trinque: there seems to be an ever-growing category of americans which can't handle the slightest jostle of their emotional state.
trinque: pollution? death-rattle of a country? I'm not sure.
mircea_popescu: well, they weren't beaten as kids. so how'd they be sane as adults.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> she wasn't nice to him. << Apparently there is a manifesto. He's also pissed about the black church fires and Dylan Storm Roof.
mircea_popescu: trinque i don't see why it has to listen to anyone else.
trinque: and yes, I think it's abundantly clear that being raised in an environment without consequences yields horrible results.
trinque: and that someone being oh so very upset with you is not a consequence.
trinque: I certainly wasn't arbitrarily attacked in childhood, but I knew very well that certain behavior choices would result in an ass-kicking.
trinque: and I think that's exactly the right approach.
ascii_field: i think this one might be the first 1stperson-pov-filmed postal in usa

gribble: Error: "googe" is not a valid command.
trinque: sounds like an unpleasant substance
trinque: I suppose it'd be short-lived.
trinque: were these instances of people acting out common around the soviet collapse?
mircea_popescu: this collapse couldn't be more unlike that collapse in the following fundamental way :
mircea_popescu: the soviet state was a slow, inept drain on the resources of an otherwise powerful, self reliant and resourceful population.
mircea_popescu: contrariwise, the usg is a competent prop of an otherwise inept, worthless and disabled population.
mircea_popescu: the us is going to fail like argentina and the congo, not like russia or romania.
trinque: I wonder if there's some subconscious awareness of this, being overextended and unable to help oneself.
trinque: hence nervous breakdown all over
mircea_popescu: if you push the point, you can claim the various attacks as quite edifyingly narcissistic
mircea_popescu: ascii_field what, you figure the chinese care ? i don't think they care.
mircea_popescu: they might rhodesia japan, and certainly will do something or other to korea. but the us ? i dunno.

trinque: squeezed off 3-4 at <10ft? target runs away?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: that's another thing. all these "gun violence" exponents are barely acquainted with guns.
mircea_popescu: it's like a "end violence - ban sinks" because a buncha bums keep running into houses, stealing the sinks and buldgeoning the poor ladies to death with 'em
trinque: if he'd ever picked one up before, it was in front of the mirror
mats: BingoBoingo: i don't think ABC has released it
mircea_popescu: "you don't need a sink anyway, who doesn't eat at mcd ? terrorists, that's who!"
mircea_popescu: people are wired to miss own head. but nobody's wired to miss a fucking monkey 10 feet away.
trinque: the guy was probably so internally conflicted that half of him didn't want to do it
trinque: flinching with every squeeze
mats: punkman: is a flash video, mayhaps thats why?
punkman: mats, I downloaded it, but such scam, too short
mircea_popescu: trinque untrained shooters have problems controlling their own reactions to the noise/physical stress.
trinque: everything paints a picture of impulsive lashing out, not some plan, and certainly nothing deserving a "manifesto"
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: actually, even before the round fires - 'anticipatory flinch'
mats: i dunno about impulsive, if he was telling the truth about getting the handgun ~3mos ago
mircea_popescu: trinque the manifesto is prolly just the nigger activistas creaming their pants
mircea_popescu: "whay none of these tyrones can wraet good like white folks! we should do something about it!"
trinque: mats: I dunno that I'd equate not being able to muster the (what? not courage) to do it == having a plan
mircea_popescu: "here's something that i just had my secretary type up and it was subseuqently found yesterday in the guy's dirty laundry bin."
trinque: nobody on the continent has a plan
trinque: just knows how having one looks on tv
ascii_field: if he had a plan, there'd be a ruined bridge or demolished dam
ascii_field: because it is abundantly clear that the standard u.s. 'postal' is going for tlp/fantasy-actualization, rather than partizan/corpse-maximization
mircea_popescu: if he had a plan, he'd have gone with a vest at one of those endless "conferences", except one for law enforcement. that's where all the alread-stole-enough DEA agents & c go to prowl for young meat.
mircea_popescu: roll around in plastique, roll around in bearing balls.
ascii_field: fire holds the record thus far in north amer.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field fuel bombs are great but impossible to deliver on foot.

mircea_popescu: this said, it should be interesting to see what happens if there's say a coordinated booming of all the dams on the sacramento river. 15 minute intervals, going downstream.
mircea_popescu: currently there exists 0 example of a terrorist attack that actually justifies the government effort.
mircea_popescu: what, the terrorists bombed wall street ? uh oh, man in the street is so upset.
ascii_field: my point was that whatever it was the 'postal' folks were optimizing for, it certainly isn't max damage or even intimidation
ascii_field: and the only thing they all have in common is that they play into the hands of usg agenda.
mircea_popescu: (incidentally : usable demolition charges are so unremarkable, they had to make a special treaty so everyone agrees to outlaw untagged charges. which is why all the brouhaha about "Sniffing explosives". properly made c4/semtex etc are not actually detectable on their own)
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i dun see it, just because you ex post facto define that agenda (as do they) doesn't mean it;'s anything
ascii_field: (ever wonder why the stereotypical arabian explosive is the suicidally unstable peroxide of acetone? no N !)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the detector is commercially-available, and mostly works
mircea_popescu: im sure if you have a lot of time and a well defined cube to look into it's useful.
ascii_field: anyone remember the lulzy 'ADE 651' scam ?
ascii_field: (one of the many fake quadrupole mineseekers)
mats: i had to google to find out what you're talking about
mats: i was never trained on such a device if .mil operates them
mats: bread n butter was handheld GPR systems and bigger ones attached to huskies
ascii_field just now learned that the quadrupole thing was, apparently, ~not~ commercially available at any point other than in scam form
ascii_field: portable mass spec / gas chromatograph for volatiles - yes
mats: and some misc sensing/jamming RF equipment intended to diddle remotely operated IEDs
