Setting aside the indescribable inferiority of Western air conditioners as covered here:

https://trueleft.createaforum.com/issues/decolonized-housing-(america-edition)/msg14085/#msg14085

even an earlier Western cooling device suffices to exhibit Western inferiority:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)#Steam

Quote
In 1849 a 6m radius steam-driven fan, designed by William Brunton, was made operational in the Gelly Gaer Colliery of South Wales. The model was exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851. Also in 1851 David Boswell Reid, a Scottish doctor, installed four steam-powered fans in the ceiling of St George's Hospital in Liverpool, so that the pressure produced by the fans would force the incoming air upward and through vents in the ceiling.[6][7] Improvements in the technology were made by James Nasmyth, Frenchman Theophile Guibal and J. R. Waddle.[8]

You cannot make this **** up. A fan driven by steam. Yes, steam (ie. boiling water, boiled by burning fuel). That is how much total heat they are actually adding to the system just to transfer some ordered motion to a small stream of air (that energy also ending up as heat after a while). Only Westerners could ever invent something so inferior. Imagine how much cooler the place would be just from *gasp* not boiling that water!

Subsequently:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)#Electrical

which is not much better since the energy required to spin the blades at the same pace as the steam fan still has to come from a generator burning fuel elsewhere, thus still adding total heat.....

Quote
In 1882, Philip Diehl developed the world's first electric ceiling fan. During this intense period of innovation, fans powered by alcohol, oil, or kerosene were common around the turn of the 20th century.

Again, imagine how much cooler the place would be just by not burning that fuel.....

The Great Replacement solves problems without even trying to:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11088749/Plan-build-132-homes-sport-grounds-Marsfield-Sydney-immigrants-dont-like-rugby.html

Quote
Plan to pave over three local sport ovals to build 132 homes because new Asian immigrant residents aren't interested in rugby
...
He said the rugby fields weren't of interest to new residents from China, India, Korea, and the Philippines where 'rugby is not popular'.
...
'Sixty-eight per cent of the local community derives its ancestry from countries where the sport of Rugby is rarely even heard of,' a statement on its website claims.
...
The website for the proposed plans explained the demographics and needs of the local community have 'vastly changed in recent decades'.

I previously mentioned rugby here:

But back to the issue of grass playing areas, other sports played on grass include equestrian, football, golf, hockey, rugby. Notice a pattern? All sports played on grass are Western! This goes back to the Western obsession with lawns that we pointed out earlier:

Enemy article:

https://xyz.net.au/2022/09/the-decline-of-argentina-a-case-study-in-demographic-change/

Quote
Between 1880 and 1914, over six million Europeans immigrated to Argentina, largely from Italy, Spain, France, Germany and Britain. The European immigration wave also correlated with Argentina becoming the 10th wealthiest nation in the world per capita by 1913, having surpassed the US’s GDP per capita in 1896. This influx also contributed to the largely Italian, but also pan-European culture, which is still evident in the nation today, from the Spanish language, the Tango dancing, the heavily meat-based cuisine, the majestic Buenos Aires architecture, including majestic buildings like the Teatro Colon

This is the picture our enemies included as an example:

Quote

Stunning European architecture of downtown Buenos Aires.

Then they complain:

Quote
Following the Great Depression of the 1930s, huge numbers of Mestizos and Amerindians from neighbouring nations like Paraguay (a nation that enforced miscegenation by law), Bolivia, Peru and Chile began to pour into Argentina, transforming the once predominantly European ethnic makeup of the nation into a nation that is believed to be around 40% non-White today.

And they post another picture as an example:

Quote

Slums growing in parts of Buenos Aires.

Comparing with pre-colonial Argentinian architecture:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pucar%C3%A1_de_Tilcara









the slum block at least shows some geometrical resemblance to the pre-colonial style. If we look at another block with less vertical construction, the resemblance is even greater:



The same cannot be said of the colonial architecture, which is entirely Western. It is therefore clear who is Argentinian and who is not.

Brief reminder that demolishing buildings on its own is not an effective way to end Western architecture:



The bloodlines which built them the first time can easily build them again. Only by eliminating the bloodlines first can we ensure the buildings do not come back after being demolished.

This person built this house almost entirely by themselves. Imagine what could be done with just five people? I suspect this house has the potential to last thousands of years:

Tumble driers (another Western invention, of course) are even more absurdly wasteful; I never saw any reason to use them. What is wrong with simply letting laundry dry by itself?

Yet I know of some Western residential compounds where it is actually forbidden to dry laundry outdoors, supposedly for the sake of maintaining the view!

another benefit to hanging laundry outdoors to dry, which I forgot to mention last time, is that it considerably cools the air in the vicinity from evaporation of the water absorbing ambient heat! This effect is especially beneficial during summer.

