news to me though that kaliyuga has been coopted as an alt-right concept? dammit, first they take our swastika, then they take our doomsday story

I meant did they seize on it specifically because of the etymological connection between the word "Aryan" and ancient Indians or do they just keep independently coopting different things from Hindu/Indian culture?

Ah, dunno. Kaliyuga myth is is a fairly late addition to Hindu mythology afaik, so not exactly common PIE heritage (the word ‘Aryan’ otoh connects to Iran too)
