Taking this seriously, this pops straight out of the hyper-idealism of modern chuds. Formerly fascists were right-hegelians when they could muster the effort to read, but now they're naive idealists.
Instead of refuting baudrillard and crushing the "cathedral", like the NRx psudointellecutals tried to proclaim; they've turned Baudrillard on his head, and believe material reality is created by using symbology to form a hyperreality and then physically manifest it by violence. It's like a bastardised version of ritual Magick, the Order of the Golden Cudgel
Well, they're not coherent enough for that but if they were that's what they'd be described as doing .
So of course they're obsessed by symbols they really do believe they manifest reality.
Isn't what you're describing basically the hyperstition/meme magic shit that at least some of them do proclaim as part of their nihilistic irony poisoning?
My favorite part about meme magic is, for all the posturing about postmodernism, meme magic is basically just a form of postmodern chaos magic.
Yeah, that's just the more self aware ones though
