A Yale architecture professor is convinced that the Trump administration’s plan to avoid spending taxpayer money on ugly, fake-modernist architecture is a prelude to genocide:
This may not seem like the most dangerous thing we face, but it’s one of the warning signs of fascism and…wait for it…genocide. The cult of antiquity & the imposition of monuments to a nation’s mythical glorious past precede both of those disasters. https://t.co/4eyMfqK3FD
Remember how I told you about the ugliest building at Yale being the one that houses architects? This is what happens to them when they stew in the ugliness long enough.
I know somebody who is like this professor. Used to be a wonderful, bright person. And then in 2016 it’s like he caught a virus. Went completely nuts. It’s all genocide this and Nazism that.
Is it possible there’s really something viral here? Something physiological? So many people suddenly losing their minds like this. Perfectly normal people suddenly start braying non-stop about genocide. Seriously, what if it’s something physical?
