asciilifeform: they went to retake pieces ceded earlier in brest-litovsk, and overextended.
mircea_popescu: i am satisfied, for my own needs, that the "rulers" involved had no fucking idea what'ds going on, quite literally.
mircea_popescu: all it took was retreating over a year, rather than over three weeks.

mircea_popescu: the massacre of leningrad'd have been entirely avoided.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i am actually willing to go on the record saying that had the russians either a) retreated more intelligently post revolution, which wasn't entirely unsupported or unsimpathized in romania or b) stayed the fuck out of land they, like anyone else, ultiately DIDNT EVEN WANT jesus christ,
asciilifeform: there's actually a few pieces in the american national gallery in washington, from that particular selloff

mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, was one of the dumbest moves known to european politics.
mircea_popescu: that was one thing ; the other thing was that russia annoyed the shit out of romania by taking some small and inconsequential parcels of land that stephen managed to beat the turks out of repeatedly, a few centuries prior.
mircea_popescu: "next fucking time we have a deal, you cover the fucking front, cocksuckers"
mircea_popescu: hey, the germans want to, who the fuck cares. we go and raze moscow, fujck them and may the word never be heard again.
mircea_popescu: this, in the 1910s, was simply not done. and they shot them like dogs, throughout the 1916s.
asciilifeform: this much is clear. but what was to be had from invading the cynocephali lands.
mircea_popescu: the common expression in bucharst was "muscali cu coada", ie, "muscovites with tails", becauyse unlike humans, they still had tails.
mircea_popescu: the universal oppinion of romanian officer corps, which, in romania, a country very german, were more than a third of the whole shebang, was that russians are literally worse than dogs.
mircea_popescu: there's two major factors, and a bunch of minor ones.
asciilifeform: still not entirely clear to me what antonescu had to gain from taking part in 'drang nach osten'(tm)(r). there's no oil in odessa.
mircea_popescu: the much-celebrated-by-axehandles, today as in the radio free europe days "historical parties" cocksuckers kept sending letters "pointing out the problems", in the jewfuriating way they go about this, like idiot 15yos going "but dad, if house is foreclosed we'll lose out on our investment in carpeting" sorta bs.
mircea_popescu: note that "re-taking romania" figured up there in the plans of hitler in his last fucking week
mircea_popescu: someone was going to work ploiesti ; at the times discussed above (1920s) it was standard oil and some british speculators.
asciilifeform: what's the operative diff b/w him and musso ?
mircea_popescu: it was a very strict "first come first serve", and the germans came first.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform antonescu you mean, the marshall guy ?

mircea_popescu: rather.
asciilifeform: earlier , lenin also got pretty good mileage from 'the white army wants to sell country' ( invited the intervents. which was a lethal mistake, after that red could 'come and fight the intervents, whites sold country' )
mircea_popescu: so they end up with "but of course inca". sure... except not irl.

