Rev Roger, Year of the Rat #8: That Joke Isn't Funny, Anymore.

[Adios]

"Down there," he said, "are people who will follow any dragon, worship any god, ignore any iniquity.  All out of a kind of humdrum, everyday badness.  Not the really high, creative loathesomeness of the great sinners, but a sort of mass-produced darkness of the soul.  Sin, you might say, without a trace of originality.  They accept evil not because they say yes, but because they don't say no."

-Guards! Guards!

I agree with the initial post, although by the time I got to the third page I forgot what it was. Post successfully murdered. I would like to add that even though I do agree with you, I don't think you're an idiot to post something I agree with. Of course he's preaching to the choir; you don't go to parenting forums to talk about abortions.

Anyway, I think the power struggle really boils down to the fact that there are more people with guns in the government. I say do what you want as long as you are brave enough to stand up to the consequences. So the government is a huge corporation that can have you killed on a whim... you going to let that stop you?!

Protip: you can always go back and re-read previous posts before hitting "reply".

You know what the discordians need?

Myrmidons.

Those warriors that would go and do whatever, NQA. 

We could brainwash recruits from Gaia.

Of course not.  Because the "government" doesn't actually exist.

*was waiting for that*

Also, on the OP:  fuck me running, Rog, I wish you could broadcast this shit ship to shore.  NO ONE GETS IT out there, NO ONE.  I mean, they pay lipservice, but they don't even TRY to use what's left of this bullshit "democracy."  They don't think they can use it properly, or should expend the effort, so why bother even trying.  It reeks, it really really does.  They swallow, wholesale, every bullshit line about "freedom" and "protection" in the same breath.

Makes me ill.

And I go off, oh you bet I do.  I recently went off on a buncha drunk PTA moms, and all they did was teehee and murmur "well, there you go, you got Jenne started again!" and so I stfu.  *shrug*  Let the bitches simmer in their own juices then.

What the fuck do I care, anyway?

There's another rant in here somewhere. I'd write it, but I haven't had nearly enough experiences of this sort.

I think I rant so much IRL, that I have barely anything left for typing out.  Sad, but true.  But yes, I'm well known as foaming at the mouth at the very mention of politics, asshole legislators, and fucked up office personnel of said asshole legislators, who kick you out of the said asshole leg offices, kick you off their blessed schedules for said asshole legislators, and make lobbying hard in general.

Next time, beat them with a chair.

THAT might work...

Of course not.  Because the "government" doesn't actually exist.

HEY! the government is as real as the internet, or popular culture!

how dare you insult my intelligence!
i was trying to start a discussion about the usage of the word exist here, seems i failed. ah well +5xp for surviving.


to get back to an actual subject here: it depresses the crap out of me to see people that don't realize how much power they have, they give it all away. 


IF: you have a problem
THEN: solve it yourself

[Requia ☣]

Wait, somebody else agrees with me on the internet being a mass hallucination?

Dammit, now I need a different psuedo-profound crackpot idea that nobody takes seriously.

In all seriousness though, things that don't really exist except as mass hallucinations are the most powerful forces in human life.  Pre packages ideas, gods, the popular thing, laws, and whatever some pundit claims is the right thing to do, all stick in the minds of cabbages.

Religion is a powerful force, whether God exists or not, math is a set of rules we made up, but it lets us build skyscrapers, hell, the largest industry in the world is now the creation of software, and we build machines to do our hallucinating for us.
