Thirty-nine years ago the article Why I Am Not an Anarchist was written. From my perspective the quality of life for most people has not improved since that time. Of course I was young then and things were likely worse than I was aware. One thing I have noticed is that an activist is hard to find. There is no shortage of talkavists. I have had such a feeling of deja vu watching and listening to the same conversation/debate/pre-planning session unfold in the same manner with roles performed by people dressed the same, groomed the same - Occupy has been like time travel. Here is a piece I wrote on the topic about two years ago. Enjoy!
Bring It!
Let me see if I have this straight; there are Socialists, Communists, Anarchists, Cascadians, Radicals and activists. Each of these, dare I say, larger groups serves as a branch of the family tree supporting a plethora of smaller branches, twigs and splinter groups we know and love as the Left.
I present this analogy; every discussion of the specific nature of the new paradigm--every steering committee decision--all the long-term goal setting--all the noble visions of the future are like deciding if we envision Black Walnut ice cream or French Vanilla. Turns out someone should milk the cow.
Does anyone need a lesson on what it means to be condescending? Pretentious? Elitist? Have you ever felt that someone was talking down to you?
(Example) "If you don't understand try using a dictionary!"
Less is more.
If the people rise up in any way and force the wealthiest folk and their corporations and their bought and paid for federal government to be held accountable for their actions--then we will all be in this together--all of us; the police, the social workers, the priests, the thespians, the sociopaths and the psychopaths, the kind and the mean.
We can be movers and shakers. We can hasten the changes our culture needs to make to assure that future generations do not live their lives as slaves. However, we, like Moses, are not destined to see the Promised Land. I have been hanging out with Leftists my entire life and I clearly count myself among their numbers, but our collected influence is less than marginal. What are we arguing about, really? Lofty and heart felt ideals, the power of the truth, abundant facts--yet here we are. Foil hat wearing conspiracy thinkers, wackos, nut jobs and bandanna wearing bomb-throwing crazies. Sounds like a party, will there be dancing?
How American is it to walk softly but carry a big stick? The left need not educate the people. We do not believe as the D's & R's that tolerance and acceptance equal approval and a mandate from the people. The system is wide spread and thus stretched thin. We as individuals can all agree--"Out with the old!" and then well,...come what may. Everyone is aware of the corruption, the greed, the nepotism, cronyism, blatant theft and bald faced lying that is and has been at the heart of the American Empire.

Approximately 1900 years ago the article St. John's Apocalypse, or What You See While Tripping Balls When Opposing the Emperor for Jesus was written. From my perspective the quality of life for most people has not improved since that time. Of course I wasn't even close to being born then and things were likely worse than I was aware.

We can be movers and shakers. We can hasten the changes our cultus needs to make to assure that future generations do not live their lives as slaves.

I have been hanging out with Christians my entire post and I clearly count myself among their numbers, but our collected influence is less than original. What are we arguing about, really? No, really, I kinda lost the plot. Lofty and heart felt ideals, the power of the love is a curious thing, makes a one man weep, and another man sing--yet every rose has its thorn.

Joke's on the rental agency, it went out of business centuries ago.
Jack signed the papers. Speedy Jack's Starship Rental was now out of business. It was a sad day to be sure, especially after Jack's father, Jack Sr. put so much energy into starting up the rental agency. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it takes a starship a long time to be returned. Time dilation and all. The lot was almost always empty, except when Jack was able to scrape enough together to buy another starship he would probably never see again. For all he knew, the skies were littered with broken Speedy Jack's starships, perhaps due to colliding with micrometeorites at .99c, perhaps they were intercepted. Perhaps there was no reason to get back to Earth.
The divorce settlement didn't help much either. Speedy Jane blasted off with a newer model, a warp engineer to boot. There was no future in sublight ship rentals. It was a good thing that Jack Sr never lived to see this day.
There was only one last thing to do.
Jack got onto the last starship on the lot and fired it up. He took one last look at the photo of him and the kids.
From an observer on Earth, the trip took a little over 8 minutes, but 8 minutes is but a brief moment at relativistic speeds.
Solar flare activity was reported that day, which was odd, as the Sun was at solar minimum.
Twid wins the thread.

I'm gonna say that I was the same way, back when I got started on this board in 2002/2003.

