mircea_popescu: the point asciilifeform doesn't appreciate here is
that i'd much rather spend 10k
to sue forbes over a missatributed story
than spend 10k
to buy "clicks" on facebook or w/e.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, nice, i'll hold off responding
to
this daniel roberts fellow and see what comes of yours
cazalla: i looked for a legal contact, not finding anything, might have
to be sent
to
time inc as
they appear
to own fortune.com
mircea_popescu: they don't as much as have a fucking legal address on
the site, anything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not a matter of i expect
to get
that head. i am getting
that head.
mircea_popescu: cazalla i'd say
they'd banned from qntra, and we just rewrite
their breaking stuff without credit given, but
then again
they've not broken anything since like
the 80s,
they just rewrite random feeds.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i got a response from fortune, not
the one i was hoping for either
mircea_popescu: but hey,
the us is solving its homeless population, and
the un doesn't even seem
to notice or anything.
mircea_popescu: i would imagine by now
the number of retarded people being abused
through
this scandalous mockery of law exceeds
the "sex offenders"
trinque: though I wish I understood
the saudi/iran dynamic more
trinque: I wouldn't expect
them
to continue
to exist if/when
that kicks off
trinque: it's
too early in
the morning for
this zen shit
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well yeah, if
they actually were intellectually respectable i'd prolly be
there.
trinque: not in
terms of
thinking creatures,
though
trinque: maybe
they're respectable like one respects a forest fire
mircea_popescu: part of why isis seems respectable where
the usarmy does not.
Chillum: failure
to plan for failure is
the ultimate failure
mats: ought
to have properly executed every last baathist.
mircea_popescu: they'll revert and you'll be out of
the loop soon enough.
trinque: maybe Chillum is referring
to what happened in Iraq for example, where former baathists end up in ISIS
mircea_popescu: you're merely stating
that you're not really
the new boyfriend.
mircea_popescu: consider
the matter in
terms you're better equipped
to handle. if, upon breaking up a girl with her former boyfriend, you institute a policy
that she may fuck him whenever,
Chillum: I intend
to be eaten by wolves
Chillum: If I was involved in
the formation of a new regime I would institute a policy of mercy on
the old regime. If only because any new regime is likely
to be
taken over by
the next
mircea_popescu: if
tomorrow it is discovered bharara was acting under mere color of law,
mircea_popescu: otherwise we'll start having
to
take back
the ilk of shrem because hey, "they
torched his house".
mircea_popescu: it makes no difference. don't want
to sell, don't sell.
mircea_popescu: these are unequal
things. commerce is between equal parties. employment is between unequal parties.
mircea_popescu: they didn't, yoiu know,
take employment with
the govt.
mircea_popescu: "steal from
the public" is what, microsoft ? jp manufacturer of resistors ?
trinque: asciilifeform: what has you so convinced your head is going
to roll?
mircea_popescu: ya ya, except if you become an "oligarch",
then
they invent imaginary arears and steal your shit.
jurov: alf whines all
the
time about as if obama
took something from him.. so i'm
trying
to compare
mircea_popescu: which is why i write about people like bfl on
trilema, but not about any one of
the countless heists.
mircea_popescu: it's one
thing
to be a
thief, it's another
to pretend not
to be a
thief.
jurov: aha. and why it's so important
that putin "didn't write", but just
takes as he seems fit without elaborating on paper?
mircea_popescu: "here's how much you group of criminals owe.
the pay is X an hour. get busy."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can see a plan
to have everyone who ever worked for a government shipped
to
the salt mines until
the whole sum is made back.
Chillum: feed
them shit, keep
them in
the dark
jurov: and
that's not "having interacted"?
jurov: you ever paid any
taxes?
