It is okay to do a genocide as long as you look solemn doing it.

I wonder what the strategic ally wants to do with the land after finishing the genocide. I’m sure their reasons are a lot better than building condos since it apparently justifies a genocide. clueless

But seriously, they are defending funding genocide but aghast at the concept of getting a kickback for funding the genocide? The liberal mind is a marvel.

Song supremacy. Tang is for poseurs.

My coworker had the brilliant idea to book a load of filter changes in the top of a glass building where the ventilation rooms are hardly ventilated (ironic). So I was stuck crawling around in ventilation ducts and hauling stuff up and down stairs and ladders in protective gear in 35 degree heat. My gloves had half a deciliter of sweat each in them when I took them off.

If only it had been the day before when it was pissing rain, but no, the weather has to be an asshole like that.

I did. You have blankly refused to answer any of my questions though, and instead decided to change the subject to the ideology that some proponents have so further interaction seems pointless.

It is an actual train station that is currently being renovated in China. Which is kind of my point, we have the kind of stuff being derided as idealistic actually being made in China, with the kind of images promoting it that are being derided for being fascist. Is the topic at hand here that some people who promote solarpunk that are fascists and that we then work backwards from that to see the same in the art, or is it that solarpunk is inherently fascist aesthetically speaking (which I assumed the post was about)?

What is the substantial difference between this render and a solarpunk render of a forest city? (Or the renders of forest cities being built or sponsored by China)

You are the one coming out with a topic stating that the art doesn't show the workers building it and is therefore fascist by default. Virtually no art other than socialist realism features the builder, and even most soviet architectural art doesn't feature any people to any significant extent. It is the same kind of tea leaf reading that you get when westerners call Stalinist or Chinese architecture totalitarian and evil by imagining the people who were enslaved to build it.

I wonder since the majority of the real world muscle behind the actual movement with forest cities and expanded solar power automation is currently in China. Like, another topic you just posted completely fits with the whole aestetic, but I assume it wasn't meant to be seen as terrible news.

So is that a yes or a no? If we were to assume that no aesthetics exist other than solarpunk and socialist realism your argument would be sound, but as it is now you defined pretty much everything that isn't socialist realism as fascism.

Shit, the Trots were right no-choice

So all art featuring architecture that doesn't have it actively being built or features someone holding a hammer in the foreground is fascist?

Is this fascist?

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

No. They are not cool.

Not only that it hurt her feelings but was actively detrimental to the cause. According to the post it has only served to alienate the "reasonable zionists", needlessly traumatize people on twitter with gore (a terrible sin apparently), given cover for antisemites and aided Trump in getting elected.
