Trump’s most conservative executive order yet!

EMNofSeattle said:
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.

LOL. Socialized Canada isn't liberal.
Do they dislike non whites as much as conservative USA?

Sure. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Modern architecture is more beautiful to some and old gothic architecture is beautiful to others.

To others yet, it makes no difference.
So, to make an executive order over something so superficial is kinda silly.

Perhaps, but since architecture aesthetics are a matter of taste, that's utterly irrelevant.

Taste is an objective thing. This is a giant lie the left spreads that everything is relative.

In fact virtually everyone agrees older architecture styles are more aesthetic.

No one swarms modern skyscrapers as tourist attractions. Yet seats of government power, royal palaces, 19th century train stations, Cathedrals etc are the major tourism draws.

“To others” “to some” blah blah blah, this is meaningless platitudes.

People absolutely prefer more classical architecture styles.

Classical architecture makes us happy. So why not build more of it? | Coffee House

No, it is not. To assert that it is is to deny reality and to admit to having zero taste. The giant lie that the right spreads is that they recognize what reality is.

The skyscrapers of Manhatten rank 2 in this list. The WH in DC was 10.
Most is natures attractions.
So, as I said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

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.

Victoria is a very left-leaning town, you know. Some of the old architecture has been preserved because there hasn't been the need to make the downtown more efficient or to accommodate rapid population growth. That 's what drives the need for 'modernist' architecture- population growth and efficiency. Not your boogeyman leftists.

Again, I am just doing as you do, string words together to inflate your meager ability to fan the flames.
 
According to EMN of Seattle Classic architecture is now rightist in nature...with no abortions...just white hooded steeples, or aspe if you are doing the crossword puzzle...

Did you see that cringe-worthy pic of Trump with Melania and Barron in that God-awful Baroque interior? I don 't know how to post pics with this device or I'd find it.
Looked like one of those trailer-trash-wins-lottery memes.
 
Trump is known for his tastefully restrained architectural style. That's why all of his real estate projects have been smashing successes.

“Reversing the degenerate culture”... seems to me I remember that phrase from Germany in the 1930s. In fact, the Nazis had a traveling exhibit of degenerate art. Remember, the Vietnam War Memorial was criticized as a “black gash of shame.” Now it’s revered.

But I love the phrase “reinstituting Beauty.” Is there anything the Great Leader cannot do?

Canada is liberal but not socialized. I don't think a Canadian and an American mean the same things when they say " liberal ". If I vote, it's always for the Liberal Party candidate but someone who's socialist or progressive will vote NDP. Look up liberal in the dictionary. There's no socialism involved.

Edit- I just picked up on the French pun in your nym. Are you Canadian?

I actually think the interstate highways were a massive mistake.

Before they existed it could take months to cross the US. As then Lt. Col. Eisenhower discovered in 1919 when he spent 62 days trying to cross the US with a small Army convoy. He left Washington, D.C. on July 7, 1919, and arrived in San Francisco on September 8, 1919. That journey obviously made an impression on Eisenhower.

The Interstate Highway system was created for national security reasons.

“De gustibus non est disputandum,” a phrase in Latin I learned in school. Loosely translated, “one can’t argue taste.” And you should see the designs of tall modern buildings in Mexico City. Chrysler building is also an exception to your absurd rule that taste is objective.

Also, I hate broccoli.

“Modernist” agriculture?!?!?!

I am only going off the OP.. I haven’t read the article yet, but That sounds like a propaganda way to say “we want to let/make them keep doing it the old , dirty , less efficient way...

When is the more modern way the worst way to do things on the industrial level???!


It sounds like meter readers making up those laughable “smart meter” conspiracy theories because technology made their jobs irrelevant..

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.

That is a joke....

There is no scenario where people just decide not to use a tool as efficient as the car.. any nation that did would quickly be surpassed by their competitors.

Conservatism is literally defined as “ protecting the traditions of the past or returning to some bygone era of perceived greatness”

Well The traditions of the past always lose long term...

Why??

Because nothing is perfect...

Until we have something perfect, we will always need to improve and that means sooner or later the conservatives are fighting against a better option..

Aka they always lose long term, and often are remembered by history as monsters..
