gratitude on being alive and aware - [PEACE] yo!

2018-11-22 Thread Zenaan Harkness
Awareness of self awareness, and the wonderousness of it all abounds
for some.

Many have sung gratitude for the reality of being and the abundance
of existence itself, which is hereby echoed.

Thank you one and all. Gratitude. Our passions, our Soul cries, our
eternal search for fulfillment, meaning, love and connection.

May your life be abundant and rich in experiences and may you find
that which your Soul seeks for you.

Peace y'all :)



Be Thankful. At Least You’re Alive.
Andrew Anglin Daily Stormer November 22, 2018
https://dailystormer.name/be-thankful-at-least-youre-alive/

 It’s Thanksgiving.

 As always, I’m thankful for the honor of running this website, and
 thankful for all of the people who read it.

 I’m most thankful when I hear stories of how I’ve helped people.
 With women, with health, with motivation, with confidence, with
 whatever.

 I’m here to help.

 It’s more than I ever could have asked for, and I will be forever
 humbled by it.

 Beyond that, I am as always thankful for my family.

 This year, I’m especially thankful for Tucker Carlson.

I candidly admit I don't know the whole history of the use of those 
words but I never saw them used in political literature from the 19th century. 
If I had to guess, the terms became common in the 20th century.

Regardless, the fact that monarchists sat on the right was abstracted 
and "the right" became a label for conservatives/monarchists. So it doesn't 
apply only to revolutionary france but to all 
conservatives/monarchists/theocrats.

Now, if "the right' is the state-church-oligarchy, ancien regime, or 
powers that be, then people who oppose them must be on "the left", at least 
according to one simple interpretation. In the french case, the people who 
opposed the monarchy were a mix of socialists and fake libertarians, who wanted 
varying degrees of statism.

Quite related fact : a few years before the french revolution there was 
a coup d'etat against the english monarchy in north america. This coup d'etat 
is known as the "american revolution" and was funded and supported by the 
french monarchy. Furthermore, more than a few particular fake 
libertarians(jefferson and co.) were involved in both the french and american 
'revolutions'.

So in the english colonies a bunch of criminals overthrew the english 
monarchy (so they were left wingers) with help from the french monarchy and 
founded a slave empire. So they were far right wingers...


Coincidentally I wonder if children in the USA learn about the fact 
that the american coup d'etat was funded by the french. I further wonder if 
children in public schools are informed of the fact that public 'education' is 
socialism and political brainwashing.

Agreed, if a some people are racists and they just talk about it, then 
it's mostly irrelevant. 

But when lots of people are racists, like say, the germans, the jews, 
the americans, and similar imperialist assholes are, then racism becomes an 
important anti-libertarian factor.


In the case of americans, so called 'liberals' actually don't give a 
fuck about racism OR are racists themselves. They pose as being against racism 
only for war propaganda purposes. Notice that the 'liberals' where the assholes 
promoting eugenics at the beginning of the 20th century. OOPS -they did that 
before hitler and co go figure...

Of course racism is significant in the US.

Yes, that's my point. Commies and american fascists are close cousins. 
And I'd put the commies on the left, and the americans who think they have a 
'manifest destiny' on the right.

It is likely triggering one branch misprediction will avoid future branch
predictions and instead cause a stall.
Even if it isn’t, taking the opposite branch once before taking the desired
one would leave many alterations to the local cache, unless in a thread on
the same core is making some effort to measure which branch was used first.

Simply flushing and using an lfence should prevent many issues and just
cause a stall.

It is funny on stackexchange that L1 and L2 caches (SRAM less vulnerable to
radiation) is often disabled due to radiation, according to various askers.

It is still bizarre that “AEX” masks registers before context switching
out. It seems as if Intel is aware of an issue that they would be liable
for. Side channel attacks obtaining information measured in the bits per
millisecond or less is unimportant. There are still several “reserved” bits
in CPUID, and buffer overreads or underreads, or non-linear overreads would
negate many defenses.
Possible that C++ could use a time consuming extension preventing parsers
reading more than a kilobyte of data, although this would require extensive
reprogramming to include it. Although a code review of parsers wouldn’t be
bad either.

