It's really just a civilizational collapse because we're out of ideas to increase production.

Treat us like all them enemy combatants overseas. Empire comes home.

My my, sounds like the navy brass got their panties in a bunch over this one.

Sorta buys the argument libertarians are inconsistent because "they're a private company, hurr durr". Look, I say let 'em. These big tech companies are well known .gov collaborators and absolute rascals. I encourage them fully to engage in as much anti-market behavior as possible, in order to hasten their march into the grave. Evolutionary things like libertarian free markets require strong signals, and "get woke, go broke" is the best.

You love it, slave

Just squat in the house you sell to never have to give it up but enjoy the money from the sale. EZ money

Extreme authoritarianism works, because viruses aren’t magic. Extreme libertarianism works, because a naked, completely unleashed market can adapt as fast as any virus. We have inductive evidence for authoritarianism. We have to deduce libertarianism. We can still argue about the moderate window between them—but we know it sucks.

Moreover, what if even these concepts of libertarianism and authoritarianism trap us within a simplistic frame? They seem to be opposites—but they both work. Suppose we could construct some kind of five-dimensional political geometry under which they were actually one thing? Libertarian authoritarianism might work even better…

Maybe, just maybe the deaths are good, and you shouldn't try to stop it? Maybe evolutionary pressure is the answer to retroviral phenomena? Nobody wants to hear this take, it's too real.

As expected, the only way they could get it done and save face while hating on Russia is to throw the YPG under the bus.

Presumably they are worried that "we no longer require your services" just like with cryptocurrency obsoleting the big banksters.

Good. The departure was all stupid kabuki anyways.

Among the accusations is running a satanic bitcoin cult. Sounds about right for the usual hyperbole the MAN slings.

Even the Hun fell for it.

A waste of money as usual. Why bother with ship killers when nukes take out the entire fleet?

Shocked, simply shocked

I would argue that turning it into a "super-virus" via mutation pressure was the point, but I'm a bit paranoid on these things.

The follow up on Cryptogon is also good.

lulz, no wonder Keiser stopped going on his show

Great stuff, will BOLO for investments in this vein going forward.

Greenwald says mean things about us waa

That journos are not just Pravda.

His most important point is essentially this: You don't cut out cancer and then ask "doc, what do I replace it with???"

The rogue process-driven organizations directing society calling themselves government are cancerous. Just cut them out and don't worry about what will replace them, because they don't need to exist in the first place.

Gurri predicted throughout that entrenched authorities would be unable to distinguish between legitimate criticism and illegitimate rebellion. Once they lost control “over the story told about their performance,” they’d denounce clearly factual evidence of public discontent as lies. Gurri would later talk about centralized authority being “institutionally unable to grasp that it has lost its monopoly over political reality.” This in turn would stimulate even more “distrust and loss of legitimacy.”

We can all see how the sausage is made at process driven bureaucries and realize we're fed a bunch of shit. I will do a more long-form addressing of this soon.

5 year plan scam

Glad Thaddeus finally had Vin on.

That which is not seen...Save some tiny amount of boomer lives which are close to over in exchange for huge numbers of babies never, ever born. Probably the intended effect from the population control loving criminals in charge.

Pretty much sums up the current era. Boomers Uber Alles. It's not even conscious, just their typical solipsism.
