am i missing something, or, is the message that the woo-woo crystal people who sprung in the 1970s have been 'right-wing' for a century?

Elaborate?

Yeah, I wish he would. The mystic underpinnings of the New Age movement come from a variety of sources and to categorize them entirely as "right wing" is just incorrect. And spending some time with New Age groups in the 80s and 90s, I can say their politics were not conservative

I read that at first glance as “New Wave,” and was “huh??"

Yeah. I mean, I really hate their logo, but that doesn't make them fascists.pic.twitter.com/aO5Sy24rpZ

This reminds me that Kenneth Anger once described himself as “somewhat to the right of the KKK.”

Depends on what you define as 'New Age' - there's a very strong tradition of right-libertarianism (Anton LaVey famously considered Ayn Rand to be preaching a secularized version of his teachings) and proto-fascism in occultism, but I wouldn't call it dominant
-
The commercialized diet version of that is arguably more purely right-wing, simply because, contra LaVey, it's essentially a mysticized version of free-market logic
