Disney donated at least $5mil to the rebuild (not making that up. It’s one of the first results when you search about this!!), so is anyone REALLY surprised that came with strings attached??

It’s almost exactly like Munger Hall/s. “I/we will give you the money, but you have to build/decorate it EXACTLY as we say…”

There’s been discussion since at least January last year (again, see the many, many articles on this) that various groups, including le Disney and various other “postmodernist” architects, were mounting somewhat of a “tug of war” over the direction of the restoration, so… Clearly Disney just had the deepest pockets. 😞

Sacrilege. Woke capitalism certainly isn’t above that. At all.

But hell, if they can’t stop this, in FRANCE, of all places, then… I guess the whole West is lost.

Jesus, that’s a hell of a blackpill, OP. After everything else the last couple of years, it really is… 😑
