    OMFG the only reason you get these sort of fast food/gas stations/middling hotel clusters is because they’re next to an INTERSTATE EXIT, placed there by CENTRAL PLANNERS. God these fucks are so baby brained that they think anything they like in society just exists naturally and not as the result of active planning and processes.

      "Centralization is when everything looks the same."

      Meanwhile you could uproot the buildings in that photo and plop them back down by some other highway interchange and absolutely nobody would notice the difference.

      This is just "understanding history is marxism" again in the same veign as the ever popular "roads were always built for cars"

        i'm jus riffing here but i think in a sense history is a necessarily collectivist endeavor. it's memory at mass scale. the liberal subject has no use for causes and effects outside their own recollections.
