    I guess yeah, but I for one think it’s okay. They’re literally awesome. As in, generate awe. Can’t help but to feel awe whenever I stand by the Cathedral of Turku. It doesn’t relay well with images. Which is why I’d like to see the Sixtine Chapel someday myself. Also definitely the Pantheon. Such a marvel.

      So, powerful people spending exuberant amounts of money on building institutions to enforce their power, is alright as long as it generates awe?

      Fascism through beauty i guess.
