Johnfloyd6675 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) The first one accidentally got lossily compressed on a flash drive and I lost the good version, so its grainy.

Zip Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Couple of questions... In the first picture why is there a Celtic Cross in the background, and Why use the EU Flag? You know both of those symbols are pretty much as collectivist as you can get right... In the second one what are the golf tee looking things supposed to be or represent?

KevinDW78 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 He's a "Christian Objectivist" Zip. You must have missed that yesterday because his thread discussing it was deleted by the mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensch Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 The graphics are not really well done. They seem to be arbitrary collages without a consistent underlying philosophy. I would not call them romantic realism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 He's a "Christian Objectivist" Zip. Um, okay... One question though.... How the fuck is that supposed to work? Christian Objectivist? Seriously? You might as well call yourself a Laissez Faire Communist. Someone missed the part where A is A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensch Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 You might as well call yourself a Laissez Faire Communist. That's a good one. The posters look a little like the old communist propaganda actually: Forward we go to reach failure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KendallJ Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 How the fuck is that supposed to work? Christian Objectivist? Seriously? Yeah, well you can see just how much sense he made here. rationalistic drivel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) 'Objectivistic'? Oh, and those images suck. Edit: Wow. Just read that thread. Proof right there as to why individuals like Kelley (etc.) who claim Objectivism is an open system, are evil. You end up with faith-junkies like Johnfloyd declaring they're advocates of Objectivism, the philosophy of Reason.

exaltron Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well nail me to a cross and call me jesus, if that don't beat all.. A christian objectivist, just when you think you've seen it all. Ahem, if you clicked here looking for something other than massive epistemological FAIL, might I suggest the vastly more viable graphics of The Society for the Resurrection of Capitalism, created by Upton Ethelbah. Reason, Reality, Dollar signs, a phoenix rising from the flames.. Note the conspicuous lack of any sacrificial symbolism.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IchorFigure Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Is that some kind of liberty Fonzie? Lame troll is lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Mac Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Fonzie! Ha ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exaltron Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Is that some kind of liberty Fonzie? Lame troll is lame. Yeah, I'm fonzie because I'm wearing a leather jacket. ha, ha, how terribly clever. If you even looked beyond my avatar you would see I have 164 posts and have been active here for several years, which last time I checked, ≠troll. If you're going to recycle lame internet cliches like "lame troll is lame", you might want to inquire into their meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 In the second one what are the golf tee looking things supposed to be or represent? Looks like cuneiform (used by the ancient Mesopotamians) to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena glaukopis Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Yeah, I'm fonzie because I'm wearing a leather jacket. ha, ha, how terribly clever. I'm pretty sure he was referring to the second image posted by the OP, with the guy in the leather jacket and all the random cuneiform.

Oooohhh. Heh, I thought that was a little random for him to be attacking me, and that does make slightly more sense, being that the OP's dude has the full on fonzie garb happening. Sorry IchorFigure, exaltron is very sensitive (and apparently somewhat paranoid) about his leather jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was nothing against you (or leather jackets, or fonzie for that matter). It's just a very goofy and random juxtaposition of images, in a very goofy and random topic. And yeah, according to this website it's the cuneiform for liberty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils_Advocate Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I think they are Gabriel's Horns calling us to The Lord's glory. It's a Capitalist symbol, though it's predominantly used by Anarcho-Capitalists. It's pronounced Ama-gi, and it's sumerian cuneiform. It's the first time the word "Freedom" was used, the first time the concept was set down in writing. From wikipedia: Ama-gi The ama-gi is an ancient Sumerian cuneiform word meaning "freedom" or "liberty," the first known usage of the concept in writing. The Ama-gi, while sometimes used as a symbol by anarcho-capitalists, is also used by those who favor more moderate ideologies.[16] Ama-gi literally means "return to the mother," i.e. freed.[17] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
