>Secondly, "durak" is a masculine gender noun, so a female won't be called like that, unless it's her surname or something. Feminine gender variant of "durak" is "dura", and in case of "durachok" it is "durochka". There's also "duryokha", which is not as cutesy as "durochka" and a bit rude, but still more friendly than just "dura".

Oh yeah right I forgot about that. Come to think, me not using gender forms for fucking everything is probably an equivalent to Slavic article dropping.

>Well, firstly, the word "durak" isn't affectionate at all, it just means "fool", nothing else.

Meh I know what it means. I figured it could be an imaginary play on the soldiers gathering together for card games and finding out some story about her childhood background while drinking and playing cards, with the card tattoo and being a teasing in joke thing for the squad. Plus I simply like that word.

I also like this idea quite a lot

I would definitely agree. There is a lot of masterful engineering and design that took place under the Fascist regime. Some of which is even tied to Fascist thought. I have a real thing for the Lingotto factory. It is spectacular in how it harnesses movement in its design as production spirals upwards, culminating in its ultimate expression of speed. The testing track on the roof. Then you have the Italian arms industry. Known in part for its abortions, but also known for some of the finest pieces in Europe at the time. The Beretta 38, many of their fighter aircraft, their naval vessels. All were really quite advanced and happened in industries that were very much under the thumb of the authorities. I think that there is something of an influence there, though the demise of the intelligent fascist is pretty well documented. You can see it especially in art as time progresses. Italian Futurism that remains in touch with Fascism gets increasingly stagnant and retains an aesthetic without the soul, it's very prevalent if you follow the career of Marinetti before and after the Racial Laws of 1938 for example.

Mussolini was noted as a flip-flopper even by his contemporaries who likened him to a vulture swooping on targets of opportunity. He himself made the interesting but unconvincing argument that in changing times, the regime must change and not be bound by rigid ideology. It pays lip service to the theory of Fascism without actually addressing it.

For the record, I don't think that the Italian regime was inclusive. Fascism is not meant to be inclusive. It's harnessing violent energy, emphasis on violent. It needs a target, but the foundational theory doesn't make the target internal, but external and subordinates everything to the state which focuses the violence into progress. There is nothing to say that the external enemy or the internal ally is a genetic thing, but rather it is a matter of national spirit. It is high theory and not really seen in practice, but that is the nature of political theory in general anyway.

t. has more than a passing historical interest in said Italian regime I'm also the Aussie whose ball is fucked up for some reason

Accelerationism is meant here as focused on the future. You clearly went not very deep into accelerationist territory, Nick Land might be a key figure but todays accelerationism is an umbrella term under which many ideas gather and insofar that homogenity is lost. Speed is not acceleration, destruction vs. navigation, are just a few aspects to point out you are making it yourself too easy here. They all have in common that the future is very important tho. And lastly, it's way to young to give a clear vision of what it is supposed to be, the concept itself might be a process in constant vibration and change, open to contigency and not settled now (or never?). So basically accelerationism as a term is as unclear as postmodernism, might be even worse.

>I think one of the only solid futurists was actually Adolph Hitler. Everyone else, fascists and Communists included, ended up being too wrapped up in trying to preserve and romanticize something about the old way of life.
>preserve and romanticize something about the old way

They all were interested in technology, they all had prestigious building plans, even the 1930s US had the Hoover Dam. Look at the Art of Nazi Germany and it's kitschy cultural artefacts, the presentation of family and rural life.
Fascism as well as soviet communism where futurists in technology but romanticized a never existing the past.

Thinking of it, we have the same case today but the politics are different. Culture tends to look backwards whereas science marches forward regardless. The avant-garde wanted both.

Thanks for the info on Italy and the Futurists.

My problem with A-frames that the walls take away from the usable space and they not that easy to use to other purposes (like fixing a shelf on it, or decorate it with a picture or something). However they usually offer a small loft, attic space, which is nice, added cozyness and such.

Let's go one step further. How about having the option to build one. Hypothetically, I don't have the option and if I would I'm not sure if I built one.
Personally I would lay it east to west so the windows on the two ends of the house faced these directions, to maximize light intake. On the other hand this might be a bad choice for the vegetation on the roof, the north side might be out of direct sunlight and the southern might get too much during the summer (as I think in the circumstances we have here in Hungary).
I'd also plan it to include a loft there to gain space which might prove to be a challenge not to get a too cramped result, this house design doesn't offer that much ceiling space as the A-frame. Put the bed there, kitchen and bathroom below.
Downstairs perhaps could be made elevated, put beams perpendicularly to the axis, into the wall and board it. Plumbing and/or wiring could go below but then they need to be made accessible for easy maintenance.
Also stuff, maybe I'll come up with other genius ideas.

>they usually offer a small loft, attic space, which is nice, added cozyness and such

That's one of the most appealing aspects to the A-frame design. Because of the pitched walls, furnishing the rest of the interior is more challenging, but I imagine I would keep the home nearly empty with only essential seating and appliances.

>How about having the option to build one

Laying it out East to West would be best, and you would probably want the longer sides to get more direct sunlight anyway, to better warm the interior. Any vegetation which is strong enough to survive growing on the earth roof, should survive the extra sun and shade seasonal cycle. Also, if you were willing to elevate the downstairs, then you wouldn't have to stop with just a small area for pipes and wiring. You could go further and dig out an entire basement, as long as you had sufficient support joists at ground level to hold the upper structure(perhaps laid beneath the rock walls, depending on how far down they go).

>For a wooden house I'd go with either a more traditional design or even a futuristic one.

Domed houses are strong, energy efficient, and provide a lot of interior living space. We're going to be seeing a lot more of them.
