The flagship aesthetic of @UrbanMaoism is "Universal Empire", which is a first attempt at finding a modern expression for the aesthetic of [[Mongol Modernity]]. The term [[wikipedia:Universal_monarchy|"Universal Empire"]] is a general reference to the premodern land empires whose sovereigns claimed hegemony over what their people considered the whole of the world. At it's most simplest the aesthetic can be summed up as a fusion of [[Socialist Realism]] and Vorticism.

Definition of the Institute d'AuGirLis as an "organisation" should be taken as humorous in nature, though this type of exaggeration is consistent with the Infrared Community's ongoing campaign of trolling credentialists by expropriating PhDs through debate or LARPing as self-serious suborganisations of Infrared. | |||
