mircea_popescu: fwiw, actually cultivated people said this exact thing about the constantly re-heated ripple-ether-etc soup with "smart bullshit". but hey, who wants to read when there's all this daydreaming to do.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski the relationship with bitcoin is entirely spurious.
mircea_popescu: anyway, negative interest rates for fiats, such delicious cake. bring it!
mircea_popescu: and at least the hookers actually deliver, as opposed to that dummy "bitcoin chamber of derpitude" what's her face.
mircea_popescu: another "billionaire" item. fuck, average us expat spends more than that on hookers, be it in thailand or costa rica or whatever.
mircea_popescu: oh in other lulz : guy ran the numbers, discovered that miss america claims to spend 50mn a year ; actually spends 500k a year in scholarships for wiminz.
mircea_popescu: lemme fish him out im pretty sure i pissed on his face at some point
mircea_popescu: nah it's gonna be that unfunny faggot, what's his name. oliver something or the other.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo seems dubious this guy got the stones, but anyway. their fear is not unjustified. as you say - gotta happen.
mircea_popescu: buildiong a wall, what diff does it make. just as long as they die in 6 to 9 months.
mircea_popescu: i meant it above, take the whole aspirational 14%, that's about 50 to 70 mn citizens, from everyone who ever wrote for gawker to everyone who ever worked in washington, set them somewhere in the desert, put barbed wire all around them, and work them to death.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo no, the guy is right. ideally, the guy literally sets phil plait, his family, matthew inman, his partner or whatever, and everyone else of the ilk on fire.
mircea_popescu: iguess we could call them infantilist-etatist-libertarians if "socialism" is too broad for the notion.
mircea_popescu: this notion of "liberty means i can do anything i want and mom will mop up the jizz when i'm done" really depends on you know, the mom in question being present.
mircea_popescu: but there is in fact an externality here. either "you" can go only some places, and "he" can go only some places ; or else "you" can go anywhere, but he can't. there isn't a way where everyone can go anywhere.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: gernika what, you mean for everyone ? socialist-libertarian ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo maybe not so tragic. the debate's all the more heated for lack of a means to quench it :D
mircea_popescu: would be epic if he won and it became fashionable and so every faggot with a "fashion sense" in california ended up wearing the toup.
mircea_popescu: you should see how butthurt the ar wanna-be "intellectual leaders" are at him lol.
mircea_popescu: he's just impopular with the #niunamenos middleaged concern trolls with govt job aspirations throughout the south.
mircea_popescu: trinque actually from what i hear he's crazy popular with the insurgent & revolutionary non-governments of mexico.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski well, knowledge dun enter much into it, does it.
mircea_popescu: not so. i actually am one, they don't think i'm a genius. trump .... isn't, let's put it mildly.
mircea_popescu: gernika i meant it metaphorically. it's the dumb idea that broke hitler.
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder well, he'll kick some ass, then go invade russia and that'll be that.
mircea_popescu: rarely has there been a more truthfully representative politician seen in any democratic race. worldwide, historically.
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder in honesty, he seems a lot more adequate to the spirit, needs and aspirations of the place than anyone else since, perhaps, kennedy. he is EXACTLY the "fake it" bullshitter americans have become. and his "figures" are exactly the "engagement numbers" of "online businesses".
mircea_popescu: o wait, they do this "share hot tub with random people" thing now don't they
mircea_popescu: anyway, young country, no political experience, no culture, no history, no nation, no language, no nothing. curse of youth is to be stupid in this way.
mircea_popescu: and this is the point : they keep pushing the "debate" to bury this point. usg wants people to actually believe "civilisation is good for you ; and please don't look at how EVERY SINGLE TIME the barbarian rapes the colon"
mircea_popescu: that he doesn't have clinton's alleged advaqntages (to quote the baffler derp, "hyper prepared") is such a large advantage nothing ELSE the woman can do matters.
mircea_popescu: trinque the important narrative here, very much in the achilean vein, is that BECAUSE he isn't "sophisticated" which really means corrupted, ie "civilised" enough THEREFORE he can't win.
mircea_popescu: only took them ~half the time to lose everything that it took to build.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo gernika guy wasn't even in the room or anything was he ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_deadfiber make some falsifiable prediction and attach an "i will forever renounce my heretic views about the usg mattering in any sense" to it already.
mircea_popescu: ascii_deadfiber wouldn't that be the best of all possible words, he's actually dead and has been for weeks. like that chinese emperor.
mircea_popescu: "o no guise, we were all in on it, it's been all a farce all along!1111!"
mircea_popescu recalls with some amusement the certain certainness of various derps, "professional" as well as amateur, ritously explaining how trump won't get the nomination.
mircea_popescu: gernika designated being the key word here. like you know, elaine's moment when she realises that if she claims her rapist is her boyfriend, she's no longer the office skank but just a woman in love.
mircea_popescu: yeah. it's usually the designated loss monkey that wins and then beheads everyone who ever dreamed of "designating"
mircea_popescu: now they're whining about how "an independent run about non-trump ''conservatives''' would be ''devastating''". what fucking conservatives ? moreover, weren't they NOT whining about the actual disaster of trump running without them, winning and then that's that for the gop ?
mircea_popescu: must suck to be so out of people, seriously now. can't behead the da, notwithstanding corruption debacle, because well... can't find anyone that could sign his name in his stead, and the indians aren't shipping any more replacements. can't this, can't that...
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone's disputing the average college graduate is useless to everyone and a burden to himself.
mircea_popescu: lol. sure, sure. let it play out then, what can i tell you.
mircea_popescu: ascii_deadfiber gotta structure the braindamaged page somehow i guess. the wunderbar reality, always surprising.
mircea_popescu: they only care about themselves. if you get all of them in the camps, there's absolutely nobody left that'd even fucking notice.
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder see, that's the problem : if the aspie 14% ended up in south western version of auschwitz, with 3% survival rates, ~nobody with a us passport would as much as raise an eyebrow.
mircea_popescu: bucket and trowel in hand, on a steady diet of worm castles.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo imagine, if all the various "intellectual leaders" on the basis of the accomplishment of having been so epithet'd by the "opinion formers" of the atlantic & gawker end up having to work 12 hours a day building a wall in arizona.
mircea_popescu: yeah. but that doesn't change the fact the ~only intellectual in the entire north of the continent is that old jew talking to himself in a room.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i am the only intellectual leader of the united states.
mircea_popescu: the poor didn't get enough from obama. the socialists are getting trashed.
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder more like, to the core of the 83% ish white unemployed hopeless us populace.
mircea_popescu: dude's about ten times more likely to win and send her to a work camp.
mircea_popescu: ashley feinberg over at bankrupter rubbing her dry snatch raw over some bizarro fantasy where "trump quits after he wins".
mircea_popescu: i find it kinda amusing that the derps keep losing the same way, and keep going at it the same way.
mircea_popescu: ie, on the fact that washington "insiders" are VERY butthurt ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is this based of that derp in the baffler or anything else ?
mircea_popescu: i guess if we had a bitbet this'd have gone pretty high huh.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo SA forced meme failure rate's been over 80% ever since the great cancer of 2002ish neh ?
mircea_popescu: sooo... clinton's trove of emails actually proves the us & nato deliberately destroyed lybia. you still think she's got a chance alf ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there isn't going to be a us academia to pay you a pension, keep that in mind.
mircea_popescu: it's not the dao that's fucked. on the battlefield of the future, which is right here, the usg.vc idiots got raped and their bowels strung out to dry on fences, and now the hot core of usgism, mit & cornell and all are fighting for dear life
