that's a better argument, but still lame given that most computing components use close designs; firmware |

in fact, why not use a stallman 'libreboot' laptop? |

well i guess the multi-culti immigration might be a start, not that i mind immigrants but i think they are somewhat right in that it undermines social trust in a community |
| 06:17 |
mircea_popescu |
this is by no means a novel point, or all that aptly expressed there, is it ? |
| 06:18 |
cazalla |
i just see my own anecdotes mirrored there.. grew up in a homogeneous society where everywhere knew everyone.. 25 years later that is no longer the case |
| 06:18 |
cazalla |
but then the argument usually veers towards this being the fault of jews |

but then that is sorta like blacks blaming whites for their predicament |
| 06:19 |
mircea_popescu |
well at least it's not blaming the freemasons. |
| 06:19 |
mircea_popescu |
or loose women |
| 06:20 |
cazalla |
they blame both of those too |
| 06:20 |
mircea_popescu |
(actually, there IS a trend of angry older men trying to make these issues about "whores", but general social discourse's keeping them well repressed atm) |
| 06:20 |
mircea_popescu |
ahga. |
| 06:21 |
cazalla |
they blame loose women for the down fall of the family unit |
| 06:21 |
cazalla |
don't get me wrong.. i like the idea of a strong family unit.. but i also like the idea of loose whores provided the strong family doesn't find out |
| 06:22 |
mircea_popescu |
anyway i suspect there isn't a way out. historically, the "civilised world" was rich and powerful because it enjoyed a monopoly on trade, built out of scientific and military effort. the twerps in question, joe average, decided to quit supporting the industrial-military complex (chiefly because they got burned twice in 16-18 and then in 39-44, and it hurt badly, esp the 2nd time, and so it's understandable) |
| 06:22 |
mircea_popescu |
as a result, it collapsed, and as a result there is absolutely no reason they should make more than a dollar a day. |
| 06:22 |
mircea_popescu |
which is where everyone's headed, from alabama to tasmania. |
| 06:23 |
mircea_popescu |
which i don't see any problem whatsoever with, but then again i'm privileged, or as alf put it, "rootless kosmopolitanski" |
| 06:23 |
cazalla |
so i still read /pol/ daily but i can easily point out where i am hypocritcal on just about everything discussed there.. do as i say, not as i do sort of thing is really what it comes down to |

the question of "what exactly is so speshul about joe doe that he should live other than in a hovel like random nigerian" is paramount, and none of the anti-imigration types seem inclined to address it. |
| 06:24 |
mircea_popescu |
so... why is he special ? |
| 06:25 |
mircea_popescu |
once we get an answer to that we can start discussing how to oppress the nigerian again, at which point "immigration policy" may be on the agenda. not befoar. |
| 06:26 |
mircea_popescu |
and the family unit is more of the same. why should 85% have any access to women at all, and why should the 1% not get 94% of all the pleasantly nubile stoyas out there, with the remainder 6% going to the 14% aspirational betas ? |
| 06:27 |
cazalla |
well he's not special and in saying that, i'm not special, but i like but can't explain my desire of social cohesion, which is why i like the hitler videos with endless crowds |
| 06:28 |
mircea_popescu |
that's the natural distribution in a 2 million strong society : 10k blokes with a harem averaging high 80s headcounts, 140k blokes double-tagging 60k hos and the rest watching the previous on instagram. |

i personally care a lot more about the fact that there are no movies/bands/anything worth going to see |
| 06:35 |
mircea_popescu |
than the fact that some random immigrant's drooling over random 16yo neighbour. |
| 06:36 |

my problem with immigrants is that i grew up knowing my neighbours, my community, it was homogeneous and everyone knew everyone (also was a small town) |

| 06:37 |
mircea_popescu |
cazalla well the idea of community based on geographic proximity / random accident like that is certainly taken a beating on account of the internets. used to be you had a shot at random neighouring cunt just on the grounds of being neighbouring, at some point. |
