"11. In such a perspective *everybody is educated to become a hero*. In every mythology the hero is an exceptional being, but in Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death. It is not by chance that a motto of the Falangists was *Viva la Muerte* (in English it should be translated as “Long Live Death!”). In non-fascist societies, the lay public is told that death is unpleasant but must be faced with dignity; believers are told that it is the painful way to reach a supernatural happiness. By contrast, the Ur-Fascist hero craves heroic death, advertised as the best reward for a heroic life. The Ur-Fascist hero is impatient to die. In his impatience, he more frequently sends other people to death."
### Commentary
The Christian Nationalist faction of American Fascism has discovered an alternative to both of: 1. facing death with dignity, buoyed by the hope of reward in the afterlife, and 2. craving a heroic death. (Going out with a bang.)
That third way is premillenial dispensationism 
, the idea that all the true Christians will ascend bodily into heaven **_before_** the Great Tribulation . That is, the good guys will escape pain and death. Bonus: they'll be able to observe how the bad guys suffer, die, and (unless they get their act together) go to eternal torment.
This is a profoundly unheroic attitude. Also pretty un-Christian (though I suppose it's not for me to say). In this view, the faithful are not called to mimic Jesus' example; rather they are *exempted* from the need to do that: He did it for them.
I've not seen any signs that the alternately-Christian American fascist-curious embrace heroism. Suffering and death are for others, to be inflicted by the Volk. Whether those others suffer nobly or not is irrelevant. They probably won't, because they are vermin .
American fascism is a fundamentally hedonistic cult, following a Leader who has never pretended to be heroic. Rather, he hurts the right people . Or has other people do it for him – he's rather detached from the day-to-day.
