mircea_popescu: unthinkable, this.
pete_dushenski: canada has a strong moat of homegrown talent to further dissuade hollyrubes from entering, eg. celine dion, drake, bieber
mircea_popescu: you're telling me they're practically the establishment cocksucker, not worth a name much like the spittoon by the corner of the bar ain't worth a name ?!
mircea_popescu: you're telling me all the derpy pop starlets aren't bachs and mozarts and liszts of their own self ?!
mircea_popescu: you are now telling me that nobody gives a shit, that these ITEMS grow like mushrooms past money rain, and that if she leaves sbhe'll be forgotten in 5 minutes under a sea of nirvana-copycats ?
mircea_popescu: no really ? i thought "empty eyes what's her face" (check out the indian names lol) got worth and value in and of herself, and you know, she'll just leave and her fans will follow.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-09 20:58 mircea_popescu: so are there going to be a bunch of retarded "famous people" and other "stars" moving to canada ?
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1564980 << not bloody likely. such empty threats are the same fuel shillary used to fuel her campaign and that which crywhale's now emptily threaten to off themselves. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: " Think of how wrong the entire national media conversation was—and yes, I contributed my fair share—about how the Republicans were being torn apart as a party."
mircea_popescu: "The ace ground game, the brilliant ad-makers, the top Hollywood talent, and the best analytics operation ever assembled? This was all a joke."
mircea_popescu: "The voters of the party got taken for a ride by the people who controlled it, the ones who promised they had everything figured out and sneeringly dismissed anyone who suggested otherwise. They promised that Hillary Clinton had a lock on the Electoral College. These people didn’t know what they were talking about, and too many of us in the media thought they did." and so on.

mircea_popescu: bahamas' ineptitude, and the aparat's incompetence also helped, of course.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this just in : democratic party has ~same level of political clout / practical control as the libertarians traditionally do ; and significantly less cachet than the tea party at its peak. they're going to be content with... municipal politics, for the next 4+ years.
mircea_popescu: on the strength of their actually measured record, scored via brier or any other method you choose, lockin === silver, both of them somewhere in the morass of loud, potentially dangerous, practically useless idiots.

We’ll be watching, Nate.'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1564885 << his bile is unwarranted. silver the dope, locklin the dope, what the fuck's the difference. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: one doesn't need to look far ; just going by the daily precedent there's about 5k or so counts clinton can go to jail for, totalling about 1mn years or so.
mircea_popescu: "I believe that if President Trump instructs his special prosecutor Chris Christie or Rudy Giuliani to find a way to lock Hillary Clinton up, he would do so, gleefully, and that many millions of people will look on and feel that justice—whatever that means going forward—was done." << well nto those named, but yes, absolutely, and yes, absolutely.
mircea_popescu: so are there going to be a bunch of retarded "famous people" and other "stars" moving to canada ? ☟︎

a111: Logged on 2016-11-09 18:36 phf: "sad wine mom" says "When the top trending hashtags are #HesNotMyPresident #AmericaIsOverParty and #AmeriKKKa , it's obvious this is not what America wants."
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1564881 << yeah, because totally "america" is one tiny, culturally irrelevant backwater on that continent, in the sense of you know, what some dorks allegedly from there say on obscure myspace. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: plow cca 1800, one farmer could support two-five soldiers

asciilifeform: at any rate i personally plan to be very dead during this and hence it 'ain't my department'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's what walkers means ; and nope.
asciilifeform: i doubt that 'walkers' will, but working hands, feet, cunts, etc
mircea_popescu: but "major extinction event" here means, >99% of pop is exterminated in short time, such as a year or a decade.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform intrinsic in that proposition is the core of socialism, which is to say that walkers have value by presence alone. i doubt this is ever coming back. maybe in case of major extinction event
mircea_popescu: o look at that, clinton sendoff most read trilema article this month. this thing barely happens once a year.
asciilifeform: i'm not wholly convinced that anybody cancelled it. if industrial era of complicated machinery runs through, it'll be back to blood, soil, castles.
mircea_popescu: well... he does mean a specific thing, by that "blood and earth" thing, which is a pre-modern notion of the value of money.
PeterL: mircea_popescu the Krugman quote I was kinda trying to turn into a joke about Trump being labeled winner here, I dun think it came across right

a111: Logged on 2016-11-09 17:53 PeterL: any people here have thoughts are US and Russia going to be buddies now?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1564876 << not likely. but the whole "iraq offensive" is going away, and possibly ru will stand down in syria (nobody really likes the cost of a war past the first few weeks). so in that sense, yes. ☝︎
asciilifeform: in fact i can think of very, very few things i would rather do.
asciilifeform: and if mr. t sells tickets to the chop house, or even to drive bulldozer to bulldoze harvard, yale, mit -- i will buy.
asciilifeform: got friends - to also help.
asciilifeform: as a boy i was quite impressed with the stories about peter I and his beheadings, his men had to work in shifts to decap all of the derps, and he personally helped, even chopped during parties
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's tru.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-09 17:30 PeterL: Krugman: "For them, it is about blood and soil, about traditional patriarchy and racial hierarchy.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1564872 << since when the fuck is blood and soil / assorted nazism "antidemocratic" ? socialism is the fucking essence of modern democracy. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2016-11-09 14:57 PeterL: am I the only one who thinks it is insulting women to expect them to vote hillary just because she is a woman?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1564836 << well, the niggers are racist. they despise women, black people, everyone. so yes, a nigger DOES expect all women to vote on the basis of such superficial nonsense. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: nobody gives a shit about the entirely hallucinated "sex issue" ? and women don't mind being grabbed by select gents ? O NOES WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED!

PeterL: why do you have to throw out the whole state of Michigan because a bunch of country bumpkins outnumbered us morally superior city folks?
PeterL: phf yeah, I saw that, I was just saying that the map would look different if you look at counties instead of states
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/Uesuf >> 'While he richly deserves to find his proper station in life as an opinionated taxi driver, this clown is unfortunately likely to be with us for years to come, bringing shame on the profession of quantitative analysis of data. We’ll be watching, Nate.' ☟︎
