I also don’t understand how pacifism is “objectively pro-fascist”.
Google the phrase. Orwell wrote an essay on the matter.
In the book, he uses Jihad as a stand-in for traditional values everywhere, not just Islamic Jihad.
No, as a matter of fact, he uses it as a word for a new style of increasingly irrational chauvinist movements, not for “traditional values” in any sense that an ordinary conservative would recognize.
Of course, if you’re willing to include Islamism in your term for neoreactionary traditional values… I’m willing to take this as further evidence that neoreaction is a terrible idea.
Islam is certainly not neoreactionary, because neoreactionary refers to the descendants of a certain circumscribed intellectual group that developed from Moldbug in the Bay Area.

So is merely not in theory...never mind about the practice.
