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.

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."
