asciilifeform: a: 'orcs came and burned my village to the ground' b: 'shuddup, enough whinging, do something to improve yer lot'
decimation: re: orcs in the desert << the us could roll them over in about 2 days if the us were willing to commit the men & willing to actually fight to win
BingoBoingo: Tower of fire can have a standalone purpose. Making the orc fear that scarier orcs reside at the base
asciilifeform: at no point may the orcs have a leader who is not an active muppet.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i brought it up on account of 'orcs' rather than gulag. what orcs look like to human.
asciilifeform: but 'orcs suck and should simply kill themselves instead of sullying the planet with their stench' is not a historical argument.
asciilifeform: there is also the 'they're idiot orcs' construction. which isn't even false, because, well, orcs.
asciilifeform: everything in future will work - or not - depending on how readily it cuts through swaths of orcs.
decimation: well, in elder days when the internet wasn't full of orcs it kinda seemed ok
jurov: orcs shave? TIL

asciilifeform: !s orcs humans
asciilifeform: not uniquely african, no. all orcs.
mircea_popescu: dun wanna be too cultumancated, lest anyone can tell the orcs apart from the elves ?
asciilifeform: orcs pilfering the wealth of men is a thermodynamic inevitability - like waterfalls. but there's a clever bugger drinking the waterfall, to run with the metaphor.
asciilifeform: (aside from orcs existing perfectly well, they must also be made - apparently such is the nature of pesky humans)
asciilifeform: like making convenient orcs
mircea_popescu: go into the street, short bug-like big nosed arab orcs
asciilifeform: independence << that is only a permitted outcome when the 'orcs' vote.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: simple heuristic. folks who incorrigibly piss in apartment lobbies, elevators - 'orcs.' those who don't - 'humans', or 'germans' if you like.
asciilifeform: orcs vs humans!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'logic' presumably being, you must 'go with' the humans or the orcs, tertium non datur.
jurov: russians are orcs, as well
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: very few physical objects are worth the cost of raising an army to keep arbitrarily large horde of orcs away << this argument is flawed in the following way : for he who is repulsed by war, this holds true. for he who however enjoys war, no payment is necessary.

mircea_popescu: (only artificial orcs exist. mp knows, for mp has lived all over the world. actual poor people are more pleasant than actual civilised people)
asciilifeform: like tolkien's orcs, these were built artificially and with great care.
mircea_popescu: She wasn't talking to me, but I could hear her saying, "It wasn't supposed to be like this, they're so ugly, it's just so wrong." << woman met the orcs, hasn't even been raped yet.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he [yarvin] doesn't want the current one to crash << this is because he is persuaded (not necessarily wrongly) that he and his children will be eaten by orcs when crash
asciilifeform: http://imgur.com/cHWju2Y << re: orcs.
asciilifeform: re: commoditized 'innovation' - here's a snipped from me turdbox. translation of a page in pelevin's epic 'snuff' (the one with s/ukraine/orkaine, 'orcs', etc) ☟︎
asciilifeform only designs for fellow Orcs
asciilifeform: 'orc culture 101.' in the lands of the orcs, when 'human' shows up and says 'we can have government without corruption!' what people hear is 'if we'd let the jerries win, we could be in a mercedes benz. but it isn't too late! and if we end up as the seats, that's our place'
imsaguy: one does not trade with orcs
mircea_popescu: but if you want the nice sword the orcs have either you trade with them
