mircea_popescu: for the record, we have ample documentation as to hyow the children of the aristocracy were kept back while that stayed vigurous.
trinque: I dunno if that's an aristocratic kid if that's the full picture
phf: i don't think an aristocratic kid has to scream to get what they want, a baseline of ability is always present and taken for granted, in that sense a reddit sjw is not much different from the wealthy version of the same
trinque: right, your "causes vs purposes" is a helpful tool to sort the shit, it seems to me
mircea_popescu: the problem is that the shit you think you wish for can't be. it's the problem of the shit, not of the genie.
mircea_popescu: the genie will fullfill your wishes alrighty
trinque: perhaps the degenerate kids scream and get whatever they want, then come of age, and are incapable of wanting anything sensible
trinque: seems a matter of whether something beats the mind into accepting that the state of reality is entirely outside the control of a person, aside from a margin of error
mircea_popescu: on the plus side, i'm here, you can try various sticks.

mircea_popescu: phf the "habitual behaviour" is a good point.
mircea_popescu: for all i care they, whosoever "they" is , can fix everything tomorrow and i'll be fine with it.
mircea_popescu: the quest is to keep meaning.
mircea_popescu: in any case i would point out that "remaining in power" is not only the terminology of "the enemy" (which, here, means "of the idiots"), but actually meaningless. remain in power ? do we toil towards a bitcoind that can be used to what, "Remain in power" ? do i object to the amorphousness of words when i point out what definitions really are and why definitions must exist, do i object to the amorphousness of pseud-thou

mircea_popescu: and the proposition that russia was at any point "christian" anyway... yes, they use the word. it doth not mean anything akin to its english false friend. at all.
phf: there's also that whole tension, in christian nations, between "what christ taught" and what church needed in order to gain resources and prop up the power vertical. how should an aristocracy straddle that line between "kill yourself and your children for us and you'll go to haven" and "sell all you have, give alms to the poor". it seems like a lot of the aristocratic kids in the 19th century were sold the second version (with the full support a

mircea_popescu: (speaking of which - there's a recent, very very bad french movie which nevertheless offers perhaps the best image of that girl.
mircea_popescu: russian women had all the subterfugial value of pelicans. at least - until the soviets invented natasha.
mircea_popescu: and the brits had the impossible to undervalue advantage of women. they're fucking ugly, so they have to work hard. and they did - the empire only survived with them.
mircea_popescu: phf there's a reason "hypocrisy" appears again and again in criticism of imperial achievement.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> expected america to look like 1940s nyc << the people who worshipped nicky mantle or w/e are long dead you know.
ascii_field: if england (and europe) had a meta-europe somewhere more west, that 'we too can become like!!111!!! if we kill our king' - then they too would have decembrist revolts
trinque: seems the aristocracy can't allow their children to develop foolish ideas such as being able to change reality arbitrarily, which any kid left to his own thoughts growing up in wealth will come to believe
phf: (tsarskoye selo lyceum rather)
phf: thinking about "degenerate children", the disconnect seems to be between what is advertised as a virtue in order to strengthen rule and what is genuinely required in order to remain in power. somehow eton managed to produce generations of british elite, while petergoth lyceum first class of twenty ended in the decembrist revolt (and that was 100 years before soviet revolution)

ascii_field: (never, oddly enough, baseball. which i grew up thinking of as ~the~ american sport)

