mircea_popescu: ya sure. and if i were fucking starving, what exacty difference;d it make to you ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what starvation. are you proposing i'm BUYING my shit ?
mircea_popescu: consequently, /me suspects that this is more an artefact of incompetence and fear than actual nature.
mircea_popescu finds this somewhat puzzling, he has no problem competing with other men of any age. had no problem at 16 sitting 50yos on their ass, has no problem at 36 sitting 16 26 or w/e idem. i've yet to hear this magical "i'd rather go with him, he's younger" thing even.
mircea_popescu: they have exactly your problem, "do not wish to compete with younger men"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem is their ideas of self worth are not accepted either place.
mircea_popescu: now the russians have the pincer on and there's exactly nothing the us can do to rebalance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it worked, too. the us managed to get yet another ally for isis, at the cost of destructuring its mideastern holds.
mircea_popescu: which is why old men make good senators and horrible dictators.
mircea_popescu: not that he didn't want to. but, old men are cowardly, regardless of what they were in their youth.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter notice that stalin also didn't move against beria
mircea_popescu is kinda curious to see how that'd have went. three different presidents wanted to sack the schmuck but gave up because "political cost too great". ie, mansion.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck did they not do that to hoover, if they were that brave ?
mircea_popescu: trinque the day the retired head of the spyhouse is excruciated in public over ANY THING you know the place's dead.
mircea_popescu: part of parcel of why actual people do not wish to live in the land of the dumb.
mircea_popescu: and of fucking course bush would not gain it, whatever the fuck he does.
mircea_popescu: yeah, the jews resisting the flames through culture all went to the castle in the mind.
mircea_popescu: many of them smaller than whatever you currently occupy.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, tons of mansions throughout the world. from romania to sudan and from albania to pakistan.
mircea_popescu: even if the house itself may be the size of a contemporary town.
mircea_popescu: doth not make the exceptionally large log cabin a "town house".
mircea_popescu: that a 1789 nigger may be allowed to build himself a log cabin the size of the washington momunent
mircea_popescu: there is at no point any fucking question of a) being required to take her back in or b) being required to give up the mansion.
mircea_popescu: let's start with a simple thing. if x owns a mansion, and x owns a wife, and x beats the shit out of his wife and throws her into the street naked to henceforth fend for herself,
mircea_popescu: fucking us president, still lives worse than his grandfather,
mircea_popescu: and this is what i meant earlier re "revolutionary term of art". there's this notion that members of the proletariat fight each other over imaginary class distinctions instead of uniting.
mircea_popescu: the breaking news being that no, x doesn't exist. all soviets live like animals.
mircea_popescu: or so you posit. because "x gotta exist, and y is the more likely to succeed".
mircea_popescu: so then if you yourself don't accept the thing you propose as proof, as proof, what do you want from me!
mircea_popescu: nobody's getting "anally dilated" in prison dude. wake up and smell the coffee, erections are rare.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: seems the basic definition of mansion includes "off limits to police"
mircea_popescu: i meant more like "this no longer happens but it continues to happen for me only". it's nonsense.
mircea_popescu: whereby you can somehow magically be a thing of the past only.
mircea_popescu: this thing only works in the mind of soon-to-be-smoke jews.
mircea_popescu: if it were possible to have one i'd consider getting one.
mircea_popescu: i dunno dude. it does not seem to me possible to even have a mansion in the land of "we rent - unfurnished!" and "building code" etc.
mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem with formalism is that it doesn't practically yield anything past bad "art".
mircea_popescu: you famously also thought random rotinculo/mortidifame journos are the wealthy elite.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall the revolutionary term of art, but nevertheless, ideas formed on the basis of stuff glimpsed through the gps machine are not reliable.
mircea_popescu: also the only cln seems to mean to me is a credit linked note.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform get a different citizenship, deny you ever had us citizenship, let them prove otherwise.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla> how the latter flows from it < dishonest software does not require honest hardware the way i see it << more or less unrelated. dishonest accountand doesn't require dishonest FED nor vice-versa
mircea_popescu: newton's aunt, einstein'swife and mozart's sister were not as fortunate
