Architecture is the primary battleground of mainstream cults. Your cult becomes normalized in proportion to the amount of real estate it controls. Dumb cults invest in statues and one-of-a-kind unique properties like fancy temples. Smart cults invest in mass commodity building.

Replying to @vgr
Cults that need to affirm their importance use Greek revival architecture (courthouses, stock exchanges, etc.)

Yes but what architecture does it map to?
Ghetto I think. To the extent that’s a non-vernacular style via recoding (eg. Edison, NJ for Indians)
Upper class immigrants simply blend into local middle class
Cc: @kneelingbus is there “immigrant architecture”?
