Because this is what you get. The right are kinda like... doomed, I think. Or they see a prophecy of the future but they don't realize that their actions were decisive in creating the future they were frightened about in their nightmare in the first place. It's like Novikov self-consistency principle or the 12 Monkeys or something where any projections backwards from the future are part of the history already.

In fact the right-wing of late has been the most homogenized and integrated into capital version of the right wing there has ever been. Trump was basically the end of the right believing there could be an economic order outside of what we have now, not by any conscious admission, but rather a game of pretend where they pretend they created a resurgent industrial America when they did nothing even close to that, so they can now move on from the economic issues forever and just be content to the neoliberalism they have been fully integrated into. Of course this has meant that they've become totally enthralled with cultural battles as a result, and then been consumed by them.

It would've been better for them if they just stayed out of that instead of being spurred on by grifters looking to make a buck. Or maybe it's like debt. The right brought money from the future forward to today and then went bankrupt.

There's more to be said here (since we're talking about the Frankfurt School) about how culture is being more and more integrated to the production level of society -- as in, the base is cannibalizing the superstructure to try and bring about some capacity to maintain profit off of culture. This is by no means new of course, but we now exist in a true "culture industry" where artistry is largely gone in favor of massed corporate production of predictable and repetitive art pieces that can be counted upon to bring in large-scale profits from their production.

This also means that, increasingly, more and more middle-class people in the first world countries are being "forced" into politics, but as a kind of entertainment of spectacle. This is why you get all this right-wing obsession with aesthetic being critiqued in the same way they critique all of the media they dislike, because to them the media and the politics are basically the same thing in their minds.

I'll be back later, but about becoming your enemy... you know who else tried to become their enemy to defeat their enemy? The Soviet Union. They become obsessed with the superpower game and seeking hegemony. Or the arms race. But the U.S. could outspend them so it was a losing game. So why would you mirror your enemy? Their system was the best, they said, and it's a one-stop model that everyone can adopt. We don't have to listen to anybody, or learn from anyone. Marxism became a dogma instead of a living, breathing thing, and sooner or later, they negated Marxism. Well it was the first attempt.
