True Left

Just gives me a headache and makes me dizzy similar to the feeling I get from trying to read in a moving vehicle. I just don't understand how and why this type of architecture appeals to people? But then again, I'm at a complete loss to why most things that appeal to people actually do. "Way over the top" is an understatement for this type of architecture that's for sure.

Seriously, try looking at the pictures at the time as listening to Western classical music

Then picture Netanyahu or Trump as the composer.... 

More audial hubris to accompany the visual hubris:

Those who claim Russia is not part of Western civilization are a joke. Which other civilization could Russia be part of?

Choral is no better than instrumental when it comes to Western classical music; still the same outpouring of hubris from the same Western mind:

There truly is no other civilization that is so "full of it"!

Recall that Western paintings are characterized by the need to fill the entire presentational surface with paint, and to simulate a 3D background panorama, which reveals an underlying intent to mimic physical vision rather than to simply portray the subject. This tendency had not yet taken hold in medieval painting which left plenty of unfilled space and do not try to simulate 3D:

and which are therefore not to be considered Western. Space-filling and 3D-simulation really took hold during the leadup to the Renaissance:



and soon came to be considered compulsory:







and the next thing you know we are in **** 3D-Land:































This latter type of material-worshipping painting is what we consider ugly, not the medieval stuff which is fine. On the old forum there was a misunderstanding about this by some False Leftists who turned up and started making fun of medieval painting (thereby exposing themselves as Westerners). This is a recurring trend that clearly distinguishes False Leftists from True Leftists: when rightists claim that "whites" are better artists than anyone else using post-Renaissance works as examples, False Leftists retort by bringing up medieval works (thereby tacitly agreeing with the rightists that the post-Renaissance works are superior to non-Western works), whereas only True Leftists directly claim that the post-Renaissance works are inferior.

Further on the subject of the Western aesthetic practice of space-filling, one (uniquely Western) element of interior design that I have always found indescribably ugly is wallpaper:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper#History

Wallpaper, using the printmaking technique of woodcut, gained popularity in Renaissance Europe amongst the emerging gentry. The social elite continued to hang large tapestries on the walls of their homes, as they had in the Middle Ages. These tapestries added color to the room as well as providing an insulating layer between the stone walls and the room, thus retaining heat in the room. However, tapestries were extremely expensive and so only the very rich could afford them. Less well-off members of the elite, unable to buy tapestries due either to prices or wars preventing international trade, turned to wallpaper to brighten up their rooms.

Then when you have wallpapers with paintings (and other ornaments) superimposed, you reach a level of aesthetical inferiority that I couldn't have come up with even if I were trying to make Western aesthetics look bad on purpose:













Note in this last example, not content with filling the walls with ugliness, they couldn't even spare the floor, the curtains, or the sofa from the same fate! Still, you have to admit it suits the Westerners in the photo (the type colonizing all over the world and proclaiming Western superiority (including, ironically, in aesthetics!)).

Next, let's examine the inferiority of Western garden design (starting from the Renaissance). In all cases you see the emphasis on stiff geometric figures, forced positioning of objects and tasteless symmetrical layout. In some ways this hits me even harder because their very maintenance requires daily violence against the vast numbers of plants in order to keep them "in shape". I'm literally screaming inside my mind: "Can't you just LEAVE THE POOR PLANTS ALONE FFS?!?!"







































































































As if all the above were not ugly enough on its own (not to mention indescribably disrespectful towards the plants), sometimes out of nowhere Westerners make sure to remind us about their obsession with high sexual dimorphism:



But remember, according to rightists, Western civilization is "the most beautiful civilization".....
