Ultimately the romanticism, while valid, isn’t really relevant to the end goals of Costin, the BAPsphere at large, and all of the people associated with Claremont and the interconnected patronage network. All of it is just smokescreen cover, “aesthetics,” and irony to cloak what is essentially the same trite bullshit sold over and over again for decades. It’s the new, hip, “cool with the kids” way of getting disaffected young Millennial and GenZ white guys to buy into the GOP again. Nothing more. Costin, Martin, and the rest get paid to do this. It should’ve been obvious with their overt Zionshilling and the frankly inorganic Vance memes that arose from the BAPsphere.
