make better agi prop, the US has the most gorgeous metro system in the world. Facts dont care about your feelings. (If you dont like brutalist architecture you probably wont like it and I'm sorry)

Ahem, have you seen the Moscow subway?

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

Feels a little bougie if you ask me, but to each their own.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 10 points 2 years ago

Funny you'd say that, because even though the first plans for it date back to the Russian Empire, it was the communists under Stalin who actually built it.

In case anyone is wondering, that's Komsomolskaya station, built in 1952. Later stations tended to not be so opulent.

Here's a new station that's just been built for ya

That's not opulent, that's just bad taste. The other one was absolutely beautiful.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Certainly better taste than anything your shithole has to offer.

[-] pingveno@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

None of the design elements work with each other, to start with. Then it's like after the fact, some shmuck from the propaganda office told the architects to stick a stupid looking fighter jet in there. It's like a weak man's idea of a strong design.

I've never read a more sour comment in my life. Thanks for letting me know how much you're seething and coping there.

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

It really doesnt have a cohesive design motif to it and does feel like strongman propaganda.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I mean, obviously it's nowhere close to Soviet designs in terms of quality, but we're comparing with US here.

[-] pingveno@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I think I owe you an apology. I took your initial comment as you trying to insult me, given our past interactions. Not that I wasn't giving an honest opinion on the design itself, but otherwise I would have just kept it to myself.

[-] Neato@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago

Yeah. DC has some very pretty metro stations. NYC has SO MANY stops in Manhattan it was silly when visiting.

[-] seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

Do you mean "agitprop"?

[-] neptune@dmv.social 1 points 2 years ago

This metro system doesn't have enough parallel track to allow for night time operation or maintenance.

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I distinctly remember having to stop and admire the station the first time I went through there.

[-] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

the Vienna metro (u bahn) is neat because it has a very wide range of architectural styles
