mircea_popescu: my point being that the fat, obnoxious 12 yo girl is related, but not substantially, to the hottie.
asciilifeform: (from some first-hand familiarity) it is not clear to me that they were in any sense eaten, they are still here. marching round with picket signs , e.g., 'PROTECT MY [picture of cat] FROM TRUMP'
mircea_popescu: you know, like the first boston.
asciilifeform: incidentally the cross-ocean folx were largely in the 1890-1910 wave, from belorussia and elsewhere, pushed by pobedonostsev's famous 'rule of thirds'
mircea_popescu: the pale is east of warsaw west of moscow.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you mean -- living ~inside~ the pale ?
mircea_popescu: in the exact unwelcome manner a 12 half-sister would help the adult beauty get laid.
mircea_popescu: the fatass really really wanted to be you know, IN IT! and so she "helped"
mircea_popescu: the relationship essentialized to a brincusian level is like this : there was an adult, and quite fetching jewish body living outside the pale. which is not just poland, even if by poland you mean the lithuanian-polish commonwealth, ie a historical state larger than russia in all respects. aside from this, across the ocean was an acneic fat 12yo girl some cadet branch had with an irish "handsome rover from town to town" blabl

mircea_popescu: they were smoking a big fat joint of wanna-be.
asciilifeform: i have 0 idea what any of these people were smoking.
mircea_popescu: yes, and condemned by people like the previously mentioned satmar.
asciilifeform: also the hypothesis that these were 'faux j00z' and the real ones - all killed in warsaw -- does not stand. the folx calling for boycott of germany in '30s, etc., were grandparents of 'freedom riders', and great-grandparents of the chix i was 'protesting' with last night.
mircea_popescu: the whole body of americana actually needs a #NotAThing cold-pressed on each sentece.
mircea_popescu: so now "being jewish" is yet another flavour or three of being you know, southern emo preacher / martin luther king is luther 2.0 sorta nonsense.
mircea_popescu: much like "jewish" being hijacked by some alt-alt-neoprotestants from fucking ohio. all the actual jews ie hasids being dead.
asciilifeform: it was a quite overt surrender of territory, the idiot rulers of the time saw it as 'temporary' strategic retreat
asciilifeform: there were no tank divisions, but there ~were~ molotov-thrower divisions. in '60s, when they hijacked what was left of usa university system to push 'studies' etc
mircea_popescu: and dorks a la curtis yarvin & friends go around dribbling "hey, since they're behaving AS IF they had the division, therefore they have them yes ?" as fucking if.
mircea_popescu: somehow the basic "first, the tank divisions ; THEN the new words / definitions" failed to connect with their heads.
mircea_popescu: that's the major point all the wanna-be mini-lacans fail to comprehend. "oh, we'll pick a set of presumptions, construct a language, and make up intricate literature in it!" "nobody cares." "huh ?" "you don't get to say, "hey, consider THIS premise"." "why not ?" "because you're not cool enough."
asciilifeform: in ~human~ terms it dun mean much. go and try to translate the barely-audible chitter of weevils.

mircea_popescu: PeterL centralized police force is not avoidable, but i daresay this is a failure of the population not so much of the government.
mircea_popescu: and hence the logic - policeman costs about 15x what your "protesters" cost, wtf is with the wastage you're ddosing the interior affairs ministry.
asciilifeform: normally they are preprinted and quite tedious
asciilifeform: this one was actually unusual for the handwritten pickets
mircea_popescu: aha. that was the problem here exactly - they couldn't even get all the pros to show up. unoficially it was like... dude, you got -500 people in the street wtf.
asciilifeform: 'protest' in dc is a very 'argentine' thing, there are 'pros' who show up to ~every~ one, with same props even, ~weekly
mircea_popescu: word. there were like 3.5-5k police in the street, like 1.5-2k "protestors" of the most copacetic, "someone paid me 100 pesos and bussed me in to be here and what is this?" countryside yokel ylk.
mircea_popescu: for flavour, right after macri was elected the peronistas (you know, the idiots with the http://trilema.com/2015/marcha-de-las-dumbas/ ) threatened for weeks to throw a huge protest rally. in the end the government mobilized more troops than the actual protestor count and because of it macri showed them the bill for the "manifestation" and politely asked them to refrain because the money to pay for the police's coming straigh
asciilifeform: btw i dunno if this was obvious from the pic, but the thing in dc was Officially sanctioned, there were police cars to herd traffic away, etc
mircea_popescu: aaanyway. much like in romania a decade ago, much like in argentina three years ago, the ACTUAL turnover at these "massive" protests where the entrenched "progressive" niggerdom was supposed to pour its heart, soul and mostly spleen are shockingly underwhelming.
mircea_popescu: somehow this makes sense to them. "HE WILL BE DIVISIVE". it's like listening to stupid overentitled housewives argue domestically.
mircea_popescu: "Chicago resident Michael Burke said he believes the president-elect will "divide the country and stir up hatred." He added there was a constitutional duty not to accept that outcome." << more of the same pretzel. "we have been pouring armed monkeys from the border for years - rhodesian govt has been trying to maintain order WHICH IS RACISM"
asciilifeform: i meant the old 20th c.-style malnutrition. they were a head shorter than the chix i remember from uni
mircea_popescu: it's obvious, but not specific. at the same age, the same chick was malnourished in romania in the 90s, on the basis of a strict mineral-water-and-pufuleti diet.
asciilifeform: they looked like 1930s (not yet '40s, no) ghetto folk
asciilifeform: one strange thing i noticed in the great writhing mass of student chix last night (there will be a larger one, supposedly, tonight, with mr t. in town!111 but i dunno if i can be arsed to go photohunt again) is the malnutrition
mircea_popescu: but i bet you now and here - i can teach crack whore structuralist linguistics to the standard of defeating the average us college professor within weeks ; you will not be able to teach "student" to get out of rain / paper bag within year.
mircea_popescu: (for the record - average crack whore sampled off us highway today is, in point of fact and as any sort of practical measure of intelligence will show - far above average "student" sampled off us campus.)
asciilifeform: 'Five people were shot and injured in an area near the protest, but police said the shootings and the demonstration were unrelated.' << lel
mircea_popescu: o we did ? kay then.
mircea_popescu: i much favour the whore mask because it shows the important traits of humble adaptation which are much more valuable in a female than "intelligence" or whatever, "having a personality"
mircea_popescu: (obama, incidentally, teh great scholar etc, is on the record having nfi how many states there are. because they don't learn that in kenyan jr high. and besides - he was on college on a nigger scholarship not an academic one.)
mircea_popescu: "from new england to heartland cities like kansas city and along ther west coast" ie, we almost managed a coupla of these per state, especially if you're like us and can't actually say how many states there are.
mircea_popescu: "demonstrators - blabla - FLOODED". you know, all 12 of them.

