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, and I would never.
but what about afrofuturism then? has this term escaped the Italian fascist load?
