Fascism also seems to have a certain amount of inherent self-loathing attached to it, so that could be a factor too.
Isn't fascism, like, the opposite of self-loathing? Its philosophy is basically "I'm so superior to everyone else that people who aren't like me should all be my slaves or be exterminated."
Fascism is the ideology of the petit-bourgeois, and is heavily motivated by their fear being reduced to the status of a prole, but being unable to identify with them due to their class position.
Makes sense that fascists would frame their incoherent babbling as some sort of self-love life-affirming philosophy. I'd put the emphasis on the I'm and aren't like.
I'm no theory buff, I try, but maybe someone could shine a light onto how fascism's drive for segregation resembles capitalism's drive for privatization. Is this related to the notion of private property? I don't know.

It's defined by a fear of being a loser.

I think this kinda answers my question down below.
