So keep building them like before then. Cool. Keep copying and maybe some day you will come to also embrace the ethos and the culture that you so obviously lack.

You mean slavery, child labour, genocide, misogyny and exploitation? They're doing all that.

Is that what you think Hellenic culture is? You have some reading to do...

Amazing how you overlook all the wonderful things they created that we still enjoy today.

I'm talking about the US. But the Greeks and Romans certainly were up there too.

Maybe they can make a Trump/Vance version of the Harmodius and Aristogeiton gay warrior couple.

They'll need extra small chisels for Trump's groin, according to Stormy Daniels

I hope this blatant mussolini imitation will be met with an appropriate upside-down hanging...

I thought the same initially, and then I remembered that Trump's penthouse looked like this:

So his idea of 'ancient Roman / Greek style' is gonna be "as imagined by an uneducated spoilt rotten eight year old".

But it's america. So it's the Mcmansion version out of cardboard and fake gold.

Better than... Architects deciding? No not really.

I assume that prohibits such styles as minoan and mycinean, despite them being Greek. Persian is right out unfortunately. And none of this American bullshit
