Excellent remarks on futurism and militarism - I was reminded of German Nihilism by Leo Strauss, have you maybe read it?

I have not but I just downloaded it! Thank you for the recommendation. Scanning it now it looks like it will have a lot of resonance with our current reality. Really struck by this idea that nihilism is born out of the prospect of revolution. Reminds me somewhat tangentially of Walter Benjamin’s line about every fascism being born of a failed revolution.
