I guess I don't :/, It just seems to me that the situation hes describing would ultimately result in nuclear war.


Hes describing the mid 20th century then?

hes describing professional, all volunteer armies. all major powers in the world at present are all volunteer. there are only a few countries in europe left with a draft i believe, or none. and the inevitable military worship and benefits for military members thing that happens cause they willingly put their life on the line and all that. it's still happening and is going to continue, until the next major world war if there will be one.

but i think his last sentence is just idealistic and will never happen. and i don't think it was culture clash that caused any of the above to happen, just raw production capacity and industrial efficiency. don't need much culture to field an effective army.

and yea he was partly wrong because nukes but he was right because the threat of military power throughout the 20th century allowed economic warfare and covert operations to make all the gains that the military would have done. and in the rare occurences where it couldn't, the major powers did send their military in to stake their territorial claims etc.

your name looks familiar but i don't remember why. i guess you didn't make it on my internal poo poo list. my criteria is you have to be both dumb and mean. dumb doesn't cut it because that implies humility and a willingness to change, and mean doesn't cut it because it can be funny and/or necessary and implies intelligence more often than not cause its confident, but dumb and mean is the worst and i hate it. failing to understand and being an rear end about it. so you're probably an alright poster idk. not dumb or mean in my shitposting estimation.

edit now i see..nah man those posts were fine. i dunno why i'm saying all this but i just want to make it clear that i personally don't mind if someone disagrees with me meanly but intelligently. i think everyone should be that way. idk.

and reading that thread you are talking about, i realize Agag made some good posts in there so maybe i shouldn't hate on them as hard as i was yesterday. i have a very short memory, and i also had a bad day yesterday though.

and if you are apologizing because you thought i was an idiot before but you see i actually think things through now, that's cool, but if you feel bad and think i'm still an idiot you don't have to. stick to your guns. don't apologize. (i am dealing with a similar situation in my family life as part of the many troubles and so this is what i am thinking about i guess)

I never thought you were stupid and your obviously more well read than I am. I think I was giving you grief for being one of the people debating nihilist philosophy in a thread about the glory of giving up and drinking beer while wearing sweat pants?


If this were true I'd take even greater pleasure in calling her a racist. Blacks kind of drop the ball in terms of coming up with a slur for white people thats as degrading as niger.

oh lol, i only checked the posts in the liberal thread you made in your post history. yea that thread got ridiculous. but i'll take any amount of flack to talk about what's important to me. no one gives a poo poo day to day and on the internet i can say everything i want to say without getting interrupted or the subject getting changed. this is why people write books i guess, but i'm just not that smart yet. takes a lot of ideas to write a book

people get fired from posting controversial poo poo on facebook all the time. Doesn't have to even be terrible opinions, if they differ from your boss, consider yourself fired if you're in a right to work state. The fact that she's in California and probably works for similar libertarian douche nozzles is likely why her rear end hasn't been thrown out the door. The fact that she says she represent google and constantly name drops them makes me surprised she hasn't been sacked yet, though. You never talk about work on social media.

I think she's probably sufficiently mentally ill to actually believe her story about Machiavellian power struggles in the OWS leadership at this point. In reality I suspect she was just the sperg running the website.

Not that being behind the flash-in-the-pan failure that was OWS is something to brag about.

I don't find her behavior any different from the other Dork Enlightenment clowns, most of whom aren't transsexuals.


Also she has like 2000 followers. She's an also-ran twitter tranny. SA only knows about her because SA finds the saddest obscure poo poo on the Internet to laugh at, and she's definitely that.

i had an epiphany about all of this but I lost the words to describe it. Something about a cloud of desperation futility and sadness somehow related to the world today and how we are living in roaring 20s redux and there is an impending economic crash on the horizon and that this will somehow end up with her getting shived in a bread line

Her life will be nothing but offices and computer chairs until she dies. The Dork Enlightenment is a subset of contemporary libertarianism, which is itself an entirely white middle class phenomenon. But what I dream about is these people actually trying to implement their "neo-reactionary" agenda. It would never happen, they will never do anything but blog, but if they tried I would weep for joy as Tea Party rednecks, black bloc anarchists, Koch plutocrats, and lefty trade unionists joined hands to crush these nerds into paste.

weev on justine tunney:

quote:

I have worked with Justine Tunney. Not at Google, however. She writes clean and well-documented code. Obviously there is a huge gap in our politics, as I am not an advocate of monarchy or into neoreaction. My politics are generally quite anti-authoritarian. However, she seems to be an extremely effective problem solver and a level-headed, even-handed, fair person that generally cares about building things and accomplishing goals.

lol

weev is claiming he is living in the levant and preparing for his retribution against the evil USA soon, for the record. good ppl.

That's where their plan falls down. This is also why they never talk about implementation or any kind of praxis. They are hypothesizing a very coercive and violent society, but they are not in any position to provide the violence necessary, nor are any of the actual violent people in the country going to act on their behalf.

So they all jack each other off on their blogs instead.

They decide based on reactions to a post. Does everybody think it was obviously stupid? "That was trolling." Does everybody except a few techbro libertarians think its stupid? "That one was serious. I'm shaping the discourse!"
