Oh god all those people praising brutalist architecture make me want to barf. Trump hotel has some of the nicest stuff I've seen and they shit all over it. Leave it to dumb liberals to find beautiful things ugly. They want to wreck anything that has elegance.

From the Communist Goals read into Congressional Record in 1963 (!!):

  1. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

  2. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

If you've never read that list, you should, and ponder where we're at almost 60 years on. It's sobering.

That's explains why my city looks like shit. They started tearing down beautiful buildings in the 60s.
