The legendary architecture school marks its centenary amid political and identity tensions, as the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party surges in Saxony-Anhalt. The Bauhaus Foundation in Dessau fears budget cuts and renewed attacks on its modernist legacy.

Which probably is the only reason they even recognize the term and don't confuse it with that do-it-yourself-store...

Damn you, now I spent 364 Euros on tools and parts I might need when I do this project I've been planning to start for the past 12 years.

Bauhaus: "Function over form. By all means be creative. Be innovative. Be wild. But remember that what you design must, foremost, serve it's purpose."
Nazis: "Somehow I disagree."

Wrong order. It's not that culture war happens because you disagree. The culture war is the goal (usually as a diversion) and so you just invent a disagreement to make it happen. I doesn't need to make any sense as you just disagree to disagree anyway.

I dont like the Bauhaus style, while being way better than plain brutalist glass and concrete monasters, it is still way more aggressive than a nice classic building.
I hate the fascists, but that doesnt mean I need to defend everything they dont like.
Also please leave out the ugly buildings on the new euro bills
