How Skyscrapers destroyed the Revolution

Radicalism is quashed by tall buildings. This is the only conclusion that can be drawn from continued habitation in North America. Mexico plays host to many small buildings and is rewarded with zealous revolutionaries. We, living in the shadows of towering international finance, are led to believe that Mexico is plagued by ‘criminals’ and ‘terrorists’. North of the Rio Grande, we mistake Tim Hortons for freedom. France, fervently dedicated to buildings with fewer than three storeys, is regularly shaken by the revolutionary will of its people. The Eiffel Tower shadowed its people with reactionism, but still the whisper of 1789 haunt the banlieus. Nonetheless, Paris will fall. Japan’s proud history of righteous warfare shook the world till its buildings choked on the depraved narcotic we call upward mobility. Imperialist occupation sent its buildings soaring, and the will of its people was forever crushed. See how the fools of New York are led blindly beneath the citadels of pain and oppression. The world’s miseries are churned through the blinking monitors of Manhattan’s depraved machines whilst the forgotten masses huddle in the continent of genesis, sighing fearfully in their low huts, yearning for the taste of liberty. Liberty is a lie. It will heighten their ceiling but it will not feed their children. It drips like rancid saliva from sharpened teeth. In the lands where men waste their lives marketing liberty’s falsehoods, the buildings are tall. Their height crushes the innocent. The innocent are contemptible.

They are doomed.
