04:15 verisimilitude Let's revisit this topic later in the year, vex.
04:16 vex sure
04:18 verisimilitude I'm not generally bothered by not travelling, as men didn't generally travel historically, but travelling could be nice.
04:18 vex some do
04:21 vex once upon a time you couldn't hop a boeing for half a weeks wages
04:22 verisimilitude Yes.
04:22 vex go. see the world while it's available

04:39 vex just say no
04:40 vex they're goot at fighting
04:52 vex trot on bitches. no rupees here
04:55 vex i don't abide thieves
04:57 vex i hope you don't haave klepto amongst the array verisimilitude
05:01 vex igaf if it pathological. I'll set a trap
05:09 vex met some gypsy gals in Paris. I was obvious
05:09 vex this was pre influx
05:13 vex it was evidently the loudest `fuck off` these cunts had ever heard
05:15 verisimilitude I'm not a kleptomaniac, no.
05:16 vex I'll hope you'd admit if you were
05:18 verisimilitude I'm not a liar, either.

17:33 dulapbot Logged on 2022-04-12 02:04:46 signpost: also lol, is "mudila" "asshole" in RU?
17:33 phf *some мат variations
~ 2 hours 12 minutes ~
19:46 signpost amusing. they're leaning into the hippy "here's this sanskrit word we googled in portland yoga studio typeface" marketing.
19:46 signpost meanwhile, mangol, what's the local perspective on this hipster chick in the leather jacket
19:54 mangol signpost: the chick / social media personality / aspiring groupie is our prime minister. something like our own kamala harris
19:55 mangol she's from schwab's WEF stock
19:56 mangol last december iirc, said we wouldn't join NATO under her term. now "let's see if .se and .fi can join NATO in 2 weeks". not the least bit surprising
20:00 signpost sounds about right.
20:01 signpost I suppose the simulated world war wasn't good enough.
20:03 mangol seems usg wants to get into .ru by any means necessary. fi and se are the last holdouts who've abstained from NATO; we are standing in their way.
20:03 mangol frankly, i'm surprised the force-push into nato took this long
20:05 mangol in recent decades, fi/se have been 100% pro-west culturally, but remained staunchly neutral on all military matters for obv. reasons
20:07 mangol now that ukr war is on, our political theater has turned into full-on psychedelia. i haven't kept tabs on .se but assume it's similar over there
20:07 mangol very transparent that usg is all but putting words into everyone's mouths via WEF and EU
20:10 mangol ursula von der leyen may be the chief puppet atm
20:18 signpost re: political theater, almost entertaining to hear biden talk of war crimes after the last half-century of american adventures.
20:19 * signpost can't see the end-game in engaging russia directly. looks more like a runaway machine.
20:20 signpost perhaps as simple as our political processes having selected for the psychotic.
20:23 signpost mangol: seems less that herr schwab has a master plan, and more that he likes holding conferences with Very Important People.
20:24 * signpost has his book acting as a coaster atm, utter drivel of a simple mind.
20:24 signpost meant to read it all, but will likely hit the trash can first.
20:26 mangol lol, awesome that you actually bought the book
20:26 mangol afaict rockefellers wrote similar tomes a century ago, about "unipolar world or bust"
20:27 mangol and of course, there was the kalergi plan
20:29 mangol asciilifeform said a couple days back that there likely isn't an endgame besides "suck ever more resources from the undeserving"
20:30 mangol schwab is a busy guy, his organization has trained an astonishing number of people over several decades. thousands.
20:31 signpost sure, insofar as it's only a scam internal to the "west".
20:31 signpost what's its endgame in dealing with the russians and chinese, I mean.
20:31 signpost well, and from what I've managed to eat of the book, schwab wants a woke-branded socialism with chinese characteristics.
20:32 mangol yeah, but globally. a self-selected cabal of megacorps who stand beside national governments as equals
20:33 mangol a "blade runner" future without the space travel and cyborgs
20:33 signpost it'd be just like us to decide that we've just invented chicom-ism.
20:33 signpost and that we'll helm it.
20:33 mangol lol. good point
20:34 mangol afaict usg won't let go of the dream of fully subjugating ru and cn
20:36 mangol some bloggers speculate there's a pro-war and an anti-war faction in the us derp state
20:37 mangol and that that's why us foreign policy is so erratic
