The Futurist Manifesto | Cultural Arm of the Italian Fascists
มุมมอง 6721 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Today I go over rather briefly the main 11 points of the Italian #Futurists groups manifesto. This group started before WW1 and had a sphere of influence until the defeat of Mussolini during WW2 who they openly supported. The initial group were not openly #fascist but still had some overlap despite being a mostly cultural group.

What a manifesto, wow. I don’t know what to say for 9 either.
I love these videos! Very insightful as always
Thank you!
Fun. I didn’t get to watch much of the Olympics this year. But I love Gymnastics and Swimming. Also Volleyball can be fun to watch sometimes. -T
@@AnEruditeAdventure I'm not too picky about what sporting event it is! I do like to see America win medals though if possible but I think in many ways I prefer the spectacle of the Winter Olympics.
@@UniqueArtsCostcoPicasso I do love the winter Olympics. The only time I’ve stayed up too late watching sports was the Woman’s Gold Medal hockey game between US and Canada back in 2018. 🤣
Sherlock Holmes are also great books!
She’s cute ❤
Sounds depressing
This guy reads the 9th Elric first
Proud of you
@@LiamsLyceum I knew it wasn't the first Elric although I was not sure where it fell in the chronology but it wasn't bad and I wouldn't mind reading more.
I will not tolerate this Witchy War slander
@@LiamsLyceum it's weird because I actually do really enjoy the story and I feel like it's so close to being perfect but that he just gave too much for what could have been in the background. So, maybe the second trilogy can be better if he stops that, but I don't know that might just be his style. Also, this is just my opinion
@@UniqueArtsCostcoPicassoidk about style, it certainly is for this series but Butler writes in a different style for each series/book which is one of his talents imo
Hi. Thank you for this list. Dostoyevsky is my favorite author too, but I have more reading to do. Next step will be Demons. The Brothers is an all time favorite book. I’m glad I caught your channel early on.
I started Witchy Eye and had a similar reaction to yours I think. At the beginning I was fascinated and excited about the world, but then as it went on I thought, "All this worldbuilding stuff needs to be more in the background. I'm getting a lot of information, but no reason to need or care about it." The author is talented, and I felt like it could have been truly great, if the setting had been put more in service of the story. 2:58 - I wonder how many times in his life Tom Shippey has been called "cool" haha!
Gud splendid as ur book selective is different and versatile mindset best gud
thank you for the ranking!!!
If I am allowed to express my personal and totally heretical opinion: Dostoevsky is one of the most overestimated writers of all time. What can one say about Alyosha's theological discussions with a 13 year old boy? What can one think about the ending of Brothers Karamazov, where Alyosha together with some pre-adolescent children (!) are all together cheerfully happy as they celebrate... what? The coming of the Last Judgement Day!... Seriously? Is this suppose to be good literature? Even a believer reader should have enormous problems with such a bad literary ending and idea as a whole. Is he a writer or catechist? When I read this, I felt like I was being made fun of and that my intelligence was being underestimated. In Dostoevsky we find always the following concept: All "good" guys get to be rewarded and all "bad" guys either commit suicide or go to prison or get crazy. So, how did you find the other unbelievable bad solution Dostoevsky gave to Ivan? Although he was the only one who could save the life of his brother Dmitri in front of the court, one day before that court he got... what?... c r a z y ! Excuse me? But of course, the bad atheist Ivan should be punished for his 'atheism', shouldn't he? And the rotter Dmitri should definitely go to prison in order to become finally a 'useful' man. Is there anything more p r e d i c t a b l e in whole literature? Do we want our literature to be predictable in that silly way? How can a healthy human mind accept these forced and totally kitschy solutions as 'great literature'? And this novel is considered from many, many, many "serious" people that read (do they actually read?) serious literature as "the best novel ever written". H o l y cow! Therefore, all of these points, and of course many others, place Dostoyevsky (at least for me) in the category of a writer of the so-called 'committed literature', who moralizes and preaches and teaches us with his index finger which is the "right" and which is the "wrong" path in life. Absolutely disgusting. After having read Dostoevsky's works again and again I have come to this conclusion: He is the most horrible and kitschy author I've read until now. Not even his language has anything to offer. And although I don't agree with every single critical opinion Nabokov expressed for a number of authors, I totally agree with his opinions on Dostoevsky. There are so many writers out there that are... writers! Dostoevsky, I am sorry to say, is bad author. And please, for all of you reading this comment and thinking that I am crazy: Read Dostoevsky anew. Forget the hype. Don't let yourself repeating "what the world is saying". Shape your own opinion based on arguments.
