Architecture is hideous
Fashion is vulgar
Culture is not culture at all

And the worst part is that people don't even care. This is how you get the Tartaria nonsense. People cannot fathom that in the past people took pride in their civilization and genuinely had the intelligence and skills to create beautiful things.

One idea I have is that this relates to the decline in intelligence and a decline in religious faith.

A rare intelligent post on this board. Now, how we could reverse this? Is it even possible? Or, if it isn't, what could we do and what even we should do? What's the battle we should fight, now? Do we aim to just delay the inevitable, or accelerate it, or to build a parallel society, or to repair it all? How?

No it's not. Its like the prequel to a cyberpunk movie.

We all have supercomputers in our pockets. With a simple prompt we can conjure art that would put the best Renaissance artist to shame. There's nothing we can't know, aside from classified info. Do you remember when we used to have to go the libraries to look up stuff?

No. It's non-whites.

In the sense that "the kingdom is within," yes. Building your own personal life with your family is the path forward today.

Empty art with no meaning more than how gooning-worthy it is. "Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing", just like our industrially produced capeshit.

Remember when art used to mean something? How art was about man's place in the Universe? Terror and redemption? The Pilgrim's chorus in the end of Wagner's Tannhäuser? Modern irreligious man can never create true art, that gate is forever closed. Not my words, but Oswald Spengler's, already a century ago.

As the modern world will descend into a nightmare (just think of the cyberpunk) there will be a wave of Second Religiousness, as Spengler put it. But it's very debatable if it can produce any real art, as it's not a coherent culture-creating power but a hodgepodge of coping mechanisms in the marginal of society.

Perhaps we just need to prepare ourselves and wait. Just two more decades, or centuries. In the end, those who prepare, or at least their bloodlines, will survive.

I love going to the library, tech is okay to look up factoids, but a book goes in the toilet, yard, bed with me. The library has old books, new books, book sales, chess club, cute ladies, I’d be very sad if my only experience with reading was my fucking annoying phone with the cracked screen, annoying interruptions and constant need for power.

>>511201021

Also you can actually find rare stuff from the library, which has never and will never be scanned to the Internet. Antiquarian bookstores are another source for stuff you just can't find online.

>>511201359
What kind of old books do they have in Finland? The oldest book I have was published in London in the 1700s and probably was shipped here when we were colonies of theirs.

>>511201523

Well I guess that for normies who had civilized grandparents, their oldest books are from late 1800's. I guess the oldest books in my family's collections are that tier. Beyond that it's library and university stuff. Our oldest book is a 530 years old medieval liturgy book in Latin. Oldest Finnish-language book is from 1543.

that people are consuming non-sense foods for breakfast lunch and dinner. Also feeding more non-sense to their children.
No one seems to take a bare-foot walk in nature

the few that do care should witness the mass degeneration in it's completeness and then... the culture would emerge just fine, architecture naturally comes with it.

He spoke/wrote of this predicted phenomenon disparagingly, FYI.

Said this will be something the common prole folk would engage in as the main religious institutions declined/embraced trannyism, and he was right.

Let me guess, the way material goods look now is not the fault of the socioeconomic system we live under?

>>511208457
What economic system did we live under from 1850 to 1950 which made everything so much better, and what economic policies do you think would have to change to make the world more like that century's policies?

>>511203271

As I said,

>hodgepodge of coping mechanisms in the marginal of society.

Our time is filled with cults like these, both religious and quasi-religious. Just think about the Extinction Rebellion, #metoo, Q/MAGA and similar shit. Secular cults and some idiots believe in them with a religious fervor.

>>511208805

> 1850 to 1950

Arts and crafts movement sprang up during this period specifically because everyone thought industrial capitalism made the world ugly, souless and mass produced

It wasn't better or nicer, especially not for the majority of population who didn't get to have fancy ornamental palaces and sculputures on facades. Majority of people lived in slums or extremely cheap buildings which got demolished ever since and replaced with something nicer

>>511209572

Erm, ackshually...

>majority of population who didn't get to have fancy ornamental palaces and sculputures on facades

Even the prole barracks *were* ornate. Literal factory buildings were adorned with neo-Renaissance ornaments. It was not a big deal, at all. After all, they lived in a time famously known as *industrial revolution* and it meant that ornaments could be made in industrial quantities. Actually, according to the economy of mass, the more ornate some building was, the cheaper its ornaments became, as they could use for example the same mold again and again.

Picrel is Finlayson factory, built around the time when the last non-artificial famine in Europe decimated the Finnish population. We were a dirt poor thirdie country, Serbia was filthy rich compared to us back then. Still we could afford all this architecture in our fucking factory buildings.

This is a former army barrack, built in 1875. Today it's fancy enough to be used by a university. We call such buildings "value building" today, which is ridiculous. Factories and army barracks of the old third world Finland are considered highest value quality buildings in the modern rich Finland free of hate. "We somehow lost the skills to build like that", "We wuz masons n' shieeet"...

>>511199438 (OP)
Because jews can’t create art.

And I agree with you, it’s something that has bothered me for awhile (as my country grows trash infested with the influx of third worlders). It is all ugly, and it depresses the spirit.

These are cheap proletarian flats built soon after WW2. The bronze plague in the corner of the building contains seething about the civil war which was lost by the Reds. It's literally commie-tier. Still they could afford beauty and ornaments, and today this area is very very bourgeois and inhabited by bohemian green middle class and the proletariat is banished to commieblocks. It's sad. Modernism punishes mostly the weakest ones, those who don't have money to escape the horrible modernist cityscape.

I really hate how popular fashion right now is so niggerfied. It's all so bland and boring. The current trends are just absolutely soulless. NPC core. Ghetto larp fashion. Bland dark and nondescript. Slopcore fashion. People paying through the nose for designer brand plain grey hoodies. I wasnt to slash every trashbag looking puffy nigger jacket I see with a box cutter.
