mircea_popescu: the
usg will have to decide if it claims sovereignity or does not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform $idiots here takes values from {set of dorks working for
usg thinking dicking around with freenode connectivity does something}
ben_vulpes: and moreover if anyone had heard of
usg.intel doing it as well, that's a) fake news b) old news and c) standard diplomatic behavior...for us
mircea_popescu: that's the codeword for non-
usg-compliant-orc : "corrupt".
mircea_popescu: but yes, "fight against corruption" === "
usg wants to steal your country"
ben_vulpes: challenge it on cultural diversity grounds: "baksheesh is how other cultures work, and this inane attempt to 'combat corruption' is really just thinly-disguised cultural imperialism justifying
usg statal overreach"
mircea_popescu: anyway. the bs is pretty thickly laid out, apparently dude at the center of all this is
usg agent who got 20mn to try and overturn the govt but then stole the money ? or somesuch
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the fake news apparently believes australia === malcolm turnbull ; even as it firmly believes usa != donald trump. how the fuck is it that committing the
usg to liberating australia from the unwelcome and illegitimate socialist leadership is to be confused with "war on australia" ? when they invaded europe it was "war on hitler" not "war on europe"
a111: Logged on 2015-09-07 19:58 ascii_field: mats: the way it works is, there are precisely two kinds of permitted mass media in usa: 1)
usg 2)
usg crank bait
mircea_popescu: but yes, very much "creature of system". what's
usg oligarch to do ? not like he has any value to anyone else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're apparently unfamiliar with how the
usg works ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the only possible follow to the idiocy is, of course, the
usg declaring that it HAS!11 qc, and the ustards also believing.
trinque: aha, going around playing victim on the
usg.repub side every time people show up with signs at his events, which alternate between calling trump daddy and "ohmygod I'm so gay look look"
mircea_popescu: kinda conflix with the whoe "i am the alpha and the omega and there is no life outside of me"
usg preferred slant
BingoBoingo: <trinque> milo yiannopoulos isn't even far right. he's just a republican in the
USG sense, and also flamingly gay. << "Log Cabin Republican"
trinque: milo yiannopoulos isn't even far right. he's just a republican in the
USG sense, and also flamingly gay.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think we should just stop playing now, dat
usg is just too competent.
mircea_popescu:
usg does not exist and is not held here to signify anything but the "collective abject idiocy" aka "the female mind" aka "the community consensus" etc. it is specifically NOT the case that there exists something even vaguely in the vein you think of (ie, a powerful and directed, self-conscious
usg, the "lizard hitler" or such)
mircea_popescu: that's the whole comedy, and it's playing again and again and again and again. republic decides us elections ?
usg claims putin did it!
mircea_popescu: so then, this exact idiocy repeats itself time and again. 1.
usg.apple tells ustards to use $item-which-sets-all-passwords-as-p-independent-of-user-input ; 2. ustards do. 3. republic owns them, and puts them to whatever use more adequate to their tard genes, such as fap fodder, lulzcow, whatever. 4. the
usg comes up with a color of your bits "goes without saying".
mircea_popescu: "i was in the situation room" hillaric clinton's case was no different ; just that in the case of that old hag /
usg asset nobody is interested in ass.
mircea_popescu: she did this, no matter how stupid, because
usg told her to ; and when
usg says, she does, no matter how stupid. this is the core of her identity, she's not a woman, or a person, or a mother, or anything. she's, first and foremost, good soviet ; and anything else to the degree there's space (and
usg tells her to).
mircea_popescu: but, be that as it may, overflows are actually republic/other fiats speciality. it's how the
usg gets owned in general.
mircea_popescu: the above being the ENTIRETY of "
usg cyberwarfare capacity" by the way. that it got idiots (schneier, koch, weimer etc), to write software that sets p as password everywhere independent of user input and then ten million imbecile lusers to use that "because it's what everyone does" where everyone is so defined to exclude everyone sane.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform rd is definitionally not heart of
usg. try "health and human services expert analyst"
mircea_popescu: the funny thing being that nonsense converges. "civil" and "common" law systems end up giving almost identical "solutions" to the same problems notwithstanding they start from opposite priors. similarily, life of
usg mandarin is very much like life of say japanese company man.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you also don't have the sort of job they do. what's office drone in heart of
usg do, something TO STAND OUT ? holy shit.
mircea_popescu: the only hostis humani generis are the anonymous
usg tools. the gavin-koch-weimer-boeck-younameit.
mircea_popescu: that's what it pretends to be ; what it is i nfact, at least to my eyes, is more of the same
usg social-democracy.
mircea_popescu:
usg.starbucks doing its part to fight the "rapey mp coffee".
mircea_popescu: this is ~why fcc-like authorities exist. to forbid the
usg to buy and derp like this.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-19 16:28 mircea_popescu: yep.
usg banks won't do intl wires, for a decade+ now
mircea_popescu: conversely of course, every dollar you do take out of the us hurts the
usg considerably ; i'd guess the going rate is 130k expatriated is about equivalent to shooting a nypd officer in the face.
mircea_popescu: trinque "sales" here means
usg sops style nothing, like obamacare isn't a tax. his thing was mentioned once on a forum with 3k "registered users".
mircea_popescu: anyway, the "leverage ecosystem" ie, "someone else will do our work for us" is very much
usg.dos style, but also very much hopeless. seriously, they'll leverage ?
mats: 'accidentally' bombed a refugee camp like
usg accidentally bombed a chinese embassy
mircea_popescu: Ingolfr_Arnarson if you don't like the
usg messing with you, the solution is emplaced m-2 machine guns and zirconium-based armor-piercing/incendiary rounds. not silly pngs.
mircea_popescu: it turns out on meditation that the blue-and-red
usg as a matter of practical gnosis stands doubled by the subjective-objective vs need-want spurious equivalences. the charade promises "girls" that what they think is what is ; AND boys that what they want is what they need.
mircea_popescu: seems pretty much the only reasonable play.
usg is beyond fixing, so steal as much as possible.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-17#1604368 << "gender" has no bearing on the "indentity politics" construction of "gender". what mattered was that private bradley edward manning was with the
usg.dos and against the
usg.dod. as it doesn't look likely
usg.dos will even survive the trump terms, let alone ever again come to preminence, they'll do anything.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: anyways, to round off the whole linux/bsd, esr/rms/etc angle : at any point the Moterhood (be it implemented in practice as "the
USG" or "the public opinion" or "the church of England" or whatever the fuck - there will exist a conclave of the lazy, stupid and covetous, and it will be somewhat politically influential and appear VERY politically influential much like to the small children the mother appears truly awesome in her
mircea_popescu: he literally imagines that the difference isn't for the obvious reason (
usg decided to push x rather than y) but for some sort of self-aggrandizing "it's something we did which unwittingly made the cave walls move this way".
mircea_popescu:
usg came up with idea of hiding the tax burden under spurious headings, dorks imported it somehow. then ten years later "obamacare is not a tax". sa mori tu ?
mircea_popescu: hence all the "gotta educate the public". their process of "education" consists of taking healthy youths and spitting out useless drones. now if only this process could be extended to anything other than placid, cowardly middle class youth, the world would suddenly be habitable for the
usg!
mircea_popescu: and for the "we all agree" (that "sexual harassment is a thing" or "words hurt" or whatever other nonsense du jour) engine to work, the strict requirement is for "everyone" to be entirely a set of
usg drones. it's not even enough to pad theroom, it must be filled.
mircea_popescu: in any case the
usg "tax code" or "legal code" or any other pile of
usg-specific idiocy is NOT a schelling point.