mircea_popescu: "Asked how they would feel about a Trump presidency, more than a third of Americans said they would be frightened, exit polls found. Among those who voted for Hillary Clinton, the feeling was almost unanimous and reflected a deep divide: 92 percent said Mr. Trump scared them."

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, word around the campfire is that the tman is not so very impressed with the whole "carbon" gargle, and consequently it's likely going away. which is what drives the "scientists" in the nobel camp - they're at risk of losing about 1/3 of all public treasury leeching currently availabe ; talk of a recession in the snake oil biz.
pete_dushenski: o shit and donald sutherland is canadian. til.
pete_dushenski: on the movie side, we've got jim carey, ryan gosling, and mike myers
pete_dushenski: canada has a strong moat of homegrown talent to further dissuade hollyrubes from entering, eg. celine dion, drake, bieber
mircea_popescu: you're telling me they're practically the establishment cocksucker, not worth a name much like the spittoon by the corner of the bar ain't worth a name ?!
mircea_popescu: you're telling me all the derpy pop starlets aren't bachs and mozarts and liszts of their own self ?!
mircea_popescu: you are now telling me that nobody gives a shit, that these ITEMS grow like mushrooms past money rain, and that if she leaves sbhe'll be forgotten in 5 minutes under a sea of nirvana-copycats ?
mircea_popescu: no really ? i thought "empty eyes what's her face" (check out the indian names lol) got worth and value in and of herself, and you know, she'll just leave and her fans will follow.

pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1564980 << not bloody likely. such empty threats are the same fuel shillary used to fuel her campaign and that which crywhale's now emptily threaten to off themselves.
mircea_popescu: " Think of how wrong the entire national media conversation wasand yes, I contributed my fair shareabout how the Republicans were being torn apart as a party."
mircea_popescu: "The ace ground game, the brilliant ad-makers, the top Hollywood talent, and the best analytics operation ever assembled? This was all a joke."
mircea_popescu: "The voters of the party got taken for a ride by the people who controlled it, the ones who promised they had everything figured out and sneeringly dismissed anyone who suggested otherwise. They promised that Hillary Clinton had a lock on the Electoral College. These people didnt know what they were talking about, and too many of us in the media thought they did." and so on.
mircea_popescu: bahamas' ineptitude, and the aparat's incompetence also helped, of course.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this just in : democratic party has ~same level of political clout / practical control as the libertarians traditionally do ; and significantly less cachet than the tea party at its peak. they're going to be content with... municipal politics, for the next 4+ years.
mircea_popescu: on the strength of their actually measured record, scored via brier or any other method you choose, lockin === silver, both of them somewhere in the morass of loud, potentially dangerous, practically useless idiots.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1564885 << his bile is unwarranted. silver the dope, locklin the dope, what the fuck's the difference.
mircea_popescu: one doesn't need to look far ; just going by the daily precedent there's about 5k or so counts clinton can go to jail for, totalling about 1mn years or so.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1564881 << yeah, because totally "america" is one tiny, culturally irrelevant backwater on that continent, in the sense of you know, what some dorks allegedly from there say on obscure myspace.
mircea_popescu: understand : plow cca celtic times needed 100 plowmen to feed a soldier. there's no conceivable way humanity goes back to keltic time.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform intrinsic in that proposition is the core of socialism, which is to say that walkers have value by presence alone. i doubt this is ever coming back. maybe in case of major extinction event
mircea_popescu: well... he does mean a specific thing, by that "blood and earth" thing, which is a pre-modern notion of the value of money.
PeterL: mircea_popescu the Krugman quote I was kinda trying to turn into a joke about Trump being labeled winner here, I dun think it came across right
asciilifeform: there is ocean of this nonsense, above is sample preserved here in amber for entomological purposes.
mircea_popescu: anyway, lulz at the self-important declarative nonsense from nobody-on-social-media.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1564876 << not likely. but the whole "iraq offensive" is going away, and possibly ru will stand down in syria (nobody really likes the cost of a war past the first few weeks). so in that sense, yes.
