he is not intellectual at all, nor does he have the mental fortitude or courage to form convictions of his own
Indeed, your point that he can't verbalize why he would be better off under such a system is well-founded. You would expect even the most naive of online soldiers to be able to answer that question, even if they had to outright make something up. For that matter, Mike hasn't even articulated what he finds wrong with the world the way it is, requiring his cause in the first place. Because his investment in Nazi ideology is so shallow, I wouldn't be surprised to see him abandon it for something else when it's no longer "edgy" enough to satisfy his ego. As you said, he can't actually construct rational arguments in favor of it, so all he has are the aesthetics and the rhetoric, both of which he only appreciates on the most superficial of levels.
