Whoops yeah I could have provided some context, it was meant in reply to the comment about identity politics being what's left that people still have control over. It presents itself as something inherently problematic in that the goals of identity politics are immediately desirable while at the same time being self-defeating in the long run. The bitter tea parable if I haven't misread it, I guess.

It's easy to see the appeal, if you aim low and just set your sights on simply being accepted as a regular zek, you never have to confront that pesky issue of never being anything more than a zek. The aspiration to be something more than a simple factor in the course of production requires a kind of courage most of us simply cannot muster while separated from one another.  It's a winning strategy for everyone involved, regardless of which side they happen to be on at any moment. Tumblr activism is the perfect ghetto to house possible dissidents of the younger generation. The various authorities don't even have to invest in informants to keep tabs, the radicals simply stay home no matter what, using devices that passively collect any data of value anyhow.

Meanwhile the far right gains ground in real life here and especially in Europe. In spite of it's completely bankrupt ideology, the german communist movement was at least still strong enough to fight the brownshirts in the streets for a few years. Can you imagine how quickly some of our own home grown fascists will cut through the drum circleists and identity politicians? Yikes

Ah yes I've heard of such a problem, you have to perform the ritual to attract their attention. It requires the blood of a homeless transgender youth and the engine of a 2003 dodge caravan.

I am prepared to self-manage my own harassment as necessary. Yet another instance of political correctness gone mad, it's getting to be that one can't even degrade and bully people into tracking you down and assaulting you in real life these days without that anti-christ in DC calling you out on national tv for it.

Hello, I am new here.

I'm not really sure if I am a discordian or not, I only recently came across the concept while reading the illuminatus books a few months ago and am still digging into it a little bit. On face value it seems to fit, but almost too well which just raises my suspicions. I come from an activist background that has left me in a kind of traumatic state which thankfully only manifests when I encounter trotskyist newspapers, or people who even know what those are. I enjoy reading, sitting quietly and based on observational evidence; slowly decomposing inside of cubicles and behind service counters. I will endeavor to not disappear and will commit to keeping any zaney antics firmly towards the Thatcher end of the Thatcher-Bozo spectrum.
