midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I'm not surprised by
that sort of record. :(
Their prison population is a disgrace
to humanity.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic you have
to excuse me, i come from a jurisdiction where sedition is considered
the right and proper attitude of
the citizen.
mircea_popescu: who knew
the us holds
the record for "longest held political prisoner"
mircea_popescu: outside prison." López Rivera is said
to be "among
the longest held political prisoners in
the history of Puerto Rico and in
the world." He has been jailed for 33 years, 8 months and 1 day.
mircea_popescu: In 1981, Oscar López Rivera, a Puerto Rican Nationalist and Vietnam war veteran, was convicted and sentenced
to 70 years in prison for seditious conspiracy and various other offenses. He was among
the 16 Puerto Rican nationalists offered conditional clemency by U.S. President Bill Clinton in 1999, but he rejected
the offer. His sister, Zenaida López, said he refused
the offer because on parole, he would be in "prison
ben_vulpes: don't call
the funny stuff funny, midnightmagic,
they might erect you your own gibbet
ben_vulpes: including not calling
the funny stuff funny
ben_vulpes: you gotta swear
to all sortsa funny stuff
trinque: pretty sure
the round of patriot legislation covered everything
mircea_popescu: i would like
to learn more about how one can make money by renting out
the space inside his nose.
mircea_popescu: i am in favour of deposing any kim, just as long as a) it's done violently and b) not by
the us.
mircea_popescu: basically, he's not
the right age
to run away from home with you vulpes.
ben_vulpes: like
the first
time anyone's ever done so!
midnightmagic: ben_vulpes: As opposed
to what? Pandering
to
the likes of you?
ben_vulpes: <midnightmagic> uh. just for
the record << lol what inspired
this insipid bit of authority pandering?
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> not
trying
to argue
that usg will somehow
transmogrify into inca empire when it 'needs
to' << ballas is fundamentally (if perhaps unaware-ly) arguing
that it already has.
that's where his numerous psychanalisis pieces on
the public mindset converge.
midnightmagic: decimation: justified violence can
take many forms including self-defence from immediate and credible
threats
to life and limb.
mircea_popescu: so... yes. for as long as
the usg is willing
to die peacefully, it will die peacefully. and if it wishes
to
try and make a break for it, all
the same, it will die bloodily.
decimation: midnightmagic: you would not resort
to violence under any circumstances?
joecool: too bad he had
to shove nina in lost+found
mircea_popescu: <midnightmagic> financial starvation of classic authority structures is
the primary reason I am interested in bitcoin: because it allows us
to do so without shedding a drop of
their blood. <<
this is a good principle. however, people starve best if
they are surrounded by barbed wire manned by other people firmly decided
to escalate force
to any degree.
joecool: reiser4 is an excellent fs, i used
to
talk
to some of his employees back when i maintained a patchset
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic i added it
to
the bash for you. once jurov or some mod gets around
to looking at it it may even show up
midnightmagic: so. no offence, I'm pretty sure you guys aren't actually real seditionists, but I wanted
to be on
the record about what I
think about violence.
decimation: he was
the guy who wrote a filesytem; murdered his mail order bridge later
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> i wonder how
that works. << drugs are bad mkay ?
midnightmagic: dude. seriously plotting or fomenting
the physical murder of
the USG is sedition, insurrection, and various related crimes and
there's no fucking way I'm interested in being associated with it just because I'm lurking in here.
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ decimation: orwell was probably
trying
to name his enemies, but 'utopian dreamers' seems more fitting
decimation: asciilifeform: "nationalism" strikes me as
the wrong word here
midnightmagic: financial starvation of classic authority structures is
the primary reason I am interested in bitcoin: because it allows us
to do so without shedding a drop of
their blood.
midnightmagic: fair game if it's a peaceful choice on
the part of people.
midnightmagic: uh. just for
the record, I strongly disagree with plotting
the violent overthrow of
the USG. I do not, have not, will not, and would not even in
the face of violent coercion, consider
the use of violent and/or lethal force as a vehicle of governmental change. I am not a seditionist.

the belief
that
the past can be altered. He spends part of his
time in a fantasy world in which
things happen as
they should — in which, for example,
the Spanish Armada was a success or
the Russian Revolution was crushed in 1918 — and he will
transfer fragments of
this world
to
the history books whenever possible. Much of
the propagandist writing of our
time amounts

danielpbarron: i'll look into doing openbsd later once i get
the hang of
this
assbot: Successfully updated
the rating for danielpbarron from 1

☟︎ assbot: You rated user danielpbarron on 29-Jul-2014, with a rating of 1, and supplied
these additional notes: Works at spreading
teh words..
mircea_popescu: so no, when i'm
talking about hanging each and every us bureaucrat,
through a war crimes court, within our lifetime i am not being in any sense and
to any degree metaphorical.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you wouldn't have known
there's such a
thing as "french partisans" if
there wasn't a 1945, either)
mircea_popescu:
the
tide, and suddenly all sorts of disparate and previously doomed forces are now converging.
mircea_popescu: (but
to anyone not quite seeing
the world for what it is : yes we are at war, and yes
the year is about 1944, and yes
the fucking nazis are running
the fucking concentration camps and invaded russia and so on and so forth. you had no idera about it, but similarly you had no idea about it in 1944.
the only reason
this is being an issue is because
the introduction of
the bitcoin
tank/bomber/submarine is massively
turning
mircea_popescu: so what, anihilated by 2020, completely gone by 2050, hopefully we'll be smarter
than
to do it over.
mircea_popescu: what was
the hands-down, no question asked, no doubt possible dominant party and c ultural force of
the 1930s ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and how well
that worked for
the nationalists is evident everwhere around us!
davout: you'd kinda notice it quickly
too if every other node you ask about
this (N-1) block
tells you
to gtfo
davout: asciilifeform: yeah,
there's
that but unless you're maliciously partitioned away from
the legit network it wouldn't be
trivial
to fool you
davout: see a bunch of nodes sorta agreeing on
the same chain
tip,
take it, work backwards
to genesis block easily since you can easily fetch previous block, once done verify chain and get back
to usual bzns
davout: i'm kinda hesitating between genius and braindamaged for
the following idea: what if
the chain gets synced backwards from
the
top?
davout: on an other
topic, wrt
to pogo plug chain sync
mircea_popescu: subjonctive died out in english because it was stupid,
time
to reimplement it out of javascript and call it something else!