ascii_field: a few others i can't recall now.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: americanism. it is customary to describe anything political in terms used in the american football, e.g., 'playbook', 'gameplan', 'huddle'
ascii_field: this was kinda the idea though. 'now ~everyone~ can be a degenerate aristocrat!'
mircea_popescu: why not, make things better, fix the world.
mircea_popescu: give asciilifeform a proper windows license while at it, so he stops having to toil with the obscure bullshit he is now.
mircea_popescu: go ahead, "make things better" for fefeleaga by what ? giving her a breadmaking machine ? a pegassus ? what are you going to GIVE her ? a job at the local airport ? a newly built apartment ?
mircea_popescu: obviously it'll have to change then.
mircea_popescu: people like to lie and claim their failures are some sort of virtues. but they aren't. and the fact that those kids felt unequal to the responsibility of who they were supposed to be in this world... well...
mircea_popescu: and it is why i pointed out orlov's failure in the elephant story.
mircea_popescu: i don't think this is at all controversial. the degenerate children of a lost aristocracy are the primary fuel of the imbecillity of revolution.
phf: shalamov makes a convincing argument in a story about natalia klimova, one of the ladies that tried to assassinate stolypin, that the way for soviet regime was paved by people who read stories like fefeleaga and decided that something needs to be done. it was already 20 years of terrorism by mostly educated aristocracy children, "from vegetarianism and love thy neighbor to throwing bombs"
jurov: "Disable support for loading LC_CTYPE locales other than UTF-8."

mircea_popescu: (d'artagnan's origin is not coincidental, and the fact superman's not from the ozarks does not reflect too well on either the profundity or the perspectives of that culture)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it is interesting, and related, to inquire into the etymology of english word 'churl'
mircea_popescu: im so distraught that word lost its principal meaning. which was - people being "people", in the reddit sense of the term.
mircea_popescu: "it fucks your mother."
phf: that's not the right word
mircea_popescu: the main difference between the paris horde and the bucharest horde being, of course, that the former were productive. or one should say, sufficiently productive.
ascii_field: 'the art of not being governed' covers same, in indochina
mircea_popescu: (ftr, very old peoples do survive in france as well - same places they do in the east. like the normans, say, or the gascons. much hay was made by the plains populatrons about this also, at the time they were still trying to understand themselves seriously - say 3 centuries ago)
mircea_popescu: things are not what they may be perceived to be, but what is left after washed in the acid of movement and phenomena.
mircea_popescu: if your leg bends to match the tunic it's quite clear you're in fact wearing a tunic, not merely a similar looking apron.
mircea_popescu: much like you know someone's using a hammer for it being a hammer through the sign that the flat part goes to put the nail in and the fork to pull the nail back out.
mircea_popescu has seen people wearing to work the legionnaire tunics, and knows for a fact that they were wearing the same item by the unerring sign, that they used the same points of them.
jurov: more like, 12k (all the way from last ice age)
mircea_popescu: the differences between a 1500 yo people and a 2500 yo people are marked.
mircea_popescu: but the difference is deeply, fundamnetally palpable. i did recently "curs de langue et de civilisation europeene", by screening le gendarme et les gendarmettes (funes) and la liceale - al mare con amica de papa.
mircea_popescu: it is the closest thing to china outside of say greece.
mircea_popescu: this is the most successful sort of special pleading for the entire "resistance through culture" thing. which is why the argument can't be properly carried in english, etc.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field transylvania has the not-to-be-neglected advantage of two millenia of continual habitation. stuff like soviets barely register if at all.
ascii_field: over in the land of the proper orcs, tales like this were taught with the 'constructive' aim of 'see kids, THEY want to put us back in this. yes, THEY.'
ascii_field: what did the idiot kids want to 'activity' ? search for starving old blind mine horses to rescue ?
mircea_popescu: which is, as far as romanians are concerned, how hitler was invented, and the soviets are, again, just some easterners trying to be german in their retarded way.
mircea_popescu: it had ben in the curricula in that part of the country before ferdinand. which was before charles.
mircea_popescu: bless her soul, for without that it'd have ended up as yet another class of world-saving idiots.
mircea_popescu: most of the kids in teh class got all angry and actively-intensive about the fefeleaga story, but the teacher had the presence of mind to point out that obviously activity of any kind will be ineffectual, and if one's inclination's obviously going to be ineffectual one's necessarily misunderstood something.

ascii_field: i bet mircea_popescu would love 'grave of the fireflies'
mircea_popescu: the reason it's sad is because wasted hero.
