i am no friend of the soviets but it's a mistake of think of their architectural contribution as being just brutalism, because socialist classicism as typified by the work of lev rudnev is genuinely quite majestic, and is a competitor here
a fatal failure of atheism has been it's inability to rival religious structures in any way whatsoever

i hear this a lot but i think this is a bad take for two reasons first: the assumption that only property owners take a long-term interest in society is just flatly wrong; there are many other reasons that obviously influence the votesof *even property owners*
Only property owners should vote. Owning property ties your financial future to the country’s future. I want voters asking what a policy does to the next twenty years, not just what it puts in their pocket next month.

i don't oppose some restrictions on voting beyond what is currently in place, at least not in principle i wouldn't mind, for instance, a mandatory civics test; my issues there are primarily prudential and of implementation, rather than of principle

behind every blade of grass, a hillbilly
America can never fall except from within because the rest of the world is simply unprepared to enter the Appalachian mountains and have drones spray painted to look like the General Lee drop IEDs made out of beer cans on them.
