There’s some fashy ISKCON supporters out there, you can find them scattered across the Internet and a few publishers that carry ISKCON books, including Patriotic Dissent. I believe Prabhupada is generally known to have viewed Hinduism as having a pan-Aryan element and believed the flowering of it in the West was the re-awakening of it. He also used this idea alongside many incompatible ideas selectively for recruiting, which is why I’m not ISKCON.

George Burdi was pushing a similar line for many years, I believe he still considers himself aligned with Sanatana Dharma. He’s with the Dharma Nation guy.

I studied with a Hindu guru for a while when I was young but ultimately drifted away because I’m too much of a Social Darwinist. I believe life is basically Battle and the Strong and Active survive. I tried many times to reconcile this with “the surviving Paganism” as I understood but ultimately renunciation creeds are anathema to the spirit that births great deeds.

I knew Prabhupada was very NS sympathetic but I didn't realize he had like minded followers, all of the ISKCONites I meet are hippie types.

I think both the decay of Hinduism and the embrace of renunciation as a doctrine are a consequence of racial decay that had been happening for the last 5000 years in that group. If a less thoroughly rotted species took up the same philosophy through a critical lens to avoid the interpolated negative aspects, maybe it would lose these problems. Some view India as a great incubator of ancient knowledge to reclaim, similar in a way to how Greece saw the Egyptian esoteric knowledge long after their civilization's decay.

Though from a social darwinist perspective you could argue that renunciation seems to have more fitness than life affirming creeds.

Yeah, it’s a lot of hippies. Most of the NS/fashy ISKCON people are essentially random Twitter accounts. Prabhupada Truth is the website I think I encounter most often that attempts to promote both. It’s a mixed bag, some Reptilians level content. I did see a skinhead with 14 and 88 tattooed on his cheeks and a bunch of Hare Krishna tattoos at a temple once but I don’t know the background. Someone told me they knew who that was and he died in an accident a little afterwards.

The kikes silenced him so quickly :'(

Idt ISKCON can ever have broader appeal in that scene without loosening or dropping the vegetarianism requirement. It's not even a practice of older pre-Buddhist Hinduism (if you can even call it that) and the objective benefits of meat are too high to justify vegetarianism the way some older NS people did.