mircea_popescu: but this is why things like http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-08#1811392 are so ~effectual~. they manage to misrepresent history, and then misinform the judgements of the chitlins
mircea_popescu: of course, by then the context had drastically changed, and stalin got a lot of mileage out of "trotsky wants to sell country"
mircea_popescu: this is the deep dispute between trotsky and stalin : the former tried to continue lenin in this exact manner, and it didn't work out for him.
mircea_popescu: on the contrary : lenin ignored systematically largest mass of unwashed, stuck strictly with the cool people he could encounter.
asciilifeform: possibly cargocultist of lenin then ? ( observe, lenin did not stand on , e.g., cossacks, his algo was 'largest mass of unwashed' )
mircea_popescu: he understands what the state is, and for. he understands how the police works, and why. he however thinks going with the plebs in eritrea is a working plan. how the fuck!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is not true, however. he had an !!up, from cuccia, as discussed yest. and they knew "who he is", so that wasn't the impediment either.
mircea_popescu: (not that i'm proposing the "actually had" people in it had any fucking sense. that they didn't shoot mora the day of his "appointment" speaks volumes to the sort of retarded goatfuckers we're dealing with here.)
asciilifeform: what part of mussolini puzzles mircea_popescu tho? is it the part where he picked the unwashed lusers over sicilians ? as i understand, he couldn't have 'picked' the sicilians, given as he wasn't anyone in their wot. he was of, and for, the unwashed.
mircea_popescu: see, italy in the 30s ACTUALLY HAD people in it. us ~never had, as best as can be discerned, samuel clemens marks down the one or two he found in a 3k mile trip as extreme rarities, in the 1800s.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can't help it, i'm psychologically threatened by ~partially working~ machinery. how the fuck does it juice apples but not oranges, this juicer ?
asciilifeform: 'hitler's only got one ball, mussolini -- none at all'(tm)(r)(amer. marching song of the period)
mircea_popescu: and yes, "i'll take all measures to protect the lordship from criminals". doh. but then "criminals = the cool people ; the lordship = the baaaaaaa crowd" ?! what the fuck is broken in these brains, that they manage to evaluate 1=1 as true but then 1+1=1+1 comes out false ?
mircea_popescu: this much, he gets, on his own power. and then, on the same "own power" that got this far, turns around and picks... THE WRONG GROUPS.
mircea_popescu: and he understands that police is either there to keep the niggers in line, in which case it is a legitimate organ of the state, or fails in this its only duty, in which case both it and the criminal gang backing it are strictly abominable.
mircea_popescu: now : this fellow understands that the only legitimate reason for having a state in the first place is to protect the priviledge of some against the intolerable pressure of the many.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: observe, said concert was masterfully played, they introduced ~harmless/desolderable 'pretty plz store keys in this?' infineon thing in x86 mobos, while quietly building in wholly independent intel/nic rootkit etc
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: or , rather, as part of the microshit-orchestrated tpm concert that was set to begin playing in '07 or so
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: they unhappened it when tpmism became a fact in x86dom

