01:52 MinceR; they were annexed by russia
01:53 XRevan86; Also keep in mind that Tymoshenko is quite a controversial character but she was in opposition to Yanukovich in the run-off.
01:53 XRevan86; This was a lot like the Trump vs. Clinton thing.

01:55 CrystalMath; it's a very interesting cycle: situation: pro-EU government is in power -> fair elections select someone pro-Putin -> violence breaks out and pro-EU people are put back in power -> repeat
01:55 CrystalMath; and it repeats over and over and over
01:55 MinceR; how many times has this "cycle" happened? once?
01:55 CrystalMath; twice
01:55 CrystalMath; in moldova, 3 times
01:55 MinceR; what a cycle that "repeats over and over and over"
01:56 MinceR; please, can you bother someone else with this nonsense?
01:56 CrystalMath; i think that anyone with one functioning neuron can conclude the people are pro-Putin
01:56 CrystalMath; they're being brutally held in a pro-EU dictatorship
01:56 MinceR; someone with more functioning neurons will conclude the opposite
01:57 CrystalMath; which does give them fair elections though, and lets them select their pro-Putin option, and then violently takes their rights
01:57 XRevan86; I wish I could have a fair election.
01:57 MinceR; same
01:58 MinceR; even so, at least it seems to be well known enough that the overwhelming majority of hungarians are pro-EU
01:58 MinceR; which implies that even if orban has the sort of support he keeps claiming he has, the people would not want hungary to become a part of russia
01:59 CrystalMath; well so far there was no violence in hungary
01:59 CrystalMath; no coups, only elections
01:59 XRevan86; Should I ask Putin to fix that?
01:59 CrystalMath; XRevan86: why would he ruin it?
01:59 MinceR; i'm pretty sure there was violence in hungary
02:00 XRevan86; CrystalMath: To undermine the EU?
02:00 MinceR; like when orban's thugs physically prevented representatives of the democratic opposition from submitting proposals for referenda
02:00 MinceR; also when some fascist physically attacked refugees near the border for no reason
02:01 MinceR; also when the police arrested someone for saying something unkind about the gypsy king on faecesbook
02:01 CrystalMath; those aren't coups at least
02:01 MinceR; yeah, and who cares about anything else
02:01 XRevan86; CrystalMath: , ?
02:02 CrystalMath; i wouldn't like a coup to happen in hungary, just fair elections
02:04 XRevan86; CrystalMath: If Orban decides that Hungary needs to leave the EU and gets the boot, would that be antidemocratic when "the overwhelming majority of hungarians are pro-EU"?

02:06 CrystalMath; probably there would be a referendum to leave
02:06 CrystalMath; and then we would know
02:06 CrystalMath; like there was in the UK, and time and time again, the vast majority loudly said "we want to leave"
02:06 MinceR; not as long as orban is only useful to putler and winnie the pooh as a spy/lobbyist in the EU
02:06 CrystalMath; they gave the tories all the support needed to leave
02:07 MinceR; in the UK, the vast majority was lied to, and now the vast majority realizes that
02:07 CrystalMath; i think if there was another poll held, leave would still win

