Why do right-wingers revere heroes who have lost wars?

George Orwell explained everything back in 1940

I saw this on Twitter:

The image shows Hector. After this moment, he goes out to fight Achilles and he is killed. Hector’s wife is taken captive and his child is murdered.

Why would “Rewire The West” revere this moment when a family is about to be destroyed?

If “Rewire The West” wanted to revere some Greek hero, why not revere Alexander The Great, who won every battle he ever fought?

A weird truth about right-wing psychology is they only revere those who lose wars:

Robert E Lee

Stonewall Jackson

Mussolini

Hitler

Sparta (the city-state)

Hector

George Orwell described the psychology in 1940, when he wrote a review of the book Mein Kampf, writing about Hitler:

The fact is that there is something deeply appealing about him. One feels it again when one sees his photographs... It is a pathetic, dog-like face, the face of a man suffering under intolerable wrongs. In a rather more manly way it reproduces the expression of innumerable pictures of Christ crucified, and there is little doubt that that is how Hitler sees himself. The initial, personal cause of his grievance against the universe can only be guessed at; but at any rate the grievance is here. He is the martyr, the victim, Prometheus chained to the rock, the self-sacrificing hero who fights single-handed against impossible odds. If he were killing a mouse he would know how to make it seem like a dragon. One feels, as with Napoleon, that he is fighting against destiny, that he can’t win, and yet that he somehow deserves to. The attraction of such a pose is of course enormous; half the films that one sees turn upon some such theme.
