I’m not super against modern architecture, I like Corbusier’s Paris, I like some Brutalism, I like Rationalism and Stripped Classicism and Socialist Classicism (I know, I sound like Doctor Evil). But there’s no denying that the Jewish-dominated Bauhaus and Frankfurt School had an extreme negative impact on architecture that cannot be repaid based on a handful of nice synagogues. A lot of this stuff looks really silly and tasteless. Imagine if the ruins of Europe had been rebuilt by Speer instead of by the International Style glass-fetishists.

Fun fact: Netanyahu majored in architecture at MIT.

The bauhaus department store in what is now Wroclaw, Poland was designed and constructed when it was the German city of Breslau, capital of Silesia, prior to WWII.

This architecture style being dominated by Jews is not a good image. It's like someone saying "Jews ran a space age society" and then posting the USA post-1965 and the USSR from 1917-33 and 1954-1994 (albeit, Stalin's era was still heavily semitic in governance.)

It's like noting Jewish dominance in Psychology, Feminism or the various Sex movements.

Wow the Salk Institute looks like something straight out of Clockwork Orange. Brutal brutalism.

Come on. You’re smarter than this. You know I’m Jewish and you’re obviously not going to kill me. Stop dumbing yourself down to appeal to people who can’t stand you.

If Jewish architects didn't want to inspire exaggerated, or literal, visceral hate, they should have made better buildings.

Not a mark against you, but any Rotheschildes and shadily funded deconstructivist constructors should get the same wall they put the good people against.

Really, they killed tens of millions of people and then made then live in concrete boxes. I don't think the average Jews was happy in them either.

No idea what that has to do with me. I loved the architecture in the Jewish Quarter of Prague which I was happy to see Stark post.

You mentioned you were a Jew and that the above commenter shouldn't be so general with his threat-curse.

I was stating that generic calls for mass death in these moments generally make sense, because specifically you aren't included, as you're not one of the ones pushing terrible architecture down people's throats, like these men did.

It's important to meet hate with hate. These architects and their backers belong to the arm of Judaism that hates beauty and people, and so, should be cursed. They use the normal-tier Jews as a sort of lock-step shield to protect their own horrible behavior, a la the Soviet Union. "It's us and our shitty concrete boxes and child pornography, or the goyim will string you all up."

Nah. I was unironically making fun of myself and my nature for hate in my darkest moments. Comes from attack on titan and I don't think the MC is someone to idealize but learn from. Great show with a lot of philosophical undertones

I'm not trying to appeal to anyone, really. But no I'd never kill you

Attack on titan meme probably does better with attack on titan imagery

It's satire
