the suicidally unstable peroxide of acetone? no N !)
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i dun see it, just because you ex post facto define
that agenda (as do
they) doesn't mean it;'s anything
mircea_popescu: (incidentally : usable demolition charges are so unremarkable,
they had
to make a special
treaty so everyone agrees
to outlaw untagged charges. which is why all
the brouhaha about "Sniffing explosives". properly made c4/semtex etc are not actually detectable on
their own)
ascii_field: and
the only
thing
they all have in common is
that
they play into
the hands of usg agenda.
ascii_field: my point was
that whatever it was
the 'postal' folks were optimizing for, it certainly isn't max damage or even intimidation

mircea_popescu: ascii_field fuel bombs are great but impossible
to deliver on foot.
ascii_field: fire holds
the record
thus far in north amer.
mircea_popescu: if he had a plan, he'd have gone with a vest at one of
those endless "conferences", except one for law enforcement.
that's where all
the alread-stole-enough DEA agents & c go
to prowl for young meat.
ascii_field: because it is abundantly clear
that
the standard u.s. 'postal' is going for
tlp/fantasy-actualization, rather
than partizan/corpse-maximization
ascii_field: if he had a plan,
there'd be a ruined bridge or demolished dam
trinque: just knows how having one looks on
tv
trinque: nobody on
the continent has a plan
mircea_popescu: "here's something
that i just had my secretary
type up and it was subseuqently found yesterday in
the guy's dirty laundry bin."
trinque: mats: I dunno

to muster
the (what? not courage)
to do it == having a plan
mircea_popescu: "whay none of
these
tyrones can wraet good like white folks! we should do something about it!"
mircea_popescu: trinque
the manifesto is prolly just
the nigger activistas creaming

the round fires - 'anticipatory flinch'

their own reactions
to
the noise/physical stress.

mircea_popescu: "you don't need a sink anyway, who doesn't eat at mcd ?
terrorists,
that's who!"
mats: BingoBoingo: i don't
think ABC has released it
trinque: if he'd ever picked one up before, it was in front of
the mirror
mircea_popescu: it's like a "end violence - ban sinks" because a buncha bums keep running into houses, stealing
the sinks and buldgeoning
the poor ladies
to death with 'em
mircea_popescu: that's another
thing. all
these "gun violence" exponents are barely acquainted with guns.
trinque: squeezed off 3-4 at <10ft?
target runs away?
☟︎ trinque: mats: guy seems like a
terrible shot.
ascii_field: (or i suppose
the actual original is

to korea. but
the us ? i dunno.

the chinese care ? i don't
think
they care.
mircea_popescu: if you push
the point, you can claim
the various attacks as quite edifyingly narcissistic
trinque: I wonder if
there's some subconscious awareness of
this, being overextended and unable
to help oneself.
mircea_popescu: the us is going
to fail like argentina and
the congo, not like russia or romania.
mircea_popescu: contrariwise,
the usg is a competent prop of an otherwise inept, worthless and disabled population.
mircea_popescu: the soviet state was a slow, inept drain on
the resources of an otherwise powerful, self reliant and resourceful population.
mircea_popescu: this collapse couldn't be more unlike
that collapse in
the following fundamental way :
trinque: were
these instances of people acting out common around
the soviet collapse?
trinque: I've seen a vid of a dude doing
the same

think
this one might be
the first 1stperson-pov-filmed postal in usa
trinque: and I
think
that's exactly
the right approach.
trinque: I certainly wasn't arbitrarily attacked in childhood, but I knew very well
that certain behavior choices would result in an ass-kicking.
trinque: and
that someone being oh so very upset with you is not a consequence.
trinque: and yes, I
think it's abundantly clear
that being raised in an environment without consequences yields horrible results.
mircea_popescu: trinque i don't see why it has
to listen
to anyone else.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> she wasn't nice

they be sane as adults.

the code from
the deeds module and let L1 control feeds
BingoBoingo: Seriously, just enough years for
the cartilage of bitcoin
