All those hours of work I put into the old thread were not in vain! (I still have it saved, by the way. At the moment I am wondering how best to republish it. Any ideas?) Also, besides being ugly, the above decor is also utterly un-American; you wouldn't even know that this is in the US just from the above pictures. As American nationalists this is also something that we should keep pointing out. American homes should look distinctively American. #Post#: 258-------------------------------------------------- Re: Western Civilization is UGLY By: rp Date: July 11, 2020, 5:44 pm --------------------------------------------------------- "At last our message is spreading!" It is worth noting that the tweet came from an account whose user identifies (according his twitter bio) as a "muslim iranian" i.e. a non-Westerner. #Post#: 267-------------------------------------------------- Re: Western Civilization is UGLY By: 90sRetroFan Date: July 11, 2020, 11:59 pm --------------------------------------------------------- "i.e. a non-Westerner" Invite him over here!

King Willem-Alexander said that the Golden Carriage, which dates back to 1898, was part of Dutch culture even if it depicts imagery on a panel that is seen as racist. The carriage, which is regularly used for official ceremonies such as the presentation of the Dutch budget, depicts black men and Asians, representing the former colonies of Suriname and the Antilles, bringing goods to their white rulers.[/quote] This is the carriage: [img] (HTM) https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/news/2020/07/18/TELEMMGLPICT000235361422_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqUBIxVrslV3VDNZhXbh9Dr2Z8Qxj2mbySrADHD946rg0.jpeg?imwidth=1280[/img] Racism aside (and don't even get me started on the horses forced to pull this shit), how can anyone bear to ride inside something so garishly ugly?

The latest evidence of this is the following Homo Hubris RNC closing songs which are about as un-American as it is possible to sound: (HTM) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ9PGRmruoc (HTM) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJYRBT2vTJg Yet this is the kind of music Trump and his supporters (look at the YouTube comments!) like. It fits perfectly with Trump's architectural tastes as seen in the decor of Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, etc. (previously posted but currently unavailable). It is all part of the same uniquely ugly aesthetic of the post-Renaissance West. Used in the context of the Trump campaign, it is a shameless dogwhistle to Eurocentrism. Rightists do not want the US to be America. They want the US to be never anything but a crass permanent incursion of Western civilization into the New World. Contrast with the DNC closing song whose sound is instantly recognizable as American: (HTM) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPBi88v7adM Red is the colour of the colonial era. Blue is the colour of American nationalism. #Post#: 962-------------------------------------------------- Re: Western Civilization is UGLY By: rp Date: August 31, 2020, 9:55 pm --------------------------------------------------------- The RNC music sounds foreign (because it is!!), while the DNC music sounds American. #Post#: 2449-------------------------------------------------- Re: Western Civilization is UGLY By: 90sRetroFan Date: November 23, 2020, 1:57 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Further on the topic of ballroom dancing recently brought up, we should also note its inherent ugliness. As is typical of Western aesthetics, it is based on glorification of sexual dimorphism. Observe: (HTM) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVvRQl27JhQ Besides the obvious sexual dimorphism of the outfits (not least the sheer absurdity of the females - but only the females - dancing in high-heeled shoes), even the moves are asymmetric between the performers in a way intended to emphasize sexual dimorphism (e.g. the males never arch backwards under the support of the females, whereas the reverse is frequent), with patriarchy implicit throughout. (Contrast with the sharp reduction in sexual dimorphism (both in outfits and in moves) with the rise of disco (thank you Counterculture!): (HTM) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lODBVM802H8 where elements have basically ceased to be gender-specific and individual performers are expressing foremost their individuality.) ***************************************************** (DIR) Next Page
