One of the things that has piqued my interest this year is what is definitively leftism and how far back leftism goes, either in direct lineage or through historical reoccurrence. Knowledgeable right-wing spaces (incl. here) have pointed out how Napoleon Bonaparte sided with leftist insanity against a rather reasonable reformation of the nobility. The classical liberals of the time were a minority. Despite a different world-view of several millennia, the dawn of the Roman empire shares many phenomenon. One example Julius Caesar appeasing of lower de facto and de jure social status for political clout regardless of their character, ability to produce value, or strengthen social cohesion. Rome also had the broadening of citizenship over the centuries, tossing aside something that worked instead of correcting the defects of their system. There's also the notorious social decadence of the late-republic, until the fall of the empire, you pointed at in your comment.
I've heard good things about the whole movie, but the storm trooper town guards in this clip really is ordinary for much western live-action choreography.
Seems like this organic, untainted slice of the web shrinks and gets hidden away every year. Just some blog posts, pieces of media, and a link to the guy's pre-indie saturation era game.
Thanks, I'm not that intimately knowledgeable about Windows or malware, and only use it for some games. What I found interesting from HN is that some company had crowdstrike on a Debian machine and that it hosed that system (not recently) due to a specific version and configuration crowdstrike didn't test. To me crowdstrike seems irrelevant for linux land, as opposed to other enterprise practices such as apparmor/selinux and app sandboxing, but I'm not a corporate sysadmin. I originally was on hacker news to skim how newsworthy crowdstrike was before this incident.
Just did some digging, and would you know it, the EU that normie-baiters (such as Asmongold) love is partially responsible. And yes, not grasping that 99% of anti-trust is fundamentally capricous and arbitrary (aka fake and gay) indicates deficient higher-order reasoning. Anti-trust is oft about two big competitors undergoing regulatory capture, and bureaucrats self-justifying jobs rather than the general welfare.
That subreddit got defaced by smarmy srs fucks a few years ago.
I don't agree with sections of this article, but it is disappointing Milei isn't doing everything reasonably within his power to promote right-libertarian principles and policy.

For me, it's not that he made a dark joke, but that Kyle got snared in the lame ass Fahrenheit 451 style manufactured hate. So much for "sticking it to the man", rock n' roll's euphemism for non-conformity that their movie was a PG-13 comedy about. In a more just world, every American susceptible to TDS (or its reverse, unironic trump Idolatry) would be ostracized from enlightened society, or at the very least pre-filtered from voting by an earned franchise.
My only problem with TB is he would pull "both sides mah bad" regarding gamergate.
Shamus Young was pretty substantial (rip), but most of his stuff was not on that website.
What a fuckin flock of pearl clutching sheep in that comment section. 'What about his European ancestors!', an actual case of 'what-aboutism' (conventionalist anti-racsists love to utter that soundbyte when convenient) that is also distracting the gaggle from noticing they're reinforcing first-world-problem culture.
bzbz7932 is the only guy spitting facts in that comment section. I don't see anyone refuting his point that white kids are bullied at nearby schools by blacks. Just a bunch of duckspeaking outside his thread.
Being a masochist, I opened r/all again. r/livestreamfails. No upvoted comments about the incident likely being a nothingburger. 1/5 comments either about pedophilia, or the usual fence-sitting about optics comment thread that gets more engagement than the rest of the comment section. That website is has something wrong at the core.
Fence-sitting comments are always about how a thread is a dumpster-fire, when examination shows someone lit a cigarette 20 ft from the dumpster. That or a pretend-deep observation about public figure's actions look bad, veiled attempts to get others to think said person is bad. Ex: Ted Cruz staying on vacation a day into Texas's blackouts when being a federal legislator has little to do with that job. Nimrods thinking or saying Ted looked bad are why people have to waste time looking busy at their jobs.
I've posted here about theoryofreddit (screenshotted in this twitter post) banning those who participated in covid skeptic subreddits. So, that guy postulating about reddit activity is going to get a constrained response. And, r/redditalternatives got overtaken by the eststablishment leftist culture after the subreddit boycott last year. Ironically, it's futile to have a insightful conversation, on how and why Reddit is shitting the fan, anywhere on Reddit.
As bad as the politically correct tribe is, the biggest thorn in gaming was normies slurping the yearly sports slop and CoD at full price. Even with stagnant quality, ads in paid games. Soon afterwards, the advent of MTX with whales coincided with smartphones and the explosion of the casual, undiscerning audience. The sustaining presence of indies simply was seen as an alternative to mass consumer culture. Caring about corporate and woke infiltrations would require a lot of people to choose pro-social behavior over their instant gratification.
In concordance with my last comment on the subject, I will be surprised if he gets more than 6 months in prison. As a high-profile and low-risk convict (assuming appeals are exhausted), it is sensible to incarcerate him at a more favorable location than a random felon.
