MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

I enjoyed reading the OP & responses to this thread!  The concept of 'Stockholm Syndrome' is very interesting to me.  I've thought of this phenomenon more & more in recent times.  Fr'instance its relationship to the global financial imbroglio.  We've seen various supposedly sovereign Countries & Governments held captive by the global financial sector.  Seemingly unaware of their kidnapped state, they bail out the same sector with no strings attached.  Ensuring the same scenario to be played out again - the only question is when?  Mussolini said "Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate & government power."  It's not really fascism though because the various Governments are clearly submissive to the financial sector.
Fuck the status quo!

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure & the intelligent are full of doubt.
