@sickburnbro At the very least- brutalism visibly conveys my disgust of the GAE so at least I understand why it's used- because it's something I'm SUPPOSED to hate

@sickburnbro @WTFPurpleAlpaca Some gay op for sure, who is pulling who to the which side is a valid question.

@white_male @WTFPurpleAlpaca no, I don't think it is that at all. I think Chris is looking for revenge, and sees Tucker as a route to that. And he's probably not wrong.

@sickburnbro @WTFPurpleAlpaca An excellent and concise summary. Great clip.
Humans relate to faces. We evolved that way. It's why the aggressively-online tend towards nihilism, crushing ennui or cruelty. What we create--cars, houses, buildings, art--have faces too, and when those faces are made drab, or bland, or remorseless, or cold and unfeeling, we respond in kind.
It's difficult to quantify, and it's hopelessly unmeasurable in any hard-scientific way, but it's the sort of thing *everybody* notices.
It takes a fairly high IQ to even be able to talk oneself into accepting the ugliness as something other than ugliness, and quite a few smart people have managed to do so; but for the honest smart fraction, and the great average middle, it's just a corrosive environment.

@JoshuaSlocum @AmonMaritza @WTFPurpleAlpaca gothic design has a touch of brutalism in it.

@AmonMaritza @WTFPurpleAlpaca @sickburnbro There is something to that, within reason. And there is a cultural aspect as well. The non-figurative designs of the Islamic world appeal more to their sensibilities, for example. I can appreciate it, but I would rather my church have icons or figurative stained glass, because it appeals to my sensibilities.
Germans have a distinct set of sensibilities that may include a bit of brutalism here and there.

There is a Brutalist Cathedral in Germany that was recently attacked for its ugliness. Deservedly so. However, it is nestled amongst the traditional architecture of the town and I think there is beauty in that contrast.
