mircea_popescu: i doubt he's all that stable. he doesn't look it in any case.

decimation: My language was imprecise: I meant that that he would be the object of common hatred

decimation: at any rate I'm sure that these hick canidates will be promoted so that their hatred can become a shared experience for their political enemies

mircea_popescu: for some reason i prefer to link articles.

pete_dushenski_: mircea_popescu: and i also like that you linked "contravex" directly to the troll article rather than the homepage. i take that as a seal o' approval :)

mircea_popescu: DanielKrawisz_ i infuriate easily.

DanielKrawisz_: I got logged off so now I have an underscore at the end of my name.

DanielKrawisz_: Ok, I got in.

decimation: might as well label themselves "I am a kulak, crush my shit"

mircea_popescu: such smallness. i had no idea there's so much tiny at hand.

Dimsler: i can't read american publications

DanielKrawisz_: Yeah, I spelled it wrong.

mircea_popescu: does not mean i had something in the vein of the complex set theory that eventualy did it.
