Temples & Ruins

Giving you a bump despite having nothing to add. It's nice to see a few more threads lately that aren't a bunch of losers cuckposting and circlejerking about whose feet they would want to lick if they ever waddled out of the basement.

He's not wrong though.

>>2606357
Doesn't mean we need it here.

>>2605904
No it's not. It's funny how the far right have played only on fear to get us to the point where Europe is now voting almost entirely out of fear.

>Wanting your native people to not be raped in their lands by foreigners
Waning stay the majority population in the lands where their ancestors evolved and not be bred out by immigrants.

You fucking should be afraid you idiot.

>>2608136
lol yeah, stupid Europeans not wanting to be replaced by people from a vastly different culture and race are just silly. I mean forget the demographic stats or destruction of their cultures and traditions. Nothing to be worried about at all.

Fantastic thread derailed by a single xenophobe. Oh well, Thanks, OP. These images are fantastic.

A modern issue that is more related to this thread is the lack of beautiful monuments being built today. The most noteworthy monuments of today are coming from developing countries, which I suppose are trying to make a name for themselves.

It really is too bad that the richest world ever has lost its appreciation for architectural beauty of which our ancestors were masters.

Worldwide, the right wing thrives off of irrationally fearful people such as yourself in order to enforce reactionist policies that maintain the status quo in a time when the tide of global culture is changing at a bewildering speed and what it should really be doing is learning how to swim like Bob Dylan said.

But this is just a thread about pictures of buildings.

Great buzzword you got there.


I dont vote out of fear. I vote out of love for my country and my people. I dont want to see my country nor my people change for the sake of refugees.

>>2613114
Everyone worldwide better get used to the idea of refugees real quick because there are about to be many many more of them. We here in the US have absorbed countless refugees over a number of generations, and our culture has been just fine and very popular. Realistically you have nothing to worry about, hence why your fear is irrational.

>We here in the US have absorbed countless refugees over a number of generations, and our culture has been just fine
>just fine

By 2030 swedes will be a minority in their own country and their HDI will drop dramatically. They are already spending billions on refugees while their welfare state is struggeling. This leads to one thing, and only one thing. It leads to civil war. As soon as the various welfare states of Europe start collapsing all hell will break loose.

Refugees arent the whole problem though. We are suffering from far greater problems in the western world and refugees are just a sympton

If you are truly interested i would suggest reading "The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival" by Sir John Glubb.

His hypothesis is that every great nation/Empire has an average lifespan of ~250 years. In this time the empire will go through 6 stages:
The age of pioneers
The age of conquests
The age of commerce
The age of affluence
The age of intellect
The age of decadence
There are many similarities to be seen if we compare these different stages to our modern day.
The age of decadence is funnily enough marked by pessimism, materialism, frivolity, an influx of foreigners, the welfare state, and a weakening of religion and morals both sexual and spiritual.

It can be found here http://people.uncw.edu/kozloffm/glubb.pdf
As a PDF.

>>2614140
But contemporary technology and the ultra-globalization that has come with it are game changers. Even just thirty years after his time, we are most definitely not living in a world that Mr. Glubb imagined. The game has entirely changed.

>>2614309
and don't forget that in the first world and much of the rest of the planet, half of the human population is no longer marginalized to the extent it had been for at least 5000+ years

trust me these people are never going to assimilate and it's going to be a huge nightmare for decades

I've never understood why liberals are so tolerant of muslims when the basic tenets of islam are antithetical to basic liberal values

islam isn't even the only problem, the middle east and africa are culturally, technologically, and ethically backward in a myriad of ways that makes middle easterners and africans unsuitable for life in the west. the best thing Europe can do right now is enforce a cordon sanitaire against the entire greater middle east.

I mean look at this thing, the Arabs prayed in it for a while and then just let it fall apart

>taking tilt-shift photos of Architecture

No matter how hard I look, I see a sand sculpture held together by ice cream sticks.

It's unnatural

Your culture and country replaced many before it and many will come after it. You were always destined to be another footnote and are nothing special.

>>2621388
Yup, just make sure the cultural artifacts like the ones in this thread are in tact so people remember the good and the bad, and accept the unpreventable tidal wave of history. And be thankful you're not the Native Americans.

The containment board doesn’t contain any longer, but instead attracts more idiots spilling over into other boards. A pity.

European culture played a huge part in the development of Islamic culture, so it's OK for us to go there and set up shop right?

What kind of retarded logic are you working under?

It's actually not tilt-shifted at all.
The lack of humans in it make a visual conception of scale difficult, combined with the surface which is inherently deceptive of form due to its low reflectivity, your eyes will have difficulty in making an accurate perception of its veracity.
