(Full disclosure: Kerry Thornley had some beautiful and noble ideas during his early life, but died a bigoted, paranoid, anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist. Shame be upon him, but the fact his brain shit the bed late in life-- mental illness was probably involved-- doesn't mean his testimony about the counterculture wasn't insightful, and probably applicable to the current situation on Mastodon. Attracting the general public's the worst thing you can do to a subculture. :( )

@zebratron2084 anti-semitism, the prejudice you can always find societal forgiveness for, and so easy to come by!

@Leucrotta Yeah, I'm not gonna defend the guy. It makes me sick to my stomach that's what the co-founder of Discordianism, of all the damn things, turned into. I take it mostly as a cautionary fable that the moral rot can strike damn near anyone, and heroes don't exist. -_-

@zebratron2084 I’m sorry for being so cranky about it. You’re probably the last person I should be cranky at about stuff I feel like maybe i don’t have a right to talk about.

@Leucrotta @zebratron2084 dude I am pretty sure you always have the right to be cranky about how easy it is to apologize for anti-semitism in this country.
