everything is ugly now because beauty is necessary for human life and theyre trying to kill us
Everything is ugly because the founding myth of the modern West is the victory over fascism. A society is defined by it's founding myth. Since the fascist aesthetic was based on classical beauty everything beautiful today reminds the modern observer of fascism and evil. Modern man reversed the platonic axiom of the beautiful being the good and godly to the ugly being the good. You can observe this in all fields of design: the ideal is the ugly. This mirrors the development of art in the Roman empire after the christianization. The ideal shifted from strength and beauty on the material plane to meekness and weakness. Earth was made ugly to glorify heaven. The body, human achievement, strong instincts and drives, all of this became evil
