at least that would be visually cool. currently we have none of the benefits of feudalism, but all of the downsides. Like at least during the massive wealth inequality around 1900, they built shit like this:
Truly excellent point. The closest thing to badass architecture that the neo-aristocracy is doing right now would be those godforsaken super-yachts. But they’re either en route, somewhere in the ocean where nobody can see them, or else just tied up at the pier, looking like a generically massive “look at my wealth dick” boat. Yawn.
Like you’re saying, they could at LEAST build some super-amazing buildings. Or maybe, like, two or three of them could get into a prick-waving contest, to see who’s gonna pay off more people’s fucking medical debt. Just to flex.
aaaaaAAAAAAAAAA!!! Now I got flashbacks of watching investigations from Anti-Corruption Foundation.
I think this is only translated part of investigations, where yachts are mentioned. Maybe also this old investigation, but I don’t clearly remember if it had yachts in it.
from what I’ve seen pretty much the only newly built “pre-war” architecture comes from citizens movements. You know, the people that actually have to live and work in these buildings, that can’t flee to their island on their mega-yacht.
It only takes around 3-5% more money, not to build oppulent buildings like this, but toned down, still beautiful versions that used to be the norm before the World Wars. But they are 100x more beautiful than any of the McMansions and shoe boxes we mostly build today.

Not for long, the orcas are having fun sinking them all lately.
