I heard one that goes "the first generation studies war so the next generation can study math so the next generation can study art" Then I guess the art pisses so many people off they go to war.

    Or they fail the entrance exam to art school and restart the cycle.

    Pretty sure that's just that one guy, or is this a trend?

    A significant number of current day fascists... Ben Shapiro, Donald Trump, Steven Crowder...

    They all wanted to be movie stars, script writers, actors, etc.

    This is actually a broad trend, that some failed artists develop a megalomaniacal drive to 'be respected' in some kind of way, and that way is 'being a fascist'.

    Honestly, you can see the same broad authoritarian personality traits in a much larger subset of artists who basically cannot accept criticism... more often then not they just end up as lolcows, or that one insufferably snooty person you know.
