The co-option classical and ancient Western culture sucks but it's pretty typical of fascism. It's even in the name. I'm interested in fitness, Hellenistic culture and history, Western mythology and philosophy, Jungian psychology, and YouTube think pieces. It's extremely hard to find videos on these topics that aren't actually being produced by crypto fascists.

I can see how that would be a problem.

If I watch any kind of documentary on youtube, it'll inevitably start serving up pseudo-intellectuals and crypto-fascists.

The comment sections are inevitably very culty too. Pretty scary stuff, because that's a very effective way to convince the unaware that the charlatan they're watching is actually a great thinker.

Important to stay (self-)critical and google stuff/people.
