I wonder what the (great) artist's intention was when he pronounced the nose so much? Is it a clever social commentary? Interpret plz.

I was trying to avoid anti-Semitic posters.

 

What's to interpret? Most caricatures exaggerate the subject's most prominent facial features. That one pokes fun at the Semitic nose.

Read book "On ugliness" by Umberto Eco. Imagine enemies as ugly and degenerative is typical European behavior.

Profanes can't understand art.

 

What marvellous humility, to identify yourself as among the profane without even the egotism of words! And what stupendous self-mortification, to do it over and over again...

Lybia wasn't invaded though. We provided air support to a protracted civil war,

 

 

Let me fix that for you:

We saw opportunity, much like muslim militants everywhere did with the Arab spring. We could help instate a friendly democratic government in place of Ghaddafi. and we made lemonade in the proverbial sense, with air support and special forces ground spotters. That's not an invasion.

 

Also, don't do that. People who haven't read the thread will think I actually wrote that.

Uhm, no. You killed innocent civilians, wrecked yet another country's infrastructure, instigated the murder of its head of state (regardless of who or what else he was) and installed a puppet government to gain a hold over its considerable oil reserves, amongst other things.

 

No one with an above room temperature IQ is fooled.

Don't get me wrong, I would have prefered an invasion. Get the job done instead of dragging it out forever. That was the real cost in lives, not having the political will to put NATO forces in harms way.

Since there isn't really a good spot for it..

I think a brilliant way to subtly undermine democracy and usher in a bright new dawn of Communist ideological hegemony is to spam an obscure corner of the internet with childish propaganda pieces scribbled by artists with a jackboot fetish. Wish I'd thought of it first.

Posting real Fine Art in a "fine art" thread. OH SNAP Anyone notice a difference between Russian fine art (the second and third images,) and Russian propaganda?

A video game company's forum with a user who never posts about video games. It's a brilliant coup.
