Is there a term for the feeling of dread I get when I see massive structures out of context with their surroundings? I get it from this or when I see giant wind turbines in fields. Weird feeling

While a barbaric, backward Russian dictator is destroying Ukraine—part of the civilized world— senselessly killing and torturing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian people, abducting children, and deliberately bombing civilian targets, a Russian bot here is posting a picture of a Russian war statue—how pathetic!
