Insight Into Anarchy's Subtle Nuances. London. 2011.

[Epimetheus]

I'm already scribbling some prayers of the religion.
And Dok, I gotta apologize for not yet completing the best-burger Holy Quest. I have eaten several burger places, but none too great. I know I have to venture into wilder places to find the Grail of this quest. I just have yet to do that.

[East Coast Hustle]

You have Anarchy, then.

The absence of the rule of law.

Well I did begin the post by letting you know I am a little dense when it comes to nuances of language...


Possibly had you been a tad more verbose; I dunno...maybe even given one of your sentences a subjective clause or summat, providing context or reference points for the apparent use of the term "anarchy" as an epithet,  I may have been able to better discern the precise direction in which you were headed with that thought.

Instead  my callow interloper self, ill used to being bathed in the glory that  I'm sure is to be found in the myriad wisdoms of the good doktor, it was a little confusing.

I know brevity is the soul of wit and all, but you must admit, you don't give a stranger a lot to work with in terms of divining your precise meaning, oftentimes.

Just sayin'.



NB:I hope me Vindaloo isn't still disagreeing with you. Sorry if it is. I was told you liked a bit of spice.

Jesus Fuckwarbling Christ.

It helps if you become temporarily illiterate whenever you come to an Eartha-ly Delight post.  For srs, you can get on with your life, because there's just no point to talking to it.


I mean, I tried to read it, and after a second or two my brain just went "bzzzzzzzzt" and replaced the letters with squiggles that had no meaning to me.



In before a "LOL UR JUST TOO STUPID" post from ED.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

That one was nonsensical.

She's been ok at EBG. Well, except for the thing with Jenne...OH SNAP.

London was going to be cleared regardless.  Welfare to help with rent payments stops in London at the start of next year.  On top of other benefit cuts, 40,000 people are expected to be made homeless, with around double that number (at least) expected to move from London.

You don't need a riot to do that.  Oh, but I forgot, every world event is part of the nefarious conspiring of the powers that be, right?

As for the police being unable to stop the riots, the fact the police force was gutted by spending cuts (20% across the board) probably had nothing to do with that, right?  Not to mention the only "riots" police have faced in recent years is environmental activists, anemic University students and spineless liberals clutching their permits and worried about breaking the law.  They definitely cannot handle some of the kids from the rougher parts of London, and they've known that for years.  The thing is, now those kids also know it.

And what does the first link prove?  There had been protests that had turned violent from the 7th.  Sunday night.  Yeah, they knew something was up.  But they'd called in police from every other part of London to try and contain Tottenham.  Something to do with lacking manpower due to cuts in police funding.

Oh the poor police. So under equipped... with riot gear and horses to run down protesters. With water cannon and tazers and sharp shooters on roofs.

And the announcement this morning that anyone living in a Council House whose child has been convicted of looting will be evicted...the whole family...for the crimes of a 13 year old member of it....that is not going to help the clearing out along I suppose?

You people like to style yourselves as radical thinkers. Don'take me fucking laugh. Discordianism my arse. You're just a pack of middle class apologists for the status quo. So many of you so heavily invested in or aspiring to a lifestyle of property deals and stock options, health plans and holiday brochures that the notion of real and meaningful change in the social hierarchy makes you all shit your britches.

Go on; exchange your dirty jokes and naughty pictures. Pat one another on the back and tell each other how gifted, how insightful, how erudite and well read, how essentially superior you all are to anyone who isn't part of the inner circle on your sad little forum for pseudo intellectual posturing.

It's about all any of you have the ticker for.

it may be that i am speaking without knowing, but if i may draw your attention to the bolded text:

surely it may be that it is due to my recent rereading of BIP, but it seems (if only to me), Eartha,
that you have made the same mistake as Golden Rod from the Parable of the Gong in confusing
Discord with Anarchy (and in so doing, have attempt to condemn those that spoke before me of
not being Real Discordians).

again, i may have misread, but it did not seem to me that (most) of the commenters thus far have
spoken against the riots, but only seem to think your claims that it is all some fuzzy minded gov't
conspiracy are, well... fuzzy minded.

[PopeTom]

When considering how likely a conspiracy is the first question to ask yourself is 'How many people would it take to pull this off'.
Then remember that then President of the USA William Clinton couldn't keep getting a blowjob under wraps and all that requires is that two people keep it to themselves.

[Eartha-ly Delights]

Possibly there is another school of thought within Discordianism.....maybe even more than one other... which diverges from your own narrowly defined conception of the thing.

Perhaps in some of those anarchy is very much a central concern. Though I suspect that should you lot ever come across such a school of thought, or any of those who espouse its philosophies you'd flame and belittle them too.

I've come to the conclusion that the problem with this particular group for my purposes is that its far too Americentrist to be of interest.
Your understanding of and curiosity about geopolitics on pd seems to vacillate only throughout the regions sandwiched between Tijuana and Toronto.

But I'm quite confident that popular opinion on pd will be that I'm wrong about that too.
Popular opinion here seeming to be the only thing that resonates.

Funny that, for a group who claim to pride themselves on liking a bit of disharmony....atonal elements aren't really welcome  are they?

[East Coast Hustle]

Atonal elements are more than welcome.

Moronic elements who lack basic reading comprehension skills, however, not so much.

I'm pretty sure that if we took a poll, the majority of posters ITT would come out in favor of the rioters.

And I don't know if you've noticed but not only are you verbally sharting about what is or isn't "really real discordianism" (hint: there's no such thing) but you're doing it in a thread where half of the posters live in the UK and a fair amount of the rest aren't American.

but hey, keep telling Cain and Pent and Pix that they're too "Americentric".

Retard.

[Phox]

The day Dok becomes a guru, I am fleeing, along with anyone who knows what's good for them. I will, however, be tuning into the news often, to hear of the...exploits...of the Howlites.

Nah, I'm just gonna assassinate him. Save the world, and all that jazz.

Care to enlighten us who/what the fuck you're alluding to?
