It’s like the futurist movement in post-WW1 Italy that later got absorbed by fascism, but instead of airplanes they worship Elon Musk.

I’m actually wondering, Did the futurist movement have any inherent tendencies that led it to fascism?

Yes, since its aesthetics and idealism over material reality and conditions, sort of like religious cults.

If what you’re telling me is right, this techbro wet dream of a manifesto feels as ridiculous as Ted Unabomber telling us about the inferiority complex of the Left…
