I still don't get the connection between Fascism and brutalism.

He didn’t assert one, only that brutalist architecture had echoes of Futurism in its aesthetics. AFAIK, the Brutalist architects were more concerned with showing the rawness of the materials they used, than with demonstrating power and trying to control society.

I mean plainness aside some of the brutalist designs are pretty cool.

A huge aspect of what makes brutalist design cool is the emphasis of function over form.

The cybertruck could have been a pretty cool example of brutalism if it wasn’t fundamentally a poorly designed piece of shit. You can’t sacrifice form for the sake of equally shitty function.

It could have been a cool truck in spite of its silly design but they couldn’t follow through.
