Title: The Age of Eris
Post by: hooplala on August 21, 2018, 02:05:15 PM
2 guys in a bowling alley tried to reclassify a god 60 years ago. They wanted to invent their own religion, using a relatively obscure member of the greek pantheon, a religion which preached thinking for yourself, and breaking the bonds of normalcy, of noticing your own almost invisible thought processes - all admirable ideas. The problem is, they picked Eris to be this god. They decided Eris was a fun-loving hippie witch interested in the betterment of humanity. They could have picked any obscure member, but they chose Eris.

Eris will not be redefined.

This is Her time, this is Her age. She is behind the red pill and her visage is green and laughing. She whispered to the Russians to play both sides. She runs Tumblr. Twitter. Facebook. She does fund Uncle BadTouch's activities. Her favorite avatar is a slumlord reality tv star everyone hated BEFORE he was on tv, now he ostensibly runs the world, tweeting from his golden toilet as he munches on symbols of American Imperialism.

She won, folks.

The beatniks woke her, and now she runs the world. This is Eris's world, we just live in it.

Hail Eris?

They said the Greeks were just victims of indigestion, and that's why they described her as a scowling crone with a hidden dagger.

These days, I've got indigestion too.


But that's why She doesn't ask for our worship.

In my 20s I was excited for All That Is to finally end.
Now in my 30s, I'm part of All That Is, and its demise disturbs me.

It's so tricky, this invocation of Eris. I don't think they understand the level of penetration permitted to her by any and all expressions of interest. It's Her party now, and she will fuck the brains right out of you.

Of course it will then all pass, with whatever exploits seemingly relegated to determinate 'historical' intervals. Sure. Because you really would think it's just theater, simple, determinate... finite.

60 years ago, she was "waking up"

I want to remind you that the planet Eris' period of orbit is 558 years - so if she was waking up in the 60s, she was last awake in the 15th century (notable events: invention of the printing press, fall of Constantinople), and before that, roughly the year 844 (notable events: rule of Charlemange, volcanos speaking to worshippers globally, China reunited).

For me it's not personal, I want you to all know that.  I've just been taking a decade and a half or so to get my head together.  I made a mistake in 2002 and then went spastic in 2005 and then got sick in 2009 and it's been a very long road since then, only now with damaged meat and maybe just a tiny bit of stress.  Jesus might be your copilot but I am letting Eris fly this fucking thing unsupervised.

Until this morning it was ALL personal, mind you.  Until this morning I was upset about the Great Seriousness™.  I was, in fact, angry as hell.  Then when this morning happened, I thought "Why would I get mad at the sun for rising?"  After this morning, I am clean, I have dropped my baggage into the ditch and left it for feral dogs.  It is worth mentioning that this isn't some "come to Jesus" thing.  No.  I still harbor ill-will for plenty of folks, I'm just not MAD about it anymore, and I don't have a personal interest in whatever the fuck happens to anyone who in my judgement has fucked me over.  Now it's like when you read about that veteran's day parade that got run over by a train in Texas back in 2006 or so.  Amusement, but that's about it.  So I'm not a better person, I'm just not angry anymore.

I mentioned this to my wife this morning and I said, "Maybe one day I'll even forgive people."  She just laughed and slapped me on my ass and said "Yeah, that's gonna happen."

It's good to be me.

As well you should.   But the truth is that nothing happened, other than I woke up "not angry" for the first time in as long as I can remember.  And when I paged through my Big Book of Grudges, I still wasn't angry.  I mean, I still hate the people in the book...But, again, it's more of a spectator hate now.

There is absolutely no point in being mad at people for lacking the agency to not be shitbags.  You gonna stay mad at Hugh forever?  Why?  Yeah, he was a shitbag, but he reaped the rich rewards thereof, and is no longer a concern.  I will chuckle if even worse things happen to him, but I ain't going out of my way.  Same with Charley, Kai, Nigel, yada yada.  Every two-bit asshole who has felt the need to tell me WHAT.  I no longer feel any sort of connection.  It's just that simple.

(Though I do gotta admit that I still laugh when I think of Charley's inverse butthole.)

It never rains until mid-July, then the sky turns black and swirls around like that one scene in Ghostbusters and then lighting kills anything standing outside and then the torrential downpours.  And there's no ground cover, so all the water stays on the surface and moves in one direction and everyone dies.