02:48 Skywave; in the broadest terms possible, private control of others.
02:49 Skywave; vs a more shared egalitarian system.
02:49 Skywave; intellectual property, patents, this is capitalism.
02:49 Skywave; communalism, the Kibbutz system in Israel, this is communism.
02:49 MinceR; i doubt anyone else uses these definitions
02:49 Skywave; i think far-right vs far-left is prety well-understood at least in a simple level.
02:49 Skywave; but i am open to new words.
02:49 MinceR; is it?
02:50 Skywave; i can say human supremacists or transhumanists if you will.
02:50 MinceR; seems to be orthogonal to the above
02:50 MinceR; for example, you could implants to liberate someone, but also to enslave them
02:50 *techrights-ipfs-bot (~techrights-ipfs-bot@pumv3cb2rfinu.irc) has joined #techrights
02:50 Skywave; i like Jreg's 100-axis political map video.
02:50 Skywave; yes. so left-transhumanist.
02:50 MinceR; as for human supremacy, i'm not sure what humans would be compared to
02:51 Skywave; posthumans.
02:51 MinceR; that seems to be hard to nail down when we don't even know what posthumans are going to be like, if they'll ever exist
02:51 Skywave; some people are viscerally hostile to ideas such as minds merging together, or editing the neural architecture with genetic engineering.
02:51 MinceR; (there could even be multiple options)
02:51 Skywave; i think i have talked about this with enough people that i can immediately spot the human supremacists.
02:52 Skywave; basically some people want to create new experimental life no matter the cost.
02:52 Skywave; like proteins -> RNA -> DNA.
02:52 Skywave; others want to freeze evolution down to some arbitrary level.
02:52 MinceR; i'm pretty sure there are other options
02:52 Skywave; i think the purpose of humanity should be to build something better than itself.
02:52 Skywave; at each stage, the next lifeform normally dominates the previous lifeforms entirely.
02:52 Skywave; not out of malice, but because it is so much better at it.
02:52 MinceR; for example, creation of new life doesn't have to risk creating a new pathogen
02:53 Skywave; i am thinking of intelligence not simple organisms.
02:53 MinceR; afaik for most of the existence of life on earth, no one lifeform dominated all others
02:53 MinceR; depending on definition, it might not be the case even now
02:53 Skywave; you can read about the RNA world.
02:53 MinceR; i know about the RNA world
02:53 Skywave; when RNA built DNA, DNA steamrolled RNA.
02:53 Skywave; we have no idea what the RNA world might've looked like.
02:53 MinceR; except it didn't
02:53 Skywave; the only trace is RNA viruses.
02:53 MinceR; we have RNA viruses
02:53 Skywave; RNA is not free.
02:54 MinceR; we have RNA processes
02:54 Skywave; yes but no RNA lifeforms.
02:54 Skywave; RNA does whatever DNA tells it to.
02:54 MinceR; RNA is too simple to be called life
02:54 MinceR; at least according to this line of thought
02:54 Skywave; this is what AGI will think of DNA.
02:54 MinceR; RNA viruses do not do what DNA tell them to
02:54 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 30.50 k/sec., IPFS upstream 32.38 average k/sec., average swarm size 273.75
02:54 Skywave; this is why i said RNA viruses are the only leftover.
02:55 MinceR; well, RNA-only life couldn't be particularly complex to begin with
02:55 Skywave; same again as what AGI will say about DNA.
02:55 MinceR; and it had particular requirements for its environment
02:55 Skywave; yes.
02:55 Skywave; like humans on earth.
02:55 MinceR; i doubt any of it was more complex than current RNA viruses
02:55 Skywave; right.
02:55 MinceR; probably back in the day, no life had a membrane or a capsid
02:55 Skywave; beings quadrillions of times more intelligent than all humans throughout history will think we were a drop in the ocean as well.
02:56 Skywave; i only see DNA as a stepping-stone.
02:56 MinceR; it might be
02:56 Skywave; if it is not, i would be very disappointed.
02:56 MinceR; hell, considering what we're doing to this planet, DNA may well become nonviable
02:56 MinceR; along with RNA
02:56 Skywave; if you want to bring it down to realism yes absolutely.
02:56 Skywave; everything i say is about making sure i am dealing with CORE people and not ARM.
02:57 Skywave; i do not think you are ARM.
02:57 Skywave; some people are way too attached to their 5-sense 3+1-dimensional mainstream-everything postage-stamp consensus-reality.
02:57 Skywave; they think this is all there is and ever can be.
02:57 Skywave; these are ARM, human supremacists.
02:57 MinceR; there being CORE or ARM might be an optimistic vision in itself
02:57 Skywave; it is an absolutist vision but a good meme. one of the best.
02:57 Skywave; GDI/Nod, UEF/Cybrans.
02:58 CrystalMath; i'm actually an autarchist, we should all live independently from everyone else
02:58 Skywave; Templars from Deus Ex Invisible War are human supremacists who kill all augmented humans, including children, in the game.
02:58 MinceR; how do you come into existence independently from everyone else?
02:58 Skywave; the individual desires judgment. without that desire, the cohesion of groups is impossible, and so is civilization.
02:58 Skywave; the human being created civilization, not because of a willingness, but because of a need to be assimilated into higher orders of structure and meaning.
02:58 CrystalMath; Skywave: so what, cohesion sucks
02:59 Skywave; the human organism always worships. first it was the gods, then it was fame. the observation and judgment of others. next, it will be the self-aware systems we will build to realize truly omnipresent observation and judgment.
02:59 MinceR; CrystalMath: so why have cohesion between your cells?
02:59 CrystalMath; MinceR: if i get cancer, rest assured that i will recognize its independence
02:59 Skywave; the need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by god. now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms.

03:03 Skywave; i rebel against the physical universe itself.
03:03 Skywave; like in Gnosticism.
03:04 CrystalMath; oh, i don't... i support all the natural stuff
03:04 Skywave; physicality is an Archontic trap by the Demiurge.

