TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

You say that now, but wait until you see her pontificating on ABC news about foreign policy, and being taken seriously.

This.  Meghan McCain was bad enough, and she at least seems to be vaguely intelligent.

Is it just me, or is America becoming more and more an aristocracy by the day?  Media, PR, politics, intelligence, corporations...all seem to be recruiting based more on blood ties than ability.

Do you recall the WOMP Cramulus made some months back...

Some egyptian sphinx on the background and a pyramid, and on the "front" and lower part of the image, riot police with "VOTE" stickers on their shields, and i dont remember what else...

Aristocracies have always existed and will exist, only the form they incarnate in is what changes.

And no, things "aren't better" from what it was 20,000 years ago from the class-struggle perspective; our only solace is technology making everyones life better.

No they haven't.  So please spare me the jaded cynicism on a subject you clearly haven't bothered to learn about.

You're so right, because 20,000 years ago the human race had a class system that is in any way recognizable or comparable to what we have now, and it's just as bad!  :lulz:

Hint:  Recorded history does not extend 20000 years into the past.

I messed up my timeline; from 2,600 B.C. on.

Call them  pharaohs, tyrants, emperors, kings, politicians or transnational companies.

A group of people, associated by different means, hoarding privileges.
