The National Futurist Manifesto
We need a National Futurism
We need an American Futurism. A National Futurism. We need to rebuild our country and get ourselves out of this degrowther era. We need to revitalize the cities. We need to move forward. We need to accelerate. We need to reanimate our nation.
.
Progress can no longer keep up and the future cannot wait. Bureaucrats worship the past; they kneel before regulations. We are National Futurists. We are the vanguard of a new American rising. We are possessed by the vitalist spirit that has raised civilizations through history.
.
The disenchantment we have faced at the hands of lockdowns, inflation, activism, and its assorted establishments have left us with no choice but to build a counter-elite that resurrects the renegade spirit of America.
America is a launchpad and our task is to fuel it with energy and risk. We are a nation of artists, pioneers, astronauts, and inventors. We are building the means to transcend the systems that hold us back. We believe in escape velocity. We believe in superior aesthetics.
.
We are not Left or Right. These labels are dust. Our allegiance is to speed, power, and beauty. We reject both stagnation and nostalgia. The new order is already forming and we are its architects. We are National Futurists and we will Revitalize America.

If you like what I’m doing here at The Cultural Futurist, don’t forget to buy me a coffee.
Agree with all of that *but* - it's not just the cities that need revitalization. The countryside is a withered husk of ghost towns, drug abuse, petty crime and suicide. The brain cannot be healthy when the body is sick, and the body has been poisoned and hollowed out by big brain ideas from people who only think about cities. So don't be that person. This downward spiral feedback loop of dysfunctional cities ignoring the needs of rural areas -> collapse of rural areas driving further dysfunction in cities -> repeat ad nauseam is how we got here.
Love the Art Deco style.
