twerps who

the crazy is spread out
mircea_popescu: nubbins` im not gonna read 69 pages of

thing and
the article doesn't make it
too clear , i could see either side. got some selected quotes ?
nubbins`: there's conjecture
that
this is all related
to outstanding investigations into hell's angels
nubbins`: the
torture victim's name and picture were originally published but have since had a publication ban, so it's now "the victim" and
the pics are all blurred.

the beating.

to skim
the first few paragraphs

the content
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ you sit
them in
the door and you slam
the door into

the door, but also learn better.
mircea_popescu: ("ironically" is
this internet meme where
the actor pretends his actions are stupid but he knows it, he merely engages because of reasons. his job, his audience,
tptb etc)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes dude, whenever magic is discussed in
terms of
the robes and hats i will say retards.
mircea_popescu: so what, you propose

to actual beatings, plenty of excuses
to be had from all quarters
mircea_popescu: that's what beating does, confronts
the beta with
the incontrovertible "if what i pretend were
true and what i know
to be
true were not, how come i am
then beaten ???"
mircea_popescu: mno.
this describes
the condition of
the vast majority of males.

they have absolutely no connection
to ethics.
mircea_popescu: lemme point out
that
the "feelings" idiots have no monopoly on ethics.
mircea_popescu: that may well be what you're reading into it, rather
than what
they're saying.

their dumb skulls.
mircea_popescu: next you're going

these map on
the original at all, and amusingly enough neither of
these carries what you want it
to, either.
mircea_popescu: you're not going
to start with "life's
the greatest good in and of itself" and "we're all equal so consequently no-one's life is worth less
than
the shine on your shoes" are you ?
funkenstein_: and from
