slave empire that works, otherwise it's a comparison of something with nothing)
mp_en_viaje: which was kinda my point : for all the in-universe supposed glory,
slave empire dun work in any practical sense.

slave empire which produced and employed it.
BingoBoingo: Indeed requires
slave empire or thing approximating. Fiberglass thing however... lower organizational demands.

mircea_popescu: whole point of their exercise is "you can be a

slave empire. (here, "
slave" is the republican term of art, not the imperial term of art. it denotes something akin to "everyone living in socialism" or "the products of a bureaucratic state", the guys populating 1984.)

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: now tell me she wouldn't be happier as a declared
slave for a republican lord ; rather than a doublespoken
slave for nobody-in-particular in the stupid
empire.
mircea_popescu: and if today we were to make
slave republic, the result won't be you know, this is the island of
slave republic, mthat is the island of progressive
empire, that is the etc.

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: it is an absurd situation, to hate the usg and propose "independent people" are the solution, then look at what "soberania y patria bla bla" idiots make and decide you'd rather see a
slave empire in its place.
mircea_popescu: t. it is not only, and not principally, and arguably barely at all the sin of inept us management that it drives the productive forces of its
slave empire into dead ends.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the existential, fundamental, first and foremost threat to bitcoin is emerging to be, the essentially centralizing nature of the modern human.
slave's born to live in
empire, so if there's a lot of slaves, there'll be an
empire. once nero died it wasn't a case of "ah fucking finally, now we can go back to republic". no, it was "WE MUST HAS EMPEROR! EVEN GALBA!"
mircea_popescu: i guess it boggles his mind because it makes a point he doesn't wish to hear. anyway, race has exactrly nothing to do with it : woman can either be my
slave, out to carve your
empire into the dust, or one of the
empire's own aspirationally-vacuous wastes of flesh, brigading social media so that maybe it has some effect on reality.
