TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

So the US bends over backwards to prove that its Israel's best friend in the whole world while, at the same time, never fails to howl about how shamefully Islamic countries treat their women.

I'm going to give it a  :horrormirth: :horrormirth: :horrormirth: out of 5.

Israel isn't our friend.  It's more like an abusive spouse.  Demands everything, gives NOTHING.

I despise Israel and our support of it. It's shameful and was shameful from inception. Of course, everything the West has done in Africa and the Middle East for centuries has been shameful.

And Asia.  Mark Twain had something to say about the vile behavior of our "Missionaries" during the Boxer Rebellion in China.

Yeah, actually, come to think of it, everything the West has done everywhere has been pretty fucking nightmarishly awful. I think maybe Christianity is defective.

There is no spot on Earth that we haven't marched across, on a road of bones that we painstakingly manufactured.

I don't think it's anything most other nations wouldn't have done, at the same time.  If China's 12th century industrial revolution had taken off, we'd be sitting around today complaining about how fucked in the head Mongols were.  And so on and so forth.

Twain's essay (above) goes into that in great detail.

This! Raping neighbouring nations is how it works. This might be counter to what morality tells us but morality never built any empires.

I don't know... I've wondered about it, but I really just have no idea what to make of it. Of course, I haven't read Jared Diamond yet, so who knows, maybe he does a perfectly good job of explaining it.
