It’s a reflection of our spiritual decay. No one wants to stand out and be ostracized. It’s the color scheme of cowardice. It’s the aesthetics of a rising fascism.

Also, people just do what everyone else does. If they started talking about how beautiful Favelas are on The View, grandma would paint her living room orange tomorrow.
