mircea_popescu: humans generally work terribly poorly on the 2nd perspective.
mircea_popescu: slavery is "do what you're fucking told to do". the only available alternative is "figure out something for you to do".
mats: perhaps a definition of terms is in order - i consider slavery the keeping of humans as property, distinct from slavery in teh manner of the old testament, indentured servitude with timed expiry, 'jubilee'
mircea_popescu: mats they kept blacks.
mats: keeping slaves in usa was problematic in the antebellum period, due to the increasingly common, unpredictable and malignant uprisings
mats: astonished by how early successes of teh venetians and rus, were singularly driven by willingness to sell future generations of their enemies, neighbors, children into captivity, and later, protection rackets
mats: frankopan, 'the silk roads' (p. 118)
mats: also learned that the arabic word for eunuch (siqlabi) comes from the ethnic label referring to slavs (saqalibi)
mircea_popescu: the transylvanian most common greeting ("servus") literally means "servant" and is a contraction of the upper clas overpolite "i am your most humble servant" expression.
mats: i learned today that ciao, from the venetian dialect 'schiavo', means 'i am your slave'

mircea_popescu: what's left is the question of whether they do in fact do the same thing, cuz it dun seem so to me.
mircea_popescu: possibly it's the actual substance of gender identity, "when girls do x i find it tolerable, when bois do it i find it unbearable" "so you're male ?"
BingoBoingo: Their internal register had already had its redundant bit flipped, Like David in Petrus's story
BingoBoingo: Some boys stumble into the door of the reshaping the world room here, and intensly nope the fuck out
BingoBoingo: The boys are just slowly dying of nothing in particular and lashing out in ways that carefully avoid the masculine imperative to reshape the world for fun and profit
BingoBoingo: The boys... don't have any of that
BingoBoingo: I'm probably somewhat off, but it seems there is something almost adorable in the way girls will cherish their articles of poverty into a protective insulating bubble. And generally they can get by on their little whatever. They've got the hardware to hold the cognitive dissonance without completely self destructing.
BingoBoingo: Sure, the girles might not have much, but they cherish their not that much. The boys hallucinate their optionality out of straight up nothing.
mircea_popescu: what the FUCK "boyfriend" can some 20yo moron from the us have ? they go on fucking dates, and if he sees me crossing the street once he browns his pants slightly ?

mircea_popescu: by then...
mircea_popescu: they refugeed in ro, btw.
mircea_popescu: Князь Потёмкин Таврический, you know, the silent film.
mircea_popescu: yes, traditionally in english "the army" means the army, as opposed to navy, airforce or marines etc.
asciilifeform: upstack, why is it that 'kiel sailors' != 'army' ? or on mircea_popescu's planet 'army' specifically means infantry ? ( on mine, it's broad brush for errybody who subject to mil discipline, uniform, under command of the nominal crown )
mircea_popescu: and "why not applied" never separate or separable question. always delivered in a package with all other answers : "because there wasn't who".
asciilifeform: aha, or the serb baker with old s-100 vs reagan's $1b flying brick
mircea_popescu: in the specific case of weimar, it was sailors, specifically kiel sailors. ie, "not army". and so on, whoever it will have been it'll always have been the men present.
mircea_popescu: "oh, but briefly previously this very same H was labeled ''planet x''." so what the fuck ?
mircea_popescu: who the fuck else ?!
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing! think for a second : "i don't know of a case of a star created out of either foreign material or accreted local material"
asciilifeform: what i dun know of is any examples where the killin' wasn't done largely by orig regime's nominal armies with flipped sign bit.
mircea_popescu: the whole point is, "looky here good fellows, the similarity between pharoh tuth's death and granma ilsa's death down the street and every other smallpox death is -- variola virus!!"
mircea_popescu: and it is also supported historically, in ALL cases. both ALL cases during our lifetimes and ALL cases during every other generation's lifetime.
asciilifeform: that's not the part i have nitpick for
mircea_popescu: this is true universally, whether that number turns out to be half a million or half a unit.
mircea_popescu: it's a historical fact, the only way for a revolution to win is for the wanna-be pantsuit cop larpers being killed, in such numbers as not to leave any behind.
mircea_popescu: well i mean, what is the diff between historic and philosophic you propose here ?
asciilifeform: afaik last time 'amateurs' actually gave regular army a run for its money, was muentzer. ( and even there, debatable, had 'pro' leadership ; so possibly actual last time was... spartacus ? )
asciilifeform: i thought mircea_popescu was going for a historically, rather than philosophically, supported statement. ( i dun even disagree, as such, 1917 was over in ~1926 when ~100% opposition was dead/emigrated . but wasn't pushed out by bottle-throwers, no. )
mircea_popescu: so then. "the only way to have medicine is by washing hands" "in the end, corpse anyway"
mircea_popescu: "in the end" ffa is a piece of shit, because events from star date 78987.4
mircea_popescu: this says nothing of "in the end". that's nonsense, you've not yet done anything or not done anything that lives to this "in the end" stgandard.
