jurov: when there was
soviet union
phf: also was
soviet strategy, hence "propaganda" which ignoring retarded western stereotypes was primarily not about "north korea best korea!", but about teaching what "
soviet man of future" was supposed and wasn't supposed to do. "
soviet man of future cooperates in prisoners dilemma!"
phf: i know an astrophysicist who does botany for a hobby, he's from
soviet union though..
phf: trinque: ru has a phrase to describe the nature of that debate: "ура наши победили" direct translation is "yaay ours have won!!". specific word choice evokes early
soviet propaganda movies, where "ours" were of course the red cavalry, and the phrase would typically be uttered by some country bumpkin recruited for the cause of the revolution.

soviet/slabby side, but it's not without its charming details, particularly the entabulatures.

mircea_popescu: and whatever, they had some maybe-promising beginnings in modernist art ; but the narrowminded
soviet derps (lenin & gf front and center) fucked it up.
mircea_popescu: so fucking stupid.
soviet workers shoveled dirt in the very core of the blasted ukrainian plant.
mircea_popescu: much like kid in
soviet lands, with a catalogue for to apply stamps for a prize. there's the spaces clearly delineated ; and no stamps. ever.
mircea_popescu: there is no genuine strong woman in
soviet cinematography, except for the occasional bit part playing "nazis".
mircea_popescu: it's a good yarn, especially for the people nostalgic for the
soviet 70s.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> but in this sense, merely writing c code is the sin ; compiling it in the nazi flavour of socialism or in the
soviet flavour of socialism, llvm vs gcc, is sort-of like, what flowers to leave on the raped body, roses or tulips. << Kalanchoe!

mircea_popescu: tell you what, contrary to what russian speakers thought,
soviet union contained no engineers, no teachers, naught else. just whores.
Framedragger: meanwhile the fella in question starts saying "he was too *tame*", and (sic) "in
soviet times the guy would have had it so much worse!!" (with glee, etc.) (i don't know, this is kinda kusturica-like to me)
a111: Logged on 2015-11-20 01:49 asciilifeform: like
soviet typewriter fp.
phf: i like that story i read on livejournal long time ago. this
soviet guy was telling, so he's sent to forced farming на посевы, bunch of guys digging for potatoes, middle of fucking nowhere. and then there's news, some deposed aristocrat is sent to join, so naturally jokes all around, since the toilet is a mess (it's a bunch of guys!) "how's his excellency going to use the facilities справлять нужду" "probably unaccustomed to working
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes quite exactly. a sort of "when
soviet army provisions jets, it provisions tupolevs!" what the fuck difference does this make to wage slave trying to get from point a to point b ?
mircea_popescu: if
soviet us were any good, they'd just replace it with a normal china teapot
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wouldn't i make a great
soviet shop keeper ?
phf: 40 seconds in, i switched from watching that video to watching an old
soviet cartoon..
mircea_popescu: this is in no substantial way different from the "Reisistance through culture" of the
soviet "intellectuals" aka schmucks.
mircea_popescu: by now an idiot familiar to
soviet journos is well at work in the "mainstream" media. his job ? stick talking points into unrelated items.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
soviet phones were owned by state corp, say. << Many phones still owned by descendants of original AT&T still collect rent

soviet sphere quite certainly did not fall because su (or ro, or any) police ran out of cars to burn. but because gorbachev wanted his flat in manhattan.

soviet state in its fight to flatten any curl of independence in its perceived domains is probably never getting established.

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway.
soviet crazies, what can i tell you, and why should i care.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, considerations of "abstract thinkers" who are really metaphysicians, such as "will people be able to breathe ???" are not to be considered. if they are they live if they are not they die. nobody cares. whether leika comes back down or not is not a point of consideration in the
soviet space programme.
mircea_popescu: (brought to you by the people who believe closing factories and making "transfer payments" to "workers" is a superior pareto alternative to
soviet planned economy)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ironically, this was great savings initiative in
soviet lands 1970s
phf: mircea_popescu: c'mon we are reminiscing, "in
soviet union men wrought tools out of steal and built bridges that lead to god's own gates! women made pillows that were feather but light than feathers and as you lay on those pillows you needed to sleep for five minutes, but it was as if you slept ad libitum"
phf: see you guys were wise, our assumption was that we're going to a better
soviet union, not zimbabwe ;)
phf: and by "everybody" you mean people who haven't gotten to throwing out grandpa's toolbox yet, and like the whole 6 of breed
Soviet Engineers (two in argentina, one in south korea and the rest in u.s.)
mircea_popescu: otherwise what, send everything in triplicate, like it's
soviet union time ?
a111: Logged on 2016-05-27 11:50 mircea_popescu: and speaking of which, anyone saw "chasing amy" ? the piece of shit is iiiiincredible in terms of sheer
soviet propagandaness, it's basically a 1997 intro manual for how to be a "sensitive" aka dickless libtard boi.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: by the time this is actually needed, all that'll be about as interesting as
soviet rubles.
phf: i realize more and more that the fall of
soviet union was to my great disadvantage.
mircea_popescu: you know incidentally, if the current nazi party were in fact in
soviet russia we'd prolly all be working for the same home depot doing a very... disturbing version of clerks, the movie series.
mircea_popescu: "Neatly mirroring the decaying implementation of Justice in the
Soviet Union fifty years prior, The United States Congress is considering changing a number of rule changes to the Federal Rules of"
mircea_popescu goes to check if qntra article references expansions of police judicial powers in
soviet union.
mircea_popescu: phf yeah, those were mostly the glory days of
soviet cinema, truck caravans with projectors embedded touring the country like a sort of circus act on steroids. the latter "tour bus" / "cocksucker blues" us star worship stuff but a pale copy.
mircea_popescu: punkman> could have various proxies, mpex-style <<< yeah, the republic will start printing bitcoin to finance an inept war with the idiot us, because the us is caught in dreams of its war with the
soviet union and its delusional relevancy therein.
pete_dushenski: nah, he'll remind you that
soviet chick doesn't need to know when 'wall falls', just needs to know right guy to get her through to other side. there was mega-thread on this at one point.
phf:
soviet joke. americans purchase a sukhoi airplane from soviets, comes in parts, there's assembly instructions though. so they go through the process, result is a working tractor. wtf. they break it down, assemble again, tractor again. so they call russian, "wtf, tried assembling all we get is a tractor", su responds "please read fine print, `the product needs to be finalized with a judicial application of hammer and file`"
mircea_popescu: speaking of ancient arcana - who even noticed that the
soviet ideas of central planning are a direct calc copy off the way turkish empire ran ?
mircea_popescu: what was that derpy
soviet thing that wanted to be an independent art movement ?
mircea_popescu:
soviet world had it's own free subset ; much like the 1984 world has its free subset. the people running the black market that orwell does not even wish to consider.
mircea_popescu: it is NOT a usg crown hedgefund anymore than romania was a
soviet property.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform much like
soviet economy endgame, stuff isn't being replaced. simply removed.
assbot: Logged on 25-02-2016 18:40:53; phf: their whole experience of su is through intourist propotainment and politruk control. who's going to let an american nobody in a company of the valuable products of
soviet system. it's a needless risk. at best you get invited to some aparatchik family dinner and get to playbelieve "i was even friends with a russian family!"

soviet sense i guess.