Security modeling is more complicated for organizations at that scale. Gotta assess the importance and sensitivity of various trade secrets, and compartmentalize accordingly. Being too secretive can compromise product quality, or the effectiveness of said secrecy policies themselves. "Wages of secrecy" is the term I'm aware of, from ESR's writings on open source software.
At Twitter, any such blanket policy would be absolute overkill, and result in a brain-drain and stiffening of corporate culture. Spacex and Tesla have more pervasive trade secrets, for the right experts to preform cost/risk analysis.
An OpenAI (or any similar cloud product) ban is what any competent corporation should be doing. For appropriate opsec, a company has to have a general culture of literacy, merit, loyalty, and independent thinking, best summed by the saying "common sense is not so common".
Most "social media" (formulated brainrot) is a pale imitation of academics, industry professionals, and nerd side of pre-2008 internet. The OLPC project indeed showed that the noble-savage is largely a myth. I still think a walled-garden is suitable for a rural tribe that has to have electricity and telecommunications subsidized. Really, I have higher expectations for newcomers than formulated brainrot.
"Edit: There are some salty bitches who hate the truth. Sorry faggots, but ..."
Hans-Hermann Hoppe is clear enough with estoppel, where someone who is credibly incompatible with a community's ability to uphold morals is to be expelled.
Look, we get it's a catch-22 with foreign policy. Leave the vapid, dramatic, copy-paste tone out of it.
Since my last post, and Trump's appearance being in the news, I did some casual research. These open-border fans are more prevalent than I wanted to admit. I have solidified that libertarians concerned with the real societies need to rebrand, ditching these cognitively dissonant jackrabbits.
I voted for Gary in 2016, and like many other small-govt. conservatives went over to Trump by 2020 upon his enacted domestic policy (reduced regulations) and improved foreign policy over the past 40 years. Without a Trump 2024, a societal environment where a libertarian revolution can happen, before national collapse, will be quashed. That is more important than a bump-stock ban or any other snags from his first term. It's beyond irritating that all parties have people that will vote to feel better about themselves, instead of putting non-trivial effort to making the best possible choice.
I was doing some thinking about how open-border libertarians were tunnel-visioned on the cons and risks of a government with strong borders. The contradiction highlighted in OP's title, between vaccine passports and open-borders, reminded me that these people aren't that deep.
The libertarian movement is heterogeneous. The retarded side gained in visibility among non-libertarians, the exception being the Ron Paul/Mises movement.
There was much cultural intermingling with retarded hippies over some social and political agreements (such as the draft). An Eternal September effect happened too, where those concerned with socioeconomic theory couldn't keep up with all the influx of dipshits that wanted only their taxes lower and to smoke weed. These dipshits had no immunity to woke contamination. Maybe someone alive during the cold war can correct me, but much of the hippie movement was the nucleus of modern America's woke culture, alongside broader cultural marxist phenomenon spanning the past century.
Looking past your quip, the right libertarian principles work in the right circumstances. See medieval Iceland (will source on request, Friedman's son has written on the subject). Or, the Wild West where the largest massacre (excluding govt sponsored campaigns against natives) was 3 wounded, 3 dead in a city that practiced gun control.
Hunter is getting upper tier service, no fucking way will he be permitted to contest for 2A in the court of law.
P.S. It's asmongold btw. His faggotry has been pointed out here, for example when Sweet Baby Inc. was blowing up and he called them the real racists. There's a dozen personalities you could swap in. He has also pushed the "Jan 6th was obviously inexcusable" narrative fed to him by mainstream media, on a video about Destiny's appearance on Piers Morgan after the assassination attempt. He has since been on my blacklist as background noise for when I'm playing single-player games. Any video essayist gets blacklisted when I I get any whiff of half-way wokism, including "inclusionism is fine" or "I'm not discussing Chris Avelone in a multi-hour video about Kotor 2's story" (the alt-tech revolution, where these slimy fucks are ultimately ostracized from society can't happen soon enough). The important part is the spectrum of superficially counter-culture types pushing and eating these defenses for the status-quo, the Man, or whatever you want to call it.
For a left-wing example of a lenient adherence to rational consistency, take the few commentators on this video defending the access of third-party anti-virus to the Windows kernel, because 'big business being anti-competive = bad'. As I responded in that comment section, this is protectionist nonsense that has gas pump attendants in New Jersey, or anti grocery store liquor laws. At least with the late 90s internet explorer anti-trust suit, there was a goal for a competitive web browser market for an open internet. The competition for Windows Defender is Linux and BSD, not predatory anti-virus software.
There's also my dissatisfaction with common vernacular and it's tendencies towards unsuitable binaries. There's more than one right-wing, and this 'alternative right' are not normies and psychos freaking out over Doom and Judas Priest. I need to read up on Korzybski's general semantics.
