phf: asciilifeform: i've no idea why deedbot key is old, presumably it's fed from
the same place
that i use
to up, and
that's been refresh. i have
the correct copy in btcbase's wot,

trinque: so, phf was
the second after asciilifeform
to have a key expire. we should probably discuss how
this should be handled going forward.
BingoBoingo: Anyways
the jostling of what consitutes unified GOP conservatism is moderated by a few referees. At present
the longest serving referee is Rush Limbaugh.
BingoBoingo: WaPo at all last week were speculating
that
trump mailing list might have value, when it cannot because everyone on such list must be on 8 others readily whored and available.
BingoBoingo: Anyways GOP "conservatism" imagines itself a monolith where buying into one part means marketing
target buys into whole scamatron.
BingoBoingo: Now,
the DOP will also whore mailing lists but is far more selective. You join Sierra club you get spam but spam limited
to candidates and advocacy for
this issue money
taken for. Or so sayeth victims of
that side.
BingoBoingo voted Obama in 2008 because I
threatened
to if
the spam didn't stop, and issue was forced.
BingoBoingo: Show
the slighest interest in conservatism? How would you like a home freeze dryer for 7000 payments of $9999
BingoBoingo: What killed
the GOP in
the end was not
Trump, but
their mailing list whoring
mircea_popescu: guy is kind-of left in
that "sarcasm" school of
the 90s where you pick an anecdote and blow it up.
the
thing
that got hot
topic'ed into cracked.com and by now is so fucking forgotten it almost has cachet again
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey,
talk
to putin, i didn't come up with
the shit.
mircea_popescu: what with
their
terrorism of pointing out
that mosul and aleppo aren't
that far apart.
mircea_popescu: or, similarly,
take rt. largest program of education of one group of idiots at
the expense of another, "read
this so you don't get stupid enough we have
to nuke you"
mircea_popescu: lol someone loses
their job for being bad at it ? where
this, in
the us ?!
mircea_popescu: what's it win ? it wins land. how does
the whole
thing work ? young man of visible worth, who is a knight, gets asked "do you wish
to go
take X mark and be
the marquess
there ?"
mircea_popescu: no,
thread was re optionality. ie, if x wants
to do it.
mircea_popescu: just because i could bomb city hall doesn't mean i may not register a church
there. optionality is mine, all of it, without restraint. i can do both, if i feel like doing both.
mircea_popescu: the fact
that i can fuck
the girl in any hole i choose does not mean i am forbidding from asking her which hole itches
today.
mircea_popescu: who says you need 600 ? church holds
title
to
the land, can't be expropriated
mircea_popescu: the lulz @cat-v.org idiots are instructive in
this field. what matters
to
the powerless is an exercise left for onanists.
mircea_popescu: and once you register an irc channel "it begins
to matter how many heads you got". depends
to whom.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
to return
to
the caller : incorporated church has ~0 with more amount of headcount number.
mircea_popescu: nations exist where
the father is not
too cowardly
to maintain discipline in
the household.
mircea_popescu: (for
the innocent satmar, of course, is named for satu mare, a small
town in
transylvania)
mircea_popescu: but, very much unlike
the other groups usg hates,
these survived a long while.
mircea_popescu: they opposed collegiate education for girls, as well as voting in israel etc. i dunno any group
teh usg hates moar.
mircea_popescu recommends you read into
the story of
the satmar (bait : "If its schools in New York were a public school system, it would be
the fourth-largest system in
the state, after
those of New York City, Buffalo and Rochester.")
mircea_popescu: somehow
the st crispin speech never got
through. classics be hard.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's
this pervasive "surely you want more headcount, because headcount is a number and larger amounts of number is what everyone is all about".
mircea_popescu: i suppose historical bias. empire always fights
the last war it lost and all
that.
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough,
this point upset
teh empire recently.
they really fucking imagined anyone WANTS
the extras for some reason.
mircea_popescu: anyway.
the difference is marked. stalin had
to shoot people
to make example, because otherwise village wanted
to be with
the other guys. i am on
the contrary - very happy
to see every last idiot leave. stalin needed peons
to work
the
tank factory, which works on peons.
the shit we did - more people are a liability not a benefit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in classical republicbuilding, your choice is either slaves, beaten weekly, ie best korea, or else
taking it up in
the ass, ie, rhodesia.
mircea_popescu: anyway.
the hope is
that we don't have
the problem of
the soviets, specifically because
the republic has ~no problem with
the idiots leaving
to be with
the usg&co.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
they call it "network effects", among
the educated stupid, but really what it is - idiocy has no country. it's a
thing, a substance, beyond identity. << Aka Baby Boomers lamenting
that no one wants
to hold hands and get along like during
the post war politics of
their grandfathers not realizing
the handholding and hugs were
the anomaly
mircea_popescu: the problem is
that democracy is fundamentally going
to become "modern" democracy, for
this reason.
the mass of stupid keeps accreting.
mircea_popescu: they call it "network effects", among
the educated stupid, but really what it is - idiocy has no country. it's a
thing, a substance, beyond identity.
mircea_popescu: the desire of warsaw pact
to "be like in
the west" had nothing
to do with anything, and most pointedly had ABSOLUTELY nothing
to do with
their pretensions and aspersions at
the
time (freedom, liberty, blabla). it was EXCLUSIVELY a case of "stupid lazy idiots over
there! we wanna go!!1"
mircea_popescu: so : eiother you beat
the girls for using facebook, or else you're stuck with facebook. because
that's where
the stupid is.
mircea_popescu: basically, stupid people are not people in any sense, but simply stupid. and
they wish
to be with
their
true brothers and sisters.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the problem is very much
that
the small country isn't swallowed up by
the macdonalds. on
the contrary : it swallows
the macd.
