undata: oh, nevermind, I've seen
this
undata: mircea_popescu: I was looking for a film for
tonight anyway.
mircea_popescu: or at least, it's a fine summary of what i
tihnk of it.
mircea_popescu: there's a fine example of your "black nationalism" in
there, as deployed by sam l jackson's character
mircea_popescu: there's
two points here.
the easy
to dispatch one is
the naive narcissism. i can see why you'd imagine
the usg is important or powerful.
this is neither
true or particularly likely, from a neutral pov. but moving on,
undata: this is sort of musing on
the idea of an actual opponent
to
the US govt
undata: meanwhile destroying
the communities with crack, economic oppression, other
tools
undata: mircea_popescu:
they went after its command structure with assassinations, (sometimes wrongful) imprisonments, etc
undata: one can look
to black nationalism for an example of how
the usgov deals with an actual, organized opposition
undata: the pentagon side of
things seems rather effective
undata: mircea_popescu: on
the one hand you have
the inept, sprawling bureaucracy
undata: mthreat:
the history of
the LAPD is particulary interesting
mthreat: my reply: "I'd rather
they just stop publishing altogether."
assbot: I heard
that /coindesk pays all of
their writers in fiat! RT if you
think
they should offer pay in bitcoin! /shak /emilyspaven /southtopia
mircea_popescu: undata: a smart cult with an anti-govt streak would
try
to remain unnoticed <<< which fails
to explain why
the us govt is not
taking better care of staying out of our way.
undata: to be fair,
the cops have been involved in similar corruption in
the US since
the beginning
mircea_popescu: "Between 2001 and 2007, law enforcement agencies seized and kept over 35,000 cars, homes and electronics, forfeiting more
than $280 million."
mircea_popescu: Even more property was forfeited by participating in a federal program known as “equitable sharing.” By partnering with a federal agency, local and state law enforcement can keep up
to 80 percent of
the proceeds from a forfeited property. Incredibly, police can collaborate even if doing so would circumvent
their own states’ protections for property owners.
mircea_popescu: decimation: it is interesting
that 'crazies' who go postal insist on just spraying down innocents rather
than waging 'guerrilla' war << who in
the us is innocent ?
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2014 01:26:15; asciilifeform: back

mircea_popescu: nubbins`: kakobrekla: what, and when a guest visits my home and goes
to wired.com, a plain html page with all my private keys pops up on
the screen? << no,
they have
to enter combinations of keys first.
mircea_popescu: i've not seen
those cached links for agws.
they still exist ?
mircea_popescu: Nobody could have foreseen
their using a plane like a rocket -
Trilema
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: re: chumps << witness
the number of 'what did he do wrong111?!!?' imbeciles in
the anonabox reddit
thread. << quite. "need reasons"
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> and just as i am about
to publish a story << yeah well
that'sdhelped along by
the fact
that you're always about
to publish one lol
gribble: I am connected
to freenode as gribble.
gribble: (status

the status of
the bot.
kakobrekla: ill answer it for you. "we are in US so we need
to lick dirty anuses. we called chief dirty anus licker expert on board. not only he has experience he also has connections
that will allow us
to get
the freshest anuses."
PinkPosixPXE: Someone beat me
to mine, re bringing John Collins on board

this feed. its on youtube and linking
to

assbot: Can Africa ever expect reputable companies like /coinbase

the 'iphonization' of everything 200 years ago
assbot: Alexis de
Tocqueville on
