mircea_popescu: so, learn from the experience of ninjashogun and a dozen or so other nameless, meanwhile forgotten fucktards that were beheaded in this chan : you're not good enough to earn your keep as a politico. not here, not ever.
mircea_popescu: now the story here is that while both kinds of tech are actually useful and employable, neither kind of politico is. the expert politico doesn't need to be employed, of course, but that's not doing much for the vast majority of noobs, wanna-bes and untalented hacks populating that field.
