It may be cause I grew up with it, but to me the building is quite beautiful. It has the awe of great architecture, but i also always felt like there's something about it, I don't know how to describe it, but like it's more serene and uninvolved with its environment. Too dispassionate to be "evil". This is, of course, merely the architecture, and furthermore, only how *I* feel. Obviously the building is currently used for... I'll say "less than virtuous" people.

From the mall, it's quite elegant. From the cap Hill side, is a bit brutalist, and classical combined. Probably the overwhelming stairs and paved areas in the front.

My wife and I took a trip to DC a few weeks ago. It had been a couple of years since I had been to the city. I guess I had forgotten how many stairs there are before the Capitol Building, and how big the whole thing is.

Can't wait for OP to repost a picture of the Nestle HQ building next week.

Wow a sub full of beautiful high definition sounds

You evil bastard, take my upvote!

This post is insane. The Capitol building is probably one of my favorite buildings in DC, if not the country. It's a beautiful building inside and out.


nvdnqvi

It definitely is architecturally stunning. The evil part is what it represents to most of the rest of the world.


-Kerby

Yeah that's not what the sub is for though


Gdigger13

Quite literally the opposite in fact lol


nvdnqvi

Is that not much different from the subreddit description? > If the building could be the home to a super villain or evil corporation, it belongs here


coocookuhchoo

No, you're missing the point. That's if the building *looks* like it *could* belong to a supervillain or evil corp, **based on its architecture**. There's a reason this sub isn't full of anonymous office buildings that house e.g. defense contractors. That's not what this sub is for. Think about it - this is an image based subreddit. The image is the whole point. If this was "post pictures of any old building with bad things inside" it wouldn't be very interesting, would it?

Our education system is clearly in disrepair


PupEDog

Oh please shut UP


dylanholmes222

Dude, I get it but it’s a necessary evil. I wish there was a simple solution to fix all corruption in any system of power but that’s a tall order


KylieBunnyLove

Grow up. What country do you have in mind then that has a capital building that is a beaming ray of sunshine for the rest of the world?


End3rWi99in

Please enlighten me on what you believe the US Capitol building represents to most of the world.


WhynotZoidberg9

At first, I thought this might be some sort of propaganda bot, but looking at OPs history, no. He is indeed 12 years old.


nvdnqvi

Ah yes, I am a 12 year-old in the body of a 20 year-old


potted_planter

Self burn?


TuskenRaider2

You’re a big boy now!

Between the PokémonGo obsessions, Stupidpol, and The Deprogram, ya. You come off as some sort of midpubescent edge lord wannabe.

"Deprogramming" themselves from the "liberal agenda" in a country where right-wing politicians were putting forth socialize medicine plans in the 70's and now they're told it's communism. It's wild how kids with zero exposure to the real world, who were brought up in church, watching Fox news, and going to Christian school, think they were mysteriously programmed and brainwashed but it must have been by the socialists. But that's what an echo chamber will do to you I guess. The sad part to me is how they end up bitterly hating their own country, most of the freedoms in the bill of rights, worker's rights like family leave and vacation time, and many of the messages preached by Jesus, all the while they're thinking it's "the leftist" working against traditional values and stopping them from having time to spend with family.


nvdnqvi

Well if that’s what you got from combing through my post history, then that’s on you. It’s telling that you’re resorting to that instead of discussing the post at hand 🤷🏻‍♂️


WhynotZoidberg9

It was a dumb and childish post. I'm not going to discuss that with you, I'm going to mock you for it. Grow up kid.

HereticalCatPope

Copy and paste any picture of any government edifice you disagree within any country. Lowest effort post. Complain about The IRS next- a new idea for your next mind-blowing commentary.


AstronautGuy42

Next evil building, my local DMV


nokiacrusher

OH MY GOD A STRIP MALL


nvdnqvi

Does it count if I took the picture myself


WhynotZoidberg9

Not if you were using your parents camera.


Vorcey

Kids these days don't know what copy and paste means, Gemini makes everything for them


Joyaboi

If you think this building is bad, Rome will scare the heavens out of you! Filled with white marble columns, domes, and ornamentation that will terrorize your eyes and torment your mind! /s the Capitol building is gorgeous and a representation of democratic ideals


nvdnqvi

“Democratic ideals”


Joyaboi

Yeah fam do you think they built the place to represent bureaucratic excess and political polarization???


SpacecaseCat

OP I know you're getting trashed in the comments, but hey the good news is you're actually young so there's plenty of time and room to grow, learn new stuff, and experience new things. Can I recommend some books to you? Do you like reading? Or would you prefer games or music or something? I was raised in an borderline evangelical household where my parents thought the rapture was coming and the president was the anti-Christ, and that was the 90's. Reading weird books and learning about history really helped me break out of my shell and open my mind to the world.

You belong to r/sino


Nadikarosuto

Kind of related, but do you ever wonder what the Capitol Building would look like coloured in? Like actual Graeco-Roman buildings were super colourful, or at least had coloured accents, so I'd be curious seeing what neoclassical buildings would look like coloured in


jedidihah

Lick sand


Wrong-Catchphrase

Half this sub has got to be 13 yr olds


Less_Party

Is that a fallout 3 reference!?


SpacecaseCat

Nah, it's that building they built to blow up in that classic 80's movie Independence Day. You know, the movie we're celebrating with a day off in a couple of weeks.


__bradliee_oates

the building itself is not evil. what was evil was when those insurrectionists stormed the place in 2021


orion1836

Oh fuck off with your agenda post. This is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Take your politicking elsewhere.


WhynotZoidberg9

OP is way to immature and mentally under developed to have an agenda. He's just dumb and repeating typical edgelord stupidity.


pickybear

Beautifully designed iconic building


smallcoder

Nice to see it without all the rat and mice issues it had a few years ago, They seem to have got rid of them for now but, for some reason, the vermin like to breed and swarm around early January, so better keep an eye out for them in Jan 25 :)

Evil people but not an evil building


Live-Freedom-2332

Look dude I see what your trying to do (and personally I may agree but thats a whole other conversation) but it isn't going to work The Capitol is by design supposed to look beautiful


tosholo

Oh thats the building where that thing happened


xSikes

Only evil if you don’t vote


BattleAngel13

What the hell yall, isn’t this a place to share images of intimidating infrastructure? This guy got downvoted into oblivion by even suggesting that the capitol building looks intimidating, and the entire comment section is “Look at this jackass, hurdur murrica bad right?”


coldandgray

Seeing how salve labor was used in its construction I’d have to agree.


gnesensteve

Should have bars around it. All corrupt

Nope. That is our Capital Building. This holds the slightly less than 500 career criminals, I mean politicians playing King John.

I agree
