Testimonial - Well it seems that most of you "discordians" are little more than dupes of the Cathedral/NWO memetic apparatus after all -- "freethinkers" in the sense that you are willing to think slightly outside the designated boxes of correct thought, but not free in the sense that you reject the existence of the boxes and seek their destruction.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - June 23, 2025, 10:35:21 PMI don't know what to make of this. If 'Merica is at war with Iran, and the world is on the verge of WWIII, I didn't see any evidence of it on Wall Street today.
For instance:
On the Commodities Market, Crude Oil actually dropped $ 6.42 per barrel, or -8.69%.
On the Commodities Market, Brent Crude Oil actually dropped $ 6.69 per barrel, also -8.69%.
On the Commodities Market, Gold dropped $ 1.70 per ounce, or -0.05%.
For bond interest rates, the numerous indexes of the stock markets of the world, etc., it looked to me like just another day at the office.
This is not what I expected to see at the end of the first day of trading immediately after the 'Merican sociopath-in-chief bombed a country having the capability to close the Strait of Hormuz.

Nuclear talks were due to continue next week, now they are impossible which is exactly what Isreal wants, to make all out war inevitable.
Trump will do whatever the last person that flattered him asks him to do.
I am utterly unsurprised by this.
However, we basically have three bad guys. Netanyahu, Kamieni, and Trump. I am sitting here with the world's biggest bowl of popcorn, utterly unconcerned with the various possible horrible knock-on effects.

The us needs a regime changeI amuse myself by calling the current administration "the Turd Reich." But, it's really not all that funny, because this administration really is a nascent fascist regime.
My hope is that the Resistance 2.0 will continue to grow, and that it will be influential enough on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026, to take away the Republicult's™ control of the U.S. House of Representatives. I am well aware of the difficulties involved in wrestling control of the U.S. House of Representatives away from this fascist regime. Nevertheless, it has to be done to save the republic.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - June 22, 2025, 03:58:59 AMUnfortunately, the sociopath-in-chief has chosen what I consider to be the greater of two evils.
I do not see this ending well for my country.

Love triangles are a bitch.So, it appears we won't be treated to the next episode of this particular reality TV show spin off for a couple of weeks. I'm uncertain if I should be relieved by the delay, or not.
It just goes to show that resolving a love triangle really is a bitch.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: Iran
Last post by Abbot Mythos - June 19, 2025, 04:12:10 AMIt occurred to me, at the time of this posting, that I'm watching a love triangle involving 'Merica's sociopath-in-chief, Russia's Vladimir Putin, and Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu. It appears the sociopath-in-chief is currently having a lover's quarrel with Putin, while also being in love with Netanyahu.
On the one hand, I suspect the sociopath-in-chief believes that if he can get credit for orchestrating a Russian-Ukrainian peace deal, he can win himself a Nobel Peace Prize, and get to build Trump Towers in Moscow and St. Petersburg. So, in the malignant narcissist's mind, that is an easy, low risk, ego stroking, double win out there for the taking.
On the other hand, if the sociopath backs Netanyahu, I suspect he's thinking he could bask in the glory of being a victorious, wartime president for the rest of his life, secure the eternal adulation of 'Merica's evangelicals, be outright deified by his shit-eating MAGAts, all the while profiting bigly off of 'Merica's vast military-industrial complex. So, being a chickenhawk, a malignant narcissist, and indescribably greedy, this option has to be extremely tempting. In fact, I don't doubt he's literally salivating over it.
Still, there are many very real, very significant risks involved with backing Netanyahu, if the plan were to go South. So, by comparison, backing Putin is a far, far safer bet. In addition, I'm sure Putin is calling the sociopath-in-chief several times a day, trying to sweet-talk the turd into backing him instead. After all, if Iran goes to war with anyone, Russia is guaranteed to lose access to all of the drones, ballistic missiles, ammunition, etc., that Iran is currently supplying to Putin's bogged down war effort.
So, what's the sociopath-in-chief to do? Love triangles are a bitch.

Techmology and Scientism / Scientific Proof of Republicul...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - June 18, 2025, 11:07:07 AMTo the surprise of absolutely no one, what we've always known to be true has been scientifically proven, according to the following study:
Study finds Republicans flagged for posting misleading tweets twice as often as Democrats on Community Notes
As per this study:
""Our findings provide strong evidence of a partisan asymmetry in misinformation sharing which cannot be attributed to political bias on the part of fact-checkers or academic researchers," said Professor Mohsen Mosleh, associate professor of social data science at the Oxford Internet Institute, part of the University of Oxford.
"Even on Elon Musk's X, the user-based Community Notes program flags posts by Republicans as misleading much more often than posts by Democrats. This undercuts the logic offered by Musk and Mark Zuckerberg for eliminating fact-checkers on X and Meta, respectively, namely that fact-checkers are biased against Republicans.""
Now, I want to find a scientific study about the average Republican Intelligence Quotient. I suspect the conclusions of such a study will be equally unsurprising.
