they had on
top of gnu platform.
that was
the goal. only a handful people who actually worked with a genera realize how "special"
the result of rms's work was.

to any other kind of farming.
the pretense
to "independent farmers" is how
the pantsuit chicks got
the less able men off
the cattle growing, you understand.
the notion of "independent farmer" is a hallucination exactly like
the notion of "successful starlet", sold by
the press of a commercial concern for a commercial interest. hollywood WANTED a bunch of gir

trinque BingoBoingo ^ lemme know if issues.
mircea_popescu: web-borne noobs have a lot of
trouble mentally handling sanity, what can i say.
BingoBoingo: Aite, found
the
textpaste dump.
Tomorrow when I have
the cedula in hand, will scan. Reply

that message with
the scans, we can see if it shows up Wednesday.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: how do you know
that it is at
the airport ? <<
That's where Aduanas holds
things.
BingoBoingo: Could you forward
those messages
to me somehow, because
the
tracking page only shows where
the package has been.
BingoBoingo: The papers where
they asked you for
the ID and such? Whose name was on
the package as
the recipient, etc...
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Wednesday morning I plan on heading
to
the airport. Was
there any other paperwork besides
the
tracking page
that might aid
the cause of getting
the package released?

mircea_popescu: anywya, i
think ima reprint (and adnotate)
the
trinque -linked bolix discussion, because i fear it's so concise and
the language so
tense, nobody, including myself, will understand wtf was being said in a few more years.

take but one simple example: suppose you
thought of
the new millennium when you wrote your application back in 1972 -- not only wouldn't you be invited

those who knew you had done it right from
the start and who probably laughed at you at

the vuln in
the most
traditional way, complete with 'responsible disclosure'ism and a boeck-style 'researcher' ; nao spinning in every propaganda organ in unison as 'pgp broken!'
mircea_popescu: venice, for instance, was nominally ended by napoleon, but it actually
transformed beyond functionality once charles soldiers got
the girls so fucking wet centuries prior.

the specific case of czechoslovakia,
they got wet because
tanks in prague. now and again "science fiction" pops up containing gender-indeterminate species, which choose a gender by context, "with joe in
the room i'm samantha
the slut, but when moe's around i'm butch".
this is EXACTLY how societies work,
they are gendered by context, and sending a bunch of
tanks can very well fli

trinque:
the narcissism of each character is cartoonish, but here we are amidst even more cartoonish pieces of shit claiming
their bundle of infantile urges is an identity.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-14#1813129 << in recent
trilema
terms one could say it captures
the moment where patriarchy gave way
to matriarchy in one man's mind and coincidentally at
the same
time in
that man's country.
this is not altogether a lossy summary, and it betrays literary value in
the work.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: anyway,
there's an important point in stalin's life, and
that is
the war. he visibly matured from 1939
to 1943, 1942 even.
three years, but he went from being 14
to being 25.
mircea_popescu: but he only had
the space
to do
this because hitler was fucking inept, put
the hot iron
to
the wound for him.\
mircea_popescu: really ? cuz i seem
to recall a whole bunch of ukr ustasa groups.
mircea_popescu: "no mother, your son shouldn't die
to rescrue
the ukrs" very different ring
to it.
mircea_popescu: yes, but only because foolishly crosssed
the don. see ?
mircea_popescu: (and no,
the dream of "soviet integration" is moscow-only.
the russians were
tribes, with
the georgians about as russian as
the small rus')
mircea_popescu: they will -- because
they know in 1940 if
they don't
they'll be sitting around in 1960 worrying china might come.
mircea_popescu: well
this is what's said.
take ukraina, but leave russians with
the caucasus, and send
them
to wipe china.
mircea_popescu: by
the
time white settlers actually followed, 90% of
the locals had been shot or displaced.
mircea_popescu: anyway, point being :
the great push west was mostly done by indians
themselves.
mircea_popescu: you figure
the average indian
tribe was possessed enough
to ~WASTE~ however many galon's worth of whiskey
to get a rifle ? no way no how.
mircea_popescu: i get it, jews are inadherent
to history. nevertheless -- indians were part of "alliances" among western powers regularly.
mircea_popescu: really ? how do you
think sioux got horses and rifles ?
mircea_popescu: in
the end,
this is
the only military strategy
that EVER worked ; it is how alexander conquered "the world"
to
the degree of having cesar weep on his
tomb ; it's how
the mongol horde worked, it's how
the "shocking" ottoman empire worked, it's how war works when it does.
mircea_popescu: i doubt stalin actually wanted
the ukraine. much better if hitler shoots
them all.
mircea_popescu: anyway, amusingly enough had
the german strategy employed so far been employed consistently (ie, stopped at
the don, offered
the russians military help
to go conquer china), we'd most likely be drinking bavarese altogether.
mircea_popescu: it's not so hard
to
take ammo production figures for 1940, multiply by 10k, divide by russian land surface and look at
the figure.
mircea_popescu: (and about half
the general staff knew or suspected as much,
too)
mircea_popescu: germany was doomed once it broke
the pact.
they didn't know ; neither did
the russkies know (not even stalin, he just got lucky, but lucky with brown underwear). and
the british self-importantly gave
their ex-contender in
the great race
two weeks. but by
the
time
they crossed
the don,
the germans were doomed.
mircea_popescu: and no,
the poles were never going
to be
the sioux at any point past about 1100.
the generalplan ost was late by about eight centuries -- and
this is ENTIRELY unsuperable.
mircea_popescu: obviously "everyone was mentally inadherent
to reality" -- but
the first set produced
the bible and
the nth set were called john smith.
mircea_popescu: this is not
true, which is why boston is not darien. it's
true
that
the original colony was eaten by wolves in both cases ; but one in 1600 and
the other in 1800, see.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
there's actually a lot of substance
to
the rooseveltian-socialist "the hitler-socialists were pretty divorced from reality" claims / agitprop. even if not usually
the substance
they'd like
there
to be.
mircea_popescu: somehow "the poles are not
the fucking sioux, nutmeg!" just didn't
turn any wheels.
