mircea_popescu: “The Chinese coolie is the ideal industrial machine, the perfect human ox. He will transform less food into more work, with less administrative friction, than any other creature...Also, they cost nothing but money.” << from what i understand this is getting fixed these days.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the ww2 hostilities were a mutually ratcheting of various acts, i don't see the argument. if they sold to japan it would have been === selling to germany.
mircea_popescu: lest the reader be confused, let it be pointed out that pre ww1, the united states carried about as much credit in europe (aka, the world) as argentina does today. hardly anyone gave a shit about them, and the us president visiting couldn't get a hotel room on credit.
mircea_popescu: and how ? for one thing, "usg" scarcely mattered at the time. for the other, thebrits denied the russians their ports.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the observation that pearl harbour was just exactly as much a dog and pony show of "no one could have foreseen" as the 9/11 stuff is important.
mircea_popescu: maybe 3 in a hundred hollywood movies about "Science fiction" are anything even vaguely out of the mold of thinly veiled nigger wank.
mircea_popescu: which is why they keep "stealing our wiminz", are all "half demon half child", and always run by a brood mother which sprouts indistinct babies without a father.
mircea_popescu: anyway. vampirism and the interest thereof has traditionally been a gay outlet ; not peculiarly a race outlet. the race outlet (in the us, which is ~the only place that cares) has traditionally been "aliens", which are almost always niggers.
mircea_popescu: maybe he was really good with the gab. it's been known to happen.
mircea_popescu: btw, the dude that impregnated four "corrections officers" while in jail ? terrence white, at the time boss of "black guerilla family" which apparently is a sort of black crips/mob device
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i'm pretty much convinced by now that what the ro crowds actually meant in 1989 by "wanting western democracy" was "we want italian tv"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ftr gentoo was never much more than a derpy hipsterism in my book.
mircea_popescu: darn i keep highlighting poor diametric when i want to say diana_coman
mircea_popescu: diametric you know that excellent mastroianni scene where the fatties eat up palermo ?
mircea_popescu: sigh. see, this is the problem with trying to be a mad dictator in a rational way. everyone spokes your wheels!
mircea_popescu: diana_coman they also make excellent women in the south, but...
mircea_popescu: i'd have gone the other way around. burn the italians.
mircea_popescu: to think the nazis allied with them and wanted to burn the fucking gypos.
mircea_popescu: as most stupid shit in this country. or, come to think about it, ther world over.
mircea_popescu: diametric yeah, ok, it's about italian level of idiocy.
mircea_popescu: there is literally no way to know whether he goes straight or right until he does it. and they're so horrible they don't drive straight anyway. so...
mircea_popescu: trinque these people don't signal turning, forget lane change. at least on the highway there's some basis to guess on the basis of impulse and make. but in the city ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger yeah. the difference being that while i wouldn't try to drive in cairo without getting a degree in it first, at least THEY manage to move things reasonably. here, i wouldn't drive unless i had an open license to kill and plentiful ammo, AND they have more traffic, fewer driven miles and more roads than anywhere in the world.
mircea_popescu: fucking crazed egyptians in cairo did a better job, and their idea of traffic lights was tooting the horn.
mircea_popescu: these people should be excommunicated from the planet just for the driving.
mircea_popescu: nope, need has created to innovation to date. they'll sit and rot and think what they do is driving.
mircea_popescu: it is so bad traffic here is 90% due to the people being unable to merge. and they're unable to merge because a) they don't signal and b) they're the sort of idiots that don't signal. and yet...
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, the argentines are THE WORST drivers. horribad. you know how latinos in the civilised world have a bad reputation ? well... im sure argentina is the reason for it. they signal ~1/3 of the time, you gotta guess they intend to turn or not - AND they have no conception of blinker fluid or any other way means or conceptual approach for the problem. it's just not fucking there. idjits.)
mircea_popescu: of course engines moved from carbureted to injected in the interval, but then again...
mircea_popescu: incidentalyl, someone bored enough should do a survey of nice on extant linux decayed forms. it'd be a pretty good way to diagnose the utter ruin of the ecosystem.
mircea_popescu: that's why real men code in c-fuss-fuss. F is for fast!
mircea_popescu: Framedragger i applaud her too, which is why her scrawny ineffectual efforts get a link. nevertheless, it can't be said she's effectual. she isn't.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger "cto" best part. nigga, you might be the first CORPORATE OFFICER / mexican illegal combo in history.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform men. you ever heard of women escape any sort of incarceration, that wasn't the owner coming to get the bitches back ?
mircea_popescu: (oh and one for the collectors, hey asciilifeform did you actually get chet to sign your copy ? iirc she signed less than half dozen all told.)
mircea_popescu: (and for the ego - back in 2004 when i published asylum editor was like "isn't this a little short ?". apparently i was merely being pioneeric, the notion of "book" dropped half the pages past two decades, from 300something to 150ish.)
mircea_popescu: maybe in 2017 people finally wake up to the realisation of how perfectly genre fiction at ~150 pages in paperback and of her exact vintage would fill the holes in their souls!
mircea_popescu: she isn't. she just hopes that 2007200820092020102011omgit'sbeenfiveyears!2012201320142015omfgwhere'sitallgone!2016 will be "the year of the hawk-cobra" or whatever the fuck. hey, it worked for that dumb broad, what's her name, that wrote those linkedin novels and sold them for 26 billion copies or what ? they even made a film about it, "whatsap!"
mircea_popescu: but to make it short and sweet : if she were the sort of six-deviations talented woman that'd benefit from what you imagine is "not having to show up in an office", she'd pointedly not be writing the sort of crap.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the film is bad, as a film. but for people entirely unwarare of what curse women are upon themselves in isolation... a decent primer i guess.
mircea_popescu: nah, some recent atrocity. a very insufferable woman lives a "civilised" life with her... mother, and postures a lot at work. her unwind is to sniff used rags in porn coinoperated booths.
mircea_popescu: at least if she went to an office there'd be the remote possibility of getting some.
mircea_popescu: what else are her options ? too old to be "looking to be black owned".
mircea_popescu: chick's ~30, has been eking out a miserable existence in suburban mass writing one of the shitty books a year. and working ass off on "social media".
mircea_popescu: anyway, lest the wrong impression forms - we don't have a good understanding of who did what to whom and why. it's not even clear we enumerated the classes of deeds that phuctor dredged up.
mircea_popescu: i think it's more a case of "the last person who knew how any of this worked left a decade ago, we're just idea guys"
mircea_popescu: yeah the numerous instances of "hey listen, your key being diddled IS NOT ABOUT YOU! you'd never fucking know!" managed to get ignored something fierce huh.
mircea_popescu: yes, there's a hat. now, about that table it sits on...
mircea_popescu: that's how the trick works, "but look at the hat, look at the hat"
mircea_popescu: i couldn't give less of a shit about the disparate bits of reality he tried to fashion a disavowal out of.
mircea_popescu: so, always go after the places where "nobody'd ever look because nothing could ever be found because nobody'd ever look". total snakecharm.
mircea_popescu: which is why this simple strategy is so effectual - magic tricks work by directing the chump's attention SPECIFICALLY because emulating reality is so damned expensive you can only economically do it in small installments. you'd better make damn sure that's where they're looking and ONLY where they're looking. nobody can fucking afford to give a coat of paint over EVERYTHING.
mircea_popescu: this approach is to be continued systematically. much like a principal wanting to root out the crips from school is best advised to start with checking homework.
mircea_popescu: what few know/recall today is that when we started it, the agreement was "it's not going to find anything".
mircea_popescu: it's the correct approach ; what yielded phuctor also.
