  • tis interesting, realistically the “hope” (before ms. industrial trash compactor) was either extremely disgruntled low level fbi guy or politician who just wants to purge old guard. One would think the disgruntled guys exist, but evidently not (or he really was just one guy. +lex wexner. +dersh. +prince andrew +bill gates +clinton +bill ackman +unknown money donors for unknown reasons)

    (countervailing forces is, of course, never let good blackmail go to waste + faves implicated)

    (wild fucking defense of “how do you preserve conspiracy with 100s of people in the know?” have not met cointelpro, for 15 fucking years it was existing without issues)

    feels like melenchon is a bit copeful on the usa and people of france tbh.

    especially this passage

    I also want to make a bet. I think that by the end of the century, maybe even sooner, the United States of America will not exist. Why? Because it’s not a nation, it’s a country that has been at war with all its neighbuors since the moment of its birth. Samuel Huntington described it as a fundamentally unstable structure and predicted that the language that will eventually become dominant there is Spanish. A huge proportion of the US population now speaks Spanish at home, and this part of the population is mostly Catholic, in contrast with the ‘enlightened’ Protestants who founded the country. These linguistic and cultural dynamics are very important. People care deeply about their native language: the one their mother used to sing them to sleep, the one they use to tell their partner that they love them. In California – a state that was torn away from Mexico, with an economy that’s the fourth largest in the world in terms of GDP – Spanish is spoken everywhere, more so than English. It is no wonder that the campaign for Californian independence is gaining traction, with a referendum to be held perhaps as early as next year. I don’t know whether it will work, but it is striking that a major state within the world’s leading power is already considering the possibility of secession. We’re going to see more of this. And the country’s dominant ideology – ‘every man for himself’ – is not going to hold it together.

    too much cultural analysis, little bit of materialist analysis. noticeable amount of those people speaking spanish would join ice-s to get irish ascension to the labor aristocracy, just like civil rights produced clyburn.











  • Ah, if you do mpi adjacent stuff, carry on rat-salute some hog shit might want 8-16 gigs per thread even, so you probably wanna be on the knowing more specs side (the shape of our datasets determines the future of our compute and things of that nature pete )

    ( allegedly amd will make 24 core on zen6 praise-it)

    (Also, speeds of 4 sticks ddr5, if you are planning to upgrade to them, are notoriously dogshit, so might be a good idea to hit the search on what speeds are achievable on your motherboard, from the top of my head msi was the best in that area, but ymmv)



  • Imma be real, if it’s purely for games ram also seems excessive, 64 gigs is doing datasets with 500 chrome tabs territory, 32 gigs seems fine for games (?maybe only microsoft 9/11 simulator approaches those). And maybe air cooler, although yours seems cheap-ish enough. Or is df memory hungry?

    Or I’m doing something wrong, cause only last year i started having slight issues on 16, and that’s from lots of tabs and game opened
