Dystopian Discordianism

[Placid Dingo]

In a dystopian world, one where free speech/thought is repressed.

WHAT if anything do the ideas/tools of Discordianism have to offer?

[Lies]

Discordianism wouldn't exist, so... nothing?

[Placid Dingo]

People still practice Falun Gong in China, and still practised that... um... the type of Christianity that they weren't allowed to in Romania.

Lets assume there are people who practised before we reached dystopia. So think 1984 I guess, as that was a comparable scenario, where not everyone had known only the present situation.

[Lies]

Well I suppose then if enough people read it, there would be some kind of underground resistance group trying to fight back and regain the freedoms we should all be entitled to.

Otherwise, those who have no groups, will just pretend to be a part of the system trying to throw spanners into the cogs of the machine.

I suppose.

Depends on how many survive a night of knifes,
Tactic really depends on the oppressor

The PD might be an underground book like Goldstein's book... though the jokes would either work very much for it, or completely against it.  Or might not affect it at all.  Did I cover all my bases?

I think that even in a high power security state, people are still going to take solace in absurdism.

Kopyleft is originally a Discordian tool, one that has a lot of utility in places where information is tightly controlled.

Nonsense as Salvation, the Turkey Curse...

the idea that after a long winter of Bureaucracy, there is hope of Aftermath

I really like everything in this post. And agree.
Of course, in a 1984-world, there wouldn't be much hope... Winston just taking a few seconds off his exercise routine was enough to alert the exercise overseer.

I have a feeling that trying to invoke the turkey curse would be punishable by death.
