Hi Peregrina, thanks for your response. My history is pretty shite I must admit (like most stuff!), yet I do recall that there was an increased fascination with all things 'folk' in the pre-war Nationalist movements. A whole political ideology was retrospectively constructed from the fantasy science and fairy tales these dudes were seeking out and telling themselves. Some kinda brilliant auto-hypnosis going on there. And so it looks, same is going on now with modern fascists (the 'Hollohoax'???). I read quite an interesting essay that Jung wrote some time back, about the phenomena of evoking primal cultural archetypes in relation to the German psyches inflation of psychological 'Shadow' during WWII. I know Jung is flawed, but it was thought provoking, and it strikes me that a similar phenomena is potentially ever-looming here too. But especially now.

I think what bothers me, is that neo-fascists may be appropriating a looooooong history of English tradition, to their own minimal reptillian amygdala inspired ends. Still gotta admit to loving an insane blast of Nietszcha now and then though. The 'sex and drugs and rock and roll of philosophy', but I do try to keep it to weekends only.
