TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

A friend sent me a link to this ages ago, and now I've finally watched it:
http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=8339

It's four hours of documentary but I feel it was time well-spent (even if it took me ages to find the time for it)... You can watch the first five minutes or so of part four to get a recap of it and see if it's worth watching...

The series brings up some bigger questions about democracy, but I found it fascinating to see all of what it presents put together in historical perspective...

Discuss.

Also this site, informationliberation, looks pretty interesting in itself.

At first, yes it does, but its just a bunch of whiney Daily Mail reading spags sending in links of badly researched and hysterical articles.

Thanks for the link though, I'll try and watch this over the weeke nd.

Out of everyone here, I'd have thought you'd be the first to see it. You pointed me to Adam Curtis' newer documentary The Power Of Nightmares which is also fantastic.

Yes.

I know of it, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.  Verb has reminded to do so, however.
