mircea_popescu: it used to be latin, affero, where it meant to bring (ferry comes from the same fero root). it moved into french, where it meant to take over. it then slowly moved into a more figurative "to give oneself the airs of an office one does not yet have", at which point it moved into english, "to give oneself airs".

mircea_popescu: in any case, i have had opportunity to try this in the field : when i maneuvered teh demonstrators around the "security cordon", they didn't do anything. they fell back. cuz wtf were they gonna do.

ascii_field: or else why the ceasefire
ascii_field: so apparently they cared ?
mircea_popescu: im sure they deeply cared.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: if they had massacred the fbi troops, the likely response (according to some sources, it was already in the works at the time) was aerial bombardment until nothing moves
mircea_popescu: in fact anyone even survived to tell the story because these derps allowed it. could just as well have executed the entire bunch.
mircea_popescu: the funny thing is, that the "marginally retarded" (which they were) had the usg agents so badly beaten it was fucking ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: "After the ceasefire, the Branch Davidians allowed the ATF dead and wounded to be evacuated and held their fire during the ATF retreat."
ascii_field: they were ~to usg~
mircea_popescu: i do not for a moment believe the ridiculous antics of nutty neoprotestant biggots in rural texas are a nucleation for anything.

mircea_popescu: there WAS, briefly, a thing called usa. it started cca 1905 and ended cca 1960

ascii_field: shorthand for 'the lands which became modern usa'
ascii_field is taking 'very start' to refer, as it conventionally did, to the english colonies of 17th and 18th c.

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: for my enlightenment, formulate example of 'usable' hypothesis here ?
mircea_popescu: for one thing "usa" did not exist from the very start.

ascii_field: usa is a 'divide and conquer' affair from the very start.

mircea_popescu: there is no purpose to human affairs.

ascii_field: re: the dope wars: wake me up when dea agents are packed off to jails for enforcing their laws, and convoyed by state national guard if need be
mircea_popescu: this is like observing that beggars are absent from the countryside.

mircea_popescu: and b) that there's scant relation between the raping of the usg in the states as per the marijuana thing ands the raping of the usg in other states as per the blacks thing
ascii_field: fact is, poor whites are virtually absent from urban centers. whether martians removed them, or something else, can be debated. the demographics - not so much
mircea_popescu: what remains here is : a) that the usg is very vulnerable, has always been, and far from a "you can do nothing to us" a top guy is killed every few decades, and the lower agents get popped daily.
mircea_popescu: i am unpersuaded by that, either.
ascii_field: short version, proto-usg squeezed out poor white catholics, who were slow to 'get with the program', from urban centers, with 'population replacement' gambit where 'housing projects' were built and filled with lumpens
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller if you think about it, 3 mn is not really all that much.
thestringpuller: black people cared more about the death of MLK than JFK...
ascii_field: other thread
mircea_popescu: well then ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field that aside, your theory was that the entire black lives matter narrative is somehow "at cia's pleasure" and for the purpose of countering the "arrest feds" movement.
mircea_popescu: eh it's about telling stories. how the heck wouldja infer that "at cia's pleasure" either.
