I still have no clue what he thinks he means by "faustian".

It basically means westerners have a supposed innate drive to conquer, innovate, create, blah blah even if it has no end goal or if people get hurt along the way. And that's supposed to be beautifully tragic to fascists because their entire ideology is incoherent. It's been a fascist term for a long time but I think only recently it's been picked up by internet fascist dorks with marble bust profile pics.
