mircea_popescu: yes, they're all soviets. slightly hungry pissed off low level grunt soviets vs fatcat libertard soviets.
mircea_popescu: like soviet union was on both sides of THAT chessboard.
mircea_popescu: throw rocks at the media, force them to pick the "evil people" narrative.
mircea_popescu: obviously you can't make "the media" aka usg agitprop machine unhave all the vans and ex-sorority chicks and whatnot. so the only practical solution when you can't prevent them acting on their options is to limit their options to one.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the rules for successful are very simple : a) throw rocks ; b) no media.
mircea_popescu: a reality show, and by the time Naomi Klein got there I had already been told to expect someone like her. Do you see? She had already appeared before she got there. Yes, I can take pride in thinking for myself but if I'm going to be honest, all I'm doing is reacting to what I'm told
mircea_popescu: The reason "peaceful protests" don't work anymore is because now the protests are slower than the media coverage. When they threw the tea in Boston Harbor it was urgent, immediate, and by the time the press could interpret it it had already been digested by the public. But now even before the protest reaches critical mass the media, whose agents outnumber the protestors 100 to 1, has packaged and produced it, like

mircea_popescu: i still haven't figured out if he loves immutable (ie, tar) or else volatile (ie, party bits).
mircea_popescu: jurov thinking about it, the non-people's desire to not-exist is pungent. palpable. yet they keep getting their ways out denied, "oh, war is bad", "oh, suicide is the wrong answer" or blablabla. can't even lick lead paint anymore, can't ride without helmets, honestly we deserve everything we get for stubbornly keeping the dead alive against nature and its own fucking wishes.
mircea_popescu: i suppose actually the eachday.txt is the log already.
mircea_popescu: why not ? could just make directory structure like trilema does it, by year/month/eachday.txt
mircea_popescu: you know, 100mb every day ? what is this, the blockcain ?
mircea_popescu: wasn't that your idea ? that in fabled south america people didn't actually invent the telenovela ?

mircea_popescu: i would expect less than 1% odds of them ACTUALLY being sexual assault, and perhaps as little as 5-10% of them being some sort of contravention.

mircea_popescu: (legal precedent :
http://trilema.com/2013/the-endless-story-of-korea/#selection-81.0-81.349 aka "Plaintiff seeks to make his case solely upon the theory that, by reason of the change in the weight of the dollar he is entitled to $1.69 in the present currency for every dollar promised by the bond, regardless of any actual loss he has suffered with respect to any transaction in which his dollars may be used. We think th
mircea_popescu: "does this mean i sell the government a truckload of pork and it pays me for it three times ?" "no dummy, it means that if you do enter into a contract with them to sell them one truckload of pork you a) will never get paid and b) will have to deliver three truckloads. yearly. daily. fuck you!!1"
mircea_popescu: exactly. ie, the usg needs, for continued survival, to count all its money TWICE
mircea_popescu: "More substantively—and this is what I want to focus on in this post—“paying” for highway spending with Fed capital is not paying for it at all in any economically meaningful sense. Rather, this maneuver is a form of budgetary sleight-of-hand that would count funds that are already designated for the Treasury as “new” revenue."
mircea_popescu: " but they find easy money too seductive, and S. 190 goes down in flames before a horde of political activists chanting that easy money is sound, and opposing it is racist, nazi, ignorant, and generally hateful"
mircea_popescu: "The House voted Thursday to pay for planned highway construction by drawing on the Federal Reserve’s capital. The idea of using Fed capital to pay for government spending, which comes up periodically, is a bad one, for several reasons."

mircea_popescu: i confess i was reading all through the (very fine!) tlp piece on narcissus expecting a kafka reference at any point
mircea_popescu: anyway : kafka is exactly right, and this is where the siren story meets narcissus' story.
mircea_popescu: inept kids just imagine "art was revolutionezed and the old thrown out". not so, but who can be arsed to discuss the matter with novices in their terms.
