Because they're both clowns. Dugin recently gave an interview with a Ukrainian reporter, and while he said a few correct things here and there about the Ukraine conflict (extremely obvious things that literally everyone has been saying, except he tries to make it sound like it's some great philosophical insight), he spent most of the time rambling on about traditional values and some other esoteric bullshit, and went on a whole diatribe about how bad rap music is and what a great mark of civilization circle dances are. He's also super obsessed with everything happening in the online MAGA sphere. He's literally an out of touch conservative boomer Facebook grandpa who wants to live in the 19th century. Can't take the guy seriously, and most people in Russia don't. Just like most people don't take patsocs seriously either. So they have that in common.
He's like a slightly more refined version of Jordan Peterson.
Dugin says a lot of "hmm... this could either be a good thing, or a bad thing... I can't tell which" sprinkled in with super obvious stuff to anyone who's paid attention to the topic he's talking about in the last few years.
