☟︎ mircea_popescu: they had these whole-plastic sandals for little girls. which poor girls wore, and which were an insta-ban from mp's circles.
diana_coman: ugh, I thought those were modern day idiocy
mircea_popescu: nah, 100% injected plastic sandals for little girls. well boys too i guess, if they were faggots.

mircea_popescu: rubberized wellingtons make sense. not as leisurewear, but legit work garb.
diana_coman: yes, exactly; tbh I hated the *mud* that made them a necessity, myeah
mircea_popescu: so you have no recollection of this item ? i could fucking draw it. came in absurd colors too, like plastic-purple or plastic-orange
mircea_popescu: you could tell the composition by the palette it supported.
diana_coman: no, I don't; we always had leather shoes/sandals and I suppose I did not really notice much what others had for shoes
diana_coman: somehow not-leather meant not-shoe; and tbh romania really was good at making leather shoes so dunno
mircea_popescu: the problem with unsystematic preservation -- teh internets dun seem to contain.
diana_coman: I don't doubt it; precisely my point above: they will go for whatever is cheapest available regardless of anything else
diana_coman: rather: for cheapest available that still retains the *form* of what it's supposed to be, at least to some degree; otherwise they could go barefoot one would think
mircea_popescu: consider what the (immensely popular at the time) item says : "la tarani le-a luat pamintul, la studenti le-a luat cuvintul, la soferi le-a luat benzina, la prosti le facea cu mina". ie, the peasants HAD land. how ? when ? without the fucking communists the usg-alligned maniu, bratianu & friends would be STILL dithering over minor land distributions. exactly like the usgstan does.

diana_coman: then he lost all the animals "colectivizare"
mircea_popescu: diana_coman yes, pre-communism romania had private land ownership, resulting in "tarani" as the genertal noun not having any land.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suppose the criticism is that "he reduced land diffusion, in that changed a situation where 10% owned some land to a situation where 0% owned some land"
mircea_popescu: diana_coman the question is what the other peasants considered him, it's an exonym.
diana_coman: on the other side, grandfather ran away from land basically because he hated it
diana_coman: the "idiotic work" and "fucking potato soup"
mircea_popescu: so what, he went to north pole, lived off polar bear ?
diana_coman: nope, he went away as young lad with pretty much whatever he could find; he tried them all from religious missionaries/sects/whatevers to singing; in the end he settled in town and worked as a worker in a factory, saved, bought some land, built the house *with his own hands* etc
mircea_popescu: poor rural modern (and i guess postmodern) societies will eat potato, it's exactly a "cheapest available" item as per above.
diana_coman: well yes, funnily enough his family was certainly poorer than those on the other side, yes; still, he actually made more for himself overall
diana_coman: and ftr he always kept a perfectly well-worked garden ; at some point he even sold his produce in the market

MAKE DECISIONS!!! has options! may at his leisure obey republic or not. and so on.
mircea_popescu: discussions of "rape" in the public space today, as discussions of "unfairness" in the same public space a century ago are then all meaningless in the direct, simple manifestations of a doomed culture. "oh noes, our precious imaginary superiority was insulted by reality, there's a hole in the matrix through which you can perceive you AREN'T the single playing character in a WoWoW".
