BingoBoingo: I find this dynamic where Chinese Govt. officials are tweeting disinfo on Twitter while Twitter is banned in China and you can't put anything on the similar platforms in China without a Chinese number and even then... - maybe worth an article or are articles postponed until new site is up? |

thimbronion: Hammering on the new site, but this sounds like great fodder for your blog. Especially how you weigh what is or is not disinfo |
| 16:58 |
thimbronion |
ok |

And if you're referring to what I suspect you are, it probably isn't strictly disinfo, but A/B testing messages for how they hang the US sometime August through next year |

If I were Chinese propaganda, I'd certainly blame it on the US. |

If I were US propaganda, I'd blame it on China. |

If I were US media owned by the Chinese, I would say it was racist to associate China with the virus. |

If I were a California resident who suffered through the "chinese virus" over a month ago, I'd personally be inclined to blame the Chinese. |

And while I find spandrell distasteful, I tend to agree with him that Chinese propaganda sucks. |
| 18:01 |
thimbronion |
But yes I should blog these thoughts. |

thimbronion: i cannot resist to ask -- how came by the distaste ? |
| 18:16 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: he doesn't have a good reason for his anti-bitcoin stance for one. Also some of his later posts like this rubbed me the wrong way, but I'd have to re-read to remember precicely why: https://spandrell.com/2019/05/12/the-reactionary-tax-code/ |
| 18:17 |
asciilifeform |
aa apparently i quit reading him too early: had nfi he had ever mentioned btc |
| 18:17 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: do you have a link handy re subj ? |
| 18:18 |
asciilifeform |
thimbronion: iirc this was before you tuned in, but at one pt mp invited him to #t, and he was around for 1-2d |
| 18:18 |
asciilifeform |
but eventually kicked out, for insufficient revolutionary zeal (dun have the log ptr handy, but can prolly find) |
| 18:18 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: well yes he hasn't at all in is blog. I surmised his Bitcoin stance from his Twitter account: https://twitter.com/thespandrell. I don't think I could easily locate the specific tweets. |
| 18:19 |
thimbronion |
asciilifeform: I was there at the time possibly as gernika or thortron. |
| 18:19 |
asciilifeform |
ugh this explains why i had nfi. ( asciilifeform generally does not read twatter ) |

His posts on Bioleninism are classics though. |

asciilifeform: in case you didn't already read, he actually had some "thoughts" on Bitcoin in the article I linked: https://archive.is/8u1VP#comment-32997. I can contradict this take empirically. |
