I have already moved, just few kilometers, still living in Slovakia, but it took better part of year to clean up the old flat for sale, the building has been renovated too.

BingoBoingo i seem to recall a trilema article about stealing a country, by creating an imaginary alt-country and just pretending that's it ; i can't quite find it now, and it's a shame, considering how prophetic it turns out to be.

12:22	BingoBoingo	Will look, think I remember a title snippet

12:24	a111	Logged on 2016-08-01 00:44 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-01#1511937 << oh, "color revolutions" dun work ? tell you what, we'll steal your country's exports and with the proceeds finance an alt-country we'll pretend is realy your country. ha-ha!
12:24	asciilifeform	^ was a log item.
12:24	mircea_popescu	oh it was huh!
12:24	mircea_popescu	ty
12:24	asciilifeform	np
12:24	asciilifeform	(in fact had it indexed.)
12:25	mircea_popescu	pretty shameful that this human stain still exists, incidentally.
12:25	mircea_popescu	i'd readily trade a few endangered species or w/e, an australia or two glassed, for its erradication.
12:26	asciilifeform	it's 1 of those brit-empire algos the current derps 'inherited' (brits packed it in india but left behind a pakistan; usg , then, in germany (standing), korea (standing), vietnam (oops), taiwan (standing), etc
12:26	BingoBoingo	NO, pretty sure there's a trilema
12:26	mircea_popescu	BingoBoingo a rly ?
12:27	BingoBoingo	http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-start-your-own-country-adnotated/
12:27	asciilifeform	dun seem like this one's in there
12:28	*	BingoBoingo reading
12:28	mircea_popescu	i mean... it's a great read and all, but doesn't happen to be what i had in mind. pretty sure the logline was it.
12:30	*	BingoBoingo not seeing that in their either
12:36	asciilifeform	for completeness, oughta include the laughably failed attempts -- the london-based 'alt-gov'-s of poland, ukrs, etc
12:48	mircea_popescu	lotta failed attempts, and the success of the successes extremely fucking dubious.
12:48	mircea_popescu	they're the sorta "fix that works while not needed" nonsense "elected representative governments" tend to come up with
12:49	mircea_popescu	or, in the immortal words of a ~very typical~ (if coincidentally naive enough orc as to be plain about it), http://trilema.com/2014/the-disadvantages-of-living-among-idiots/#selection-59.2-59.124
12:50	mircea_popescu	that's what THEY ALL SAY. "i deeply regret nothing else and nothing besides having had the misfortune of being in the white house when our taiwan turned out to be a paper wrap on burning fire and no more -- all the OTHERS had it much better, because then the paper wrap LOOKED solid enough"
12:53	asciilifeform	these are the folx for whom e.g. tyre fire of libya is a 'success' ( ghaddafi dead? check. no unified arabistan ? check. etc )
		↖
12:56	mircea_popescu	keks.
12:56	mircea_popescu	libya is why they lost syria.
12:57	mircea_popescu	russkis bothered with it ~specifically~ to exploit usg's shocking cuntitude as a superlative of weakness and for no other imaginable reason.
		~ 2 hours 21 minutes ~
15:19	BingoBoingo	The only people for whom libya was a success are the cucks who enjoy Germany getting "BlaKKKED (TM)(R)"
