The "mythic narrative" of the Nazis — in a nutshell — is this:

(And keep in mind I am not advocating or endorsing this, I am providing this for informative purposes only. Frick Nazis and frick Nazism)

Jewish people are / the Jewish religion is evil

Jewish people are / the Jewish religion is bent on world domination

Jewish people are / the Jewish religion is responsible for the creation of Christianity

Christianity infected Rome

Christianity is a method of the Jewish people / Jewish religion to control Rome (which had taken over or controlled much of the "known world" at its height)

The Jewish people, through Christianity, are responsible for Rome conquering & colonising & Christianising & assimilating the original indigenous Germanic people & their territories — the "Aryans"

Rome and its influences corrupted the greatness of the German people

Judaism and Jewish people existing in Europe is a result of their plot to destroy native European people & corrupt them through multiculturalism, immigration, drugs, sexual corruption, preying on children, & miscegenation (I WONDER WHERE ELSE THESE CONCERNS GET MENTIONED IN TODAY'S POLITICS)

Eject and throw off the cultural and economic control of Rome

Eject and throw off the cultural and economic control of the group secretly controlling Rome

Modern White Identity Extremism sets aside the "Aryan / ethnic German" part and tends to hold out that "the white race" includes the Romans and their descendants and culture.

Because of pragmatic considerations and because they did conquer "the known world".

Henry Kissinger's academic thesis - and his lifelong career thesis - is that in international* politics, "legitimacy" is afforded to policies and actions which the major powers go along with, and "illegitimacy" or "dangerousness" or "revolutionary" is applied to any policy or action which one or more major powers push back against. (It is and was an observation he made during WWII, living under the Nazis, who imposed the Führerprinzip. Nazism being, of course, the most famous and "successful" example of resentment politics)

He made a career out of putting this thesis to work for anyone who paid him to do so. Usually with an associated body count.

• The GOP has increasingly made resentment politics a legitimised part of domestic US politics, and various people & institutions have failed to meaningfully push back on it. This failure legitimises their increasingly violent and accelerationist rhetoric & politics such that there is now a reasonable concern that meaningful pushback options are dwindling. That's bad.

I've often said that violent extremist movements ought not be considered legitimate political movements / ideologies / affiliations, but I also have to note that history shows, under the Kissingerian thesis, that modern humans keep fricking doing it anyway

Yep.

"Life begins at conception", coupled with "it's impossible to implant all these embryos", for Catholic dogma means "millions of murdered unborn".

There's plenty of Protestants that subscribe to the same dogma.

I disagree that

"release from the general anguish of human existence" is not a political goal.

It's a nitpick, really. I suspect she ultimately intends to signify that it is not a proper or a legitimate political goal, but I also know that if these qualifiers are applied to the argument,

Henry Kissinger has entered the chat

And that's a whole can of worms.

I suspect also that ultimately she intends to signal that "release from the general anguish of human existence" is rightly a goal or domain of religion — but again, can of worms.

These are "ought" arguments; I am, in this day, chained to "is".

And MAGA is peddling this release.
