Beware of belief in statements which immediately appear reasonable, and you are inclined to agree with, but for which you have no evidence.

That is how fad diets start.

If the ruling class merely plays-Fucking-Sexing with a few children... the world would be far too pleasant. Give him a thousand! Five hundred boys and five hundred girls... just like Qin Shi Huang gave to Xu Fu .

Since this pinealist shithead has declared itself an apologist for child abuse, I recommend it be banned immediately.

Have a link:  *edit:  link redacted due to the producer (Common Sense Skeptic) coming out as an apologist for police violence*

The enemy of my enemy is presently convenient, and soon to betray.

Doesn't matter WHO you are.  St Verthaine once said, "If they do it to THEM, they'll do it to YOU", and he was - as always - 169% correct.

I keep recalling that quote-of-a-quote, as it continues to prove itself in fresh new ways.

Hilarious!

Especially the "coming soon" part, and how there were no comics.

If I'm preparing to spread Discordianism in a Chinese-speaking region, what do I need to pay attention to?

Why would you want to spread Discordianism?

For example, I need to make the authorities think I'm genuinely an idiot

Just act normally, they'll get the idea.

Otherwise, I might be secretly executed by agents.

Doesn't sound like it's worth it.  Not a lot of ROI in getting secretly executed, you can't even cash in your own life insurance policy.

Not sure how they're going to blame the destruction of the east wing on Obama, but, whatev.  It's a minor incident in the context of what is happening to the population at large.

Pity about the historical architecture though.

My Intrusive Thoughts:  "MAKE THEM FLASH AT 10 HERTZ!"

Once, as a dumb schoolkid, I read somewhere that humans were sensitive to flashing lights at certain frequencies, so I programmed my Apple IIgs to flash pink at 13 Hz.

It was nausea-inducing, bloody awesome, and I didn't do it again.

Its systematic, orchestrated, choreographed, and a tool of the same old con, but smarter and meaner.

Agreed.  They--whoever "they" are--are doing it on purpose.

There's nothing chaotic about it, and Trump doesn't have to do anything, just relax and do everything his advisers tell him to

At the risk of arguing semantics, I'd say that "keeping people reeling" is chaos.  I also think Trump's unpredictability on tariffs, foreign policy, etc. is mostly his own doing, and that his advisers are largely yes-men.

But if we look more at the domestic affairs side, I might agree with you.  Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem have their agenda, and in that context, one could argue that Trump is less a chaos engine, and more a useful idiot.

[is]

This world is made from chaos, born from it, and you, goddess knows why, signed up for a chaos-based religion.

Well, now a big meaty chunk of that chaos has escaped from the neatly pencilled line you drew around it, and is contorting your reality with fresh new horrors.  And here you are getting all shocked and dismayed and running around yapping like a chihuaha that just realized it's about to be castrated.

Isn't this what you wanted?  Did you think Discordianism was just a bunch of randos goofing off, talking shit, and making lame jokes about the hotdog truck that spilled its cargo over interstate 83? Have you completely missed the point?

Forget that junk, look to the roots of things.

You're here, reading the tattered remnants of this moth-chewed forum, so you already recognize that Christianity has nothing to do with loving your neighbour, or following the Bible.  Its root is "We chose ourselves as the chosen people, and now we have the God-given duty to fuck everyone up and take their stuff."

And, just like that, Discordia has nothing to do with the Principia book, or the BIP, or a measured introspection of your belief structures.  The root of Discordia is petty spite.  It's about carelessly wiping out a major city-state because someone didn't invite you to their party.

Do you get it, now?  Trump is born of Eris.  Trump is the incarnation of Eris.  Trump is Eris.  He is petty, spiteful, random, careless of consequences.  He's exactly the kind of god you wanted, the one you voted for, and now he's wandering free over the Earth, crashing everyone's party!

Isn't it fun?

I'd rather be part of Canada

We don't want you.  You screwed up your country, we don't need you screwing up ours, too.

Yeah, he'd vote for the greens to benefit the conservatives or UCP because the liberals aren't pure enough for him.

And it's not just Pergamos in particular, or the people like him, we don't want any seceded states trying to join up.

Even the bluest of your blue states is politically very toxic, and we've already got at least two toxic provinces.  (I'm living in one of them).  It's enough.  Individual Americans who want to immigrate or seek asylum is one thing, but your systems are pure poison.

There is a lack of understanding south of the border about exactly how much hate has accumulated up here over the last several months.

I'd rather be part of Canada

We don't want you.  You screwed up your country, we don't need you screwing up ours, too.

You expect the truth to matter? 

It always does, one way or another.

Y'all knew the truth about Trump, and that clearly didn't matter.

The only truth that really matters in your country now is that which flows from the barrel of a gun.

Interesting note:  The soldiers were not impressed.  They were out of step, for chrissakes.  My drill sergeant would have unscrewed my neckpipe and shat down it if I had marched to the chow hall like that at the end of week one.

That has to be deliberate.

I've encountered two narratives:  Either they were intentionally out of step, as a volitional expression of disrespect (i.e., Foxtrot Delta Tango), or they were pissed that they had to spend their weekend doing this, and were just really half-assing it.

I consider the first explanation more likely.  Anyway, it seems that der Fuhrer has not earned the loyalty of the Wehrmacht, which may be important if he attempts to override the results of the mid-term elections (if any).

The Department of Health and Human Services will announce that lead deficiency in children is a leading cause of mental disease of liberalism.

Chewable lead supplements will be made in the shape of popular cartoon characters.

Or--hear me out--they'll just add lead to the drinking water, instead of fluoride.

Hollow it out (if necessary), then fill it with nitroglycerin?
