The Nazis are out to destroy modern civilization. They're a death cult staring at the end times, and perfectly comfortable with the idea that they will help bring the end times about.
I think that this is one of the main points of divergence between liberal (or merely sane) people, and the Oligarch/Nazi axis. There's a frequent assumption by liberals that in fact Nazis are merely misled, that they've been fooled by the oligarchs.

We are in a bad stretch and it will probably last the rest of our children's lives. A lot of people are going to die. Try not to let it be you, as the death cult of conservatism marches forward to its reward.

If human civilization survives, it'll be because we decentralize power, water, and food. (And arm ourselves, most likely.) These are in many ways merely technical problems. We know how to grow food, we know how to distill water, and we'll get better at both. The hatred for renewables by the oligarchs is mostly driven by the fact that people who are self-sufficient are a threat to them. Certainly, I hope to be.

And the oligarchs, though having not too much malevolent intent regarding you, at the individual level, are perfectly willing to let them murder as long as the oligarchs get what they want out of it.
... the Nazis are going to be among those the oligarchs let die, or kill. So if you live long enough, you got that going for you: getting to watch this alliance fracture into the Nazis getting murdered by the oligarchs, and the oligarchs helplessly explaining that it had to happen this way.

They see a transition coming, where AI and robots can replace the need for any humans who are not actively serving their immediate interests.
The carrying capacity of the planet right now is capable of handling 8 billion people. But in 50 years? Probably not. (I'm not making specific numerical predictions here. But it will be much lower than it is today, very likely.)
The Nazis, the oligarch foot soldiers, aren't merely indifferent to your lives. They want to murder. They want you dead.

And it describes a very small percentage of the right wing in this country. Stupid, deeply stupid, but not evil. #notall as needed.
But it's not the mainstream. The oligarchs have written off the lives of 7/8 or more of the human race. They are perfectly clear that ecological collapse is coming. They merely plan to be the ones left alive, after heat makes the equator and the deserts unlivable, after the ability of the human race to grow enough food for the human race has been knifed.
