decimation: "(
I actually have great sympathy for the professional. In a bureaucratic oligarchy like ours, the professional both rules and is ruled. At the top, there is no one on top of him.

Sovereignty is conserved; it is always humans who rule; and yet, it seems that no one rules. Who gets to put his hand on the wheel? He can

I find quite interesting about the other side? Under the leadership of the former Speaker [Pelosi], and under the leadership of their former leader [Rep. Steny Hoyer], when in 2009 and 2010, they had the House, the Senate and the White House, and they knew this problem existed, he continued. They didnt have the strength to go after it back then. But now are trying to make a political issue out of it now.
chetty: well
I dont think she was trying to get into his pants

DreadKnight:
I see;

DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, you do this thing where you start linking 2 more of your previous blog posts in the middle of the one
I'm reading when things are getting interesting, it's like a psychological hook

mircea_popescu: it used to be half the girls, when
i was 15. by now it's maybe one in ten ? twenty ?
mircea_popescu: <decimation>
I'm convinced that one of the reasons that pre-WWII germany spiraled out of control was because people who were able to make something of themselves had already left 50 years earlier << this is actually a pretty good theory.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> fuckitall. watched that clip, now

decimation: honestly
I think the old guy who grew up speaking Texas German has a better claim on "germanness" then some kid who was brainwashed with post WWII allied propaganda
decimation: somewhere in the logs
I linked to a modern German who expressed absolute dismay at "german culture" in America
decimation: The British newspaperman visited America around 1898
I think, he mentioned the terrible might of America and express fear that they could invade ... England

decimation:
I wonder what Friedrich would say about today's Deutschland?
mircea_popescu:
i suspect any good myth has a dose of nonfactual commonplace thought.
mircea_popescu:
i suppose the success of socialism may trace to this, that it has no mythical age in the past.
mircea_popescu: decimation
i kinda say it too. and probably anyone with a clue that ever saw him.
decimation: "
I got to have the pleasure of defending women from the barbs and negs of my player friends only to watch these same women
i defended end up going home to sleep with them. My brain simply could not comprehend what the fuck was going on. What the fuck is wrong with these women? Oh Wait!
I?m not allowed to question that."
mircea_popescu:
I deserved it for being unattractive. You deserved it for being too attractive. We both got fucked and not in the way we wanted it. You had no power and had violation inflicted upon you.
I had no power or right to feel like a human being inflicted upon me. You were penetrated against your will. Feminism and woman bent me over and fucked me up the ass while laughing at me. We both wanted death. Yet
i was a source of rid
mircea_popescu: In fact, you could call this my own personal rape.
Im sure women will be up in arms for me calling it that, but what is the criteria for it?
I feel shame.
I am unable to talk about it with others.
I will invariably be blamed for the outcome
i suffered because of the way *
I* acted. Being beta was wearing a miniskirt. Acting like a NiceGuy was being overly flirtatious. Respecting women and pedestalizing th
mircea_popescu: the guy
i linked is actually noteworthy because he takes the dilution of rape one step further : he claims his experience's been rape.

cgcardona:

I know the shame that will bring on me here)
cgcardona: but
I guess that was the point of the excersise at all so you’re probably not surprised
cgcardona: MP -
I saw that you answered me that noone has taken you up on the ether.
I’m kinda surprised.
cgcardona: ah ok yea
