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 10 months ago

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

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 10 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

Certainly better taste than anything your shithole has to offer.

[-] pingveno@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months 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 10 months 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.

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 10 months ago

Do you mean "agitprop"?

[-] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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

[-] neptune@dmv.social 1 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

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