00:31 mircea_popescu in other lulz, egypt visa policy is the lulz of all time. afghanistanis, sudanese, yemeni and lebanese nationals can travel w/o visa, provided either >50 or <16 ; algerians, moroccans, tunisians if <14 ; chinese if got 5 star hotel reservation and $$$$$ (ie, 5 figure) in cash ; libya, if female, or else lives in tobruk ; jordan, if passport does not hold jordanian stamp on page 60 ;
00:31 mircea_popescu reads to me SO like "harem travel only, poorguys get bent"

02:15 mircea_popescu certainly. though the schmuck in question was never mainstream ; he's part of a specific outer cloud of wankers that never amounted to anything beyond sadness.
02:17 mircea_popescu in relatively affluent, urban, educated communities such as 1970s fobourg st germain our revolution yielded masturbatory lulz liek say bruckner&finkielkraut's nouveau désordre amoureux & following ;
02:18 mircea_popescu but in impoverished, rural, "traditional religion" communities, such as the european metropolitan ghettos / ex euro colonies producing their demographic support, it resulted in poorly expressed, highly tensed wank.
02:19 mircea_popescu the immigrant's experience of tearing, right, in the particular case of 1980s to 2000s immigration had a very strong sexual component that the poor fucks in question were eminently ill equipped to digest.
02:20 mircea_popescu thus pedestrian vomit like "pua" as well as reactive nonsense like "re-protestant/original xtianity", "straightedge" etcetera. they're all the ~same thing, epiphenomena among the inconsequential, and you'll readily notice the rlationship between peons' reaction to my showing up and these dudes reaction to porn as a cultural phenomenon.
02:21 mircea_popescu "fascinatingly threatening, so incomprehensible i can't even judge if the opinion i formed on it is meaningful"
02:24 mircea_popescu cooption towards their preoccupations was already a clear sign of imminent reversion. after all, the savage finding a radio will first gaze in mindblown delight, then attempt to cure his warts with it, then go back to chasing squirrels. same here.
02:27 mircea_popescu (for the needs of this discussion, ~all of the united states, excepting san fernando valley, some choice tinybits in san francisco, san diego, arizona and texas fall precisely under "ex-european colonies" heading)
02:30 mircea_popescu amusingly, the "debate" (between sex as a purely performative activity and "moral" sex) directly mirrors the older "purpose of literature" wank. it's a sure sign you're reading cvasi-literate morons when all their crap has a "clear moral tendency". which is actually the deep reason you don't like inane anglowank like jane austen, and ALSO why gay-in-denial us math grad / budapest "writer" does "like" it.
02:31 mircea_popescu though i grant, "there's no anal" is an exceptionally crafty summary of the problem.
02:33 mircea_popescu but what he likes about it is the promise that perhaps sex isn't about sex after all, and thereby ye fearsome http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-20#1914729 might be had for cheaper by him ? please say he doesn't HAVE TO stick the member into the scary hole necessarily ? IT IS DANGEROUS!!!
02:33 a111 Logged on 2019-05-20 07:55 mp_en_viaje: they want to could have gotten laid.
02:36 nicoleci mircea_popescu, lol! well he dosent want to assume... now its more clear to me how he makes any money from his 'jane austen fan fiction'
02:38 mircea_popescu cuntfear, produced as the reflection of the (young) female coy behaviour in the (socially isolated) male, is the basic, universal driver of all the idiotic subcultural behaviour.
02:38 a111 Logged on 2019-05-22 14:35 mp_en_viaje: he is the sort of guy who doesn't fuck a lot of women, doesn't speak a lot of languages, doesn't like reading things he doesn't know how to interpret and spends a lot of time fucking intricately with garbage.
02:38 mircea_popescu be it "religion" as the male activity, or whatever the fuck else.
02:39 mircea_popescu nicoleci, there's a lot of these schmucks, who "don't want to assume". shit's scary, what! imagine, it bleeds monthly and you don't die, it's always wet yet you don't rust, IT CREATED THE WORLD!!!
02:40 mircea_popescu are you kidding me, it's like... livresque already, specifically engineered to sound fearsome.
02:41 mircea_popescu as far as "don't take your guns to town" dorky mcdorkenson is concerned, there's nothing scarier.
02:43 mircea_popescu anyway, the reflection's particularly amusing : 12 yo girl goes "hmm... i have this thing between my legs... wtf is it ?! seems pretty fucking weird... actually, this shit's scary holy shit" ; 16 yo boy goes "omfg, girls are so fucking great and bestest...hmm... and EVEN THEM in their divine perfection are still affraid of cunt ?! THAT THING IS MONSTROUS!!!!".
02:43 mircea_popescu then they get to be 30 and still stay mentally 16, and voila, http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-23#1915400

02:46 nicoleci mircea_popescu, definitely makes sense, ty
02:55 diana_coman http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-24#1915445 -> dunno about reflection of coy because if not coy then they get even more scared.
02:55 a111 Logged on 2019-05-24 06:38 mircea_popescu: cuntfear, produced as the reflection of the (young) female coy behaviour in the (socially isolated) male, is the basic, universal driver of all the idiotic subcultural behaviour.
02:56 mircea_popescu diana_coman, because "there can not be no coy".
02:56 mircea_popescu what do you find scarier, a mouth open so wide you can see the teeth, or a mouth open so wide you can't even see the teeth ?
02:57 diana_coman possibly again one of those choices
02:59 diana_coman to my mind if it eats you then the rest doesn't make a lot of difference in the end.
03:09 mircea_popescu yes well.
