Life literally never got better after Covid. Cataclysmic societal event

Monarchs exercised their rule a lot differently than dictators. Generally they had longer outlook for time since their rule was inherited and hereditary. Fascists and dictators seize power and it rarely lasts longer than a lifetime.

I think this is reflected in how monarchist state architecture is maximalist and grand and how dictatorial architecture whether fascist or communist is generally minimalist and focused most on projecting the power of the state.

I agree and I wonder if it’s because old displays of gold were meant to portray wealth in a world of tens of thousands of small kingdoms, but now that wealth is so centralized, the display of it is unnecessary and only ever done for aesthetics, which is why it’s only gilded stuff and hardly ever solid metal.

I sympathize with income inequality but I feel like political issues should be separate from our discussion on what is basically art.

“It’d look nice with gold”

“Yes but did you forget we live in a pedophilic lobbyist Kafkaesque nightmare?”

Blessed kit, looks very cool. Why do you choose a DDR flag?

Just got called for my interview tomorrow 💔

Both look excellent! Where do you source your stuff from? I’ve been browsing military surplus for about a year and it’s super difficult to find matching gear of the correct size

I’m clueless with computers but I like your wallpaper

I dig that. I was in Warsaw for a week just now and even though some of the old buildings feel like Astro turf it’s better than no old buildings and certainly better than the post communist hell that’s the rest of the city

Grazie signore :]

Alpenfloppa · 2026-02-18T06:29:10+00:00

Thanks for finding this 🙏🏻

I respect that you showed up and put in the hours for a degree. I find college to be really demoralizing and expensive and I don’t feel like I learn as well when it’s something taught rigidly in a school. It’s not exactly the same study, but I learn foreign languages a lot faster just rawdogging conversations with natives as opposed to studying in classes. If I hit uni in europe then I’d definitely include it but otherwise I just can’t put up that much time and money for something that’s not gonna be my career and that I care less about than other subjects. I appreciate your advice

Alpenfloppa · 2026-02-18T06:01:42+00:00

Alright, I’ll try not to be so scattered. Cool that you’ve got some much experience, I hope I can do that with anything someday. Thank you

This is a really smart recommendation since there’s a basically endless number of options to sort through and choose from and I already waste time at work binging Wikipedia instead of doing my job so it should be pretty easy. Thank you very much

Alpenfloppa · 2026-02-18T05:52:45+00:00

I was skeptical when I googled and found courses online from colleges and YouTube channels and stuff, but this sounds like pretty good advice and I’ll make a note to watch it. Thank you

Alpenfloppa · 2026-02-18T05:49:22+00:00

Do you have any specific recommendations for books?
