It’s time to go Back…to the Future. By which I mean, we’re going back into the past to talk about Futurism. Which seems like it would be cool, but it was started by this terrible guy Martinetti, who also wrote the Italian Fascist manifesto. He was just the worst, but, at least he was the worst in a way that makes a pretty compelling video.
We’ll also check in with the Russian theater, and learn about generally nicer Futurist Vsevolod Meyerhold, who also was vey influential in constructivism. So get ready to fire up the meaning machine and learn!

*cueing horseshoe theory comment
Marinetti was born before his time clearly
Do basically a sociopath decided he would found an art movement, and futurism is what resulted…
Soooo….. futurists were the mgtow/incel/neckbeard/trolls of the past? Gotcha.
Sounds oddly like modern day "conservatives"
Still waiting for Japanese Henshin hero theater of the late 20th century.
In Buffy's season 4 ep "Restless", a curtain is not a curtain, it's a vagina.

hey, guys do you also have a podcast channel?
Hey just watched your video in class , couldn’t understand a word you said. Maybe try slowing down just a little bit, since your videos are viewed in class and we answer questions on it. Thank you
Yaasss!
So am I right to find this channel is against fascism, but for communism/socialism? Cause communists are like an order or two of magnitude worse than nazis…
that guy for nationalism/patriotism and against feminism was smart and right
Can you guys do a crash course video about agrobiology or maybe geology? please.
Crash course should do a series on law!

"Our Futurist theater jeers at Shakespeare but pays attention to the gossip of actors." – Marinetti, 1915
Can’t deny that what futurists did to the literature of their time has me seriously reconsidering all my life choices. Marinetti is my mustachioed homicidal alt ego?? the collective of futurist manifestoes is a must read tho?
Thank you for this episode Mike??
