Trump’s most conservative executive order yet!

[EMNofSeattle]

Trump wants to make America beautiful again! MABA!

By banning the federal government from using modernist architecture.

This is very important, the “deconstructionist” architecture style is the most honestly named thing ever. It is so because what the left does is take what’s good and true and beautiful and deconstruct it. A few months ago I went to Victoria for a date with a Canadian woman and so we walked through the old city center of Victoria, and Victoria is a beautiful city, the architecture is beautiful. You go to Vancouver Canada across the water and it’s like a mad ant farm science experiment. Look at the old Union Station in Los Ángeles, you feel like a king arriving in a castle, but the underground part where the Red Line arrives is like a rat in a maze.

The left has attacked the culture at its most basic level and ugly architecture is one of those things.

The great conservative mind Edmund Burke, the founder of Anglo-Conservatism was an aesthetic philosopher, he understood our tradition was not about tax rates or democracy in some third world country, it was about what it good and true and beautiful. Donald Trump has shown that his turn to conservatism is authentic, because he is now reversing the degenerate culture by reinstituting Beauty.

I sure wish he would sign a bill that would make the Interstate 95 highway beautiful again.

I actually think the interstate highways were a massive mistake.

The great conservative philosopher Russel Kirk called the Automobile “the Mechanical Jacobin” and refused to drive.

The breakdown of traditional community with the creation of massive suburbs certainly contributed to this nihilistic consumerism that made the rise of the radical left possible.

Try living in Maine in January without home heating oil. The interstate is one reason everyone stays nice and warm all winter.

I didn’t say roads were a mistake. I said the mass suburbanization caused by the interstates were a mistake. Obviously roads and railroads and ships and ports and airports are all needed for transportation. But the interstate highways were a massive project to subsidize a model of life that was alien to Americans and I think it had many negative affects from White Flight to breakdown of community, to mass consumerism, to surrendering cities to the far left, etc

I could be mistaken, but I think people were living in Maine before 1954

Not at all; some of us may believe we should be more Roman about it; we have a Corps of Engineers, what is the holdup?

 

[OrphanSlug]

And the going theory is the left are all easily frightened snowflakes needing government protection at every corner?

(BTW, this is why we cannot have nice things.)

Who’s theory is that? A subset of leftists are manic snowflakes this is true, but many are overeducated professionals and academics who manage to blend in to society, some are blackmask wearing thugs, and others are mid level bureaucrats and technocrats.

They run a spectrum, but what unites them is a philosophy of disdain for our ancestors who made the sacrifices to gift upon us our society.

Leftist architecture, hmm, traveled Canada a leftist nation and loved it, hmmm...

So you feel more at home in the antebellum KKK era of architecture?

 

[Moonglow]

Was baroque architecture leftist or rightist?

No, the interstate was not a mistake. The mistake comes when bills aren't passed in the Senate that would help maintain these federal responsibilities. Damns, drinking water, bridges, tunnels, roads, levies, those are all the responsibility of the federal and state governments to maintain and keep safe. Before anyone had central heating, of course alternate fuels were used like coal and wood. People moved to where jobs existed and created these communities that depend on good roads to receive the goods and services needed in those communities. Suburban sprawl wasn't just something that just randomly happened. It was a necessity with a growing population.

 

[CriticalThought]

It is a weird order. Neoclassical just happened to be the fad in architecture when the founders were alive. They liked the Greek and Roman style. Not sure limiting ourselves to one style is "beautiful". I am partial to modern contemporary myself.

 

[EMNofSeattle]

I’m beginning to think the NPC theory is correct.

Your one line response is “KKK” first off the KKK didn’t exist in the Antebellum era which shows you do not possess the historical knowledge necessary for this argument, but two did the KKK exist in Latin America? In Europe? In everywhere else where classical or gothic architecture was the norm?

How about you come back when you’re ready to try actual discussion and not asinine one liners referencing the KKK.

I was simply making up stuff like you do please don't take offense if you don't like a taste of yer own medicine..

Canada is not really a leftist nation, American liberals seem to think so but they would throw most Canadians in the basket of deplorables if they ever actually knew any Canadians.

But that aside, I was speaking of a specific city constructed before leftists took over academia in the 60s and the contrast is startling.

Look more asinine nonsense. You’re stringing words together.

If I made something up then make an argument for such, right now you’re making unfounded assertions

 

[Moonglow]

I just love the non classical architecture Trump has used on his buildings...No porticos,


The Dark Side Of Trump’s Architectural Fantasy



“Style is the answer to everything.” That’s the opening line of a Charles Bukowski poem written in 1972, which wanders towards a few peculiar observations: “Not many have style / Not many can keep style / I have seen dogs with more style than men.”

Donald Trump has style, and has pursued its development for decades towards a final, widely-broadcasted presidential act. Through style, he has become a corpulent, red-tied anti-Godiva: all the town's eyes are on him. To look away is taboo, virality feeds on him.

Trump Tower, not so classical in architectural design....

 

[EMNofSeattle]

It is a weird order. Neoclassical just happened to be the fad in architecture when the founders were alive. They liked the Greek and Roman style. Not sure limiting ourselves to one style is "beautiful". I am partial to modern contemporary myself.

It was a fad because it was timeless and conveyed good taste.

And modern architecture is mainly bad taste.

It’s like my adopted hometown of Tacoma, we have a beautiful downtown with steel bridges and brick buildings and everything, and some domestic terrorists with architecture degrees plopped this crime against humanity right in downtown. You need sunglasses to look at it.

They must be leftist what with a socialist healthcare industry. Hey if it's not socialism or leftism I am sorry since Der Fuhrer says that is so you must argue with Heir Trumpet

This could have come from a ramshackle cabin in the wilds of Montana^^^^^^^.

Lulz @ the amount of willful self-delusion required to try and make this something blame the left for when, in fact, this is about the right pathologically clinging to the past and pretending that it's somehow, magically, 'better'.

Funny to see people so easily triggered by nothing.

Many things about the past were in fact better.
