The thing is, if you're looking to do satire in an Absurdist fashion with "neutrality", you really need to go there. I mean, you gotta dig in and get really extreme about it. Take it to the wall; break down the wall; keep going. You need to be fucking unhinged about neutrality.
Like, if you want to be neutral about Nazis as absurdist satire, you want to up the stakes and state your neutral position on genocide, and baby rape.
A:"Alright everyone, we NEED to talk about the baby rape epidemic."
B:"What's there to talk about? Kill every baby rapist. It's wrong."
A:"I cannot believe how biased you're being right now. How are we supposed to have intellectual discussions if you're just going to jump on the first Morality bandwagon that comes through the station?"
B:"???"
A:"
I bet you've got a stance on genocide, too."
I appreciate your consideration.
You are correct that I would benefit from
informing new aquaintances of the nature of my absurdity.
It is a form of satire inspired by
the absurd theater people are calling civilization.
"fight absurdity with absurdity" in a half-assed way
or full-assed... whatever the Goddess prefers.
My intention was only to have some fun.
Hopefully that can be added to The Book
under a section titled "the folly of the absurd".
We love fighting absurdity with absurdity. That is certainly in the spirit of Discordianism (Even though most of us here aren't "Real Discordians"). But as LMNO pointed out, you gotta go all the way. "Full-assed" in your words.
But even then, I'd pay attention to what your purpose is for the satire. If you look around in Operation: Mindfuck, for example, you might find some ideas and proposals for projects you might like that are intended to not only be hilarious, but also invoke some sort of change in a system. Whether it's exemplifying some Facebook Group's attitude about one topic in regard to another in order to get them to think about it differently, or even just mocking a group's attitude so well that observers rebel against that group. We love making a difference when we get the chance, especially if it means making somebody look dumb. Hilariously.
If you wanna satirize something on this board only, maybe to get us all to look at an issue a bit differently, that's great, too. Adding a new perspective to something we might already all be in agreement on (And we don't always agree on everything, believe me) can lead to pretty in-depth discussions around these parts, which may lead to epiphanies about other related/unrelated topics.
