If it isn't Zionazi freaks, anti-communist fascists, or dog-whistling Ukranazis it's few and far between you find someone who's into military stuff that isn't throwing up the roman salute.

Big shoutout to local hero @Tervell@hexbear.net for reminding me that not all mil geeks are blood and soil weirdos.

Academic history is not very fascist so there is no need to ever concede any interest in history to any fash adjacent group. I am personally very interested in history in general and military history too and almost everything I read on the matter is written by nuanced understanding regardless of what its political or ideological leanings are which range from neoliberal conservative historians to more materialist or Marxist analysis. A lot of pop history is just very fascistic because pop history is superficial and lacks substance, that's also the main appeal of fascism, just a generalized incoherent aesthetic vibe without anything behind it.