mircea_popescu: contention is, "the only way through which revolution ~ever~ wins, is 'while(cops willing to larp) kill()'".
mircea_popescu: in the end, kelvin won.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this "in the end" argument is about as boneheaded as "according to my painted-over skymask, the sky is maroon in color".
mircea_popescu: leaving aside the cases where "army -- shot the would-be cops", from odessa to what have you, 2016 turkey, the point remains : shooting the larping pantsuit until no pantsuit left willing to larp is the only way.
asciilifeform: palestine winners not called yet, arguably, so i'ma leave'em alone; but what am i missing re serbs ? cuz iirc the 'larpers' won in the end
mircea_popescu: similarily, the palestine situation. you wanna read it in a batshit insane manner, but the truth is that in the 30s-50s there was ~no reason~ for there to be a palestine. and yet, another 50ish years later, the us recognized such a state.
mircea_popescu: this worked splendidly well, and through the exact process described : they started shooting the "cop" larpers until no one wanted to larp anymore.
mircea_popescu: now then : the serbs decided to produce a national state out of old yugo, through the process of cleansing a portion of ye olde yugo of everyone else and adding it to serbia.
asciilifeform: lol on whose side, the gypsies?!
mircea_popescu: the elements of that specific conflict were separately, the croats, the bosniaks, the serbs, kosovo, and the albanians. and, i suppose, to be exhaustive, the gypsies.
asciilifeform: iirc the serbs were doing an a++ job of bugspraying it, until intervention
mircea_popescu: there's no speciffic reason clinton wanted or needed kosovo for. the item existed on the ground.
asciilifeform: i'd like to borrow the lens through which mircea_popescu saw his model, but i suspect it dun work with earthling eye.
mircea_popescu: but anyway -- events can always be reinterpreted through a glass so strange nothing is left standing. i dunno that any argument can be brought to the level of broken lens.
mircea_popescu: you know, that suspicion is somewhat on the level of "i suspect surgeon likes knives. because surgeon, geddit ???".
asciilifeform: ( iirc mircea_popescu actually had a piece re subj, where not only about iliescu, but where all the new managerial class was also ex-party, because nobody else adequately literate, or how did it go )
asciilifeform: 'kosovo independence' another mega-lol, product of nato bombers
mircea_popescu: well, i suspect the problem here is that you use a yet-unwritten history book.
mircea_popescu: something along the http://trilema.com/2010/general-sir-charles-james-napier-gcb/#selection-43.0-43.123 problem.
mircea_popescu: because they insist on being led by niggers.
asciilifeform: ( will observe that it seems to take moar bricks/molotovs than the 'dindus' of bmore are able to muster, to date, they 'revolution' ~yearly but it ain't detectable at all from 100km with naked eye )
mircea_popescu: every once in a while some rando fucktard straggles in here, "oh, you people aren't the world's only sovereign".
mircea_popescu: consider how the mexican cartel revolution in texas worked out.
asciilifeform: sure, and 1917 kept killing pretenders, and just about erry other example. but not with crowd hands.
mircea_popescu: if you take a narrow "history started in 1993" view, you can arrive at this "army" notion. but the actual equation underlying that ~as well as any other~ applications, is 'while(cops willing to larp) kill()'
mircea_popescu: it's the modern version of "breaking the will to larp". but consider the case of the old pretender : for 50 fucking years, the (orange) revolution was stuck killing the wanna-be-cop catholic larpers.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which historic revolution actually fits the 'while(cops willing to larp) kill()' model ? erry one i can think of had some participation of regular army with flipped sign bit
mircea_popescu: revolution wins through that specific attrition, and in no other manner.
mircea_popescu: and quite specifically because, "kill the cops, until there's no pantsuit left willing to larp".
mircea_popescu: but yes, http://trilema.com/wp-content/themes/trilema/images/antifa.gif is the image of the revolution.
mircea_popescu: anyway, cheapness and accessibility are the overwhelming considerations. the half liter and 1 liter plastic bottles more ubiquitous than "human rights"
mircea_popescu: doesn't always break, splatters rather than splashes, and so on.
mircea_popescu: do the experiment at home, if you will, count the seconds between lighting "fuse" and item turning into flaming puddle.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what good does it do if it melts on the ground after rolling off the target ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they ~melt~.
mats: oh, the solution that results, imitates napalm stickiness
asciilifeform: mats: what i dunget is why mircea_popescu specified ~plastic~ bottles, these won't break and will harmlessly roll off tank
