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)
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.
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 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.
Ahem, have you seen the Moscow subway?
Feels a little bougie if you ask me, but to each their own.

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.
Certainly better taste than anything your shithole has to offer.

I’ve never read a more sour comment in my life. Thanks for letting me know how much you’re seething and coping there.
It really doesnt have a cohesive design motif to it and does feel like strongman propaganda.

Yeah. DC has some very pretty metro stations. NYC has SO MANY stops in Manhattan it was silly when visiting.
Do you mean “agitprop”?
I distinctly remember having to stop and admire the station the first time I went through there.
the Vienna metro (u bahn) is neat because it has a very wide range of architectural styles
This metro system doesn’t have enough parallel track to allow for night time operation or maintenance.