03:04 CrystalMath; it's not my ideal
03:04 CrystalMath; i would rather destroy everything man-made
03:04 MinceR; we may end up not needing all matter in one universe
03:05 MinceR; we might even end up transcending matter
03:05 CrystalMath; MinceR: i oppose that too
03:05 Skywave; yes MinceR i know ;_; i agree.
03:05 Skywave; i am Ascension all the way. but it may never happen.
03:05 Skywave; the purpose of life is to find out the purpose of life.
03:05 Skywave; if there isn't any, try finding it out anyway.
03:05 CrystalMath; there is no purpose of life
03:05 Skywave; you can't know that, that's the point :>
03:05 MinceR; i thought the purpose of life was to reproduce
03:05 CrystalMath; i know that for sure
03:05 Skywave; of biological life sure.
03:06 Skywave; not capital l Life.
03:06 MinceR; is it really life if it does not reproduce?
03:06 Skywave; such concepts may not exist at high enough levels.
03:06 CrystalMath; Skywave: i've completely severed my ties with platonism long ago
03:06 CrystalMath; i strongly believe that humans are just animals and 100% matter
03:06 Skywave; i am 100% Aristotle, **** Plato lol.
03:06 Skywave; yes me too.
03:06 Skywave; just that what we see as 'matter' on 5 senses and 3 dimensions may be only a fraction of what really exists.
03:07 CrystalMath; aristotle was even more of a moron :S
03:07 Skywave; i am not into 'woo'.
03:07 CrystalMath; epicurus was the only one that was right
03:07 Skywave; welp i like Aristotle so w/e you can hate him if you want.
03:07 Skywave; i also like Hegel.

06:44 DaemonFC; Hardly any vodka sold in America is from Russia. Only about 1% sold last year was made in Russia.
06:45 DaemonFC; People are pouring out bottles that were made in America and throughout Western European countries by descendants of Russian immigrants with no other ties to Russia, who have voiced disapproval of the war.
06:46 DaemonFC; It makes sense to get rid of the brands actually made in Russia, but won't damage their economy very much.
06:46 DaemonFC; We can make vodka here.
06:46 DaemonFC; The Russian government controls and taxes vodka exports, but their marketshare in the US was collapsing anyway.
06:46 DaemonFC; In 2011, it was 2.5%.
06:53 DaemonFC; If I wasn't married, I'd probably go join up to fight the Russians over there.
06:53 DaemonFC; Other than this, my life hasn't gone very well and I'd say they may kill me, and I might take a few of them with me.
06:55 DaemonFC; It doesn't surprise me that they managed to get 16,000 foreign fighters in just a week even though it's difficult to get over there right now.

11:57 schestowitz; hi, q
11:57 q; helo schestowitz
11:57 schestowitz; XRevan86: don't know, but i do not agree with him on this
11:57 schestowitz; XRevan86: can you read the above?
11:58 schestowitz; give me feedback
11:58 bnchs; i wonder if theres a single government/king that's treated as equally as he treats his citizens
11:58 schestowitz; I want to remind people that Russians are people too
11:58 schestowitz; rianne is extremely upset about the dehumanisation
11:58 schestowitz; she hates Putin
11:58 bnchs; that treats himself as equally as he treats his citizens*
11:58 schestowitz; but condemns the response
11:58 schestowitz; bnchs: yes, similar in Morocco
11:59 schestowitz; kings who don't view constituents as people
11:59 schestowitz; they don't need to get elected
11:59 schestowitz; no actual election
11:59 bnchs; yes
11:59 schestowitz; so they view the population as "ANIMALS THAT NEED TO BE CONTROLLED"
11:59 bnchs; the king can elect whatever he wants
12:00 XRevan86; "This week I worry about Edward Snowden and what might happen to him in case the US (or EU) captures hostages." <- Huh?
12:00 bnchs; moroccan shills will tell you thats because moroccans are dumb!!! they cant decide!!

