While I think you are 99% correct, there are one or two pieces of satire I have not seen fascists adopt.
“Springtime for Hitler”, the musical number in “History of the World part 1” - both seem to effectively satirize the third Reich in a way that is unpalatable to fascists. I think in both cases, it’s because they are made to look silly.
Normally, satire of fascism tries to keep them dangerous and scary. Your typical fascist wants to be likened to a rabid dog, because a rabid dog demands respect, they want to be feared. They do not want to be the subject of ridicule. They want you to see their intricately choreographed marches and think that it is intimidating, not campy.
Then again maybe I’m completely off base, and Nick Fuentes is actually a huge fan of both.
