fascists have to whitewash other peoples art because they have none of their own no fucking imagination

"Dune was initially received as a countercultural parable warning against ecological devastation and autocratic rule, but geek fascists see the novel as a blueprint for the future" lareviewofbooks.org/article/race...

Here we see that the alt-right is organized around a fan practice as well as an ideology. They build their fascist utopias by appropriating, remixing, and reinterpreting science fiction and fantasy texts. From Gamergate to the Hugo Awards controversy, geek fascists struggle to make inroads into fan culture. The alt-right fights so hard over these genres because they want to lay claim to imagination’s potential to transcend the here and now. Any speculative text that contains Jews, Muslims, or people of color therefore becomes a threat to their entire political project. This is why recent developments in fields such as Afrofuturism and Black horror are so crucial. They provide a critical alternative to the alt-right’s exterminationist fantasy of an all-white future. Just as importantly, they offer readers other ways of thinking about time that do not fall in line with the fascist dream of a history that unfolds step-by-step along the lines of the Aryan dictator’s master plan.

Why can't they just obsess over Heinlein and leave everyone else alone. I mean, I KNOW why. I KNOW fascism demands conformity which cannot happen if there are OTHERS who do not conform. But still.
