       Next time someone calls themselves a 'futurist', maybe read the futurist manifesto they're alluding to.."We will glorify war—the world’s only hygiene—militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of freedom-bringers, beautiful ideas worth dying for, and scorn for woman.We will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind, will fight moralism, feminism, every opportunistic or utilitarian cowardice."Btw the techno-optimist manifesto quotes and references Marinetti who wrote both the futurist and fascist manifestos

       @yaxu I agree that the Futurists were terrible people (albeit sometimes hilarious). But there are also futurists, people who are thinking about the future, who are not Futurists.

       @jarkman that's all fine, thinking about the future is a good thing to do, but they very often uncritically reference Italian fascists

       @yaxu they are giving techno, optimism, and the future a bad name!
