A declaration of defeat

[Chaplin_Sinatra_Fonzarell]

A year ago, I would have made a fourth of July post saying "OMG AMERICA SUCKS WE'RE SO FAT AND STUPID AND APATHETIC AND OUR PRESIDENT LOOKS LIKE A MONKEY LOL" while my fat white ass got bigger from food from the kitchen as people are starving and other people are getting blown up for oil that's used to power this computer.

I think I've matured a little. Actually, this last week, I've had my climax of starry-eyed Utopian Anarchist idealism and have begun my descent into cynical Post-Leftism. Probably the same thing the hippies were going through in the early 70s. It's not a pretty thing. realizing that there's nothing you can do and that civilization will always suck and that Bush/Nixon is not the Anti-Christ that the world will stand in opposition against but just another in a long line of privilidged white men answering to the higher calling that is greed and that making LJ posts about how much America sucks won't help anything and in it's own way, Western Europe is just as bad and that you're just contributing to a trite homogenous fashion statement.

So, unless I get out of this funk, (I don't know if it's permanent or just temporary) I'm hanging up my activist's coat and hat. You've done it, system, you've crushed another voice of dissent and turned it into a bitter, apathetic husk of a former self. No anti-jingoist rant for me. I don't care. In a million years, maybe, the plants and animals will have reconquered the Earth. No more LJ icons saying "Fuck Bush", no more flyers raving about the Neo-Con agenda, no more pretending that boycotting Wal-Mart makes a difference.

Americanism has won.

Hey Fonz,

I know where you're at, I've been there a million times, and all I can say is this too shall pass. If activism's really in your blood, then you'll find your path again, if not, you'll find something else, but don't beat yourself up about it.

I mean, honestly, it makes me roll my eyes to see Live 8 or some of these other fashionable protests and think "Oh, someone thinks they're gonna save the world with a heap of celebrity masturbation" but it never does does it? No, the stuff that makes life bearable is never a grand or permanent solution, there's no deus ax machina coming our way, but if small victories are all we get, then my philosophy is to grab as many as possible. YMMV.

Yeah, don't worry. I go through these all the time. I was depressed and hung over when I wrote that and I'm over-dramatic when I'm depressed. I think my revolutionary spirit's coming back. I have the energy to blow up an oil tanker again.

NOT THAT I CONDONE VIOLENCE OMG

Milquetoast.

[Slarti]

that's sort of how i feel, but i never actually did the activism part.

[Catch-23]

Yeah, I kind of feel the same way now. Living a life of apathy is really the only way I can go without destroying myself.

...not that I mind destruction or anything...

CORRECT!

You wouldn't say that if you had to clean up afterwards  

[Verthaine]

Unless we can make Discordanism a force for change in this planet(There have been many planets worse of then this one who have embraced the Goddess and made a better world because of it),things will just get worse.

Erisianism is still young on this world,so we need to spread the  ONE TRUE FAITHtm. before the XTians/Muslems Immenentize the Eschaton. I am trying my best,but I am only one trans-dimensional entity.
Once my assignment on this world is up(Still got another 25 earth years left),
I doubt that i would ever come back here unless the Church of Eris(any form of discordianism is Church of Eris) becomes the dominant paradigm.
If discordianism becomes the dominant paradigm,this beings(yes I know that there are a number of you on this board that can already travel trans-d.I am talking about the cabbages,not those of us who know how to fully use the pineal gland and their imagination) of this planet will finally be able travel to other dimesions,other realities.

[Horab Fibslager]

dsicordianism need not be a force for change. in fact fuck hiding behind ideas and ideals. go out and fucking get the shit together already.

saying you have ideals is jsut another way  of sayin gyou take it up the ass from the corporation.

us emoney? own a hosue? pay taxes? use power? use money?

you are 10000% owned. to the 7th generation of yoru seed.

there are no freemen anywhere.

[East Coast Hustle]

that's ugly.

it's also absolutely true.

[Iron Sulfide]

so, am i to understand then that entropy wasn't disproven?

that, in fact, reverse-entropy in a thermodynamic enviornment isn't
what is indeed taking place?

ever notice how virii and fungii seem very similar?

colonizing, speading to critical mass, then replicating and sending off?

the difference is that virii are typically entropic and destructive...like
a parasitic relationship. fungii are typically, however, reverse-entropic
and regenerating (more of a symbiotic relationship, decomposing things
dead and rotting to turn them into new energy and matter..)

the species Homo Sapiens has been compared (by some it's own members)
to a Virus. much merit can be attached to that accusation. but the
question i'm compelled to ask is if the same potential can be tapped and
turned non-parasitic and gravitate towards symbiosis...like the
Fungii.

c'mon people, Space and Time are waiting for us/ (and those are just the beginning...y'all should be damn thankful that i took the bhodisattva promise before i fully understood just how fucking long this is going to take...)

[Horab Fibslager]

teh truth aint ever pretty.

love is a fist.

if god is our father, and jesus is our brother, then satan is our cousin.



anybody woudl do anything for money, given the proper circumstances.
