascists and hardcore drugs. The Nazis did it too.

That is honestly scary. People with that mentality with that skillset.
