mircea_popescu: you know, once ceausescu was finally killed, it came
to light
there have been
thousands of people plotting his demise, allegedly.
to hear
them
talk, some of
these had gone on for decades.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they are, however briefly.
the others often never get around
to it.
mircea_popescu: tho
thieves often
think in
terms of "o look, a slow scam is being set up!!1"
mircea_popescu: in any case : people who don't steal do not become by
this better
thieves.
they do instead become part of a different world.
mircea_popescu: well no. you are in
the unique position where someone killed himself, and you say "his death was not effectual - as it didn't resolve his problems. lo,
they are still here!"
mircea_popescu: ie,
this may be a valid discussion of
trapmakers, as it discusses how much of a
trap it is, but not at our level, where we discuss what is is.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it is no argument
to say of
the badger
trap "but it shot no laser"
mircea_popescu: this is what all
they who disagreed with chomsky and agreed with civilisational narrative re joe stack also saw.
mircea_popescu: im not entirely sure i have enough data
to build a chain as you propose.
mircea_popescu: the man
that has so shot one, is not by
this ineffectual, even if invaders left.
mircea_popescu: the man who has not shot an invader in his livingroom is not by
this a man who will not. just a
trap no invader has stepped on yet, is all.
mircea_popescu: at
that
time
the first
trap
to ever spring sprung, and
the second had not : a) were
the other eleven effectual or ineffectual ? b) was
the one
that sprung effectual or ineffectual ? note
that still badgers around, AND FROM
THE POINT O VIEW OF
THE BADGERS, every item is just as much a
trap as
the
traps.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let me approach
the matter
this way : you have an infestation of badgers in your living room. so you set down a dozen
traps. overnight,
two
traps have sprung.
mircea_popescu: hitler&gobbles' inane insanities certainly do not constitute more of a nordic system
than
the current socialism.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the only marginal avenue for all
that is claiming mussolini's claimed italian revival was genuine. i speak
the language and do not believe
the
theory, in agreement with
the vast bulk of native speakers.
jurov: btw, when it was prospering? in manifest destiny
times?
mircea_popescu: arguably it's right here, but i
think it's early for
that.
mircea_popescu: sane + civilised is only available at
times when a civilisation prospers.
these aren't
these atm.
mircea_popescu: but
the comparison can not be properly carried in civilisational
terms -
there aren't any.
the only common ground is natural, and
that's what yields
there.
mircea_popescu: because what a dead and decaying civilisation does
to
the brain is indistinguishable from
the early stages of mental illness.
mircea_popescu: ie, a being not informed by
the rote assumptions of your culture.
mircea_popescu: what if -
to him, hungry is
the subjective sense of lack induced by watching
tv without a milk glass in hand like ... every single case of people watching
tv he's seen on
tv ?
mircea_popescu: you may
think "he eats because hungry - just like me", and he agrees.
mircea_popescu: take
the easier
to digest example of
the child who earnestly
thinks milk comes from
the supermarket.
mircea_popescu: but look :
the standard european mecanicism is not a universal ideology. actually, plenty of people have never even heard of it.
they regard
things - often
the same
things, yes - but
that does not necessarily mean
they see
themwith
the same eyes.
mircea_popescu: no. i don't
think your idea of "aims" actually applies
to
them.
mircea_popescu: one certainly can not attempt
to apprehend
the death of cesaria evora by saying "niggers"
mircea_popescu: if your observation about a fact is a word
that applies
to all facts, you've not even attempted
to study
the peculiar of
the fact.
mircea_popescu: nono,
the idea is
that calling everything
the same
thing is
the opposite of
trying
to understand. you can't analyse by synthetic means.
mircea_popescu: let's return
to gorgo,
the woman
that allegedly "spartan women can rule men because
they can squeeze
them out". her husband famously
told her
to "mary well and serve her man". also, partizan motherland ?
mircea_popescu: i dun
think any of
these actually works in
this context.
mircea_popescu: but
the problem is,
there's no promise
the how will be approachable.
mircea_popescu: you have
to dig no further
than right here.
the fact
that you feel
teh need
to sell me on
the idea he never happened is pretty much good enough.
mircea_popescu: i actually
think he is more respectable
than pretty much every surviving american.
mircea_popescu: imo, eunuchs understand... futility. and for bonus lol points, fut is
the present indicative of
to fuck in romanian.

these idiots.
assbot: Logged on 20-06-2015 17:04:21; pete_dushenski: been following
that spandrell character
that decimation put
the chan onto a few weeks back and i have
to say
that i enjoy and appreciate his historical research and perspective, but it's a shame how badly
the kid still cowers in fear of his own shadow
assbot: Logged on 20-06-2015 12:23:56; mircea_popescu: some other schmuck by
the name of "jim" explains
that he would really really want everyone
to beliueve
that hte children of special people are not in fact special by
this fact, but merely indistinct mass, because everything's equal, and moreover
that kids who didn't go
through
the everything's equal idiocizer "lack
the ability
to empathize with
their peers", which is codetalk for "do not credit

punkman: yeah I'd rather do airgap on laptop with battery
than desktop