12:00 bnchs; the king only wants control and wealth
12:01 schestowitz-TR2; XRevan86: they can arrest some russian oligarchs
12:01 schestowitz-TR2; and then do exchanges
12:01 schestowitz-TR2; putin already has one
12:01 XRevan86; schestowitz: Apart from that, the rest makes sense. And that, to be honest, it's not realistic to expect him to step down.
12:01 schestowitz-TR2; i know
12:01 schestowitz-TR2; which makes the point
12:01 schestowitz-TR2; that he SHOULD have
12:01 schestowitz-TR2; but WON'T
12:01 schestowitz-TR2; because he's a F***WIT
12:02 XRevan86; Fair enough.
12:02 schestowitz-TR2; there are other world leaders like that
12:02 schestowitz-TR2; and they should be prevented from gaining power in the first place
12:02 bnchs; also the king/queen is only chosen from mohammed's family
12:02 schestowitz-TR2; that's the only rational thing
12:02 schestowitz-TR2; prevention
12:03 schestowitz-TR2; bnchs: yes, succession must come from his penis
12:03 bnchs; so unless you overthrow him or he stops giving birth
12:03 bnchs; his family (with history of human rights violations) is still gonna control the country
12:05 bnchs; there are prime ministers but the king chooses them and because of that, it's mostly just islamics and shit
12:06 schestowitz-TR2; they use the religion
12:06 schestowitz-TR2; putin uses orthdox church shit
12:06 schestowitz-TR2; god chose king
12:06 schestowitz-TR2; king chose politician
12:06 schestowitz-TR2; to deny the politician is to defy a king
12:06 schestowitz-TR2; to deny the king is to defy god
12:06 schestowitz-TR2; i.e. sacrilegious
12:07 schestowitz-TR2; so just follow orders from another human
12:07 bnchs; "god chose king" is what they want you to believe
12:07 schestowitz-TR2; that human is your allah
12:08 XRevan86; schestowitz: The Russian state was weak and undeveloped, so one man easily took over and destroyed all institutions.
12:09 bnchs; this also means that the government is heavily biased towards islam, and criminalizes "shaking the faith of a Muslim"
12:10 bnchs; which is intentionally vague, and means that people who convert to other religions can be arrested or face criminal prosecution
12:12 bnchs; christians have to practice their faith secretly, in some house

20:08 DaemonFC; 5 years ago, I read about an Apple employee who was living in a garage and using a compost bucket for a toilet and paying $3,500 a month.

20:09 bnchs; DaemonFC, average apple user
20:09 bnchs; they literally pay top dollar for a stans
20:09 bnchs; stand
20:09 DaemonFC; If you look on apartments dot com, it takes $1,500 to live in an apartment no bigger than the one I rent for $875, but with 3 other roommates. And if one violates the lease, you're all responsible for it.
20:09 bnchs; over more than a thousand dollars for a fucking steel stand
20:09 DaemonFC; They won't acknowledge it, but landlords deliberately commit arson against their own buildings in San Francisco to drive out rent controlled tenants.
20:10 bnchs; a thousand dollar for a stand*
20:10 DaemonFC; Then they get the checks from the insurance for not having rent income and for losing the building.
20:10 DaemonFC; Then they sit on it for 2-3 years before they fix the building to make sure the rent controlled tenant doesn't come back.
20:10 DaemonFC; Then they fix it and jack up the rent 500%.

20:11 DaemonFC; It's called eviction by fire, and everyone knows they do it.
20:11 DaemonFC; But the City Council doesn't investigate landlords for it because they're being bribed.
20:12 DaemonFC; Apparently, arson is a huge problem in the "Tenderloin District" and none of the city supervisors can find out why.
20:12 DaemonFC; Fire dept stumped too. Imagine....
20:12 DaemonFC; a thousand dollar for a stand*
20:12 DaemonFC; Gucci has $600 case for your airpods.
20:13 DaemonFC; Italy carved out an exemption to the Russian sanctions so that oligarchs can keep buying Gucci.
20:13 bnchs; rich people spend a thousand dollar for a stand that you can probably make it yourself or pay someone to make it
20:13 bnchs; and save the rest of that 1k

20:38 DaemonFC; Europe foolishly depended on them for a ton of oil and gas and now they're going to be in for a very painful transition.
20:39 DaemonFC; Probably fully half of people in the EU area won't be able to heat their homes due to their politicians depending on Russia for natural gas imports.
20:40 DaemonFC; Banning their fossil fuels would be important for the US policy because it would take away one of the few remaining export products that allows them to sell USD for Rubles and prop that up.
20:40 DaemonFC; So the Ruble would lose more support.
20:41 DaemonFC; Trying to support the Ruble just leads to other problems.
20:41 DaemonFC; Now they have a bunch of Rubles they can't really spend except internally, and there's more Euros and USDs in circulation.
20:42 DaemonFC; Which is kind of funny, because it causes a problem for the Fed and the ECB where they're going to have to hike interest rates to try to slow them down.
20:42 DaemonFC; Russia will have ended up really fucking the world economy, not just theirs, and it will take years to go back to normal even if the sanctions are removed.
