mangol: http://logs.bitdash.io/asciilifeform/2022-04-10#1094824 << it would have taken a coup with military backing (which was plausible, trump was very popular with rank-and-file soldiers and a non-trivial part of the brass)

mangol: the fact that undercover operatives + randoms loitered into the building, and there's now a big show trial, is the best possible outcome for reich
mangol: coup energy was redirected into fake uprising whose outcome demoralizes potential dissidents, trying again is all but impossible
mangol: CNN still feeds the show trial to normies every day
mangol: recently, canadian trucker convoy also had the support of large % of their armed forces and police. but similar result - everyone chickened out in the end
mangol: phf: indeed, yet to see one elite party where the attendees wear masks
mangol: http://logs.bitdash.io/asciilifeform/2022-04-10#1094856 << the problem is that the men behind the curtain are coordinated; the visible men find it hard to coordinate against the will of the ones behind. one or two of the visible men choose to defect -> they mysteriously commit suicide
bitbot: Logged on 2022-04-10 02:25:10 mats: but the world is built by men doing, not the men behind them doing the doing
mangol: currently e.g. musk is on perilous ground. just bought almost controlling stake in twitter (i.e. crowdsourced NYT). a few wrong moves and he'll be a bigger risk to the narrative than his rocket company is an asset.

mangol: for whatever reason, race woke is currently taking a backseat to sex woke

('We use the term "thieves" if the number of men does not exceed seven, and "brigands" for a number between seven and thirty-five. Anything beyond this is an "army."') needs supply of food, etc. and organization (i.e. in '14 kiev, reich spent over $mil/day to keep '1e6 rioters' fed, watered, etc)

mangol: sure. the limit of rioting is anarchy which is not a stable state
mangol: re: convoy, 'approve' a more precise term than 'support'. but as with protesting, approval is cheap.