The point of the story is that an honest nihilist/atheist like Ivan could find no peace in a world full of pain like this one. Ivan represents all of Dostoyevsky's doubts and fears, he is not some "bad guy", whatever Ivan thinks was thought by Dosotyevsky too and is an honest attempt at steelmanning basically the Devil. That's why Ivan is usually the favourite character of most readers. At the end Ivan's future is uncertain and he is presented as a noble character, he goes mad but the woman he loves takes care of him and we do not know if he will wake up, and if he does what his attitude will be. Dostoyevsky does not judge. Also at the end of the Idiot the main character, who is the perfect Christian Prince, ends up exactly like Ivan so you are wrong again. And Dimitri doesn't go to prison, the point is that he is totally innocent and that truth is a complex thing, that "scientific" obvious facts can lead to an innocent man like Dimitri to be convicted. Yet we are told he will be freed and will go to America with his lover. The point of the children is that they represent the future of Russia, the youth. Captured by nihilism and communism, faced with a world full of pain and suffering they are given no alternative. Aliosha is young and lost too hoping for a literal miracle to give sense to his life. Dostoyevsky gives us an answer for how to live, active love the example of Jesus Christ. He does not tell us the rest of Aliosha's life he is free to make his own decisions but we are told the principles by which he will live. Dostoyevsky believes in God, he believes Jesus is the Truth, why would he lie and not tell you what he thinks life is about. The wisdom of men is foolishness compared to the Wisdom of God, Dostoyevsky is an Orthodox Chrisitan, a tradition full of mystics and holy fools that treat human knowledge as inferior to the simple spiritual life. Dostoyevsky would laugh at your pretentious ramblings. The answer is love.
@@jimcrow2802 Amen!
Great Video. Really excited to read some of these!
I used to love this story, and really, still do, but my love for it has diminished a bit after reading the whole tale back in 2021. A good story, and lots of things I liked, but also quite a bit that I’m not a fan of. 😅 I read the Gottfried von Strassburg version. Is there another one that you recommend? I’m always looking for and willing to read more Arthuriana or whatever it might be. -T
That version is similar to the one I read in that they're both based off of the courtly chivalric manuscript of Thomas of Britain. Gottfried wrote his in the middle ages into German but even then the Thomas manuscript was incomplete so he added to it which may or may not be faithful to what was missing. I read the one by Bedier which was done about 1900 and is supposed to be an attempt to reconstruct the Thomas manuscript as well based on all of the previous versions around. I haven't read the one by Gottfried to compare them though! I think that the story is generally enjoyable although there are moments where I'm like man these people are fools but happens.
I don’t think you’re stupid
@@Coco-mp9jg Haha thanks
Didn’t know of this one, might have to give it a looksie
OK, your thoughts on Balzac made me laugh.
Oof. Lots of info in a little time. -T
I want to go through and trace my family back someday. My sister’s done a bit, but there’s still a ton to do. -T
Great stuff. Not sure what happened with you and Liam, but somehow you both ended up being the types of people that I can just sit and listen to for longer than I should. 😂 good stuff. -T
Glad to hear it at least! I have been seeing your Top 100 books of all time videos going live, I was kind of planning on bingeing it later on so you'll have to forgive me for now!
@@UniqueArtsCostcoPicasso ooh! I’ll be sure to keep up with those once you start.
👍🏼
Catching up on old videos that I didn’t know I missed. 😅 -T
and also WHY DOES THE WOLF HOWL AT THE MOON??? is our understanding of transcendental and spiritual really that unique?
the parts of your video where you talk about how similar we are to animals are most interesting to me. i think saying that we are smarter or more capable because of things like language is just ignorant. we truly dont understand animals. but there is probably an argument to be made about art separating us from animals.
