LDD Sermon 6: Going Viral

[LMNO]

I like "trained not to see the leash".

[Cain]

I like it too.  Reminds me of something from Revelation X's chapter of the CoN, which I have been reading recently.

I'm still thinking lyrics, but I've done a shitload of work over the past 2 days and my wrists are aching.

I like "trained not to see the leash".

I had grandiose ideas of writing an entire rant using the housepet metaphor, but it's just not coming.

Nah, I have people who do that for me.

Here kitty kitty
Lie down dog
you feel nothing
when you sleep like a log

Tied down
out in the cold
no use complaining
you're getting too old

You don't hear them laughing at you
roll over play dead in this invisible zoo
fattened up and served to the feast
you been trained not to see the leash

Lazy monkey
plugged into the lie
treading the mill
til the day you die

Bought and sold
commodity flesh
your future stolen
fed bullshit fresh

You don't see them cracking the whip
you see no chains think theres nothing to slip
no walls no fences no cry for release
you been trained not to see the leash

people will hate the idea of going viral, because we all despise the idea of defining discordianism. to have any success with this kind of thing you'll need recognizable icons and an encapsulated format for whatever it is you're trying to sell. even if it's only temporary or only an 'outer shell,' you're going to have to spend a lot of time preparing discordianism for easy marketing, and that means 2+3=5 and Fnord and all the shit that everybody loves to hate around here.

[Cain]

Troof, thats why I wanted to lay the groundwork via setting up more sites first.

[LHX]

we need to set up a advertising / marketing / public relations firm

or at least pretend to

or pretend to be pretending to


we are choking on our own skills in these forums

[DJRubberducky]

Lyrics, before they vanish from my head - only two verses and no chorus, but it's something to start with.  Apologies for any stylistic resemblance to Nine Inch Nails.  And if anyone chooses to run with this, the second verse is definitely the last one of the song.  I also think there needs to be another verse before the first one I came up with.

-----

They'll tell you that you've got free will, they'll say that you can choose
But it's only from the options they've already picked for you
Push the button, pull the trigger
See their empire getting bigger
And you'd destroy the things you love
If you pick "none of the above"

They'll train you from the cradle that we all want to belong
And sell you everything they claim is evil, sick and wrong
And just 'cause you don't see the leash
You'll think that you have been released
You'll think I freed you with this song
But even I'm still just a pawn

[LMNO]

I can see a KMFDM-type track to the above lyrics.

[DJRubberducky]

Fascinating.  I've not heard any of their stuff.  Maybe if I check some out, it'll inspire me for the rest of the words.

[Triple Zero]

try KMFDM "sucks", that track always cracks me up. also "a drug against war" or "torpedoes" (that one actually by MDFMK) and "D.I.Y" are some of my favourites.

[East Coast Hustle]

DIY is one of my favorite songs. also, Disobedience, Ikons, and Glory are good if you're looking for the whole "danceable and catchy yet underpinned with sociopolitical vitriol" vibe.

X-thread with mechanical alchemy rant. Anyone interested in stepping off the page with this and making a net broadcast or series of? Much easier to get a monkey to watch pretty moving pictures and listen to soothing voices than actually read something. Instead of producing a pamphlet we write a script.

Viral thing still applies - we accuse the makers of this film of all sorts of perverse and violent notions, subliminal messages invoking satan and all the rest. There's enough writers on this board already, all we need are some volunteer presenters and a video artist/animator or two.
