mircea_popescu: phf but leaving aside that the inquisition was invented in the first place to stamp out pantsuitism manifested as catharism from teh south of france (which it did do) : are you aware the first yellow star as a sartorial accessory was also introduced then ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, the moment is very much a french equiv of the us civil war. the north still won, same north, same terms.
mircea_popescu: nah. carcassone was literally an impregnable fortress for the time. were it defended, even middlingly, it would never have fallen.
mircea_popescu: and, then as now, actually competent women didn't think much of the whole crap sandwich.
mircea_popescu: pantsuitism is eternal, neglected cunt grows cobwebs, what.
mircea_popescu: well, the fact that there existed a 12th century animalrights, gender-fluid community of idiots who failed miserably in the field excuses you from such a pinpoint.
mircea_popescu: to this very day teh episode does truly bother the pantsuit press. because here's the thing : whether alt-right knows or doesn't know there's such a thing as jesuit, the thing they know or don't know still is, and still works.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, who shall say caedite eos, novit enim dominus eius for this century ?
mircea_popescu: look into how well the impregnable fortress was defended by those ninnies, and see in them the "hell no, we won't go" vietnam victrices.
mircea_popescu: the 14th century pantsuitization of the church resulted from the 14th century burning at the stake of the pantsuit enclave of toulouse.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the important point here being that the "progress" is actually a withdrawal ; from alhpabet to hieroglyphics, from christos to jesus, everywhere the sweet scent of senescent decay.
mircea_popescu: none of this, obviously, having to do with divinity in the slightest ; we're here discussing religion not theology.
mircea_popescu: and as it happens one of these works better than the other.
mircea_popescu: phf there's two fundamental roles for divinity in the life of man (unlike the matters discussed re resplenduminous, which are quite apart a third) : it's either momgod, give me a thing ; or else dadgod make me enjoy the thing i got.
mircea_popescu: cuz you know, simple-minded ustard doesn't take nearly as long to answer that question.
mircea_popescu: and in more domestic tranquility : a girl made bolognese, with fusili ; i made spicy paprika chicken, with penne rigate. there's now available A SELECTION of pasta leftovers for breakfast!
mircea_popescu: (the link, for the curious, is that in any other time than the present the above charles f. wilson would have been counted as a jesuit. both his stepping-stone and ultimate destination 2nd education institutions being -- jesuit.)
mircea_popescu: even exists in early anglo stuff, christ resurrector, christ almighty etc. though the vein exhausted itself readily and apparently without leaving much trace. i guess in the same way "everyone" knows of bedwetter's 1984 but nobody read point counterpoint, notwithstanding that huxley is the important kid in that class, not fucking blair.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (note that the above deals with jesus, as the western conception, not with the thing thereby named altogether. christos, as ~same thing understood in the east, be it the greek pantokrator, the russian voskresie i guess, or various others is not nearly as problematic)
mircea_popescu: in other words, i dun think "obscure" is the problem. i think "not wanting to take a look inside" is the problem.
mircea_popescu: it happens to also be the single most important thread connecting the self-same "alt right" with faith altogether, so this is problematic.
mircea_popescu: phf but to be honest, i suspect the actual reason is that this'd be a first step on the road to indicting jesus. which is apt, jesus being the best first-line heuristic for idiocy you'll ever encounter.
mircea_popescu: what, just because that happened 3 and 400 years ago as opposed to 1900s ? what is this, the simple, child-like behaviour of the new world demographic ?
mircea_popescu: jesuits were shoah'd in venice once, 1600s, and THEN in france, portugal, the two sicilies etc in 1700s. this is moar than one piddly german interdict
mircea_popescu: except it's better substantiated in fact than the jew thing.
mircea_popescu: what, just gonna keep on with the jews forever ? there's other options!
mircea_popescu: and since we're doing amusings -- i wonder why exactly hasn't the "alt right" picked up on JESUIT heritage to bitch and whine about ? it's just about the core of modern pantsuitism, it was historically oppressed specifically for pantsuitism, and when i say historically i mean centuries not decades, why exactly nobody knows enough to say "the jesuits will not replace us" ?
mircea_popescu: this is how the ourdemocracy "pluralism" ratchet works : if everyone is nominally equal, and if nobody should face the music of his own ineptitude, then you can cycle these spawn-and-consolidate cycles until everything is pure shit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, but the above line re "consolidated into" is there to explain how exactly $item became shit : at time t0, there existed $item, and it was respectable. at time t1, misguided "pluralism" allowed a bunch of rank imbeciles, such as here typified by charles f wilson, to open $rakim-and-his-black-chix-code, $faggots-fashion-law-review etcetera. then at time t2, the foregoing useless items "got consolidated" into $item. the
mircea_popescu: i expect 50% of his fare are de mournay DUIs, 50yo ex-starlet / alcoholic jane fonda.
mircea_popescu: so i much doubt you will interact with him unless you somehow age 20 years, get tit implants and become a socialite.
