BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> decimation: doubt that it's as complicated as all that. probably just straight mental mapping of the lion in the washington zoo, or even in some cartoon, to the real thing << Last time I went to St Louis zoo they had balding malnourished lions. Surprised local bangers didn't take them as bait for training their pitbulls.

decimation: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-05-2015#1141372 < ascii perhaps they secretly fantasize about being wounded/killed by the very lions they wish to 'save' ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the malnourished, inept population of the coast towns is so fucking ridiculous it'd be rather easy.
asciilifeform: see thread.
assbot: Logged on 06-08-2015 02:54:26; decimation: yes, note that about 95% of the 'satire' is approximately 'those rednecks are so backward/stupid/racsis/dumb'
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=06-08-2015#1226951 << very valid point. where's the actual satire ? ☝︎
decimation: I suggest anyone who is against lion-hunting: go help guard the lions (without weapons) in their territory. when the lion eats your leg as you sleep, you will know he is doing it with appreciation
BingoBoingo: decimation: My guess is they melt for giant kitteh forgetting they killed all of their giant fittehs
decimation: BingoBoingo: sure, but the problem remains: why are distant strangers on the lion's side?
BingoBoingo: Just they unlike the Dentist will use an AK instead of a bow.
trinque: asciilifeform: is this one on page 13 with the american flag on a cloud about "yankees think they can own everything" or something?
BingoBoingo: decimation: Any decent Rhodesian tribe is going to kill the lion

mircea_popescu: " As such, 5 of the 56 field offices operated by the FBI currently lack a computer scientist assigned to that office's Cyber Task Force."
assbot: Logged on 20-02-2015 03:02:21; decimation: http://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/inland/kampf-gegen-rechts-ein-volk-von-antifaschisten-13429214.html < "Nichts tut so gut wie das Gefühl, gegen Rechts zu kämpfen."

decimation: asciilifeform: why with the 'against the nazis'? not exactly a difficult sell
asciilifeform: (not necessary, strictly, to speak ru, to appreciate)
decimation: "When the lion was finally killed, no one cared whether its murderer was a local person or a white trophy hunter, whether it was poached or killed legally. We danced and sang about the vanquishing of the fearsome beast and our escape from serious harm."
asciilifeform: perhaps he was - and had read this exact issue
decimation: "A week later, my mother gathered me with nine of my siblings to explain that her uncle had been attacked but escaped with nothing more than an injured leg. The lion sucked the life out of the village: No one socialized by fires at night; no one dared stroll over to a neighbor’s homestead."
asciilifeform: http://loper-os.org/pub/Krokodil_1985_13.djvu << uploaded for this thread. i will let readers decide if mr mold was fair about krokodil
trinque: asciilifeform: I laugh at the gallows, not at any mob power
trinque: btw, trilema is down
decimation: a very stark example recently is the outrage/mockery over that lion safari guy
asciilifeform: 'Crocodile humor is the laughter of the powerful at the powerless. It is not intended to be funny. It is intended to intimidate. Those who laugh, as many do, are those who love to submerge themselves in a mob, feel its strength as theirs, chant and shake their spears as one.'
asciilifeform: rse, but the tone is unmistakable. We'll hear a good deal more of it in the next four years.'
asciilifeform: 'Many UR readers have had the priceless educational privilege of growing up behind the Iron Curtain.

Extremely educated readers may also be familiar with the Nazi variant, as found in Der Stürmer and the like. The material is different, of cou

assbot: Unqualified Reservations: How to read and enjoy bogus history ... ( http://bit.ly/1K4xQrE )
asciilifeform: 'Note also how quickly Reynolds resorts to ridicule. There is a kind of pseudosatirical humor, or what would be humor if it was in any way funny, that is an unmistakable product of his time in Moscow. I call the trope "crocodile humor" after the Soviet humor magazine, Krokodil.'
decimation: yes, note that about 95% of the 'satire' is approximately 'those rednecks are so backward/stupid/racsis/dumb' ☟︎

asciilifeform: l of ads for clairvoyants and books of pornography. This piece of rubbish was said to have a circulation of 500,000.'
asciilifeform: d-cart piled with jewellery and bags of gold. Gringoire kept up an almost continuous outcry for the suppression of the French Communist Party, but it was equally fierce against even the mildest politicians of the Left. One can get an idea of the moral level at which it conducted political controversy from the fact that it once published a cartoon showing Léon Blum in bed with his own sister. Its advertisement columns were ful
asciilifeform: 'Béraud used to contribute to the Fascist weekly paper Gringoire, which in its later years had become the most disgusting rag it is possible to imagine. I have seldom been so angered by anything in the press as by its cartoon when the wretched Spanish refugees streamed into France with Italian aeroplanes machine-gunning them all the way. The Spaniards were pictured as a procession of villainous-looking men, each pushing a han
asciilifeform: trinque: the thing is quite like what mr mold called 'crocodile humour' (unfair, imho, characterization of soviet magazine 'krokodil') - 'the powerful laughing at the powerless'
decimation: "My excitement was doused when I realized that the lion killer was being painted as the villain. I faced the starkest cultural contradiction I’d experienced during my five years studying in the United States."

BingoBoingo: "Winnie the Pooh, on the other hand, wouldn’t know the first thing about courage. If he were on United Airlines Flight 93, for example, not only would he have not joined the revolt against the terrorists, but he probably would’ve gotten down on his yellow knees and sucked the terrorists’ cocks one by one. “Oh, bother!” he would shrug as the al-Qaeda operatives drilled the back of his throat with their pube-slathered ding
BingoBoingo: "He’s got that swagger. There are a lot of good lessons children can learn from a major-league pussy-crusher like Big Bird, such as the importance of confidence, courage, and friendship. "
