Are far-right pagans a thing IRL, or is it literally just varg?

It's tough to code what exactly counts as Far Right once you try to eliminate Christianity, capitalism, and the living memory of traditional morality. Depending what you were trying to do, either left or right could play them as allies or as enemies.

I've definitely met pagans who were racists, so if racist=right wing then yes. But they're also more sexually libertine, so on the sexual revolution they're leftists. They have no interest in corporations, being more in the way of anarchists economically, so that codes left. Etc.

But pagans in general are a rounding error of a group, so you're generally just getting fringe nutcases.

Though this is making me think, what rituals would classical pagans have formed around corporations? Would Walt Disney and Henry Ford and James Pierpont Morgan be deified?