As for the OP, all I can say is that Discordianism has been a part of our anti-Machine™  traditions for many years. Many people, day in and day out, pay ECH religiously. Do they really know what they are funding? During a recent study of Discordianism done at the University of New Hampshire, they found some very upsetting facts. First of all, has anybody noticed that just recently, the religion has changed their name? Discordianism has become PeeDeeDotCom. Does anybody know why? We thought the real reason was because of the "DEFF CULT" issue and weird Irish zoning laws. It's not. The reason why they call it PeeDeeDotCom is because they cannot use the word "Discordian" anymore. Why? PeeDeeDotCom does not use real Discordians. They actually use hypnotically manipulated humans. These so called "Discordians" are kept paying by Hoopla pumping slogans into their thoughts to pump ads and bullshit throughout their structure. They have no guts, no courage, and NO SENSE. Their brain structure is dramatically shrunk to get more money out of them. This is great for PeeDeeDotCom because they do not have to pay so much for their production costs. There is no more WOMPING of the Grams or the Taking of the Piss. They do not say Discordianism anywhere. If you look closely you will notice this. Listen to their commercials, I guarantee you will not see or hear the word Discordian. I find this matter to be very disturbing. I hope people will start to realize this and let other people know.

Scientology is all kinda vague and loosey-goosey, you never know which engrams you're gonna clear, But Discordianism is carefully preprogrammed for optimal results, and every time you run it through your brain it leaves exactly the same pattern.  No matter how angry it makes you or how much you scream in agony religious ecstasy.

And LMNO, well...He was the most tragic victim of Eris.  The old timers remember the Big Gay Cowboy, aka Saturday Night Special, aka Big Mojo.  Sure you do.  He was TEAM VODKA, and his corporate shenanigans were just to pay for TEAM VOKDA.  At first, anyway.  But he found, as I have found, that the levers of power are absolutely fucking fascinating, and before long, he was skipping out on the Gay Bar to tie up financials.  Just once, mind you, and it was tax season.  And then once became twice and twice became...well, you know.

LMNO was last seen on the MBTA, clutching a briefcase to his chest and staring straight ahead.  "I can be anything I want to be."

Which, again, I empathize with, having once stood clutching an M16A1 and screeching "I'm being all I can be" through clenched teeth.  But everyone knows that you're not always a soldier, that you eventually stop being one (or you live in a hell of VFW and American Legion meeting halls), but once the Big Bad grabs you, you're grabbed.  The Machine™ is a Merry Go Round of tits or dicks or whatnot, moving at hundreds of miles per hour, and clinging to the nipples are the Money Men, with nobody pulling maintenance.   2007 was the best case scenario of how that works out.  LMNO may be the WORST case scenario of how it WILL work out.

So wait, hold up - you're back and they are still pulling this shit?

For another half hour.

On Monday, Dirty Old Uncle Howl has a surprise for them.

YOU GET A WRITE UP AND YOU GET A WRITE UP AND YOU'RE FIRED AND YOU'RE FIRED AND YOU GET A WRITE UP!

EVERYONE LOOK UNDER YOUR SEAT!

If I didn't need warm bodies tomorrow, I'd do it this minute.

So I surmised, but a reference to the Great Amicability® would hardly have piqued my curiosity.

Basically, it was when the fun stopped and the Purge for Great Justice™ began.  Everyone (well, just about) threw their brains in the toilet and went full-Jacobin for social justice.  I don't mean social justice like "Let's fix this shit", but instead "Here's why YOU are a lousy human being and cannot match up to OUR tumblry goodness".  This shit actually started in 2012 or so, but went full potato in December of 2015 and exploded by the following July.

The predictable result of social justiceTumblr was achieved, by which I mean hardly anyone speaks to anyone anymore, and the board went from "some traffic" to "the morgue", nobody posts stories or art except Queen Gogira1 and Bobby Campbell, and once in a while some of the more clueless warriors drop in because they "missed us" by which they mean "they miss telling us WHAT." 

What's REALLY funny about all of this is it started in 2011 with the very polar OPPOSITE of social justice, which is to say a horrible old piece of shit named Charley who started bitching when he thought his e-harem had been encroached upon.  But that quickly became a totally separate storyline that is too ticklish to tell in the same thread as the SJW Muck.





1  Queen Gogira really IS about justice, and regularly confronts alt-right goons at demonstrations, despite her tiny frame.

That was the start.  I am referring to the entire mess later on with Nigel, Freeky, et al.

I mean, the Garbo one just ended so hilariously that it tends to stick in the mind.

Who among us has never disabled the search function?  Who among us has never watched in giddy schadenfreude as people spent 4-5 hours sifting through the sewer that is Apple Talk, looking for a lost gem?  You want to just bring it up as a topic; you cannot.  You can only click past RWN drug threads and the Ghost of Pinealism Past.  You can only seethe in impotent hatred as the grinning Irish bastard chortles and archives everything that matches your search terms.

Dammit how did you know that one in ten times, searching for a specific term moves the threads you were looking for into an archive server, and that server itself gets archived into a slow moving river.
