      A significant number of current day fascists… Ben Shapiro, Donald Trump, Steven Crowder…

      They all wanted to be movie stars, script writers, actors, etc.

      This is actually a broad trend, that some failed artists develop a megalomaniacal drive to ‘be respected’ in some kind of way, and that way is ‘being a fascist’.

      Honestly, you can see the same broad authoritarian personality traits in a much larger subset of artists who basically cannot accept criticism… more often then not they just end up as lolcows, or that one insufferably snooty person you know.
