Same vibes as Mussolini being weirded out by Hitlers increasingly esoteric rhetoric in discussion with him

Filippo Tommaso Marinetti an early supporter of Mussolini and proponent of futurism was known for his wacky ideas like syntax removal, central to his Destruction of Syntax manifesto (1913), it radically breaks traditional grammar rules to liberate poetic expression. He stripped poems of conventional syntax, punctuation, adjectives, and adverbs to accelerate rhythm and sharpen impact. Verbs often appear in their infinitive form to fluidify meaning. This approach creates a telegraphic lyricism, favoring abrupt, fragmented, and non-linear word arrangements that mimic modern speed and dynamism. This according to Marinetti would achieve words in freedom where words flow freely. In his view, traditional sentence structure was too slow and restrictive to capture the dynamism and speed of modern life and technology.

Dude hated traditions and the past with such intensity, everything he wrote was like a shitpost. He even made a manifest of futuristic cuisine in which he proposed to ban pasta and start eating rice...in Italy.