Thank-you all for reading my article, your feedback has been duly noted.
Keen insight, it is indeed true the article has no point. Just as a point is a location in space, without space there can be no point. This article was intended to create space - others have made points. Point one, not everyone agrees that we live in an increasingly Orwellian hellscape, that the quality of life for most people is deteriorating - okay. Point two the experiences in my life, hanging around with Leftists, for example, can be deemed "the problem"- thanks for that tidbit. Point three, quite a robust use of the quote function. Also, Rev. Stupid has a ring to it, a kindergarten ring but a ring none the less. (I may someday find the need to hide behind a pseudonym, if so, I will pick up the moniker. It is more accessible than Stucifer.)
Context may help Discordians get the non-existent point. The piece was originally a sermon delivered in my church. (Perhaps read it out loud with feeling.) Afterwards we discussed emergent religion and the nature of the Left. Think Monty Python's Life of Brian.- The People's front of Judea not the Judean People's Front - Follow the shoe, no follow the gourd.
The second use of Bring It was in print, with other self-serving pontification (propaganda) and dark humor, it was distributed on Mayday to members of various cliques.

I don't think we're being quite fair. He seems to have some misguided ideas as to what we're all about.
Though I am more than likely to be horribly disappointed with how all of this will go, I should probably say the following:
Rev Stu, would you like to know why things aren't going well?
Good Reverend Roger- my initial response was - do we have enough time and energy to adequately address "what is not going well?" however my next response was that "going well" vs. "not going well" is a perception and a manifestation of an individual's relationship to reality.
I am now reminded of Ken Kesey, to paraphrase, we are working on a lot of levels here.
I accept Carl Jung's view that for humans to be sane balanced and productive they need exhibit three realms: the physical, body; the mental, consciousness and the spiritual, soul. These need be integrated, reified and ritually purified for the individual to reach their potential and to empower their soul.
Ultimately - hell yes I want you to tell me why things aren't going well!!!
(You're opinion matters, your wise.) :roll:

For you, dumbass. He was asking if you wanted to know why you're being treated in the same way people treat their shoe after stepping in something. You either didn't understand that or chose to misinterpret him. Both of these have similar results in which you appear to be a blithering cretin so your intention is somewhat moot.

I count six realms. You and Jung are liars.

I don't suppose you're a member of the Cacophony Society, or perhaps involved in the local Burner community, are you? Have I seen you at Woozday? Friend of Rich Mackin? Something is ringing a bell, though it could just be you being pretentious in my neighborhood.

Work on that. It's a shame you won't succeed as you seem to have equated interesting and intelligent with tedious.

Good Reverend Roger, you were neither "trying" as was AFN nor did you put in any real effort. It is no wonder Discordians do not have a reputation at-large and that within esoteric circles your rep... you're reputation is as a clique of aging fucks with receding hair-lines and diminishing relevance. The problem is theological.
Note the correction to my grammar in my original post - I was indeed a dumb ass. However, I recognized and corrected the mistake, something "The Decider" -George-the-Lesser would never do. (My father personally fished George the Greater out of the S.Pacific, though a life-long Republican he did say before he passed that he "wished he had thrown the bastard back.")
So, why aren't things going well? If you are the Good Reverend referred to in the Spider Rants, then enough said. The material sounds as if it were recorded in a college dorm room by old dudes whose presence there is just creepy.

SWEET MERCIFUL FUCK, HE'S ATTACKING OUR REP IN ESOTERIC CIRCLES.
AND OUR RELEVANCE.
'tis the end times.
He could HEAR how creeped out the college students were by your presence in the dorm room.
Were those recorded by Roger or is Stu the kind of asshole to come in attacking strangers who have no stake in the conversation?
Of course, this is also the guy who has at least twice now informed people on this board that his student Jamil Myrick was shot to death on the corner of 15th and Alberta. Interesting that a tragedy that was so close to his heart and left such a mark didn't also imprint the correct location of the murder.
You're up to 264 posts now, Stu. What's that, an average of 58 posts a day? You must not get out much. :lol:
You can't expect people to accurately recall details about things apparently important to them.
It's fucking RWHN again, isn't it? He's cunningly swapped puns for whatever this is.

Oh, dear? I'm getting old? Oh, shit, why did nobody tell me?
And relevant? I don't want to be relevant. I am on a board with some like-minded friends. Where the fuck are YOU?
I don't want to disappoint the All-Father, and this is more than an excuse to mention "my" site again :lulz: www.theecod.org

Assuming that a post takes one minute, that means that Nigel would have been posting non-stop for 388 days, assuming she neither sleeps nor eats.

Still, it took a special kind of moron to follow the Dead. You needed to not care about personal hygiene, grinding poverty, sucking dick for concert tickets and/or acid, and spending a LOT of time in parking lots while people with jobs went to go get their nostalgia on watching old hippies do the same shit they'd been doing since the fucking middle ages.

I mean, aside from the hairline, I could also probably be a fat hippie with a beard and a guitar. I'm already 50% there.
As I recall, the Nigel/Roger Conglomerate Being spent the 80s selling deadheads hits of "acid" (packs of Newports cut into 1/4" squares) for $4 a pop. So you could say I/She/We "followed the Dead".