“Mitigate spectre”
Well, that solves one bug we’re aware of. What’s the zero day market for
browsers again? Oh, right, RCE. RCE is a bit worse than... Spectre.

The 1-day market could be impaired by delaying the inclusion of diffs of
crash-causing or security bugs in the public code by waiting a day after
releasing the binaries. (Although this might encourage monopolies so it
should be socially fair to allow access to major downstream distributions)
The GPL doesn’t say how timely everyone has to be, and I imagine doing
things faster than it would take to make a request for the source code and
responding would be legally sufficient.

Anyway, the Grsec theory that because someone used an outdated version that
it has to be restricted to paying customers is bonkers.
I think you can legally call the Grsecurity Firm bonkers.

Fascists usualy believe that they are god's chosen master race and that they 
have a Manifest Destiny. In other words the old mercantilists from the british 
empire and modern day fascists like the americunts are both 'right wingers'. 
And actually modern day corporatists-imperialists  are simply the continuantion 
of 18th century imperialists. 
I won't argue with this, now, except to point out that the so-understood 
"leftist" dictatorships of the 20th century (usually based on Communism) tended 
to have analogous beliefs.  Not identical, of course, but analogous.  For 
example, Juan says:
"Fascists usualy believe that they are god's chosen master race and that they 
have a Manifest Destiny."
My response is that "race" is fairly irrelevant:  We can't choose our race.  
It's not a "variable", and certainly not in the short-term.  One could argue, 
"What does it matter if one person believes, and even declares, that his race 
is superior?  Unless he tries to act on this belief in a hostile or otherwise 
violent way, it is functionally irrelevant".   Yet, you will notice today that 
most of the American Left obsesses about "Nazis"  (seemingly their chosen label 
for anyone who they have come to dislike) who, they claim, believe themselves 
to be superior.  My response is:  "Does it really matter what THEY believe 
about themselves?  Is it relevant?  Is it significant?  
As for "Manifest Destiny":   Communists had the idea that their system would 
inexorably spread around the world, destroying all other forms of government.  
(So, that is indeed akin to a "Manifest Destiny".)   
Nevertheless that never happened, and it presumably didn't happen because 
Communism was eventually revealed to be horribly flawed.  Even by the late 
1920's and mid-1930's, Russian Communists had begun murdering over a million 
Kulaks (people who didn't want to give up their on personally-owned farms to 
the collective.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulak     From that article: 
("The word kulak originally referred to independent farmers in the Russian 
Empire who emerged from the peasantry and became wealthy following the Stolypin 
reform, which began in 1906. The label of kulak was broadened in 1918 to 
include any peasant who resisted handing over their grain to detachments from 
Moscow.[1] During 1929–1933, Joseph Stalin's leadership of the total campaign 
to collectivize the peasantry meant that "peasants with a couple of cows or 
five or six acres more than their neighbors" were labeled "kulaks".[2]")
Another enormous flaw with Communism (and really, with all systems that purport 
to be 'centrally-planned') is that it is virtually impossible to run an economy 
by central control.   I saw an essay once that discussed, as an example, the 
food-distribution function in Manhattan.  It explained that it was enormously 
complex, and only 'worked' because all the components made their own decisions. 
 (Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand").    It was certainly not possible to do so in 
the era before computers and Internet networking, and remains impossible today. 
 
Does anyone remember the stories about the Soviet Union, with its "5-year 
plans"?   Shoe factories, for instance, were ordered by "the plan" to produce a 
certain number (at least) of millions of pairs of shoes.  Well, they did so, 
but they tended to be of a small number of styles that many people didn't want! 
  Sure, they met 'the plan', but they didn't meet the wants and needs of the 
public.   Walk into any shoe store today, in America, and there are many 
hundreds of styles, multiplied by dozens of sizes.  A centrally-planned system 
never could accomplish this.  

    China killed perhaps 20 million people in the "Great Leap Forward", a plan 
which no doubt was intended to bring the prosperity that Mao saw in Western 
nations.  Ironically, now China is achieving

what the fuck are you talking about.


In Venezuela, and in Revolutionary France, the government enforces 
official maximum prices.


When goods are not available at these prices, which they never are, the 
government proceeds to punish whosoever formerly produced goods.


As a result, people went hungry in revolutionary France, and are going 
hungry in Venezuela.
