time.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
this reduces
the discussion
to "there's
two kinds of bipedals,

trenches.
mircea_popescu: there's a list of cases where "attacked party produced more damage

tapering -- much more cases in
the 80s
than in
the 2010s.
mircea_popescu: (also amusingly, nobody, not even a latter day
tsp, dared make
the obvious point -- moral assassin,
the hotel guard.)
mircea_popescu: makes one wonder how many of
these weren't disturbed by "security", never shot anyone.

to whether falling into pit from pressure of squirming mob will do more damage
than gunfire./
mircea_popescu: meanwhile,
the fucking fun
that could be had. "buy gun, carry on person, use metro all day long, wait for a power outage where
train goes dark"
mircea_popescu: but seriously, metro!
think about it, people line up

thing.)
mircea_popescu: "i can scarcely apprehend
the confusion of ideas" etc.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, speaking of orc
techs, could oyu believe
that schmuck in new york ? so... in preference of walking into gun shop, buying gun, killing half
the
town,
this dude "made" bomb, which sure as fuck cost more
than a walk-in in
terms of effort and more
than a grand in
terms of dough,
to... burn himself with it.
mircea_popescu: but it sure is ~actually~
transgressive, as opposed
to expectedly.
mircea_popescu: "she was a (((journalist))) (((working))) in irak,
the dumb fucking bitch. man
that wet
thud of her brain on concrete was fucking satisfying, i went back into
the foxhole and rubbed myself raw"
mircea_popescu: suppose you're 16yo girl. are you going

transgressive except for how she read you were gonna do
that in a book when you were 6 ; or b) join isis so as

the cuntbrain works.
