Kyle says: One framing is based on fantasy - the other on reality.
The success or failure of a political movements depends on the balance of power of proponents and opponents.

This is inseparable from optics.

Successful movements court allies by looking good.

They exploit and exacerbate weaknesses in their opponents.

National Socialists in Weimar Germany were obsessed with avoiding associations with historical losers, to the extent that they created a new and bizarre flag to replace their nation’s banner.

They were obsessed with attacking unpopular groups and soliciting popular groups and individuals.

They offered a compelling value proposition to the entrenched elites in their country, who feared communist revolution.

They were led by decorated war heroes in a country with a strong martial focus.

They did not spring from the ground, they were not the inevitable result of a people’s instincts. That is magical thinking popular both on the far right, and on the left, for different reasons. One wants hope, the other a bogeyman. Neither use logic or reason.

When fortuitous events outside of their control weakened the incumbent powers, national socialists were ready to surge into that vacuum because of the strategic decisions they had made for many years before. It was not force majure, not some inevitable expression of human instinct that led to the result. It was strategy, balance of forces, and fortune.

The dissident right has enacted the precise inverse of this winning formula. It associates with the banner and language used by a disgraced, hated, defeated, and foreign empire. It attacks popular individuals and groups, while defending unpopular individuals and groups.