mircea_popescu: this guy is now assistant public defender in hartford, ct!!! no less
mircea_popescu: "In Spring 2017, the Boston College Environmental Affairs Law Review, Boston College International and Comparative Law Review, and the Journal of Law and Social Justice published their last issues and consolidated into the Boston College Law Review." for extra bonus points.
mircea_popescu: (one helluva braindamaged "case" that was, too. worth reading for the curious, they got thrown out at every level, then held up supreme court to educate them in basic law.)
mircea_popescu: if anyone things it prepares lawyers that one's reading comprehension is barrista-adequate.
mircea_popescu: so : bc law thinks having argued before the supreme court!!!! on the wrong side of a case that got adjudicated the other way 8-0 is something to put in its bio as the #1 item.
mircea_popescu: anyway, anyone remember the brouhaha of "fair" (ie, some faggots-on-campus pac) vs rumsfeld case ? (govt wanted to cut funding for colleges that didn't allow army recruiters on campus, solomon amendment ; they didn't want to allow recruiters on campus because they judged don't ask don't tell DISCRIMINATORY!!!11)
mircea_popescu: phf dood's bio : 1993-1994 greater boston food bank volunteer (ie, ASSISTANT volunteer MANAGER!!!), then 1998-2002 testa hurwitz & thibeault. boston college law school (ie, shit) 94-97. "saint joseph university" (ie, shit), ba politics 89-93.
mircea_popescu: !#s dog notfrom:mircea from:ascii from:ben notfrom:phf
mircea_popescu: anyway, lulzy throughout. "we were old enough to fight in vietnam, but not old enough to vote, which is lulzy, notwithstranding we whined a lot more than we fought, AND ALSO LOST THAT WAR THOUGH BEING SAD FAILURES!!! ; then the vote thing was fixed, but it was fixed in the wrong way -- by lowering emancipation age it meant daddy no longer has to pay! UNFAIR!"
mircea_popescu is pretty well satisfied ~only reason charles f. wilson put that out there is the hope that some "divorcee" somewhere will "let him help".
mircea_popescu: cucks trying to signal to milfs that they're available, basically. naive colonies sufficiently unsophisticated to allow this shameful display.
mircea_popescu: i find it interesting that anyone thought that'd make sense as an opener. for the READERS OF LAW REVIEW no less.
mircea_popescu: not sure what's lulzier, the failed-female whining or the concerned-bystander "is college bezzle getting all it could get ???".
mircea_popescu: i'm not much of a coffee drinker, in general. but when i live here i take a few months to turn into utter fiend. then if i move away it goes away.
mircea_popescu: shinohai move to costa rica, have the problem of omfg i can't keep drining so much coffee... but it's so good...
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic that's EXACTLY the fucking problem. modern man has total disconnect between symbols dancing in front of eyes and anything to do with action.
mircea_popescu: r instead of Wanton Vandal. Canter boasted he'd spam again."
mircea_popescu: Americans to enter a very low-odds US-work-permit raffle. Jeff Wheelhouse, sysadmin for Internet Direct, was soon bombed into oblivion by world-wide complaints. He told the New York Times this caused Internet Direct computers to crash at least 15 times -- "that's when we stopped counting." Canter soon appeared on CNN's Sonya Live. Interestingly, spam was viewed as an innovation by Sonya, who hailed Canter as a Business Pionee
mircea_popescu: "The term "spam" came into broad use shortly after a famous incident on 12 April 1994. Canter and Siegel unleashed the first mega-spam against Usenet. (Cantor had done local, mini-spams before; he was now going international.) Canter spammed almost 6,000 groups in less than 90 minutes through an Internet Direct account (an Arizona Internet provider). The post was a C&S ad for the U.S. "Green Card lottery" -- a chance for non-
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, dood's possibly been around for longer than the internets.
mircea_popescu: & hard to reach to be in management. Also, their support offerings are so complex they’re “afraid” of “a great deal of misinterpretation” if they write them down."
mircea_popescu: pretty entertaining shit, too. "Just spent an hour+ listening to @NETGEAR ProSafe support condescendingly claim a feature w/ an entire chapter in the manual doesn't exist. Finally made them download manual off their own site. "Huh. We'll try to get somebody who's heard of this to call you back… eventually." or, "Just had @MariaDB decline to give me a quote for @nfsn. They don’t deal with “staff” & say I’m too busy
mircea_popescu: eh isn't that exaggerate ? it's a node, what. keep adjusting weekly ?
mircea_popescu: but yes, in principle a chumpatron op shouldn't be losing money, seeing how they translate into reality an ideal good : the disenfranchising of idiots.
mircea_popescu: and yeah, totally, i'm sure they're happy. an sept 2 investment in bch would have brought... o look, under 0.095 now!... what is this, 60% loss ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "Date: Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 3:09 AM [snipped idiocy] someone is paying me to look at your exchange. Can you [snipped idiocy] "
mircea_popescu: heck, max keiser still thinks he's "got insights" neh ? and whatever, "bitcoin cash is still around"
mircea_popescu: and no, idiots don't repent, that's part of being an idiot.
mircea_popescu: recall that other turdhead, what was his name, "oh i r big deal, who are you" in 2012 or when was it, then in 2014 "oh, please talk to me ?"
