Bret Easton Ellis may be gay, but he's a controversial figure on the left. Not quite Milo levels, but he has that Milo spirit of disagreeable, anti-establishment flamboyance. He wrote a book called "White" which you can imagine pushed all the wrong buttons, because it was only a little self-hating.
I'd say the body of all his work is ripe for New Right/Dissident Right aesthetics, if you can swallow the hedonism. His early novels ( Less than Zero, Rules of Attraction, Glamourama, American Psycho) are all drug-fueled 1980s extravaganzas of the ultra-rich partying together that can be read as critiques of the excess, but also romanticizing a moment in time of American pop culture. There's a huge nostalgic pull I felt for cocaine-fueled synth-pop orgies, despite not being alive then, and I see some similar aesthetic sensibilities among some other parts of the DR (eg "fashwave" music).
I used to rub it in with church icon stones or something l I l I l I like this in England with wax or something like this I dont remember exactly what it was called I did this with my mother
