mircea_popescu: im sure
the fed is resisting socialism by not reporting all it prints
to washington
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform guy notably claims
that he was resisting communism by not registering his
typewriter.
mircea_popescu: i'm not gonna run it up myself because she was instrumented
to
test i dun recall what and i fear messing it up.
jurov runs crying
to mircea_popsecu "i broke eulora again and chetty isn't around!!!"
mircea_popescu: and
this was obviously not acceptable, being how inept as he may be, and a fraud as he may be, nevertheless he is
the palatial "scientist"
assbot: Romania libera - stiri iesite din
tipar - actualitate, investigatii, politica, cultura, diaspora, video, anunturi de mica publicitate ... (

mircea_popescu: it's not cowardice per se, even
though
the drill sargeant
thinks so. and
the opposite view is not "deliberate stupidity"
mircea_popescu: did you read
the one about
the german/romanian nobel prize woman debate ?
mircea_popescu: i remember reading
that at some point and not being impressed. prolly
the log has my expletives, ima look.
decimation: asciilifeform: I kinda arrived at
this
thesis from a
theological perspective earlier, which is also why moldbug appealed
mircea_popescu: (and yes, i fundamentally do not like
the guy because he reads exactly like andrei plesu, gabriel liiceanu or an entire smattering of entirely identical superficially "cultured", inept and impotent romanian "intellectuals" of
the "Resistence
throguh culture" brand).
mircea_popescu: "the battle between missionaries and settlers, which ended of course in
the victory of
the former, was
the great conflict of colonialism." <<
this is broadly coirrect. in
the us, decolonialization
took
the form of "dry states",
the missionaries fought against settlers brandied as "the bar lobby"
there.
decimation: asciilifeform: yes, what you describe is roughly what attracted me
to #b-a
mircea_popescu: i
think
tacitus lived in a marble
tub his entire life, in a museum in illyricum.
mircea_popescu: "What would
Tacitus make of
this? Frankly, I'm not sure he could even process it." << hot damned...
mircea_popescu: the
telegraph obligingly deleted
the linked reference
to how
the senator's daughter was raped by
the praetorian guards, so now
there's no reference.
decimation: well, as yarvin himself wrote, "he
truth, being
true, is accessible
to all -
though not all will get it all."
mircea_popescu: one'd
thing
there is some room for personal
taste in praxis and stylistics already
mircea_popescu: so i write an article with a cultural grounding introduction referencing newman and proceed
to
the historical discussion, some guy writes (a decade prior) an article using
tacitus in
thesame function and casually mentioning garfield
todd
mircea_popescu: Todd, basically, was
the Universalist
to end all Universalists.
mircea_popescu: like "In fact, what Power really means is
that a government "cannot survive indefinitely" if it defies
the wishes of
the international community. Ie, of, well - Power. Here we have
the ultimate cause of Rhodesia's destruction. I believe
this is a clear and undisputed fact."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently
that's working, at least
to some degree, if people seriously consider him an influence on anything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand, nothing in nature comes without a cost. flying bugs are not by
this fact more fit
than worms. even if flying is kinda cool.
mircea_popescu: not so unlike all
the people who were planning
to kill hitler, but never got around
to it.
mircea_popescu: <trinque> asciilifeform: is
that where I protest
the patriarchy by wearing a skirt? << it's a very specific locus
to east european "anticomunism" of
the contemptible kind.
mircea_popescu: holy shit man. a quote from wikipedia and
the next mention of
the word in comments ?!
mircea_popescu: decimation not
that i know. link
to what inspired me maybe ?
assbot: Nobody could have foreseen
their using a plane like a rocket on
Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

decimation: but is more likely
to achieve some of his ends
decimation: asciilifeform: of course
that man would probably meet a similar end
assbot: Logged on 13-04-2014 22:27:18; asciilifeform:
the 'a) wanna buy strela? b) fuck off c) really, dontcha? b) ok sure c) off
to jail'
thing has been going so long
that it doesn't even make national news every
time now.
decimation: asciilifeform: yes, if 'having a brain' means seeing about
two moves ahead - would put a damper on 'action'
decimation: which is why it was so amusing
that he was booted from
that programming conference
trinque: asciilifeform: is
that where I protest
the patriarchy by wearing a skirt?
decimation: yeah he certainly does not advocate 'resistance
through action'
trinque: is
that not
the most primordial rationale of all
time?
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah
that's my point, even if he has decided black people suck, it's quite a leap
to
think
that randomly murdering
them is going
to help anyone's lot
trinque: asciilifeform: of course not; guy's capable of "everything is because of
the outgroup" and nothing more
decimation: mircea_popescu: I
think
that was after moldbug's article
trinque: I read about as much of his little manifesto as I could be bothered
to
trinque: bahaha
this meme
that if any whites suck, it's
the fault of
teh blacks
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I would agree with
that
too
cazalla: you can always find a national anthem of rhodesia
thread on /pol/
too, lyrics and all lol
decimation: in modern
times, I suspect
that's
the case, yes
decimation: if anything,
this only gives
the 'witch hunters' even more ammo
decimation: cazalla: it's like someone read moldbug but was unable
to comprehend
the parts about how
this kind of action is hopeless
cazalla: having read his little manifesto,
the kid is without a doubt a /pol/ack (muh rhodesia, jews etc etc)
decimation: even if all he wanted was
to increase
the 'white
team' 'score' at
the expense of
the 'black
team' - it's not at all obvious
that
this was accomplished
decimation: his logic went somethingl ike 1.) found out black people suck 2.) "We have no skinheads, no real KKK, no one doing anything but
talking on
the internet. Well someone has
to have
the bravery
to
take it
to
the real world, and I guess
that has
to be me.
