We've been here before. Italian Futurism, founded shortly before WWI, had a similar kind of attitude and laid the cultural groundwork for fascism later in the century, including vocal, explicit support for the early fascists. The same can be said of a lot of techno-optimist cultural figures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurism

One could be forgiven for feeling like we're caught in a swift tide toward a big, ugly global conflict, the way a lot of currents are flowing right now.