Thanks for the comment. I was largely trying to express what I think Newman would say, although I tend to agree with him here. We are similar to other animals because we are animals! Art is what separates us, per Newman, and although it could be argued that Animals can attempt art as well, perhaps as the example you mentioned of howling at the moon, I think Newman would still separate us from them because it's hard to argue that that they do much beyond biological necessity and when they do, it comes after the necessity is met. Newman would argue that it's the opposite for humans, making us different from all other animals. That is: we desire and pursue the creative before we think of mere survival. The urge to create and imitate the divine is innately human and is the driving force for our endeavors. Hence why he would say we would build an altar(art) before we proceed to the hunt(animal needs). Specifically pertaining to language, perhaps I wasn't clear but he was saying that language is essentially an animal capability in that it doesn't separate us from them. The human in language is literature and of course he would argue that we're the only animals that make literature.

This is awesome!
Its neat but since yr quoting scriptures thought of a few thats relevant when talking ancestry - pretty much all of Matthew 23, 1 Kings 8:57, Zechariah 1:4, 1 Peter 1:18,19 - Joshua 25:15, Matthew 1 1-25, 1 Timothy 1-3, Luke 3:23-38. The perspective it brought to me especially was the literal meaning behind the common feeling that everyone is family if we take it back far enough - to the degree they settled and then the next generation moved on clearly shows that was no doubt what mankind was doing throughout history - I often think that the story of the ten lost tribes of Israel to be an allegory for the wanderings ppl take - so theres a dual meaning for the literal tribes who were moved from their ancestral home and forgot where they came from(it may have taken awhile and apparently some returned to Israel after the Babylonian exodus. A rhetorical meaning is the blessing it was to their neighbors when they remained witnesses for God and shared philosophy together which makes a better meal than bread alone - Idk how difficult it mustve been for ppl indoctrinated into insular conditions to overcome their tradition and begin sharing with others such as Greeks, Romans etc. to be fair there seems to be a lot of influence from the surrounding middle east on the children of Israel - indeed without the Greeks and Romans there would be no Christianity as we know it since the land was steeped in Greek culture and philosophy, Egyptian and Babylonian not to mention the older influences from Sumer on Abraham - what a guy, he is the archtypical seeker looking for a fertile place as many of our ancestors must have. My mother was adopted during early WW2 by a freemason couple who couldnt have children - she looked and could only find the name Bianconi - I can imagine genealogy mustve been an expensive pursuit back a few decades ago and at some point can see it taking a bit of cleverness to sus out the line of ancestry. On her own my daughter did a DNA swab and its every bit as interesting as you would think. Its a place to start and for that Im grateful also appreciate what you did here making the start of a United Nations of You. Stay frosty
Guess I better learn German
This is really cool! I’d love to give you my family tree so you could map my ancestors out for me. It really personalizes it and makes you think what their lives might have looked like, what their home and town would have looked like, what their days consisted of. Very well done!
The Bible is a self helped book !
lemme publish stuff with yall bruh i read 11 books last month am i a real enough boy to participate?
Cut off was 12, smh. Nah, of course you can if you want to
I for one, want to see you and Liam publish some stuff. I think that’d be awesome. -T
Oden definitely uses more sympathetic characters that go with Grimnir, though they get less so in some ways as the series goes on though I like Disa.
I’m off track for writing, too. Hopefully things look up ❤. Kon-Tiki sounds interesting and The Return of the King is amazing. Heartbreaking ending. A Gathering of Ravens is heroic fantasy (S&s specifically) which tends to be fast with pacing.
Return of the King might be my favorite part of the book. As great as the journey is, I love endings. And seeing why those journeys were necessary. -T
Great video. Ive read all the fiction and would like to try the Plato and Thoreau you suggested. Everything was well summarized.
Nice of you to review, it does sound good. I really don’t read middle grade and the sort very much. Btw you need an L in Worldmaker in the title
Excellent video.
if one loves a country purely because one was born in it, one could love any country regardless of what it may be like, this makes no sense.
And yet this is the reality for most places and peoples
@@UniqueArtsCostcoPicasso This is not reality for the IMT lnternational Marxist Tendency.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Which is weird, because He put the serpent in the garden in the first place.
@@williamchamberlain2263 Oh wow such a smart response William: Will-I AM meaning: It derives from the Germanic Wilhelm, whose roots wil (“Will, Desire”) and helm (“Helmet , Protection”) combine to mean “Resolute Protector”-a bold meaning that will mark baby out as a defender of the vulnerable. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:17 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Exodus 3:14 So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not. Esther 4:4 No Serpent, No Freewill sherlock.
