      Endlessly funny how the people who are actively destroying everything Western culture stands for believe themselves to be its guardians (like this account about "traditional Western culture") https://twitter.com/Western_Trad/status/1273214599064702976 …

      As a side note, I can't recall a single reactionary movement that has had a positive long-term influence on Western culture. The beautiful buildings & artworks you consider "traditional" were often standard-bearers of progressive architectural & artistic movements in their time

          There's also a big jump from appreciating and seeking the emulate the beauty of artifacts inherited from our past, and welcoming fascism, racism, and religious fundamentalism. The defining Western intellectual figures of the 18th century would harshly disagree with your politics

          Another aside: Directly making an analogy between your campaign and an iceberg (generally associated with sinking the Titanic, an "unsinkable" ship) has a very specific flavor of irony.

          I can recall many "progressive" revolutions that ended badly though.

          The Italian Renaissance. It’s architecture begins with a loving, careful and extensive recovery of Roman architecture. It had an enormous influence on European architecture.

          The Renaissance was the very definition of a progressive movement, and was anathema to the reactionaries of that time

          Also "western" tradition was not purely western. It was the Islamic states that preserved classical era works and re-introduced them to Europe - sparking scholasticism. E.g. much of what we know of Aristotle's work comes from translations and commentaries of Averroes (Ibn Rushd).

          Around that time, western intellectual tradition was pretty cosmopolitan. Arabic scholars read the Greeks, Europeans learned from both. Hebrew scholars (Maimonides) were also at the table. Idk where this person's bizarre notion of "western" comes from.

          And dictatorships often have terrible taste in architecture. See the Chilean Congress Building built by Pinochet:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Congress_of_Chile#/media/File:Congresschile.jpg …

          These are fruits of your "Nationalism" chapter in in early ages. Otherwise kids could have been doing plasma physics or chip designing or astrophysics.
