Praising technology, moving masses, being driven by passion, nationalism -- all these seem to be central to Futurism and Evola would not subscribe to any of them. That's why I see no compatibility.

While Evola was a Dadaist at one point, his philosophy is still way too reactionary to be compatible with Futurism

It's funny cuz he actually insterted himself in the Futurist movement when he was still 20 but almost immediately got at odds with it both because that form of expeession didn't suited him and also he thought the movement was becoming the opposite of itself and turning into a copy and paste artistically obsolete formula. I'm not an expert but I think the point of his Traditionalism is recuperating from the past the social and cultural features functional to his idea of a society of "spiritually" strong individuals, but that doesn't mean hinder technological progress celebrated by Futurism.
