   2016-2017 is a particularly tough cookie for discordians & fellow travelers, because we were defeated with our own weapons and saw those weapons used toward ends we thought them inherently incompatible with. It was a big wakeup call for anybody who thought that culture jamming and (old-style) trolling would inevitably lead toward greater civil liberties even if wielded by authoritarians.

   The message is: weapons don't care about the pure intentions of their wielders.

      @enkiv2 I think we thought authoritarians were too stupid to use these weapons.
