mircea_popescu: nah. listen,
the way
these "spanish dominions" worked was
that
the spanish kind simple claimed
the land.
there wasn't a 1 spanyard per billion acres.
mircea_popescu: but argentina is mostly built out of
the italians
that couldn't find us army
tit
to suck in europe. ie,
the rejects of rejects, it's dubious italians are people at all.
mircea_popescu: the
two may be hard
to distinguish in practice, but nevertheless.
mircea_popescu: and it's an insult
to communism
to call south american communists.
they're not communists,
they're just dumb and lazy.
mircea_popescu: but in
the 80 years hence, slowly wound down back
to
their hole.
mircea_popescu: they appeared people back when german empire kept
them afloat.
mircea_popescu: they're already starving ; 0 willingness
to do anything about it.
mircea_popescu: (for
the innocent :
the sickle is
the pinnacle of agricultural slavery. it requires one
to literally walk bent over and using arms for 10-12 hours. only miner has harder
time.)
mircea_popescu: and industrialize in particular manner - "we'll cull
the peasantry and build
towns"
mircea_popescu: so
there's all
these "art" craps
that consist of
that same image of che etc.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i suspect
this is
the whole recipe of south amercan socialism : "we're just as much a bunch of idiot subhuman iron age farmers ; unlike lenin we won't fuck with proletkult"
mircea_popescu: and whatever,
they had some maybe-promising beginnings in modernist art ; but
the narrowminded soviet derps (lenin & gf front and center) fucked it up.
mircea_popescu: not really. just in comparative
terms. you know, like
the sow looks good next
to
the goat.
mircea_popescu: eh,
the soviets looked good in
the 50s/60s only, and strictly because
the old austro-hungarian empire was ground
to dust by hovitzer fire, literally, and france/low countries etc had been bombed pretty badly. so west europe starved which it hadn't done for 3 centuries while russia starved which it had done each other decade.
mircea_popescu: as
the police joke goes, "every victim describes
the assailant's gun
the same way : it was big"
mircea_popescu: fact is, average woman willing
to give it all away will make more over any period
than average convenience store robber willing
to give it all away.
mircea_popescu: "i
think
the machine gun works by stabbing its victims ; but you won't notice because
tits."
mircea_popescu: maybe
they're all nude and
the media can't report on 'em
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, more like "i don't care about what you
think enough
to not rob
the place ; but god damned i care what you may say about my genitalia"
mircea_popescu: go rob
the bank in
the buff like your ancestors
teh greeks.
mircea_popescu: this makes no sense
to me. so you've supposedly "given up on society" and everything, right ? why
the fuck are you dressed.
mircea_popescu: pretty sure a)
those neurotic ceramic salesgirls don't matter-of-factly expose
their cunt as seen
there and b)
they've no guns.
mircea_popescu: burning man is for white wanna-bes,
the black dudes have different rubspots.
mircea_popescu: whereas
the other wants
to go
to burning man and rub in
the human dogvomit.
mircea_popescu: the only difference is
that one has "a
taste for opulence" and dings your imported german car.
mircea_popescu: one can't
talk
to girls because sex ;
the other can't
talk
to girls because sex.
mircea_popescu: take
the following poll : if you were given
the choice of living permanently with 1 of : rodger elliot ;
trayvon whatever, which'd you pick ?
mircea_popescu: yeah. but he
thinks 1k in cash is "oprah rich" whereas mb&ws derp expects millions in expenditure and still whines about it.
mircea_popescu: it's not even in any way ~aware~ mb&ws
trabajador even exists, as any sort of separate or separable entity.
mircea_popescu: it's very much self-flattery of
the monogamy-beer-and-watching-sports
trabajador,
that
the usg somehow fears him / cares.
mircea_popescu: natural preference for
the "quiet" child ;
they're all usg's children, cuz modern democracy much like ancient
tyranny is definitionally inclusive.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and you know why, yes ?
thief isn't asking anything from usg.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform all kids are born in shit. as
the gypsy wife said
to her husband, "do we wash it or do we make another"
BingoBoingo: In other news
the Bureau adds. "Lastly, you could consider modifying your vehicle with a vehicle security system or secure
the catalytic converter
to
the vehicle frame with additional welding."
mircea_popescu: i will daresay
that if your women can't be
trusted in front of enemies you've been wasting your
time.
mircea_popescu: of course, now i don't like his idiotic position on women, but
this is now on
the exact opposite side of before.
BingoBoingo: To
the extent honor code exists in my reading of lafond,
the lynchpin is Lafond won't give up his wallet
to muggers and
the people who do have deep failings in
their attunement
to reality.
mircea_popescu: what i'd be more interested in is, if BingoBoingo can explicit
the "honor code" symbol as used by lafond, seeing how i read much less
than him from
the man.
mircea_popescu: was
talking symbolicly, of
teh "i watched steven segal movies and it gave me an honor code"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
trains ~reddit posters in a different color scheme.
mircea_popescu: i sure as fuck am not about
to go watch di maggio pitch with him ; nor drink
the beer-flavoured-sprite he guzzles. and i'll fuck his woman, without any concern for him ; while he can't fuck mine, because she won't put up with his dumb head. life is so unfair.
mircea_popescu: da fuck i care
that he feels equal
to
the plumber down
the street and
the banker
two streets down and in
the legobox
that plays
the role of his
thinker
they're "all
the same" plastic figurines.
mircea_popescu: anyway. dude's "moral code" is a vaguely digested version of picket fences, whereby "hardworking man" "should" "get
things" "just like all
the others". it's a strand of labour
thinking from
the 1800s
that was born out of a very strange, but
temporary and self-limiting situation, and otherwise has no place in
the world.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pretty sure
they were, many parts in
transylvania wolf was only coming back cca 1980s
jhvh1: thestringpuller:
The operation succeeded.
thestringpuller: !~later
tell BingoBoingo none of
the articles on my draft
table seem compelling enough yet
to publish. call me one of
those
tortured artists.
mircea_popescu: and i'll
tell you : he
takes issue with, eg,
the latin "child goes after his mother", apparently
this is "an excuse of deadbeat dads".
mircea_popescu: in
the debate of yet-another-flavoured-socialism vs wolf, i'll sit with
the wolf.
mircea_popescu: heh. mno. he fails
to say "wolf does
the right
thing - farmer is a fucking idiot for not shooting it. law ? what fucking law."
mircea_popescu: i certainly am not about
to subscribe
to his homo homini bovem est
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you might have noticed
that in a dispute between wolf and cow
the fellow sides wiht...
the cow ?
