The problem is that every story has two sides. All the things you've mentioned could be either justified or reframed/recontextualized in such a way that it sounds positive not negative. Not that I'm interested in doing that. Some right wing commentator probably already does that. 

Yes. Everything has an infinite amount of possible perspectives on it.

You asked what they are rebelling against. What I listed is a general overview.

And not every viewpoint has something useful to contribute, which is why we don't need to give Nazis (and their American equivalents) a seat at the table.

Malicious bullshit loves nothing more than to be treated as a legitimate perspective - the harm these viewpoints cause isn’t an unintended byproduct, but a deliberate strategy for achieving ends that honest methods can’t reach.
