We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Thank goodness for teh internetz! An exchange of badinage overheard on TeamSpeak earlier today during an online team game, with the appropriate links added in the chat window:
HadMacksFTW: “Fighting must be hungry work because when I watch those guys in Syria blowing the crap out of each other on YouTube, they keep screaming “I wanna snack bar! I wanna snack bar!” over and over again! Hummus must be for girlie men, warriors need a serious god damn snack bar!”
CyberneticHippoOfDeath: “Poor ill educated fool! They are shouting “Admiral Ackbar! Admiral Ackbar!”… Its a Star Wars reference that involves traps, you cultural ignoramus! They do this because it increases the chance they will hit the target from zero percent by five percent by invoking the power of western civilisation! It works in Call of Duty too, not just in mere real life!”

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Thank you for the good laugh. I needed it!
It is comical but serious, the way they constantly go “Allah Akhbar Allah Akhbar Allah Akhbar Allah Akhbar” is surely indicative of some kind of collective psychosis!
Yeah Ferret, its the alternative to thinking
When the Israelis shot down a Syrian Su-24 the rebels got the crash on tape and as the plane went down they shouted Allah Akbar Allah Akbar.
First time I can think of when the Israelis shot down an Arab plane and other Arabs cheered.
Truly strange times.
“Takbir!”
“Admiral Ackbar!”
It does have a certain ring to it!
And then there is THIS!

The rise of the righteous political correction squad has ensured we can no longer mock our enemies with humour, this is sad as I believe laughter is indeed our best weapon against the soulless god-fearing left-hand bottom-wipers of this world.
I wonder if it’s French? ‘A la aquebar!’ some sort of bar that only serves water? Desert warfare is thirsty work. ‘To the Waterbar’ makes good sense. I think we’ve nailed it.
And that would explain why the French get extra condemnation in some of the messages from IS! I’ve wondered about that.
