   The CNN host who ate human brains is now saying that the reason most US cities are dirty, dangerous and disgusting is because they are vibrant expressions of democracy. I mean sure if thats the line you want to hang yourself with I'll agree with you, can't really argue with that.
   
   "We can't have pretty things because capitalism demands brutalism and utilitarianism" modern shitlibery is just taking basic right wing takes, asserting them without a hint of irony and then implying that you're weird for thinking thats a bad thing.

     @givenup @Shadowman311 He's a pajeet. That's how they like it. When he sees homeless beggars shooting up in public and shitting on the street it reminds him of home.

     @Tsuki @Shadowman311 wait till you niggas see the Montreal Metro. The city got the bright idea to let Brutalist wankers go nuts designing it. It was built during the Quiet Revolution, after all.

     Honestly not that bad for brutalism. I've seen worse. The thing about all those solid concrete pours is that they will last forever, but they also are very difficult to demolish or renovate.
     
     The Chemistry building the University of Cincinnati is a great example of a horrible looking building, that is there forever because it's literally too expensive to ever safely demo.

     @Shadowman311 "In contrast, New York's subways are a product of capitalism, having been built and operated through public-private partnerships of various kinds, which are more budget conscious."
     So by capitalism, he means corrupt politicians handing out contracts for kickbacks. Aren't they the ones that claim Russia is run by corrupt oligarchs? If it's the same on both sides, why are they able to build and maintain nice stuff?

     @PoalackJokes88 The ultimate argument here (and boy oh boy is it a stupid one) is that capitalism demands brutalism while authoritarians demand whatever they want (like classical architecture that pretty much every sane person likes and wants more of)

     @PoalackJokes88 @Shadowman311 In the 19th and early 20th century many of the merchant elites that ruled over America were Anglo (Norman?) Industrial Tycoons and Oil Barons. The type of men that would literally slit their competitors throat but still have enough appreciation for beauty to fund public parks, still have *enough* of a bond with Whites to fund public initiatives and things like that. They were far from perfect, Albino Squirell had a great thread about the half millenia of conflict between normans and anglos, but they didn't have the genocidal hatred for Whites that jews have. So with the White elite that preceded jews, they *were* undoubtedly selfish bastards but they weren't as bad for White commoners as jews are today

     @Shadowman311 The only nice things allowed in capitalism (as he defines it) are the penthouses of the ruling class. Except not even that, because they're jews with shit taste that would rather signal their degeneracy to other tribesmen than build something beautiful.

     @Shadowman311 I'll also point out, at no point did Americans ever vote to allow in infinity niggers from Haiti or Somalia nor did they vote to give homeless bums free houses and drugs. At every stage those things were wildly unpopular but carried out by different bureaucracies for (((ideological reasons))). When the popular will is carried out, people vote in various shades of Hitler, which is why they have such a war against "populism".