Still, it took a special kind of moron to follow the Dead. You needed to not care about personal hygiene, grinding poverty, sucking dick for concert tickets and/or acid, and spending a LOT of time in parking lots while people with jobs went to go get their nostalgia on watching old hippies do the same shit they'd been doing since the fucking middle ages.
I think you may have revealed the secret to Stu's special brand of obtuseness.

Speaking of which, one of the ZOMG DISCORDIANS placid dingo interviewed was Gavriel.
Which makes me plotz. Like this ---> :lol:
Which one is Gavriel?
He was the guy who kicked the door in demanding that we give him content so he could sell it and keep the money. He then melted down - as he did with Stang and Sis D - and told us all what ingrates we were.
Then he bailed. I think his thread is in bring & brag.
That rings a bell. Hang on a tick.
Found the thread, remembered the dude in question.
He just can't understand why he receives much the same treatment anywhere he goes. I think his conclusion was along the lines of "Nigel and Roger go around poisoning the well against me", despite the fact that the well was poisoned when I (and therefore Roger, by extension) got there.

Okay, I've got the essence of this guy. The real thing can leave and I'll just keep making these replacements.

I don't suppose you're a member of the Cacophony Society, or perhaps involved in the local Burner community, are you? Have I seen you at Woozday? Friend of Rich Mackin? Something is ringing a bell, though it could just be you being pretentious in my neighborhood.
Why had it never occurred to me before that you probably know Mackin?
I knew him when it was a Boston punk in the 90s.
This guy reminds me of those people who don't flush their dumps in a public rest room, because it gives them glee to know other people will be viewing their work.

Thirty-nine years ago the article Why I Am Not an Anarchist was written. From my perspective the quality of life for most people has not improved since that time. Of course I was young then and things were likely worse than I was aware. One thing I have noticed is that an activist is hard to find. There is no shortage of talkavists. I have had such a feeling of deja vu watching and listening to the same conversation/debate/pre-planning session unfold in the same manner with roles performed by people dressed the same, groomed the same - Occupy has been like time travel. Here is a piece I wrote on the topic about two years ago. Enjoy!
Bring It!
Let me see if I have this straight; there are Socialists, Communists, Anarchists, Cascadians, Radicals and activists. Each of these, dare I say, larger groups serves as a branch of the family tree supporting a plethora of smaller branches, twigs and splinter groups we know and love as the Left.
I present this analogy; every discussion of the specific nature of the new paradigm--every steering committee decision--all the long-term goal setting--all the noble visions of the future are like deciding if we envision Black Walnut ice cream or French Vanilla. Turns out someone should milk the cow.
Does anyone need a lesson on what it means to be condescending? Pretentious? Elitist? Have you ever felt that someone was talking down to you?
(Example) "If you don't understand try using a dictionary!"
Less is more.
If the people rise up in any way and force the wealthiest folk and their corporations and their bought and paid for federal government to be held accountable for their actions--then we will all be in this together--all of us; the police, the social workers, the priests, the thespians, the sociopaths and the psychopaths, the kind and the mean.
We can be movers and shakers. We can hasten the changes our culture needs to make to assure that future generations do not live their lives as slaves. However, we, like Moses, are not destined to see the Promised Land. I have been hanging out with Leftists my entire life and I clearly count myself among their numbers, but our collected influence is less than marginal. What are we arguing about, really? Lofty and heart felt ideals, the power of the truth, abundant facts--yet here we are. Foil hat wearing conspiracy thinkers, wackos, nut jobs and bandanna wearing bomb-throwing crazies. Sounds like a party, will there be dancing?
How American is it to walk softly but carry a big stick? The left need not educate the people. We do not believe as the D's & R's that tolerance and acceptance equal approval and a mandate from the people. The system is wide spread and thus stretched thin. We as individuals can all agree--"Out with the old!" and then well,...come what may. Everyone is aware of the corruption, the greed, the nepotism, cronyism, blatant theft and bald faced lying that is and has been at the heart of the American Empire. (Whoever said, "crime doesn't pay," was thinking small.)
They are who they are. We are who we are. No shame in our game. Bring it!
I haven't seen this much verbal diarrhea since I stopped grading high school students homework.

Hahaha why am I not surprised? It's a small, small world. He's a delightful creature.

If I didn't know better, I'd assume this was Zach fucking with us.
I should show him this thread, he might get ideas.

Well, I think he was running thin on options at that point. :lol: We should direct him to Stu so he can get a better cross-sampling of all the most relevant Discordians.

your work is impressive. They had to completely replace the sewage system at the CN Tower last time.

You'd be surprised, some of his Facebook alts are completely incomprehensible.
I think he'd do a better job of being interesting, though.
:notnice:
And I, of course, have made 26,000 more posts since yesterday! It's really something.
He doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to own up to his mistakes, I see.
