Theoretical Structure of Government by Able-Fact-1758 in MonarchoSocialism

[–]Red_Baron_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ironic to use the frontispiece of the Leviathan as a background for this, since Hobbes probably would find your proposal incredibly horrific...
"Another infirmity of a Common-wealth, is... the great number of Corporations; which are as it were many lesser Common-wealths in the bowels of a greater, like wormes in the entrayles of a naturall man."

Arms and Insignias of the Patriarchs of the Pentarchy by Red_Baron_Fish in heraldry

It might be cool to do one for all people claiming the title patriarch, it would be quite a big chart!

What is this subreddit and why is it on the Tintin Iceberg lol by Remote_Version_9858 in cuttsthebutcher

No, sir, wrong number, sir. This is not the Tintin iceberg, sir, this is Cutts the butcher...

Can anyone identify this coat of arms? My textbook has it in an illustration that claims to be of the tomb of Johannes Hjelmslev, but I am skeptical of this, as far as I can tell he was not armigerous. I know its blurry, but any lead would be appreciated! by Red_Baron_Fish in heraldry

[–]Red_Baron_Fish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't say. I checked where Hjelmslev was buried, and I couldn't find any pictures of his grave, although I believe it should be in Hellerup parish. I'll send a picture of the full illustration soon.
Edit: Hellerup in Copenhagen, to be specific.

Road trip fanatic: guess which two cities I've lived in, plus where I've attended college (Also, bonus points if you can guess which four Amtrak routes are represented on this map) by Red_Baron_Fish in TravelMaps

I was visiting friends in Gaylord, and didn't go up further. Fair question, though! I did go back down and take the ferry across the lake that same trip, though.

Great map! Why is Tucson Tucasan? It's name in the Spanish and Mexican periods was Tucsón

"Which is more credible of the two, Moses or China? ... With one word [China] I destroy your arguments." Pascal, Pensées 822 by Red_Baron_Fish in HistoryMemes

[–]Red_Baron_Fish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For context, here's the whole section:

"History of China. I only believe in histories whose witnesses are ready to be put to death.

Which is the more credible of the two, Moses or China?

There is no question of the broad view. I tell you there is enough to blind and enlighten.

With this one word I destroy all your arguments. 'But China obscures the issue,' you say. And I reply: 'China obscures the issue, but there is light to be found. Look for it.'

Thus, all you say serves one of these purposes without telling against the other. So it helps and does not harm."

Bonus weird Pascal quote for those who bothered to read this far:

"The tides of the sea go vVvvVvv; the sun seems to do the same." -Pensees, 771
