Wilhelm the Demented Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 [quote name='SpacingOutMan' timestamp='1318596572' post='2824817'] Ffs, propaganda thread. Take your mindless bickering and bantering elsewhere... even though the overall "quality" of propaganda in this thread is pretty awful (with notable exceptions, of course). [/quote] It's an expressivist venture in to ironic art, man. It's not about quality, man, it's about the [i]message[/i], yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.

Avery du Troiseau Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 [quote name='Mergerberger II' timestamp='1318520262' post='2824110'] I wouldn't really say the fight is very fair at all. Considering that Tetris and allies have more overall score/NS/members/stuff, and are being aided by allies and allies of allies and allies of allies of allies, and Legion is doing it on their own, I'd say that on paper it favors Tetris. [/quote] Now, now, Merger. No disseminating misleading information. Tet's allies are getting aid through direct treaties. Its legit broski. Legion's getting her aid. Tet's getting it's aid. Everybody is propping this war up. You guys because if Legion falls you have no meat shield, us because... lets face it. If Legion eats it, there's going to be lulz all over.

[/quote] I'll reiterate what Random said: I don't think you understand how propaganda works... Propaganda is/can be (and is often) filled with many, many, many logical fallacies and inconsistencies. History is full of non-factual propaganda that proved to be extremely effective. Edited October 15, 2011 by SpacingOutMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRena Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Yes, it's General Grievous stabbing Shaak Ti which is apparantly regarded as non-canon but Shaak Ti is a member of the Jedi Council so the point is still void. I don't know anything about Star Wars, I just thought I'd help and research this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Smurf Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) ...Okay I've never seen star wars. I just searched for "red light saber death" on google and got that image. But take the image for the image itself, its a guy in a hood dying by his own (well a red) lightsaber. Its in retaliation to the image above it of a guy in a hood holding a red light saber. Its symbolic of NSO throwing themselves under the bus with all the !@#$ talking they did then losing this war [size="1"]Yes I made all this symbolism up after posting the image.. Go away.[/size] Edited October 17, 2011 by Unknown Smurf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