But of course Westerners would rather dry using a tumble drier and cool using an air conditioner, both of which actually generate additional heat. This is how inferior Western civilization is.

Lint gets backed up in the vents and many people don't clean them out spreading the smell of strong lint and mold all around their house. I know some houses that permanently smell like this spreading out to the sidewalk and other properties. Can't they at least take care of their own filth?

Chinese ghost town of mansions reclaimed by farmers
...
the State Guest Mansions project -- lavishly planned as 260 European-style villas complete with swanky facilities for visitors of the provincial government -- was abandoned.

Local farmers now plough land that was envisaged as manicured gardens for the wealthy and politically connected

 :)

Quote
"This place is great for exploring, so I like to hang around here... and film a few clips," said a black-clad drone flier as he rested on the marble floor beneath a vast, tarnished chandelier.

Around him, gloomy alcoves stored haphazard stacks of dust-caked furniture in styles that evoked France's Palace of Versailles.

Have people learned to stop being Eurocentrists? Or will they resume as soon as economic conditions improve? We will have to wait and see.....

https://us.yahoo.com/news/irans-ancient-wind-catchers-beat-025039740.html

Quote
Iran's ancient 'wind catchers' beat the heat naturally

Tall, chimney-like towers rise from centuries-old adobe houses in Iran's desert city of Yazd, drawing in a pleasant breeze for residents of one of the hottest cities on earth.

The wind catchers, called badgirs in Persian, are just one of the engineering marvels inhabitants have developed in this ancient city in central Iran -- where temperatures reach well over 40 degrees celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in the summer.

And, unlike energy-guzzling air-conditioners, they're cost and carbon-free.

"For centuries, before we had electricity, they made it possible to cool dwellings," said Abdolmajid Shakeri, the provincial deputy of Iran's cultural heritage and tourism ministry.


The oldest of the city's 700 wind catchers dates back to the 14th century, but the architectural feature is believed to date back as far as 2,500 years when the Persian Empire ruled over much of the Middle East.
...
"Thanks to them, people lived at ease," he added, describing how the wind catchers pull fresh air into buildings and allow hot air to ventilate out through large vertical slots.

Majid Oloumi, the head of Dowlatabad garden, home to a towering 33-metre (100 foot) wind catcher -- one of the tallest in the world -- described the cooling method as "totally clean because it uses neither electricity nor polluting materials".
...
Similarly, ventilation inspired by "termite mounds, an approach similar to that of badgirs" were built atop Eastgate Centre, a shopping mall and office complex in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Continuing:

Quote
"Unfortunately, our ancestral heritage has been forgotten," especially since the emergence of air conditioners, said Oloumi.
...
"Today, house architecture imitates that in other countries, and cement-based construction does not correspond to the climate of Yazd," he added.

Be specific! Which other countries? What do they have in common? (Hint: they all belong to the same one civilization.)

Quote
Kamaraji says bioclimatic architecture has waned due to economic constraints and modern construction methods that "largely favour the use of energy and fossil fuel intensive materials".

Which one civilization do all these materials come from?

Quote
Another sustainable architectural feature of Yazd is its system of underground aqueducts called qanats, which transport water from underground wells, aquifers or the mountains.

"These underground aqueducts have great utility," said Zohreh Montazer, an expert on the water system. "They constitute a source of water supply and make it possible to cool the dwellings and to preserve food at an ideal temperature."

Iran is estimated to have around 33,000 operational qanats today, a significant drop from the 50,000 in use in the mid-20th century.

"The day when fossil fuels run out," said Montazer, "we will have to return to these methods."

But first we will have to make sure that one particular gene pool also runs out.

Woke comments:

Quote
I am an Iranian. The  building in front of the photo seems to be the subject, the mosques are farther at the rear. Badgir is actually a 'Solar Chimney' used by ancient Iranians that produces an airflow upon a small 'pool of water' causing the water to evaporate and as a result make you feel 'cooler'.

Quote
My great grandfather's house in India was built in the 1940s. the ceilings are 12 feet high. In addition to the windows at the normal height, about 4 feet, there are windows at the 10 feet level that can be opened and closed from the floor via a mechanism involving ropes. People have always known that hot air rises.

Quote
The Native Americans have cave dwellings that keep you cool in summer and warm in winter.  The ancient people all over the world came up with natural ways to solve problems like that.

Quote
So often the wisdom of the ancients are forgotten and ignored. So often so many of us are taught to believe that only new things count. Not too late to take a step back and examine the value of what was and we may just end applications much needed today.
