snsabot: (trilema) 2019-06-26 mp_en_viaje: prolly a better bet to buy real estate in ukraina or syria than costa rica. it's always good to buy in places the pantsuits just finished "helping" and sell in places they're just about to start "helping".
thimbronion: billymg: I recall that conversation.
billymg: and yet i bought here anyway, ah well
thimbronion: Europe is even less appealing after all the covid nonsense.
billymg: thimbronion: yeah, for sure
thimbronion: I posted the link because actually I was flagged down by the police in Guanacaste and requested to make a "donatin" to "fix the sewer line" of the police station.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: afaik whole fucking planet is either a) reich b) this
asciilifeform: ( in some very speshul locales -- a+b )
thimbronion: asciilifeform: at least I can potentially invite la poicia to my parties.
thimbronion: *la policia
asciilifeform: aaha, and for so long as give'em primo slices of the cake, may be golden
thimbronion: !ticker xbtusd
lekythion: Kraken XBTUSD: 39283.00000
trinque: thimbronion: respectfully, nonsense. this wasn't a false flag.
trinque: if you've seen any of these derp "rallies", they're like monster truck shows. it was bound to happen
trinque: there were probably flasks of whiskey going around
asciilifeform: trinque: the police opening the gates was caught on camera. you buy that 'ohnoez, we didn't dare not open!'
asciilifeform: there's no possible way to construe it as 'standard'. asciilifeform has been personally present 'over 9000' times where crowd was agitating around e.g. white house, 'world bank', etc. and on 0 occasions was there any such thing as guards opening the gates to let all-comers ~in~
asciilifeform: normally even standing next to gate is ~guaranteed way to get clubbed.
asciilifeform: ... and then , hr or 2 after the thing ends, e.g. harvard publishes pre-written 'statement of outrage.' and pre-written articles of impeachment trotted out likewise ~immediately. etc
thimbronion: trinque: I don't hold the opinion strongly. All I know is it's not who MSM says it was, and it didn't happen how they say it happened, whatever they say. Then there's also the fact that characters such as Baked Alaska were reportedly there.
trinque: asciilifeform: you realize how many cops are pro-trump?
trinque: especially after the "defund the police" thing?
trinque: listen, I just hold "false flag attack" to a higher standard than "a bunch of smelly derps took selfies"
trinque: maybe y'all mean theater, to which, yep
asciilifeform: trinque: the nanosecond one of'em went into a spot where she ~actually~ wasn't supposed to be -- shot
trinque: what I don't buy is the coherent plan hypothesis
trinque: trump dorks are for example now saying "it was antifa!!"
asciilifeform: trinque: protest was scheduled, what, week in advance. how much plan req'd to simply let coupla dozen morons in (after removing senior muppets to bunker)
snsabot: Logged on 2021-01-06 17:20:42 asciilifeform: thimbronion: photo op. i.e. they let all the tv personalities out through tunnel, then let 'ohnoez rebels' in, to trash the place a little. while cameras rolled, then footage to air in '8minute hate' in coupla hrs
Vexual: trump got ablated by news corp here in the newspaper.
Vexual: the headline was our own pm wouldn't blame the us pres. for a riot
Vexual: old murdoch will hop the twig soon, power vacuum incoming