6:30 Loving your country is not nationalism. That is patriotism. Nationalism is founded on a manufactured, reductive and homogenized idea of a country, and leads to fascism. Patriotism on the other hand is love for the country, embracing it in all aspects: its people, its culture, and diversity... and tends to lead to more progressive and socialist movements
This is not true. This is a postmodern contemporary idea of the two words. Nationalism is more along the lines of thinking of your country first and its interest over other nations. The thing you described as nationalism is often called hyper-nationalism as it's only bad when taken to the extreme like thinking the nation has to be some distorted version the party says it has to be. This is not exclusive to fascist but can also be found with socialist as well. Both are often equally destructive. Patriotism is generally more broad as you stated as it isn't just the interest of that nation over other nations but does consider the interest of the people, generally quite variegated as well. One can be both and not be an oxymoron for example: I want jobs to not go overseas but stay in America. The nationalist in me will think this way because I want the economic benefit to go to my country and not some other foreign power. The patriot in me will think of the people it will be helping through jobs and employment opportunities. I've covered this in other videos before but Nationalism is not a bad thing. Consider first who is telling you it's bad and what they seek to gain from you by distorting your idea of supporting a nation being reductive. Nations are founded on shared ideas and principles if not history. Diversity is not going to unite you when the going gets tough, it's what you have in common, like all being Spaniards in this case. Loving Spain and wanting what is best for her as a Nation and also wanting what is best for the people and separate cultures are not mutually exclusive. So, loving your country often comes from a sense of nationalism and patriotism.
Nope. Again, you are defining Patriotism. which at first seems very similar, but it's completely different. Your idea of nationalism is a revisioned post-modern version designed to whitewash nationalism. This attempt to confuse Nationalism with Patriotism not casual. It's the reason why lately many radical right-wing politicians use it to mask their authoritarian views as ¨love for the country¨. it's the reason why fascism is rising again among very uneducated people. Nationalism started in the xix century, and because of it, France went from the ¨revolution of the people¨ to Napoleon attempting to conquer all of Europe. It's also the reason the most savage imperialism started at that time. Nationalism was used to justify anything, including the holocaust. Nazis are a result of Nationalism. because for a Nationalist, one's country over the others. it always leads to discrimination, xenophobia, racism and fascism. ALWAYS. Nationalism is about creating an abstract idea of what a country should be often using one historical reference to mimic and base its entire ideology on that. and tries to make their people adapt themselves to that one stereotype. Anyone that is not ¨what an American should be¨ ends up being discriminated or even murdered. Patriotism is love and honest pride for one's country as it is, with its diversity, all its history and different costumes. it doesn't form one simple and reductive idea of ¨what an American should be¨ but instead recognizes all the things an American is and adapts the country to its people, instead of forcing the people to represent an abstract and manufactured idea ( I say American as an example, it's applicable for any nationality obviously) @@UniqueArtsCostcoPicasso
@@MarioLanzas. This simply isn't true. The Nazis were nationalist but so were the British, French, Spanish, Italians, and so forth. Nationalism does not inherently lead to evil. You have been lied to and I would advise you stop trying to spread that lie. You seem to think it is tied to fascism explicitly yet the Russians were nationalist and committed similar horrible atrocities. Perhaps the root here is you think things like Socialism are noble? All of these extreme ideologies, communism and fascism included, corrupt nationalism which is not inherently evil. Lying is inherently evil though so I hope you are simply misinformed. Most of the media today spouts what you are saying but it is false. Patriotism has perhaps not been the justification for atrocities like nationalism has been but as I've explained they generally coincide with each other. And again, nationalism is not inherently conforming the populace to one stereotype. There can be diversity in America, or elsewhere, and yet all of those diverse groups can still support the nation and its interest. Caring for the interest of a nation does not mean nazism and you are uncharitably equating the two. Refrain from these discussions if you refuse to acknowledge reality. The people in the media, on TH-cam, and most elsewhere will sell you this Marxist understanding but it is not grounded in reality and should be discarded.
One book that is worth mentioning is "A Study in Scarlet". Sherlock Holmes is a powerfully influential character. He has furthered the field of detection in real life, as expected by a great observer and thinker. Though not as much as he is a scientist, he is a philosopher. The way he explains his reasoning for his philosophical views are quite extraordinary. I have seldom experienced greater words from any other fictional character or real person. Will be checking out some of these other books. You've got me interested.
I, unfortunately, have hardly read any of the works about Sherlock Holmes despite how well-known he is. Thank you for the recommendation, I will have to add it to my list!
