mircea_popescu: i will go as far as to say that no person that has spent one year diligently (4hrs/day) reading this logs can be stupid.
mircea_popescu: and if you do what romania did with the displaced farm youth / urban poor youth
mircea_popescu: they think they know shit, is the problem, and they don't see why they should put inb the hard work of reading the logs for a year.
mircea_popescu: look at all the fuckwits starting "bitcoin businesses", a la danny
mircea_popescu: <bounce> hypothetically speaking, suppose you're hungry and poor, but you have the knowledge <<< it's not the knowledge. it's the attitude.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony well so maybe in another... 20-30 years ? things even out
mircea_popescu: the only reason this isn't happening right now is that, of course, a nude teenager is not worth money, generally speaking.
mircea_popescu: decimation no, because they're too stupid to figure it out.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony as you describe it, the only business i'd consider running in south africa would be something like kidnapping young women to be transported for sex work or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: the model is unsurprisingly pushed by the us, seeing how sa was their only ally for a long time.
mircea_popescu: whereas the bee stuff works in a black majority, trying to redistribute the revenue of the whites more towards the majority
mircea_popescu: decimation that the mafia works in a white majority, trying to make ends meet for a legitimately opressed minority
mircea_popescu: this is so ridiculous. the same principle displayed at work in disgrace, the malkovich film
mircea_popescu: yeah yeah. nobody seriously considers the shit they did "post colonialism" makes any sense.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony well that's what i said. they get outcompeted. cause stupid.
mircea_popescu: but still " I never had any of them complain" is a weak counter
mircea_popescu: fluffypony so whyd they be complaining to you, or what'd that do.
mircea_popescu: decimation yeah that gets into various local details. same principle tho.
mircea_popescu: bounce most rich people with a large gun stash and tax attorney have a gun llc
mircea_popescu: fluffypony but how much of the caught fish is caught by their little tug boats, as a % ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the general point im proceeding from is that their problem is corporatism, and how it outcompetes their own dumb heads. the solution of pushing things further up the chain, through nationalisation (giving it to the state, the largest corp of them all) is exactly wrong
mircea_popescu: afaik (and i have no clue, so don't be shy in disabusing me of false notions) it never happened among black people.
mircea_popescu: ie, they don't have or want or could support a proper restaurant
mircea_popescu: restricting access to essentials would allow a softer transition.
mircea_popescu: anyway, from what i understand, the problem there specifically is that people are stupid, and western style corps are pwning them
mircea_popescu: bounce there's no corp that may take delivery of fish.
mircea_popescu: this is silly. it should work the other way around : no corporation may own real estate or any foodstuffs
mircea_popescu: generally speaking, disallowing corporations from owning certain classes of goods is the way to go. currently persons may not own guns, various substances, etc.
mircea_popescu: solves the problem, cause you can't fucking extinguish fisheries with a line
mircea_popescu: bounce just take the quotas away, permit fishing only for people.
mircea_popescu: “They take a few thousand people, then they eat on our behalf, then they are telling us we are OK.”
mircea_popescu: “If we nationalise it, then the people on the ground will benefit, not capitalists. These big companies come to Cape Town and they fish as much as they want and then when a normal or poor person goes to do the same, they are given a quota.
mircea_popescu: (the russians got it from the ottomans, and before that i dont recall, prolly tatars)
mircea_popescu: odessa is this russian town the romanians kept invading.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is he that romanian dude that sunk a german ship ?
mircea_popescu: i did europe, africa and asia so far... north and i guess central america.
mircea_popescu: anyway, you ever did a black woman ? how about a creole woman ? how about etc.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla the... moderately famous midgets of patagonia ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have a stack of hand made pralines, those count ?
mircea_popescu: i can't be bothered to drink milk. i think maybe the issue is, i've been overfeeding myself
mircea_popescu: i have almonds walnuts hazels bananas oranges apples and etfc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is it ? srsly ? jurov nah, i could have boobmilk but meh. too sweet.
mircea_popescu: so i think i've reached a new low. i'm starving but too lazy to either make anything or order someone to make something or order a car to go to eat out or any other alternative.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla what if you die before you see the sexy midgets of patagonia ?
