mircea_popescu: ascii_field: they happily send their sons to army so they can 'die for a fat bitch's right to marry her dog' << wow. that, right there, is more valuable to
orlov's employer than
orlov's entire body of work to date. mebbe you get job offers nao.

orlov fellates the boston harvaprinceyaleton liberast-wing-usg orthodoxy <<< and moscow does not ? puhleaze.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: cuz i might want to be able to distinguish orwell from
orlov mircea_popescu: check it out thestringpuller you got better score than
orlov.
ascii_field: i must have some 'css' filter in my skull that makes
orlov make sense
mircea_popescu: i guess you'll have to provide offsets with your
orlov links nao
ascii_field:
orlov worked this subject in his hilarious 'dead souls'
ascii_field is not
orlov and isn't paid by ru; hell, they won't even give him a passport
ascii_field: this is not ~strictly~ necessary - a professional exterminator (paid, as in
orlov) can do his thing without emotion
mircea_popescu: and it is why i pointed out
orlov's failure in the elephant story.
ascii_field: in all fairness,
orlov never advocated 'let's all you plankton move to x and colonize'
assbot: Logged on 12-08-2015 15:46:48; mircea_popescu: "But a boxing audience is always disgusting, and the behaviour of the women, in particular, is such that the army, I believe, does not allow them to attend its contests." lmao
orlov and his middle class sentimentalities.

☟︎ phf: (there's a 90s russian commedy, дмб, about a bunch of hapless army conscripts. at some point they are supposed to provide entertainment for generals, in some total buttfuck nowhere location. one of the activities is pig hunting, they release a pig, and the general goes after it. so of course the pig gets eaten by one of the hungry conscripts, and he has to pretend to be a pig running through fields. i can't help but think about
orlov's boomer
phf: i started reading
orlov with his piece about "everyone should get russian passport and move syberia to survive orks and global warming", i thought that maybe he was one of those slightly misguided older russian expats, so i sent him an email in russian with the general idea of, what about existing power structures there, it's not like moving to alaska, there's not going to be a shortage of local generals interested in hunting out of shape expats
mircea_popescu: but hey,
orlov doesn't know about india. he got a hammer an' he's a builder.
phf: that
orlov quote is questionable, with the same message as his other writing, i.e. "orks are cooler then you" where you is a u.s. office worker. i grew up in intelligentsia family and when i started getting into fights i was sent to sambo. i also saw fights involving chechen boys, including "деревня на деревню" kind, and in none of those were russian boys holding back. what is this
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, i have to strike the foregoing. i never challenged
orlov.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field if you recall, i challenged
orlov and he came out with "I am a robot doing the above".
mircea_popescu: imo the entire menagerie,
orlov, yarvin, whoi have you are simply doing this by hand
ascii_field:
orlov: 'There is a bug in blogger where it sometimes publishes a post even if the date is set in the future. I disabled feeds to work around it.'
ascii_field: if you are only concerned with the collapse,
orlov's 'post-soviet lessons' is notbad
pete_dushenski: lol. y'know, just in case any actual revolutionaries are reading
orlov and needing fatherly advice from someone with no skin in the game.
mircea_popescu: somehow
orlov doesn't feel compelled to go "check out schmuckin, going over to the euro tune of human rights"
mircea_popescu: i'd rather read
orlov's daughter from a marriage with yarvin consumated on one of their leaky carriers they have.
mircea_popescu: even the most cursory effort to consider the matter sunks people like
orlov.
ascii_field: in the words of
orlov, 'try asking a different question, to which there may be an answer'
ascii_field: btw as a long-time reader of herr
orlov, i can't help but notice that he spat on diesels and bragged about a seldom-used ('only in doldrumss') outboard petrol engine
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 22:37:12; lobbes: I only just started reading
Orlov's blog not too long ago. On alf's recommendation, I skipped to some of his earlier stuff (from roughly 2011?). I do get the feeling that he can either be 'hit or miss' at times.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: Maybe email
Orlov and see if you can borrow the Tu-95 in the embassy basement
mircea_popescu: well for one thing it's not ok to admit yarvin is
orlov in a different color scheme
ascii_field: lobbes: generally, the earliest
orlov is the best
lobbes: ascii_field: I feel like I'm thanking you every week for some reading material, but thanks for the
orlov introduction. It is becoming my latest addiction
mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform, what would you say is the difference between
orlov as quoted and the fiction of the "imperialist burgeois" as classically described (1890s, even) ?
mircea_popescu: he has a boss in rh who has a boss who has an
orlov who has an etc. six strings long, the flea circus.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem with using a language is that you're stuck using it according to itself tho. this is like,
orlov horribly mauled a teenaged girl and you're like "well clearly the bear thought her cunt's salmon."
mircea_popescu: this is why i don't like reading
orlov. the propaganda angle doesn't bother me as much, but the millitant, sheer ignorance does.
gabriel_laddel: I always wonder about the people who see this sort of thing everyday but never connect the dots, how do they internally deal with actual reality? I once flipped through the book Dangerous Thoughts by Yuri
Orlov. He claimed that in the soviet collapse people would have multiple "selves". When they would break the law that would be their "off work" I, vs. the at work I who would report such a transgression to the poli
cazalla: i'm drinking some bundy, meant to drink last night but sidetracked with that
orlov article and then zzz
cazalla: mircea_popescu, it's not that i'm interested in it (or would understand/appreciate the issue tbh) but it seemed obvious way to poke a hole in
orlov's prediction, at least that it might occur in my lifetime anyway
cazalla: asciilifeform, i read
orlov's post soviet lessons.. article last night and my impression is that some of what he predicts relies on suggestion we've passed peak oil, but then i have read elsewhere peak oil has been debunked or that we're not even close to passing it.. can you share thoughts? not much turns up in logs
assbot: Logged on 27-06-2014 04:19:50; asciilifeform: speaking of sewage, i recently had occasion to learn the details behind herr
orlov's assertion that usa minus mains current will drown in own shit
ben_vulpes: is
orlov's account of the soviet collapse halfway accurate?
ascii_field:
orlov, interestingly, argued that high speed net is key in the modern usg 'panem et circenses' program and will chug along long after problems with supplying the basics of life have begun
nubbins`: this
orlov guy is fun to read, but JESUS does it ever send me on tangents
ascii_field: one of the few genuinely valuable nuggets in
orlov is his summary (for engl. folks) of how sov. supply chain had such abundant slack (no 'just in time' anywhere) that many folks had access to serious stashes of $good
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes actually i confess i do the same sort of obsessive rereading myself. tho perhaps not on
orlov and yarvin
