I just don't understand any kind of absolute egalitarianism philosophy. Whether it's branded as anarcho-capitalism or straight anarchism or sockfucking libertarianism, it always misses the same point.

Foulcalt's Pendulum was the bomb.
One by one, we break the sheep from their Iron Bar Prisons and expand their imaginations, make them think for themselves. In turn, they break more from their prisons. Eventually, critical mass is reached. Our key word: Resolve. Evangelize with compassion and determination. And realize that there will be few in the beginning. We are hand picking our successors. They are the future of Discordianism. Let us guide our future with intelligence.

Totally worth it. Includes almost every conspiracy theory of the last 2000 years. Read it while I was in Europe last summer, and I couldn't put it down.

I'd defo miss the drugs and sex and maybe teh Joyce-isms too (if I knew which ones those were)

So what you're saying is that this book is like RAW but with less in?

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

The book is dense with history, religion, math, & conspiracy.

Not so much yellow submarines, infantile sex jokes, and 5 pages of ridiculous band names.

But I love those band names  :sad:

Definitely need to check that book out. I'm always up for interesting new reading  8)
People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad! We can strike without warning. Pockets of reasonableness and harmony will appear as if from nowhere! Nice people will run the government again! There will be coffee and cookies in the Gandhi Room after the revolution.

Arguing with a Unitarian Universalist is like mud wrestling a pig. Pretty soon you realize the pig likes it.
