We must protect and uphold our beautiful arches! They must not be replaced with square frames, which are boring! And also degenerate or something!

And this blog totally isn't just being held by me for the sake of keeping a reactionary from holding this URL! That couldn't be me!

Uphold the tradition of arches, which are round, and are therefore friend-shaped! Friend-shaped arches are cool and good, and should be conserved!

If you do not cry in near-patriotic reverence every time you see an arch, you are stinky and I do not like nor trust you!

Monarchs, oligarchs, matriarchs, patriarchs. Why can't we just have a regular arch

Arch! Round! Conservation of Arches and Roundness! Truly a Shining Example of Arch-Conservatism!

THE ARCH CONSERVATIVE MANIFESTO

AS ARCH CONSERVATIVES, WE HOLD THE FOLLOWING TO BE TRUE:

ARCHES ARE HELLA RAD!

FOOT FETISHES ARE WEIRD. NOT THOSE ARCHES!

THE ARCHES WE CARE ABOUT MUST BE PROTECTED FROM PEOPLE WHO WOULD REPLACE THEM WITH 90 DEGREE ANGLES!

THE ARCH, THROUGHOUT HISTORY, HAS BEEN INCREMENTALLY, QUINTESSENTIALLY THE DEFINING MARK OF ARCHITECTURE. THAT IS WHY ARCHITECTURE HAS “ARCH” IN IT! THE WORLD WOULD BE BORING WITHOUT ARCHES BECAUSE ARCHES ARE ROUND AND ROUND IS GOOD.

AS ARCH CONSERVATIVES, WE HOLD THAT EVERYTHING MUST BE ROUND. ALL BUILDINGS MUST BE DOME-SHAPED TO ACHIEVE ULTIMATE ROUNDNESS, OR PREFERABLY MUST BE GIANT OPEN-AIR ARCHES TO SECURE ARCH PURITY.

JOIN THE ARCH REVOLUTION NOW! FOR ARCHES! FOR ARCHITECTURE! FOR ROUND!
