The only silver lining here is maybe this will stop people from using these “magic” trinkets to justify religious belief. Like imagine how much human progress has been slowed with nonsense like the Shroud of Turin wasting everyone’s time.

The cathedral itself holds architectural and historical value, but these “treasures” are a scourge.

This is crushing!

We are going to Paris for 8 days in September and we were surely going to visit Notre Dame. Man. Life comes at you fast.

The real victim here.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Its actually kind of amazing how hearing the news about the ongoing destruction of one of the worlds most famous architectural landmarks and heritage sites, one that its increasingly looking likely is going to be lost to the ages, era just cannot help themself being miserable, snide, shitty little arseholes

[BisMarckie]

Probably because rebuilding a cute town square is not really equivalent to repairing a cathedral that's 856 years old. Also telling people to "cheer up" while watching said cathedral burn to the ground comes across as a bit dickish and unfeeling. Just saying.

I think rebuilding the whole town of Warsaw (that what this poster is referring to) required a tiny bit more work. 

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

The idea will be to build it exactly like it was i would think, with probably more modern infrastructure and materials, but the same architecture.

oh good. a copy.

i wonder what walter benjamin would say about this...

Shame we don't have a pretentious hipster shithead emote really.

Do they think the entirety of the cathedral is the original 12th century material and structure and architecture or something?

It's old, so they probably think its origins have something to do with colonialism and tomorrow they'll celebrate its fall.

Notre Dame and the city center as a whole weren‘t top priority targets for the Germans. Allegedly there was an order to destroy the entire city before retreating, but Notre Dame wasn‘t heavily damaged in WWII.

Consider donating those pictures to Wikimedia Commons for historical preservation.

The french won't rebuild it. They'll build a new, bold cathedral that will remain at its place for centuries to come.

After today, Notre Dame is effectively gone forever.

lol wat. 

[VomKriege]

Man it's a bummer but between the 24 hour news channels and reading the weird Era takes ("almost like 9/11 for me") I'm already burnt on this. Shit burns ( or alternatively get bombed, destroyed in earthquakes, etc...) all the time in human history. It's a shame for the lost works of art but we'll endure and rebuilt. That's what we do as a species.

[BisMarckie]

Breaks my heart that the beautiful round stained glass window is probably destroyed now. I haven't been there myself, but I fought a bad guy in front of it in AC: Unity and even then i thought it was cool, imagining how much better it must look IRL.

That‘s my attitude as well, might be because both of the cities I consider my home towns have been almost completely destroyed in WWII.

I’ve never punched anyone and even gotten in a fight in my 40 years on this planet.  But here I am, eating in my favorite Indian joint where I see a guy and his family enjoying the delicious tandoori chicken.  As I walk by I see he’s wearing a shirt that says “Trump 2020, Make liberals cry again.”  It was at this point that had to tell myself not to lay hands on him.  I was actually considering the consequences!

I don’t know what came over me. Whatever it is, it’s not good.  Has anyone else had this reaction to a trump supporter IRL?

Let’s get back to the real stuff, laughing at these idiots.

Kind of surprising to hear he was at an Indian restaurant.

They really do have a cartoon understanding of people they disagree with.

[Lonewulfeus]

I'm pretty sure that someone in the kitchen would have seen his t shirt and added a little "special sauce"

So he can claim self defense when he beats your ass? And what does this accomplish?

I getcha. Saw a dude with a Confederate flag on at the grocery store right after election day 2016 and had about the same reaction.

The Roman Empire didn't exist until 900 years ago. Pretty sure the natives knew they existed. Flat-earthers most likely weren't an actual thing in the European middle ages.

Hopefully Disney will pay tribute to Notre-Dame in the next Kingdom Heart game, insuring the cathedral’s legacy for years  to come

Casual sexism and homophobia is basically the price you have to pay for showing any interest in Japanese media.

It's tiresome, but most people seem not to care (we still get daily posts gushing about Persona 5, which is downright hateful trash).

This is why I dont exactly care anymore about getting perpetually angry about casual homophobia and sexism in Japan.
