       Setting aside the indescribable inferiority of Western air
       conditioners as covered here:
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/issues/decolonized-housing-(america-edition)/msg14085/#msg14085
       even an earlier Western cooling device suffices to exhibit
       Western inferiority:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)#Steam
       --- Quote ---
       > In 1849 a 6m radius steam-driven fan, designed by William
       Brunton, was made operational in the Gelly Gaer Colliery of
       South Wales. The model was exhibited at the Great Exhibition of
       1851. Also in 1851 David Boswell Reid, a Scottish doctor,
       installed four steam-powered fans in the ceiling of St George's
       Hospital in Liverpool, so that the pressure produced by the fans
       would force the incoming air upward and through vents in the
       ceiling.[6][7] Improvements in the technology were made by James
       Nasmyth, Frenchman Theophile Guibal and J. R. Waddle.[8]
       --- End Quote ---
       You cannot make this **** up. A fan driven by steam. Yes, steam
       (ie. boiling water, boiled by burning fuel). That is how much
       total heat they are actually adding to the system just to
       transfer some ordered motion to a small stream of air (that
       energy also ending up as heat after a while). Only Westerners
       could ever invent something so inferior. Imagine how much cooler
       the place would be just from *gasp* not boiling that water!
       Subsequently:
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)#Electrical
       which is not much better since the energy required to spin the
       blades at the same pace as the steam fan still has to come from
       a generator burning fuel elsewhere, thus still adding total
       heat.....
       --- Quote ---
       > In 1882, Philip Diehl developed the world's first electric
       ceiling fan. During this intense period of innovation, fans
       powered by alcohol, oil, or kerosene were common around the turn
       of the 20th century.
       --- End Quote ---
       Again, imagine how much cooler the place would be just by not
       burning that fuel.....

       be just by Western civilization never existing.....

       Enemy article:

       --- Quote ---
       > Between 1880 and 1914, over six million Europeans immigrated
       to Argentina, largely from Italy, Spain, France, Germany and
       Britain. The European immigration wave also correlated with
       Argentina becoming the 10th wealthiest nation in the world per
       capita by 1913, having surpassed the US’s GDP per capita in
       1896. This influx also contributed to the largely Italian, but
       also pan-European culture, which is still evident in the nation
       today, from the Spanish language, the Tango dancing, the heavily
       meat-based cuisine, the majestic Buenos Aires architecture,
       including majestic buildings like the Teatro Colon

       Comparing with pre-colonial Argentinian architecture:

       the slum block at least shows some geometrical resemblance to
       the pre-colonial style. If we look at another block with less
       vertical construction, the resemblance is even greater:

       The same cannot be said of the colonial architecture, which is
       entirely Western. It is therefore clear who is Argentinian and
       who is not.

       Brief reminder that demolishing buildings on its own is not an
       effective way to end Western architecture:
  HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asC2qc5RVDM
       The bloodlines which built them the first time can easily build
       them again. Only by eliminating the bloodlines first can we
       ensure the buildings do not come back after being demolished.

       --- End Quote ---
       another benefit to hanging laundry outdoors to dry, which I
       forgot to mention last time, is that it considerably cools the
       air in the vicinity from evaporation of the water absorbing
       ambient heat! This effect is especially beneficial during
       summer.
       But of course Westerners would rather dry using a tumble drier
       and cool using an air conditioner, both of which actually
       generate additional heat. This is how inferior Western
       civilization is.
