mircea_popescu: yeah but what i'm saying is that this mmm and the 1990s historical item aren't much related

mircea_popescu: the slovaks are incompetent fuckwits. this, because there's so few of them it's cheaper to pretend like they're a country than to seek someone else's administration.
mircea_popescu: and the nonsense says that both the theoretical position you seek to defend is rubbish, and that the la times article you seek to defend it with is both rubbish and wouldn't defend it even if it weren't, and the it were defensible.
