It would seem that both people with very little agency over their own lives and people with unfettered access to multiple types of agency (money, power, influence) love the idea of a society of "strong-men".
For the first group it's an escapist "utopian" fantasy to them and for the second it's a high-risk high-reward strategy to make their numbers go up.
