So when you get America back you're going to make it look more like Europe?

A guy in my city has a house built from beer cans, now that's American architecture.

America used to look like Europe before the 1960s. Look at 1930s New York. Even the skyscrapers were built on gothic influence. We still have a few of them today. Look at the Empire State Building.

All your best architecture already took inspiration from Europe anyway. What do you mean 'make it look like Europe'? It already does.

America even it its better days never had the beauty of European cities, likely due to the lack of any aristocratic past.

Definitely not equal to -- a lot of that is due to being new -- but you can see the influence of English Manorial estates in the South, Art Deco and Gothic influence in skyscrapers in major cities and the obvious Greco-Roman influence in many State buildings. I just mean all your best architecture already was a continuation of Europe with a unique American twist.

Modern and brutalist architecture is an affront to us. It's an insult. It's the corrosive postmodernist ideas they shove down our throats made physical. I'm sure not all the designers and architects that designed all of these buildings or styles had this motive in mind, just like many cuckservatives or lolberts unironically believe their ideas will benefit everyone. But nonetheless, just like those groups who poison our society, they were led on and used to create these structures, meant to supersede and overshadow the classical, Gothic, Victorian, etc. architecture that beautifies (or rather used to) our cities and towns.

In older architecture you can see the passion and skill that went into painstakingly designing those little details and miscellanea across the structure and the thought that went into comfort, utility, and aesthetics to create great designs and design features.

In modern architecture you see houses that look like a fancy table. Very little thought that goes into utility or durability. Atrociously bland and ugly. In Russia, compare commie construction to Imperial Russian (and before) architecture, the difference is huge. In Europe, compare the great feats of Renaissance, Medeival, etc. engineering to the bland, generic, "multicultural" and "globalist" designs that are literally meant to be as uniform and uninteresting as possible, just like modern art.

Those structures are not meant to last.

They want to replace our architecture with stuff that wont last and they want to replace our people with other people. And they want to move our production out of our countries, so that our economy is an air baloon. A "has been" economy.

What they can then do is move away to a new civilisation to leech on and the old will be gone with no one to remember its existence.
In less than 100 years, our societies will be gone.

I am not dooming here. This is a call to action. We were born into this.

I know these might not be as appealing to you as it is to me or perhaps you like them too.

No I find it fascinating too. Before I got banned on Twitter some of my favourite people to follow were architecture nerds. Nothing symbolizes with as much potency the decay of our society than the decline and brutalization of our architecture. Western people don't build anything beautiful anymore in fact that would be somehow regressive or fascistic to do so. I prayed after the Notre Dame fire that some disgusting modernist would not be appointed to update the building with glass and steel. Thankfully this hasn't happened but many submitted proposals to do just that.

You can still visit a page named "Architectural Revival". Here is the link - https://mobile.twitter.com/Arch_Revival_

Agreed, the decay of society can be seen on the architecture and the cities around us. I saw some of those proposed redesign of Notre Dame by modernists and it's absolutely atrocious.

There was a great podcast with ZMan & Greg Johnson where they talked some about architecture: https://counter-currents.com/2020/10/counter-currents-radio-the-z-man/

Saw your post defending Brutalism in there and if as the presenter says Brutalism is a representation of a more 'egalitarian' and 'democratic' society then is there any better argument against those two ideas than the buildings presented?

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

I find all architecture fascinating, each style and structure with pros and cons. It happened to be an educational interesting video. I'm not saying I like Brutalism, but I can appreciate and understand the qualities that define it, and just because I post something doesn't mean I necessarily agree with it. You'll see more of the stuff I'm interested in by the numbers of similar content in /s/Architecture though I try not to be too redundant.

I wasn't having a pop at you for posting it I genuinely mean that if Brutalism is indeed egalitarian and democratic ideals come to life in horrid concrete, steel and glass then you have to question the merit of those two ideas.

Agreed - even if they dress it up in eco-friendly sustainabilty and community spaces: Vancouver Convention Centre
