Wall against walls

Post by jesus3 »

Sorry to disappoint you, I'm not here to rant on the usage of walls in AOE3.

Instead, I've discovered quite the original and imo awesome gesture, from Berlin to the Donald :flowers:

That wall would make an excellent miniature Trump Tower. :hehe:

Berlin from space
It's pretty insane how we're still noticing the effects of the Berlin wall more than 20 years after its fall. Semi-fun fact: Germany is the only country in Europe that would be richer without its capital. Imagine the effect a border wall spanning thousands of miles would have on the North-American continent.

Hmm unless Trump closes the entire southern border, the wall’s effect will likely be minimal besides being costly to taxpayers. A large number of illegal immigrants (many of whom aren’t even from Latin America) just fly in as tourists and overstay their visas.

Well, some parts are being built as we speak, but I sure hope it doesn’t get completed.

This is just cheap virtue signalling. Mexico and the USA were not part of the same country like the GDR and West Germany were before WW2. Focusing on walls as a symbol for anything and everything is just brainless.
What gave a particular wall its meaning was its particular historical context.

The Romans built Hadrian's Wall to mark the northern limit of their empire. Does this mean Scotland shouldn't try to gain independence because hurr durr, that would involve restoring the symbolical Hadrian's wall between Scotland and England again? It's the same with this brainless literality.

On a related note, though, how much does a piece of the Berlin wall cost? Especially one that big? One of my college professors showed me a piece he had of it, but it was fairly small.
