We've got artists, scientists, scholars, pranksters, publishers, songwriters, and political activists.  We've subjected Discordia to scrutiny, torn it apart, and put it back together. We've written songs about it, we've got a stack of essays, and, to refer back to your quote above, we criticize the hell out of each other.

Art is kind of like trolling, really.

I'm actually not entirely clear, anymore, on the difference between art and trolling.

Trolling is art, sometimes. And sometimes art is trolling.

Trolling is an art dependent on either people thinking you're not performing.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

So, if people know you're trolling, you're not trolling, but it's still art?


I am not "full of hate" as if I were some passive container. I am a generator of hate, and my rage is a renewable resource, like sunshine.

If they know you're trolling, they can disregard you, or it becomes improv if they play along.

It's art when the people you're trolling go all caps & no punctuation.

It's good art when you get death threats.

It's art when they say they'll pay you for trolling. If they actually pay you, it's no longer art.
