Me too. I went there when I was 10 or 11, and as a child all I noticed was how incongruous it was with everything. I wasn't awed by it, and my parents seemed sort of put out with how I didn't care for it compared to my sisters.

I'd like to pretend that's some kind of deep political sentiment, but really I think it's just aesthetically displeasing if you don't have a thing for monuments

Adults get weird when the indoctrinating they and society put so much effort into doesn't take hold. So much so, that they find some mental illness like Autism to label the child with.

Did I studder? If kids don't respond the way adults want them to, they get labeled as being a Problem.

That makes more sense, I just didn't get why you mentioned autism in your first comment. Seems like an odd take to me.

Advertising/Propaganda doesn't work as well on people with Autism. I called it a mental illness because regardless of what flowery language society decides to use to describe neurodivergent people, they will treat them like pariahs.
