mircea_popescu: “Those who organized, who perpetrated the attacks are the very same people who the refugees are fleeing and not the opposite,” Agence-France Presse quoted Mr. Juncker as saying. “And so there is no need for an overall review of the European policy on refugees.”
mircea_popescu: "Dans deux mois, l'Algérie élira ses représentants dans les mêmes conditions que le fera la métropole. Mais, il faudra qu'au moins les deux tiers de ses représentants soient des citoyens musulmans. Autre chose se rapporte à l'avenir.

BingoBoingo: btcdrak: ty, do you want to do a qntra on it?
mircea_popescu: non au cataclysme universel. Devant la race des hommes aujourd'hui, il n'y a que deux routes : la guerre ou la fraternité. En Algérie comme partout, la France, pour sa part, a choisi la Fraternité. Vive la République, vive l'Algérie et la France !"
btcdrak: BingoBoingo: I would love too, finding time is the problem atm.
mircea_popescu: " C’est très bien qu’il y ait des Français jaunes, des Français noirs, des Français bruns.
mircea_popescu: Ils montrent que la France est ouverte à toutes les races et qu’elle a une vocation universelle. Mais à condition qu’ils restent une petite minorité. Sinon, la France ne serait plus la France . Nous sommes quand même avant tout un peuple européen de race blanche, de culture grecque et latine et de religion chrétienne.
mircea_popescu: Qu’on ne se raconte pas d’histoire ! Les musulmans, vous êtes allés les voir ? Vous les avez regardés avec leurs turbans et leurs djellabas ? Vous voyez bien que ce ne sont pas des Français. Ceux qui prônent l’intégration ont une cervelle de colibri, même s’ils sont très savants. Essayez d’intégrer de l’huile et du vinaigre. Agitez la bouteille. Au bout d’un moment, ils se sépareront de nouveau.
mircea_popescu: Les Arabes sont des Arabes, les Français sont des Français. Vous croyez que le corps français peut absorber dix millions de musulmans, qui demain seront vingt millions et après-demain quarante ? Si nous faisions l’intégration, si tous les Arabes et les Berbères d’Algérie étaient considérés comme Français, comment les empêcherez-vous de venir s’installer en métropole, alors que le niveau de vie y est

mircea_popescu: aha. it shocks me, by the way, that supposedly college educated anglos lack the ability to recall major speeches.
mircea_popescu: i mean, not having any idea what hitler said, whatever, they're stupid. but not de gaulle either ? not anyone ? "i have a dream" an' thassit ?

mircea_popescu: if i use plain letters "oh, it's not found", if i use shitmarks, either.
mircea_popescu: do you know why ? because it would have proven in practice the stupidity/irrelevance of the shitmark scheme
mircea_popescu: "why bother with shitmarks when search runs on sanity anyway"
mircea_popescu: obviously searching for just "colombey-les-deux" happily yields 5000 fucking references to the guy's birthplace on that site, but not the actual relevant speech.
mircea_popescu: check it out, they purged fucking symbolism out of their version of history too!

mircea_popescu: all the problems of idiots come from idiots having been given money.
mircea_popescu: it will have to be burned out of the idiot society, one way or another.
mircea_popescu: back when Colombey-les-Deux-Églises consists of 100 french people, it has some money to pay for five stupid women to go to new york and "live just like in that movie"
mircea_popescu: once 100 young male able bodied orcs move in, there's going to be 500 more kids the next decade, and not enough money to pay for halfd that many abortions
mircea_popescu: in other words, turns out i hate contemporary europe a helluva lot more than i hate muslims. which i suppose makes me exactly a libertard, politically.

phf: fwiw kakobrekla's log is not fucking up the text. mp is sending latin-1, so kako's utf-8 reader substitutes ? for broken utf sequences. there's not much that can be done. could try and guess the encoding on a per-message basis, could also just pass through the messages 8bit clean and let the browser complain. the last option allows you to play the good old "guess the page encoding by switching between them until the right one comes out"
phf: the easiest option is for mp to make sure that his client is sending utf-8 at all times, but i've no idea what ungodly combination of xterm/xchat settings achieves that reliably
mircea_popescu: moreover, the text i fucking used as a base is latin-1.
mircea_popescu: everything must support everything that EVER EXISTED or go die.
phf: i suspect that your client is 8bit clean and simply passes things through as they are given to it
trinque: I took pains to make sure what ended up deeded didn't end up mangled from kakobrekla's copy; bytes in bytes out

mircea_popescu: and re the oil discussion : the matter is very complex, notwithstanding how important it is. and yes, broadly speaking it's correct to say that the trend is to move "technical basis" of price away from "marginal cost of new capacity" to "operating cost of extant capacity". the reason for this however i propose is not by a longshot policy, but purely existential (in simple terms, we, ie the world, ie white people are mo
