trinque: seems like there are a few ways a mind can break
trinque: makes me think of either you or asciilifeform talking about concentration camp inmates pretending to be guards, making fake uniforms
trinque: hm so maybe that's what lingers, the delusional faux-doing
trinque: what does the tea party "do" now? make tshirts?
trinque: I don't know; thinking about this runs into the inability to coherently do anything
mircea_popescu: there's always one of these, that came in and ruined "a good thing". prollly the chinese i gues, tho you never know.
mircea_popescu: im kinda curious who will be claimed as the evil foreign invader.
trinque: the idea that being embarrassed about discussing money for example makes them a good communist
mircea_popescu: it's a lot of... welll.... actually it looks a lot like liberal-radical-on-reddit, in the early stages.
mircea_popescu: nah. i happen to know what they'll do. sadly it's all in romanian, but there's dozens of articles detailing the "what do idiots who thought they were right and in power do once it comes out they were wrong and never really in power".
trinque: mircea_popescu: maybe when they're all in chains they can dig holes then fill them back in for a while
mircea_popescu: the idiots derping in tlp's comment section...
mircea_popescu: "Please take Econ 1. When the Federal govt prints more money and spends, you do not get much inflation when there is massive unemployment. The extra $ the government prints and distributes is spent, increasing demand for goods and services. If the govt then KEEPS increasing the money supply, THEN you get inflation."
mircea_popescu: trinque i suspect they actually understand this pretty well, which is why the vehehehery gingerly treatment of actual powers that be, and the very loud derpage around idiots asking for a cock in their ass, like schwarz.
trinque: this and the inability of the NSA to act coherently I think come from the same dead culture
trinque: mircea_popescu: perhaps when the state tucking them in at night fails to do so for a sufficient number of days
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: scarier is that he's a stooge now.
asciilifeform: but they have a real ripper of a time barricading entire quarters of city, banishing tourists from restaurants, theatres, etc.
mats: the SS certainly doesn't have a good record
mircea_popescu: NOT because anyone or anything is 'protecting' them
mircea_popescu: i wonder how long until it sinks in, with the mostly empty head of obama, with the mostly empty head of blasio, with the mostly empty head of everyone else in that group of derps : that they're still alive because nobody could be bothered to kill them yet.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: he got something worse
mircea_popescu: these aren't hard problems in any sense anymore. they're onyl still hard for retards. otherwise, the safety of "designated importants" ios a matter of public mercy
mircea_popescu: the sad fact of the matter is that the same general development that allows derps like yanis souflakis to pretend like "he can distinguish inflation from product improvement" also allows anyone who isn't a redditard and has a day's leisure to build a missile ; and anyone that isn't iran and so mentally retarded to build a nuke.
mats: we had a few in my intel section while i was in, fucking things would fall out of the sky a quarter of the time, 20 mins into flight
mats: i'd like to take this moment to affirm that this is purely speculative, and i have no intention of being so much as within the city limits of POTUS...
mircea_popescu: tbh, if you're going this avenue you're better off firing a home made sol-sol missile at the target than hitting them with a homemade drone
mats: i think the WASP is a more economically feasible approach
trinque: ends up turning the launch site into an inferno to match
mats: they routinely deploy jammers, set perimeters, and have trained designated marksmen... learned their lessons in trashcanistan et. al
thestringpuller: I'm certain this is not recent theory as its pop culture by now.
thestringpuller: You kidnap someone and claim you're CIA or some agency but really not (You're some shadowy private spy agency). So then when the "investigation" begins the dozen or so spy agencies point fingers at each other and unknown private firm continues to hide in shadows
asciilifeform: i don't even believe, necessarily, that they have achieved anything. but in a logically distinct hypothesis that the snowden papers do not prove 'usg is impotent' any more than the famous kgb defections of the '70-80s proved that soviet intelligence was dead
BingoBoingo: And after the toy drone incidents trap shooting is going to have become part of the standard marksmanship bar to pass, if actual lizard hitler.
asciilifeform: usg bureaucracy is every bit as gnarly as soviet equivalents, there are ~two dozen 'spy agencies', each with $maxint budget and practically whole legal immunity
thestringpuller: i thought they just protect obama and slap around counterfeiters
thestringpuller: the secret service guards our debased gold?
asciilifeform: but mircea_popescu is right! they do outsource crapware production. it is not even an especially deep secret, to where.
asciilifeform won't belabour the point re: how 1) the nsa directorate that ended up publicly pants-down is not the whole nsa 2) the bureau is not the whole of usg intelligence
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: but then again, i don't know anyone but asciilifeform to both honestly and seriously propose viewing the nsa as aserious endeavour, and even he's been kinda shaken latelyt.
mircea_popescu: re thye whole "Source Code Similarities Between NSA Malware and 'Regin' Trojan " : the cause is quite obvious but somehow not found by the ever-brighter hn collective. that is : nsa outsourced the production. the way that ball got dropped is embarassing to them, and its very existence even more embarassing.

mircea_popescu: guy's obviously got his own agenda, but hey, won't be able to say he wasn't exposed to the sane set of ideas.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's how the accessbility stuff sails in.
mats: trinque: an exercise for the reader
mircea_popescu: trinque: why the fuck for example do I have some daemon running for accessibility << generally that's because if you need it you can't turn it on, so it has to be on by default. you can turn it off obviously.
trinque: mircea_popescu: they can't whip up satanic cult hysteria anymore... pedos are second best?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: kings << that one, and $maxint others, are 'moldbuggian' blogs that appeared in imitation, nth generation copies of nth generation copies, etc.
trinque: mats: what was the second thing?
mircea_popescu: i wonder how prevalent this actually is. as opposed to interested parties trying to create a niche for their ngos.
mircea_popescu: "MOSAC - a charity which supports the non-abusing parents and carers of abused children - says a third of all calls to its helpline are from women who believe they have been groomed into conceiving a child."

trinque: you need some of that other stuff to exist
mats: you say to all the universe, only I will be great, and to make room for me the rest of you must give up even what you already have, and become nothing
mats: there's two ways to do it: to kill anything that is not yourself, until nothing is left to oppose you.
mircea_popescu: mats actually this is a mental condition in humans, and the desire of squids and generally cephalopodes exclusively.
mats: trinque: its the dream of every living creature. to grow until all the space you can see is a part of you. the desire for greatness...
mircea_popescu: the nine women - three men island + slavery would have probably icmb'd the other one within a few generations.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the main factor destroying that experiment is that they don't allow violence.
mircea_popescu: however, this MAY be like saying that illiterate cultures are the norm, and to find successful literate cultures you either have to turn to ancient history, remote outskirts or capitalist fiction.
mircea_popescu: "Most cultures worldwide are patriarchal to find examples of successful matriarchal societies you either have to turn to ancient history, remote outskirts of the world or feminist fiction. "
