mircea_popescu: mats_cd03 i think the great theory goes, that you don't need people who care, or who are competent, or understand anything etc. you just need enough of them.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but i brought it up on account of 'orcs' rather than gulag. what orcs look like to human.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes! it.
asciilifeform: to a 'human', what can be more revolting than an 'orc.' now where was that prison film review by mircea_popescu ?
undata: mircea_popescu: the southern cock will rise again!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in the land of 'soft power' - soft gulag. (almost inevitably hands want to say 'soft cocks' also.)
undata: mircea_popescu: I see the point about a genuine display of power
undata: ben_vulpes: dumb, k
undata: mircea_popescu: not-maximizing isn't the same as actively grinding away at your population until as jurov points out the numbers start to really dwindle

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: let's put it this way - the arab lands burn, and we know the arsonist - usg. who can say that arsonist is not still in control?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: human material matters.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iran - 'tried shit.' i would need serious evidence of pig flight before believing that fundamentalist clerical revolutions are anything other than usg 'yi yi zhi yi' methods.
