mircea_popescu: <decimation> asciilifeform: one wonders why enterprising individuals from civilized countries don't invade africa, clear out locals, and start a proper city-state << !s balls

mircea_popescu: hearnright. i think that's the definition of a successful attack :) don't get me wrong. i'd like to see core restart itself if it crashes <<< riiight.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform main reason why the universality of the wot is such an important prerequisite for a livable world and general hapiness.

mircea_popescu: i suppose next in line, neobee for a different island. since it worked so well the first time.

mircea_popescu: hasn't keiser already tore himself a fifty asshole with his involvement in the icelandic coin scam ?

mircea_popescu: would be "good citizens" always know better, a la prikoke

mircea_popescu: worth a quote, he basically says what i've been saying to would-be "good citizens" to relatively little effect.

mircea_popescu: would have had more than ample character for a tranquil period. But the epoch of grandiose social and political convulsions demanded an extraordinary firmness of these men, whose abilities secured them a leading place in the revolution. The disproportion between their abilities and their wills led to tragic results.

mircea_popescu: [By contrast] For ten years they [Zinoviev and Kamenev] had been enveloped by clouds of slander paid for in heavy gold. For ten years they had swayed between life and death, first in a political sense, then in a moral sense, and lastly in a physical sense. Can one find in all past history examples of such systematic, refined and fiendish destruction of spines, nerves and all the fibers of the soul? Zinoviev or Kamenev

mircea_popescu: n intellectual circles, of the conduct in court of Danton, Robespierre and others. These were the instances of revolutionary tribunes who found the knife of justice suspended over them, directly in the midst of the arena of struggle; at a time when they were in the full flower of their strength, with their nervous system almost untouched and, at the same time, when they despaired of all hope of salvation.

mircea_popescu: I have had the occasion to hear tranquil petty bourgeois tell me in the days between the beginnings of the trial and my internment: “It’s impossible to understand Zinoviev … He is so lacking in character!” And I would reply: “Have you yourselves experienced the full weight of the pressure to which he has been subjected for a number of years?” Unintelligent in the extreme are the comparisons, so widespread i

mircea_popescu: now THERE'S a peculiar if well documented biological fact : how the fuck can such a drastically -ev strategy be and remain a schelling point.

mircea_popescu: worst fucking career choice, joining the "people party". being a boxer is degree of magnitudes a smarter move.

mircea_popescu: "What an example to the proletariat! He had to die, anyway, so he might at least have died in a way that did the Party some good!"

mircea_popescu: yet nobody is doing this. why isn't holder a constant prop in the courtroom, showing why any testimony by a police officer should be discounted by the jury ?

mircea_popescu: hopefully a republican wins before the whole shebang collapses and we get to see it.

mircea_popescu: at trial, it is established beyond reasonable doubt that your negligence in locking the door allowed "some bad people" to come and rape the lot of you, a week after it actually hapepned

mircea_popescu: what really happened is that a) they had the keys all along and b) had been tailing you all over town, listening in on your phone conversation, instant messaging and late night cuddle sessions

mircea_popescu: this last for a week or so.

mircea_popescu: one day a bunch of dudes come in, start raping the women and make the lot of you slurp the cum right out of their battered snatches.

mircea_popescu: you and a dozen friends all marry super-knockout trophy wives, living in a gated community called "the garden of eden", doing all sorts of fun shit.

mircea_popescu: you know it's untruthfully because it's a usg agent.

mircea_popescu: taking two girls eager to swallow if you need to take a leak however..

mircea_popescu: see, this is why taking two girls to a cafe isn't such a big deal.

mircea_popescu: At around 5 am, on the morning of July 18, 1981, six weeks after getting out of prison, Jack Abbott and two women, Veronique de St. Andre and Susan Roxas, went to a small cafe called the Binibon, located at 79 Second Ave in Manhattan. Richard Adan, a 22-year-old aspiring actor and playwright, was there working as a waiter in his father-in-law's restaurant. Abbott got up from his table and asked Richard Adan to direct h

mircea_popescu: for a while there you could steal anyone's car just by pretending to be them, like with a twitter account

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (what's it about in reality? real-time tracking of all meat inventory. and, with a little more magic - your car is own gasenwagen when time comes.) << they already had a pilot for this. amusingly, it was sold as an expensive ad on for luxury brands. northstar or something.

mircea_popescu: say DoctorBTC you have some visitors a la http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/08/25/a-law-enforcement-encounter-if-you-ran-a-bitcoin-related-service-before-the-thing-hit-100-you-prolly-ought-to-be-somewhat-concerned-andor-prepared/ ?

mircea_popescu: i guess this is the birth of "clam chowder" as a slang way to denote piss, on the expectation that well... average cunt is delighted to chomp on a jet.

mircea_popescu: there is, ofcourse, a trilema article about this :D

mircea_popescu: which... it is. just like code written picemeal by freelancer php developers will shock and amaze anyone who ever took a systems design class

mircea_popescu: in general anyone with a solid education reading enough law and praxis to form an opinion inescapably forms the opinion that "this shitpile is made by remarkably uneducated folks"

mircea_popescu: trying to make the law democratic by sourcing it in a parliament and applying it according to "what people think" can't possibly work and yhas no alternative but to degrade into soup

mircea_popescu: anyway, law as (mis)practiced in the us suffers greatly from a broken application. the legal system exists and is borne out of a wider social system based on hierarchy and personal sovereignity. such as, the classical monarchy.

mircea_popescu: the very fucking point of the legal system as an interllecual exercise is as a reality digitizer.

mircea_popescu: "Why aren’t there any in-between verdicts?" << this cant be a good summary.

mircea_popescu: you know calling trollage "a troll" makes baby jesus a cry.

mircea_popescu: trivializing actual issues in a neverending quest for online cred is definitely working so well for everyone o.o

mircea_popescu: <assbot> Woman claims she has PTSD from Twitter and cyberstalking | Mail Online <<< yeah, and im sure any guy with actual trechn exposure under artillery carpet bombing is more than happy to not smack her a coupla across the skull.,

mircea_popescu: cazalla why wouldn't she ? if you spoke to a black country miner cca 1800 he'd think any hole in the ground is as much a mine as any other if it pays

mircea_popescu: and from there to rape glamor is a short path indeed. and it will not be because what mp said about rape,

mircea_popescu: meanwhile at white knight central, http://tallguy-64.deviantart.com/art/Humiliated-Black-and-White-265791060 "black and white version of a picture I did a while ago to help spread awareness of social injustice"

mircea_popescu: "This picture presumably shows a rival who has been beaten and is being humiliated by the man and his gang"

mircea_popescu: so because the us forces insane people into homelessness while medicating the shit out of kids and young adults that'd benefit immensely from a good beating,
