Внутренний подпольщик

Literarily cringeworthy, philosophically vapid and creatively stillborn screed of a novel “Atlas Shrugged” a.k.a. the libertarian bible offers the following dystopian idea: what if all job creating entrepreneurial geniuses suddenly decided to fuck off to some remote compound to build new society there, shielded from the big government. Naturally without these champions of “greedom” - the result of crossing “greed” with “freedom” - America is going first to wither then to collapse only to lie in ...

There’s something trivial yet funny: when you read all sorts of rationalizations or cheering for Trump wrecking science and education one common theme keeps popping up. For example, some of those in support of defunding Harvard or Columbia are themselves educated, yet they didn’t quite make the cut to the highest levels of learning or research. Second and third tier scientists being against the elites is very understandable. Of course having one’s child rejected by an Ivy doesnt help - supposedl...

Fifteen or so years ago a friend - an avid cyclist - told me about an argument between two male drivers he witnessed. The fight was over the right of way. As often the case with the so-called alpha males it escalated to name calling and one of them - the aggressor - yelled at the other: “If you don’t yield I’ll bite your dick off” What an unexpected turn of events … so many weird connotations… I remembered it now having just read about the latest twist in the Trump’s trade war with China. The on...

Remember how I was talking about three distinct groups in the Trump regime 1. Brown shirts - the early beer hall nazis a.k.a national-populists (Navarro, Miller, inspired by Bannon) 2. Black shirts - digital neo-fascists a cross between old school aristocratic pan german nationalists Von Schönerer, mystical fascists - think Evola, Heidegger etc and the Thyssens and Krupps like industrialists (Musk). Never mind that Bannon loves Evola or Alexander Dugin - he's still with the dumb beer and onion b...

Nothing is over. The markets rallied on the news that the world wouldn't end - not for 90 days. Because if these idiotic tariffs were not stopped we would be scavenging for soap and toilet paper within weeks. I'm sure some piggies close to the "President" made some highly profitable trades - happy for them. As of now 💣 Trade war with China still stands. 💣 There's an excess 10% surcharge on everybody else which is likely to get reciprocated 💣 As predicted by many including by this blog, Trump ...

The big grift. I have said many times that the actions of this regime should not be viewed as pursuit of a national interest. If you want things to start making sense look for profiteering opportunities instead. Ask yourself Qui Prodest? 💡Last night arbitrary crippling tariffs, ostensibly computed using a method proposed by chatGPT prompted by a drunk intern, were decreed under the pretense of "bringing American manufacturing back". Every disinterested person with a functioning brain argues tha...

Давайте минутку про безопасность. Всякую незаконную деятельность отслеживают по мобильным устройствам. У ментов есть доступ к сотовым логам. Они смотрят какие СИМ карты были рядом с каким-то явлением, если событий много — например митингов — или допустим по локации — скажем гейклуб или крамольный книжный магазин, то простеньким алгоритмом находятся все симки, с очень высокой вероятностью связанные с местом или событиями. Все берутся на карандаш. Далее можно работать с людьми по списку —&nbs...

Great mobilization rally in NYC ✅Wins - Big crowds. I cant put a number on it but the marchers filled Fifth Avenue for fifteen city blocks for at least an hour. - Not a partisan event but rather a march against an enemy of American democracy. You could see signs from churches, pro-palestinian groups, Israeli flags, queer flags, unions, academics, lawyers, financiers, blue collar workers, retirees and students. No Democrats or Republicans, Socialists or otherwise - just Americans united in opposi...

Похвастаюсь немного. В 1994 году я прилетел в Москву из Израиля впервые после двух лет полной изоляции от "русской культуры" — интернета, как и иновещания, тогда толком не существовало, а международные звонки стоили таких диких денег, что люди вместо разговоров по телефону передавали с оказиями "звуковые письма". В общем, родина два года жила в моей голове исключительно в виде воспоминаний. Привыкнув к морозу и осмотревшись свежим взглядом, я встретился поболтать с одноклассником. Помню разговор...

Сегодня годовщина Холокоста, но я хочу вот о чем сказать. Морозы в Киеве уже пару недель, и кажется, они продлятся еще неделю, если не больше. Панельный дом без отопления и электричества полностью промерзает за трое суток. Несколько сотен тысяч киевлян живут в таких домах. За две недели в обледенелой железобетонной коробке, вероятность тяжело заболеть у старика, ребенка или человека с ослабленным иммунитетом довольно высока. То есть российские зверства — они намерено разрушали ТЭЦ в гражданских ...
