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.

Hm.  Valid points, all.

I suppose I was thinking more narrowly, as in, "If the leaders of Egypt, Tunisia, et al were such dictators, why were we supporting their regime?"

*points at our entire history as a nation*

Though to be fair, the first bit of our history was pretty isolationist and "exporting democracy" wasn't anything we were interested in. If Egypt had a dictator that was Egypt's problem. However, since WWI, we've made it pretty clear we will fucking anything if it gets us ahead somehow. Dictators, Revolutions, Patsies, Puppets and Bogymen... its all good if it's to the short term benefit of the US.

For real fun, look at our history between 1865 and 1918.
