asciilifeform: why even use a legacy system like irc then

asciilifeform: whole point is to blur the distinction between 'human text' and pgpgram, no ?
asciilifeform: (which presumably was the point of the proposal - make the enemy expend human labour to distinguish pgpgrams, rather than the present condition of being able to do so mechanically)
asciilifeform: anywhere where naked eye might encounter it
asciilifeform: i for one am not looking forward to ~ever~ having to mentally filter this diarrhea out of conversation
asciilifeform: for the record, imho this is a disastrously bad idea

asciilifeform: everybody wants an everything 'pliable to no one but me.' 'i want a meat edible to me but not flies.' 'grain for me but not mice.' 'unix box for me but not usg.' etc

asciilifeform: let's say usg had not supplied the goat fuckers with modern rockets, infinite ammo, food, etc. then what, precisely, would've distinguished them from the red indians ?
