within this context that is all the relevance they have...

for whatever cultural reasons, triangles are popular in graphic design at the moment

Wassily Kandinsky - Utopian/Communist Thinker/Artist
and the Russian Constructivists/Suprematists and the Bauhaus school/DeStijl school

Had outlined a "NEW" meaning for all of these sort of basic geometric shapes and colors...

Specifically in Kandinskys manifesto..."Concerning the Spiritual in Art"
which I find to be a bit rigid in defining things but interesting nonetheless
because people working within those schools of thought were adhereing...

to Kandinsky - Black represents the soul...
so when you see black in a Kandinsky painting you know...

Image

But that's where we get things like "Red Square" the famous meeting block in Russia
Image

Malivich Black and Red square...
Image

and the Architectural masterpiece...Monument to the Third International by Vladimir Tatlin
which was a spiraling right triangle to represent the "upward and forward motion of the people"
It was basically a building that moved like a clock...

Image
Image

They believed that the designer and the craft person...much like the intellectual and the commoner
Needed to be united because their skill sets - when applied with an understanding of each other...
was necessary to achieve utopia - communist utopia

The color red was commonly found in religious icons - and they loved the color but hated the religious implications
so they applied the red to geometries

ImageImage

These religious paintings were most often placed in the top corner of a room where the walls and the ceiling intersect to represent the trinity...

ImageImage

...the artist of the time replaced the religion - with abstractions and materials that represent the inspired craftsmen...
the move towards...Iconic Geometries

Image

but what I'm trying to get at...is that with those guys...the triangle represented a mass in motion

Geometries have all sorts of meanings through time and with different peoples.

The same (non human) powers seen most iconically connected with the Egyptian Dynasty are still here, influencing (not controlling) Earths affairs. That is a fact. They chose that symbol. Until they are... delt with... (by also non human sources) the symbol & their influence will persist.

Put it this way... Whenever you see something involving Spiritism or the Occult you'll see Trangles / Pyramids & death respresnted. On everything. Same visuals for thousands of years.

Illuminadi aren't what you think, but they do exist, and it's not for our benefit, and humans can't stop them.

LOL this shit is so stupid. People need to stop caring so much, your wasting valuable time.

Also triangles really aren't cool anymore, but probably as it was Mt eden and Bassnecter their a good two years out on the cool scene.

It means whatever the person that drew it intended it to mean.

Give me dollars when I'm hard up, religion when I die."

Here's an easy to digest example

Image

1) Bloke
2) Plastic piece of shit
3) Audience

People who enjoy ventriloquist acts KNOW that shit ain't real. What's the missing component then? What is it that allows the guy to start talking abd be listened to/sell his thoughts? You can't say gullibility. It's actual the willingness to recieve; the readiness to become a part of the group. Again symbols are used not to trick people (3- audience) , but just to gently encourage them in the right direction towards accepting the aims of 1) Bloke
