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: it's still shocking to me that three decades later they've STILL not figured out how to negotiate reality.

mircea_popescu: none have any sort of mothering instinct to downregulate it.
mircea_popescu: but srsly, it's unfeasible. the men will compete, so will the children.
mircea_popescu: that sounds like a great way to get yourself killed by your own children
mircea_popescu: because women are so totally willing to shoot anyone that pisses them off.
mircea_popescu: it's the arab socialism, which works in practice. this braindamged "socialism of the family" is beyond the lolz.
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: "After the capture of Almendralejo, one thousand prisoners were shot including one hundred women.8 After the shootings, the remaining women were raped." << lol the righties were trying for it.
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: i wonder how come us socialists don't have this on the agenda btw ? pretty much the only way they could talk interest to the people politico is trying to talk to is by making harems the law of the land.
mircea_popescu: February 1936 which prophesied that left-wing victory would mean ‘uncontrolled looting and

mircea_popescu: so translation, "french govt wanting to keep up with the us, seizes 400 btc from a guy, his gf and... well... they're french so a third guy"
mircea_popescu: "Les mis en cause étaient l'administrateur de ce site illégal, sa compagne et l'un de ses fournisseurs, lesquels ont été placés en garde à vue",
mircea_popescu: L'opération a été menée "dans le cadre d'une information ouverte notamment pour exercice illégal d'opérations de banque, offre de paris ou jeux d'argent et de hasard en ligne et travail dissimulé",
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: o look, they don't call it john the stupid in english ? wtf is this lackland bs.
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.
mircea_popescu: chetty yes, compared to organised stupidity, disorganised stupidity works better.
mircea_popescu: somehow everyone speaking at the same time results in cacophony but nevertheless "crowdsourcing". isn't this a bit dissonant ?
mircea_popescu: the caco in the phony comes from the shit in their heads.
mircea_popescu: the entire thing is an implementation of mother "beating" the chair her stupid kid boinked his head on.
mircea_popescu: you realise that shit isn't being read by the people it purports to address.
mircea_popescu: the point of that crap is to make the mob think that it still has power.
mircea_popescu: fucktarded kids think if they drooled on textbooks for four years the useless bulshit they learned is going to work, and ima let passive mood stick because what, rich people are stupid, social studies dorks are made to rule the world ?
mircea_popescu: for that matter, i would wish to point out that i have not been rewarded obscenely for my success. for one thing, i have not "been rewarded". i rewarded myself. for the other thing, the only obscene part in all of this is that some schmuck dares write idiotic copy for politico instead of begging to shine my shoes.
mircea_popescu: this is one direct result of the insufficient inequality in the us and especially europe.
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: yeah, i know what he WANTS to be talking about. the problem is that he has no idea what he's talking about.
mircea_popescu: "And also like you, I have been rewarded obscenely for my success, with a life that the other 99.99 percent of Americans can’t even imagine. Multiple homes, my own plane, etc., etc. You know what I’m talking about."
mircea_popescu: what am i supposed to believe random rich guy with the copy skils of a politico staff writer is writing copy for politico ?
mircea_popescu: but i mean, this "inequality" bs is just about to pass "global warming" in idiocy.
mircea_popescu: as a rule of thumb, 80% of the population must eat when it can, not when it wants. that's NORMAL levels of inequality.
mircea_popescu: fuck you lol. as long as most people can afford internet, and running water, inequality is way way way too low.
mircea_popescu: "But the problem isn’t that we have inequality. Some inequality is intrinsic to any high-functioning capitalist economy. The problem is that inequality is at historically high levels and getting worse every day."
mircea_popescu: obviously. the bonus of a "stable" state is rent seeking.
mircea_popescu: chick is married to a guy worth 1.5 bn, spends her time stealing crap not really worth 30mn.
mircea_popescu: "The loss to a U.S. seed corn manufacturer of a patented seed line is a minimum of $30 million to $40 million and from five to eight years of research time, Klinefeldt said."
mircea_popescu: so i'm supposed to believe corn companies have secrets worth stealing now ?
mircea_popescu: ahahah at "conspiracy to steal trade secrets from U.S. seed corn companies."
mircea_popescu: mother sleeping with its baby is also giant sucking on time/resources.
mircea_popescu: kinda why only doomed societies can significantly rely on security theater. it fundamentally relies on the productive parts of society having long left.
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: BingoBoingo the gods of the bash will smite thee at this rate
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: dub: Funny how this works? Most "Bitcoin Journalism" being carried out by either Butthurt creditors or soon to be Butthurt creditors. << dude with the golden mouth.
