Forced Perspective

@UrbanCourtyard This is one of the most important manifestatios of modernity that nobody on the right is talking about.

@kimrholmes @Sargon_of_Akkad Would Old Jerusalem be improved by rebuilding it a suburban subdivision?

@ForPerspective @Sargon_of_Akkad Spaces provides a noise, smell, infestation buffer. I've lived in townhomes with common walls. Ugh, no.

"It is a well-known fact that the peoples of Germany never live in cities and will not even have their houses adjoin one another. They dwell apart, dotted about here and there, wherever a spring, plain, or grove takes their fancy. Their villages are not laid out in the Roman style, with buildings adjacent and connected. Every man leaves an open space round his house..." - Tacitus, Germania, 98AD. It's a cultural habit that we've had for thousands of years.

@Sargon_of_Akkad @Sargon_of_Akkad can you see that unattached American sprawl is the urban form of liberalism? An English way of life detached from her people, commoditized and exported... Leaving atomization and derascination in it's wake...

@Sargon_of_Akkad Modernity & Liberalism preyed on this Anglo aversion to attached buildings in America, to commodify and export the Single Family subdivision... To the point where we no longer live in towns, but "S.F. Residential zones."

@ArchieHicoxGB @Sargon_of_Akkad Yet these medieval stone towns remain.

@ForPerspective @Sargon_of_Akkad Until there's a fire and your city turns to ash.

@Sargon_of_Akkad As for me, I was radicalized by the narrow streets of Christendom... Including the English and even American ones, which inherited this Urban Romanitas.

@Sargon_of_Akkad The Anglo in the New World began to revert to factory settings when given the blessings of an open frontier.... Beautiful places were still made as these unattached homes still shaped space and clung near to neighbor.

@Sargon_of_Akkad New Urbanism has revived a leaner tradition of Urbanism which still shapes space in the Roman mold, but allows for unnatached buildings. Poundbury in England is a local example for you @Sargon_of_Akkad

You mean how we currently live in the ruins from the middle ages?

Conservatives correctly grasp that Marxism is a failure but do not understand why It’s not that the specific ideological construction is a failure, though it is, the problem is that ideology itself tends towards utopian distraction Marxism might be the most obvious manifestation of this modern temptation but is far from the only one As we can clearly see in both the UK and US “rule of law” is just as capable of producing tyranny Once the law is separated from the good of the particular people it was meant to serve it becomes its own ideological game, exploitable by those most willing to rend the culture asunder for their own gain The Aristotelian insight is that while some systems may have advantages over others it is orientation towards the public good that ultimately decides the worth of the system Without a concrete commitment to a specific people any system, including rule of law, will be corrupted

We are able to correct our mistakes

Being a Christian nation is WHY we want to return to State establishments of specific sects of Christianity in all 50 States, as the 1st Amendment guarantees

Public utility infrastructure has no need to be ugly. We do it to ourselves.

I’m not a dove, I want war I want war with the people sending boatloads of rapists to the UK I want war with the people who flooded the heartland with opioids I want war with those tearing down our statues I want war on those transing kids Those people aren’t in Tehran

@BibleInContext1 So the guy He renamed “Rock” has no connection whatsoever to the “Rock.” Got it.

@gsatkowiak Indeed! Yet the quality and majesty of our ruins has greatly depreciated

They absolutely did not hear a British person say this, and it's legitimately hard to find a more English name than Thomas Jefferson.

@uncledoomer True true.... But notice how the quality and magnificence of our ruins has also decreased.

yeah, living amidst the ruins of a more civilized world, wonder what thats like, haha

Every war is WW2 Every leader is Hitler It’s always 1936 Anyone with questions is always Chamberlain
