@Thrythwulf its in between the red circle and purple circle. this was age before black people were in east africa dont forget. that was back in the age of pygmy hegemony keeping them at bay.
@ScythMyth Paying taxes reinforces hegemony, but the government builds nothing beautiful, and builds nothing that future generations 800 years from now will want to preserve. Time rights everything in the end.
@ScythMyth If someone says the US congress building is pretty, do you respond with dismissal and talk about how bad the congressmen are? Should we judge art by the person who commissioned it?
@ScythMyth The gothic style is deeply rooted in Christian symbolism and manifests a true representation of Jesus's divine glory where churches finally started to shed their roman skin, which is why contemporary roman and byzantine figures hated its divergence from "classical" building
