The House That Ralph Built

Usually, when Americans talk about "creative destruction", we're rationalizing doing something shitty to people "in the name of progress" or "for the good of the economy" or whatever the plutocrats need us to buy into so we're distracted and not paying attention as they fuck us with our pants on.

Sometimes though, it really is a thing of beauty.

Today, 10AM EDT, Charlottesville VA



I was going to see if I could figure out a way to do a compare-n-contrast thing - like:

"How Americans see the destruction of their historical landmarks versus how Syrians see the destruction of theirs."

But somehow, self-restraint got the better of me.
