Sometimes I rattle the cage and beat my head uselessly against its bars, but sometimes, I can shake one loose and use it as a dildo.

Discordia has a place because it is retro, instant hipster cred.
It's not trolling, it's just satire.

We're not just here to poke holes in the pervasive false realities just to be asshats.  There is a mission statement behind it, though it may be a bit nebulous between members. 

Thanks, this is definately a satisfactory answer.
Making you think you're crazy is a billion dollar industry.
If they could sell sanity in a bottle
They'd be charging for compressed air,
And marketing healthcare.

Ok so I'm new to Discordia, but I'd like a few grizzled vet's views on something I have not been able to reconcile.

Where does Discordia fit in today's internet/world?

We're the Jiminy Cockroach of the internet/world.  We can't change people, but we can holler and yell and advise and lead by example, to try to help them change themselves.

And, looking around, they'd better.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."