BingoBoingo: I haven't investigated the wikipedo timestamps for this perversion
BingoBoingo: Alf blowback killed the wikipedo Fritzchip article
BingoBoingo: ESL is a curse, especially when WikiBritain keeps redirecting their Fritzchip articles to TPM wank
mircea_popescu: this was disraeli, pm, responding to some jewhate wank fashionable at the time.
mircea_popescu: The essence of this meme is when black people say things like We wuz kangz while you wuz in caves! << he's apparently ignorant enough to quote proper source.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's transparently a case of "we optimize for average player", imo. if they figure out 90% of time-spent-playing by a playerbase that averages 30% completion is in the first 10% of the game, therefore they'll aim to spend 90% of resources to make that first 10%.
mircea_popescu: it's such a sad property of 90s video games that the further in, the less effort per square foot. endless straight corridors and bs.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Pyramid Space Ships are a bonafide religious belief of the "Nation of Islam"
mircea_popescu: pro tip : southerners in egypt cca 3k years ago lived exactly like southerners in us cca 200 years ago : it was presumed they were someone's slave as a matter of course, because how else beast in city.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I was thinking about that actually. Get into the language before it was split by the Empire days.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, that's almost 100% whore/stripper fare, the "ancient pharaonic nigger" wank.
mircea_popescu: gil blas also, and generally their medieval productions.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa, they'll buy just about anyffing, e.g. black pharaoinic egypt etc
mircea_popescu: in other news BingoBoingo maybe it's time you try cervantes. it's much better in original.
BingoBoingo: Not just bought. They LIVE this
BingoBoingo: They WAZ KANGZ!
mircea_popescu: kinda how present day ustards get all sorts of orcs hot and bothered.
mircea_popescu: ikr ? started a whole pile of wank down there, also.
BingoBoingo: The only result or Italian Imperial aspirations was convincing Ethiopia they "R REEL impire 2"
mircea_popescu: which is ~precisely~ what they did. the only way to have an empire is by empowering the empire builders, which at the time in italy were sicilians. trying to "we too empire" without the earlier described maneuver is exact identity with trying to eat cake but not use mouth.
deedbot: http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2018/06/18/language-acquisition-and-the-perception-thereof/ << Bingo Blog - Language Acquisition And The Perception Thereof
mircea_popescu: looks more like "we too want to eat cake, but not using mouth." even if they manage to shove some cream up butthole, it still won't taste that good.
asciilifeform: cargo cult output makes 0 sense other than in light of the picture of the orig subject of imitation, airplane, brit empire, etc
mircea_popescu: the 30 yo virgin is no promise of chastity.
asciilifeform: retarded, but sat out the 'reformation' derpery.
mircea_popescu: the only problem is that islam's been retarded for a long, long time. they had a brief culturalization period under the (mostly, disinterested) turks, but otherwise they periodically prune the tinking folk (say, persians).
asciilifeform: ( just possibly, the 'migrant' program has an aim outside of 'prop up demographic' )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: difficult to hang anything on theology in 20th c europistan, given how they rm -rf / 'd their theological backbone
mircea_popescu: it's an un~reasonable~ demand. the ~reason~ it's a dream is so it dun make sense.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this whole discussion suddenly explains the difficulty of noobs showing up. when asked who they are, the block is "i dunno how to communicate MY DREAMS to you". duh.
mircea_popescu: somehow the imaginary kingdom of sardinia CAN very much conquer all of italy ; but the very real kingdom of sicily ? no WAI omfgbbq!!! how could something ~real~ occur!
mircea_popescu: and consider also the makework angle, it's fucking beautiful. so german-italy, as a thoroughly nosnese piece of fanfic/wank, needs some sort of something to hold it together. what do they pick ? oh, eritrea! which they can't do, but need german airplanes etcv for (and still can't do). meanwhile sicilian-italy'd have had no such problem at all, THEY don't need eritrea for anything.
asciilifeform: for all the 'wave of conquest' of germany, the germans themselves made very questionable mongols. observe that they ended up outsourcing good chunk of the wetwork to local orcs ( city-boi ss grunts went 'shell shocked' from executions ), derped around with gasenwagens 'to make cleaner' etc
mircea_popescu: and "englightment", "progress", "future", the whole enchilada.
mircea_popescu: i mean in some places, like iran or w/e, actual theological approaches were fielded. but in yurp it was still mostly a matter of burgeois thought, aka "reason"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well if that's what he was aiming for the german bootlick approach is even less comprehensible.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: duce , as i understand, was aiming for startopoligical throne, rather than primus inter pares among sicilian mob or the like
mircea_popescu: yes, but see, that women welcome rape is one thing. that the boi pretending to some kind of superhumanity in the nitschean vein does so while dressed in garters and pigtails is the wonderment.
asciilifeform: e.g. latvia, today possibly the moar pathetic of the nato clitlicker poodles, less than century earlier spread wide for lenin, to the point that he hired the entirety of his leibstandarte there
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform question is, why did the duce care.
asciilifeform: in this model the 'surprise' of france, baltics, whoever, spreading wide for their traditional prussian rapist, suddenly evaporates. what surprise.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-12 20:40 mircea_popescu: you're not going to reproduce the former by the latter ; just like you're not going to lure my slavegirls away by promising to be "a good sensitive guy with a great sense of humor".
asciilifeform: 'The Socialist who finds his children playing with soldiers is usually upset, but he is never able to think of a substitute for the tin soldiers; tin pacifists somehow won’t do' etc
asciilifeform: blair, just possibly, actually grasped it, 'All three of the great dictators have enhanced their power by imposing intolerable burdens on their peoples. Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a more grudging way, have said to people ‘I offer you a good time,’ Hitler has said to them ‘I offer you struggle, danger and death,’ and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet.'
mircea_popescu: now try and construct a thought process explaining mussolini's choice in ~any other terms~ than the foregoing, i wish to see it. why exactly did he not say "o boy, i am so impressed, the government is henceforth to be formed exclusively from among the sicilian men of honor" but instead said "o boy, i am so impressed, the government is henceforth to be formed exclusively as per german orders" ?
mircea_popescu: it is clear to the dork that he has to pick one, and notwithstanding his very model comes to life for him to warn against following the former (in the uncertain terminology of "you'll end up germans' bootblacks"), nevertheless he doesn't pick reality. because he can't pick reality, because he's a ghost not a person.
mircea_popescu: there are two important meetings in his new life : one is when a fellow named francesco cuccia shows him the way of his country ; the other is when a fellow not named schicklgruber shows him the way of his fancy.
mircea_popescu: so that waffling, inept d'annunzion wanna-be, amilcare andrea, is elected by his enemies as the least dangerous among his friends. cuz that's how papal elections work, and have worked since forever.
mircea_popescu: here's a riddle for the student of history :
mircea_popescu: "i got better things to do than put the woman on her knees, and besides, she's loud and wet about it" etcetera.
