I come from the void to be thrown into this ocean of chaos,
to dance and sing, love and hate, to journey and explore, laugh and cry & to rest + die.
I do not know what is right or what is wrong, but I know what hurts.
I know there is no one who truly understands the universe better then I, and I know I know so very little.
The authorities are so very sure, and I am so very confused, yet I smile contently while they are grey-faced.
The religious tell me that I am a sinner, I tell them if that is true, then I blame god.
The government has lied, cheated and stolen unto me, and so I do unto others what has been done to me.
I am a zenarchist, looking for other zenarchists, are you one?
If you are unsure, you probably are.
I wouldn't know a zenarchist if I were staring at one in the mirror.

- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

I wrote this once, long before I even knew what Zenarchy was. :D

I have new purpose in life. I can't explain it. I feel like I've been caught up in a war of humans and have just discovered a new side. The winning side. The side no one sees. The side that creeps up from all angles, so slow you don't notice, that chokes without threatening to choke.

We are everything, and in that, we are nothing. I am a nature's warrior, and in that, I fight no wars. I believe in the world's cause, and in that, I know not what I fight for. I will fight with words, energy, and the Way, and in that, I shall not fight. I have felt both the spark of life and the caress of void, and in that, I have no fear. I will press with subtlety, I will seek out others of my kind, I shall create, not kill, and do so ruthlessly, I will do so on my enemy's terms, I will willingly and eagerly fill my role in something bigger than myself, with no threat of reward, and so shall others of my kind... And in that, we shall win.

I am but a tiny peice of that which is all, and in that, I am part of all. My body may be killed, but my spirit cannot, for it is of all, and all cannot be destroyed.
In a constant state of losing The Game.

Oh Noes, ECH doesn't like my un-manifesto, I have failed at teh life, think I'll have to go be an hero nao.  :cry:

You know ECH, I don't care if you think it's fail, but I would appreciate constructive criticism  if you're going to bag my work.
Otherwise all I'll do is continue to produce fail, right?

it wasn't that bad, IMO.

not very mind blowing perhaps, but i don't quite see how it's "FAIL", esp. without any comment

It's quite simple really - If we denounce it as fail we all get to rip the piss out Lys  :lulz:

I didn't realize it was original work. I thought it was re-post.

however...

that doesn't mean it's not still FAIL. Not that it's badly written, it's well composed for what it is. It just sounds like every other piece of vaguely inspirational neo-hippie propaganda out there.

but what is, in your opinion, exactly wrong with it?

it's not that i completely disagree, but i think Lys is also interested in getting thought on it.

1.  It's pretentious.

2.  There was a guy a few years ago, said he was a "Zenarchist".  Total asshole.  The reverberations strike deep.

i read the "zenarchy" thing, one of the 10 extra discordian books, that one. it was not significantly more worse than most of the others.

and, i didn't get any pretentiousness from it.

i just got some vague notion of something, somewhere in the middle of my mind, kinda can agree with, and was worded quite good, IMO.

Why is it pretentious?

Why does your experience with an asshole cause you to attach a stereotype to a label? Sounds like maybe someone got programmed by someone else....
