This is almost comically on point for Umberto Eco’s 3rd characteristic of fascism: the cult of action for action’s sake.
3. Irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action's sake. Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation. Therefore culture is suspect insofar as it is identified with critical attitudes. Distrust of the intellectual world has always been a symptom of Ur-Fascism, from Goering's alleged statement ("When I hear talk of culture I reach for my gun") to the frequent use of such expressions as "degenerate intellectuals," "eggheads," "effete snobs," "universities are a nest of reds." The official Fascist intellectuals were mainly engaged in attacking modern culture and the liberal intelligentsia for having betrayed traditional values.

Yep, horrible company to deal with. Happy with Zen currently, certified b Corp and all UK staff - worst case you are speaking to someone with a very northern accent as they are based in Blackburn I think.
