The best things that can come from this thread now:

Thrashed fash.

Newsfeed.

That's it. That's everything.

There's over 100 of us in this meat-suit. You'd think it runs like a ship, but it's more like a hundred and ten angry ghosts having an old-school QuakeWorld tournament, three people desperately trying to make sure the gamers don't go hungry or soil themselves, and the Facilities manager weeping in the corner as the garbage piles high.

My personal vision for the world is that it reflects what is shown in the Sacred Chao. I think the Law of Eristic Escalation is going to attract more right-wingers and "Serious religious believers" no matter what you do about it.

Ok, I'll play.  I'd like to hear more about your vision... would you mind starting a conversation in "Think For Yourself, Schmuck" so we can discuss?   I'll approach it non-judgementally.  I can't promise anyone else will, though.

I will.  I totally will.

I am just waiting for him to jabber something about Richard Spencer, is all.
Why the fuck would I do that though? He's an idiot.

What about Jordan Peterson?
even moreso.

You should be happy that Discordianism is getting more attention, instead you're being angsty about it like "oh no someone found out the only thing that makes me original and they're not following my specific variation of it". It's just fucking sad.

After so many years of hippie-thought, it'd be a refreshing view of Discordianism no matter how you look at it.
That's to say, I'm not promoting the thought of authoritarianism, I think the perfect state of being for the Discordian Society is Balanced Chaos, where there's as much disorderly movements as there are Orderly movements, all autonomously decentralized in undergroups according to the POEE Disorganizational Matrix.
I'd be a fan of it if every ideology could get along through segregation, where the only form of unity is through the Discordian Society.
I'd pledge for an Eristocratic Movement anyday.

Yeah, there's way too many people here who like the hippie thought version of Discordianism.

Yup.

That's definitely a problem.

Definitely no-one here who openly embraced a vision of Discordianism which saw Eris as a war goddess or anything.

This just keeps getting funnier.

The Johnny


I just read the entirety of this thread and its really unfortunate that it got derailed by sealioning  :horrormirth:

But like, the act of naming things, people or groups can be done in two different manners:

1) Self-naming: which is completely subjective and can be completely foreign to reality... i could identify as the Princess of Norway and nobody could talk me out of my psychotic delirium.

2) Naming by others: can be completely subjective too and also foreign to reality (like some people calling me a terrorist dog in the 2000's because they thought i was arabian LOL) - but it usually entails describing based on some objective quality despite how flawed or innacurate it really is... to the person that called me "terrorist dog" in their ignorant perspective, i had certain arabesque features despite of the reality of not being at all.

So given this introduction, anyone can call themselves Discordian despite of the accuracy of the description, and nobody can stop them from doing it because theres no regulatory body to prevent it. But the "naming of others" if were trying to be accurate, should describe some of the real characteristics of what we perceive.

So like, me personally? Id call these people you refer to as "4chan discordians" or "MAGA discordians"... As simple as that, add the adjective before the tag discordian - the adjective would be realistically descriptive, while the "discordian" tag is purely subjective identification.

And finally one would have to ask themselves - Save discordia from what? and what does saving mean?

Does it mean running a PR campaing telling the world that Discordia should not be associated with racism and totalitarianism????  :lulz:

As an addendum, id like to say that in some cases, self proclaimed "discordians" i would more accurately describe them either as psychotic or degenerate trolls, but thats my personal right of interpretation/description and id never demand they stop calling themselves discordian.

The accuracy of a description also depends on perspective and there is many many perscetives from which an average discordian would totally seem like a "psychotic or degenerate troll". Luckily from inside the cult we can see that isn't a case.
I get trauma from stuff most don't even notice.
