benkay: hey that's a neat way to advertise that you want yourself upped
asciilifeform: and there'll be plenty of folks ready to help
asciilifeform: when things get wedged at 'of birth' that's really an invitation for a napoleon to come and, technical term, 'fuck shit up just because'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: napoleon's "general's baton" << i always understood that piece to speak of his favour for aristocracy 'of merit' vs of birth
benkay: "speedy trial" is a bit vauge.
assbot: Brevard judge tells attorney, 'I'll beat your ass,' allegedly... | www.wftv.com
davidlatapie: Hi mircea_popescu how are you doing? I'm sorry I did not have much time to participate recently. Not that is it getting better :)

mircea_popescu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE6-jlevnwQ that
mircea_popescu: it did all this before. better, even, arguably, since still no man was yet as rich as crassus.
asciilifeform: so where's the 16-virgin ?
asciilifeform no expert, but sees a europe that largely shot its wad in 1918
mircea_popescu: (napoleon's "general's baton" bs is nothing but the reimplementation of the gracchi's reforms, 20 centuries prior)
mircea_popescu: such a thing kills everyone else, but it just goes to sleep and comes out virgin and 16 again.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they'll forever go to this spiel.
mircea_popescu: it's not voltaire, it's the french retard club, montaigne, saint simon, rousseau etc.
asciilifeform: benevolence of the european man, and his general humanity << the funny part is that the russian left (pro-american. if you want to actually understand post-collapse ussr, gotta understand why left->pro-us) went right back to this spiel
mircea_popescu: the problem is that russia never was and likely never will be actually up to the task.
mircea_popescu: that the 1800s quaint concepts of the superiority of the west, naive faith in the benevolence of the european man, and his general humanity, all that germanophillia etc
mircea_popescu: that on the 2nd pass they eventually had enough and followed is reasonably understandable.
asciilifeform: mr mold likes to crank it all the way back to... voltaire
mircea_popescu: europe has had naught but turmoil. the russians ended up taking it in the ass twice for this reason, and painfully too.
mircea_popescu: but look at the matter : ever since napoleon implemented the idiotic idea that people generally should have a voice merely for having been born,
asciilifeform: much as it must've sucked to be on the receiving end of the beast - much of what people like to gripe about re: soviet ham-handedness was, as you might say, 'forced mistake.'
asciilifeform: of course, unphased by this. We know now that their strategy of psychological war turned out to be a correct one... To establish the injustice, the 'meanness' of the enemy in a moralistic war is every bit as important as winning a pitched battle in a hot war.' ☟︎
asciilifeform: moral justice the legions ought to forsake the lands for which they had paid with their blood. Not only is the transference of conceptions of morality to the evaluation of historical events a phony method, but, if we recall, the moralists - the defeated European nations and the Americans, enemies of the USSR - that is to say, non-impartial moralists - their condemnations sound hollow indeed. The offenders, are, ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'the Western blok... preferred to view the Eastern European nations as victims of Soviet aggression, ignoring the simple and manly fact (that would have been instantly understood by a Roman) that Soviet legions, without anyone's help, took possession of Eastern Europe via force of arms, answering aggression with aggression. And the Roman would an absurdity - he could not comprehend, in the name of what so-called ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: try this one on for size:

asciilifeform: (famous letter from tito to stalin, found on the latter's desk after his death)

thestringpuller: difficulty is kinda mad high on ATC must be some ASICs out there on the network
mircea_popescu: the last paragraph is perhaps quite important, for all the "bitcoin entrepreneurs" so very eager to sign plea bargains. broz tito outlived stalin, and nearly outlived the soviets.
mircea_popescu: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/18140285 << apparently they know a whole lot.
mircea_popescu: ter some delay, with a false confession allegedly written by Rostov in the death cell. This was too shameful, and it would hardly have served the purposes of reeducation." and then goes to search, curious what the internets know of rostov ?
mircea_popescu: so a man reads "But that particular December nothing positive had taken place, except for the Soviet-Chinese talks - though even they seemed to have got bogged down - and the seventieth birthday of the Leader of the Peoples. He could scarcely tell the Germans about the trial of Traicho Rostov, at which the whole blatant MISE-EN-SCENE had suddenly come unstuck in open court and the correspondents had been fobbed off, af
