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.

This felt like it was saying all the things I've been hearing people on here say about TV.  The spiders, keeping people safe and warm feeling while they are rotting in a gray, hopeless world.
You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

huh.
i was waiting for a punchline, but then it just ended.
was it just sour grapes, or was there subtle irony that i just didn't feel when he mentions sitting and sneering at the end?
surely he doesn't think that we would be better off if people were fed bleak despair in their media?
surely he wasn't saying that it's ever been any different, other than the sheer quantity of media?
surely he doesn't think that people have no choice but to saturate themselves with poor media?

mebbee i'm just not getting the joke.

The sitting sneering definitely felt like a punchline to me.  A kind of a "All of this is fucked up and I don't really have an answer, look at this obviously false dichotomy" sort of thing.
