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.

Full gamut of emotions today. You might want to get that checked out. Could be the HIV.

You're supposed to wait a few posts before the big reveal.  1/10, for lack of style.

What's really awesome about this situation is that it has taught me that there ISN'T any correct response to privilege.  It just IS, and there's no sense worrying about it.

So you're at a party.  One of the guests, let's say he's a white male, begins cracking racist and misogynist jokes.
One of the other members of the party (LMNO, in this case), takes him aside and explains that this is inappropriate and not funny.
The guest then ramps it up, more and more loudly screeching the same shit.
One of the hosts asks the guest to leave.  Guest refuses.
Host throws guest out.
Host is now a "white knight", to be mocked by the same person(s) who had spent two and a half years screaming at the host about privilege and how the host was doing it wrong and "a giant has fallen" and all other manner of shit.

Which tells me that everything I was told about dealing with privilege was never sincere.  It was just another control ploy, to be discarded when a better one came along, and that I really didn't learn anything over the last 2.5 years that I didn't already know (with the exception of what Corbet Et Renard had to say).

TL;DR version:  It's crap, and not worth considering, because there is never a right answer.
