Another thing they have in common is their disregard for the ever worsening conditions for their native working class populations, due to the cronyism and corruption at the top levels funneling everything in favor of the elite billionaire corporate class, and ensuring further entrenchment at the extremes.The unspoken truth that neither neoliberals nor Spencer-gang wants to admit is that Russia is a lot more similar to the United States than most people want to admit. The Russian Federation is a materialistic, multi-national, multi-religious empire with a universalist ideology that looks at its competing powers as unstable, tyrannical forces. Just like the USA, it is obsessed with things like its GDP and the military arms race. Russia is generally culturally conservative and [correctly] sees cultural liberalism as Western imperialism, which is something that a lot of these nationalists like; on the other hand, they also put nationalists in jail under dubious charges. Honestly, China is a much better model from a nationalist/ethnonationalist perspective.
As for Dugin, there are a number of fanatically pro-Jewish and anti-white statements he has supposedly made years before he became a darling for pretentious Western nationalists who pretend to read important books. I haven't verified if they are real quotes, but I was always very suspicious of his influence from the very beginning. I read a few articles and interviews with him, and he did not impress me. I would be surprised if he was not a plant in some capacity.
If you want to see someone who is really addicted to huffing his own farts, follow Keith Woods. Woods makes Spencer look downright modest.
I remember Dugin had also brought together, and helped train, muslim groups formed under his brand of 'traditionalism' over in Russia, specifically to follow whatever machinations he wanted carried out. He's also a satanist/occultist. I'd say he's definitely an agent/plant, if what I've read and seen about him is to be believed (which it should be imho, as I've seen the same roughly similar facts, and theories formed by them, come from at least 3 different sources so far, none of them were bitchy, infighting autrightist sources either.)
Oh, I've seen him, and, yeah, I agree about him.