20:43 signpost there's also the practical matter of there being two parties, and the difficulty of running on the "same policy, but, uh, better!" platform.
20:44 mangol us's next military objective seems to be sprinkling missiles pointed at ru all around eastern europe (possibly including fi -- fun times ahead)
20:45 mangol then some kind of son-of-color-revolution perhaps
20:46 mangol you know better than i about the us parties; from afar, it looks like gop is now composed entirely of grifters
20:48 mangol with like 3 actual representatives (who are dangerous extremists according to media and wikipedia)
20:49 mangol the grifter army parrots dems' policies with 1-3 months delay
20:53 signpost there is no non-grifter party.
20:53 * signpost notes also the rapid, recent ascent of the word "grifter" in common usage.
20:56 verisimilitude A grifter is someone whom I dislike, right?
20:58 mangol i thought many of the dems mess things up on principle; the money and perks being a nice side complement. whereas gop is now 100% personal opportunism
20:58 signpost yes, and not just I, but "we all".
20:59 signpost mangol: what, biden was a servant of the people stumbling on the sad reality of unworkable leftist economics?
20:59 signpost pffft
21:00 mangol biden was always all about bribes and other favors
21:02 signpost both teams do a great job ejecting the well-meaning early in the process.
21:02 mangol democracy working as designed
21:03 mangol works so well, should be exported to whole world
21:03 signpost anyway upstack, foreign policy's irratic because the other guy has to oppose in the next election.
21:04 signpost if biden decided to change tack on iran, trump would bitch about us walking away from our "deals"
21:04 signpost entirely unprincipled.
21:04 signpost woof, *erratic
21:08 signpost where they align, coincidence of self-interest. trump let the money printer go brrr because he holds highly leveraged real assets. biden had no reason to shut the brrr down, had large policy programs to fund.
21:08 mangol i had assumed the decision making is less rational than that (even behind the scenes)
21:08 signpost now trump will run on shutting off the brr.
21:10 mangol large policy programs = lots of friends expecting gifts :)
21:10 mangol infrastructure bill, etc.
21:10 mangol similar shenanigans have been ongoing in the eu for quite a few years now
21:11 signpost mhm
21:12 mangol latest shot in the arm was about covid, or immigrants, or possibly covid and immigrants. the headlines just whoosh by at this point
21:15 signpost on some primitive level the west is ready to be conquered.
21:16 signpost like any addict, what cannot be balanced internally seeks balance externally.
21:17 mangol islam is trying
21:17 * signpost recalls Dune, where jihad is not just the struggle, but the state of affairs making it inevitable.
21:17 mangol ironically, western influence has corrupted islam as well. our kool aid is irresistible
21:18 signpost dunno that there's trying here, perhaps. that one you're closer to.
21:18 signpost seems more like islam's spilling in.
21:18 signpost yeah
21:18 mangol yep, trying in the sense they've always done
21:18 mangol that's the main point of the religion afaict
21:25 mangol meanwhile, the next fauci?

21:45 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-04-13#1095543 << iirc a 'grifter' traditionally is -- con man, with 'long con' (think, e.g. buttering up & marrying rich widows) bent
21:45 dulapbot Logged on 2022-04-13 16:55:24 verisimilitude: A grifter is someone whom I dislike, right?
21:54 mangol it takes persistence to rise to the top
22:01 verisimilitude That was sarcastic, asciilifeform.
22:01 mangol BLM coming to france as "far right" candidates got 30% of presidential vote
22:01 mangol verisimilitude: likewise
22:03 phf http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-04-13#1095517 << that would make for a lovely coffee table for a certain kind of person, there to catch an eye of visitors
22:03 dulapbot Logged on 2022-04-13 16:23:27 signpost: has his book acting as a coaster atm, utter drivel of a simple mind.
22:09 phf *coffe table book
22:09 phf i give up
22:11 shinohai It's a "covefefe table" phf
22:13 phf a tremendous table
22:25 mangol latest f35 gossip from .fi: usg sees it as more of a strategic bomber than a fighter; could carry nukes. only usg holds some of the passcodes for weapons systems.
22:27 mangol implication being, usg can store its planes around europe and use them to fly own missions as needed; eu countries carry out maintenance and foot the bill.
