a field where pretty girls labored with their hands forever.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ay by the industries of Catalonia and the Basque Country. For Spain to be made healthy, they have to be destroyed. The German Chief of Staff Wolfram von Richthofen listened thunderstruck then recited to Mola all the reasons why it was madness to destroy
a country’s industrial base, telling him that ‘I have never in my life heard such idiocy’
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Mola wanted Sperrle to destroy Basque industry. With Bilbao about to fall to the Nationalists, this request disconcerted the German.

mircea_popescu: -five years! The Bastard! Who can imagine,' he struck his chest with his fist, 'what women mean to
a prisoner?'
mircea_popescu: 'Yes, yes, something to love!' Ruska took him up in
a triumphant, hoarse whisper. 'But not history or theory -you can only love
a woman!' He leaned over to Nerzhin's bunk and grasped him by the elbow. 'What have they really taken away from us, tell me? The right to go to party meetings or to buy state bonds? The one way the Big Chief could really hurt us was to deprive us of women. And that's what he's done. For twenty
mircea_popescu: that sounds like
a great way to get yourself killed by your own children
chetty: hmm ok thats
a point, women with children only
mircea_popescu: pankkake it's
a midway solution : the women get the socialism they wanted, being all equal, and in this equality
a little above the average from before. nobody cares about the betas anyway, and the actual males that actually matter don't mind the arrangement so much.
mircea_popescu: the way socialism works in practice is making all the women of
a generation into
a college, and give common ownership over them to
a selection of men.

mircea_popescu: "Slaves, Sewers and Captain Aguilera: Racism, colonialism and sexism in the Mentality of the Nationalist Officer Corps" asciilifeform i suspect this is going to be
a little lopsided
a retelling.
mircea_popescu: vlad the impaler can keep the peace in the middle of
a warzone. john the stupid can't keep peace on an island.
Mats_cd03: .hk is
a twister of inequality...one of the safest metros in the world
chetty: well crowdsourcing seems to be
a pretty natural response to over regulation
mircea_popescu: somehow everyone speaking at the same time results in cacophony but nevertheless "crowdsourcing". isn't this
a bit dissonant ?
chetty: (well not wasting money is how
a lot of people get to be rich ..oh and companies do well)
mircea_popescu: every fucktard with
a college loan "looking to start
a family" owns "multiple homes". out of which he and the girl will move out, to save on the rent.
mircea_popescu: "And also like you, I have been rewarded obscenely for my success, with

a minimum of $30 million to $40 million and from five to eight years of research time, Klinefeldt said."
BingoBoingo: I imagine in the new republic Security Theater will be
a place people go to in order to watch follies of the failed republic reenacted
chetty: security theater is
a giant sucking on time/resources
mircea_popescu: decimation: my biggest objection to the security theater is that it always devolves into
a war on anything unusual << i think that's everyone's objection.
mircea_popescu: decimation: mainly because I am unwilling to hand verizon or comcast
a single penny if I can avoid it << so what, using diy internets ?
mircea_popescu: it's
a ~15 yo verified business acct. and it only failed one payment in
a batch.

a different payment method. We are not able to process your payment using your PayPal account at this time. Please return to the merchant's website and try using

a discussion with

a comcast "business" account to get 100 meg
dub: BingoBoingo: I like how the journalist is
a butthurt creditor too
artifexd: It isn't that I think Brazil is
a better team. They're not. I think the refs are paid off.
