Man, Disco Elysium had the right idea when it labeled the old guard monarchist fascism "fascism" and the new guard popular fascism "nihilism", the modern right aren't propelled by any real ideology or belief, just a pure distaste for caring or society at large. Milei didn't win because of his ideology, or his rhetoric, or his books, he won out of the people's lack of hope that anything was even worth trying, their steadfast belief that if everything was gonna suck you might as well be funny about it.

Yeah, of course, but every new strain of politics is done first in Latin America. Pinochet was the lab rat for neoliberalism, PerĂ³n for socialdemocracy, and now Milei for nihilism. I think a good example of this is J. D. Vance, no one supports that guy out of any real ideological care or because they think it'll help them or make the world any better.
