Oh, I think I understand now.
Honestly, I didn't think the average fascist was smart enough to know what post-modernism is. But then again, there is that weird cohort of fascists that likes to co-opt philosophical-sounding jargon to make themselves seem intelligent while they propound insane and inane theories (such as Curtis Yarvin 🤢). So I think I see your point. Those types would certainly complain about post-modernism because it conflicts with their notion that we need to return to a feudalistic social order because "the past is always better" or something.
But then again a lot of fascists do believe in absolute evil (as opposed to relativistic evil); only instead of basing their metric on how much intentional, unnecessary, and unjustifiable harm something causes, they base it on whatever their pastor tells them to hate.
And then there are the ones who say "Yeah, evil exists. It's me, I'm evil." But those are rare. More often I think those are the types who propound quasi-post-modernist perspectives of evil (such as misusing "moral relativism" as an excuse to justify heinous atrocities) in order to obfuscate the moral vacancy and deplorability of their actions and intentions, while simultaneously claiming to be against post-modernism because, like you said, they're self-contradictory and ideologically inconsistent, and post-modernism conflicts with their end goal of establishing neofeudalism...
