mircea_popescu decimation it'd be the big bad, by definition. it only exists conceptually to accomodate asciilifeform's rampant pareidolia :D [04:55]
asciilifeform at any rate, physical 'hitlers' are not a necessary hypothesis. ussr was perfectly capable of plugging a poor sod on a london bridge with poison umbrella, without competent leadership [04:56]
asciilifeform empire can commit any kind of elaborate crimes without leader. only thing it can't do without leader is - survive in long term [04:56]
asciilifeform but that's a separate puzzle [04:56]

asciilifeform actually they all entered 'public life' long ago, as the most loathesomely loyal cocksuckers imaginable. [05:27]
decimation in 'public life', they were immediately schooled by fdr's sycophants who were exiting power at the time [05:27]

asciilifeform decimation: in wwii << after invention of nuke, they realized that much as they would love to repeat the performance again and again as necessary, might put their own arses in peril. so - settled for a slow and continuous version of this. [05:31]
mircea_popescu decimation let's be fair here : you're a freshman, there's 12 kids in senior year. eleven strip naked, pour gasoline over each other and set themselves ablaze. the 12th puts them out by running into them backwards then continues to run backwards into things for a week or so, until he's finally comatose and just spazzes quietly on the ground. [05:31]
