I just came across this podcast in the last week after wondering what ever happened to the FARC and AUC (right wing death squads) after the peace deal. How did things end up playing out relative compared to what was expected and feared at the time.

It’s a pretty batshit story that focuses on what became of the right wing death squads (they run the start of the cocaine supply chain it turns out among many other things) that’s extremely well researched and has amazing access. A strong recommendation from me https://insightcrime.org/audio-from-the-ground-up/the-shadow...


FARC was left-wing death squads; AUC far right counter-death squads.

What is a counter-death squad? A ragtag band of obstetricians?

Unless there’s a type of killing that doesn’t involve death, looks like the AUC was a far right wing death squad.

A death squad to attack the other death squads.

Seems like all those civilians that they chainsawed to death wouldn’t jump at the opportunity to make that distinction

It’s possible they interdicted this on a test run.

That’s a really smart idea, I don’t know why nobody thought of this or tried for multiple decades before.

The US is a big part of the problems of Latin America. They participate in the drug trade, big time.

Because a bunch of people have for inexplicable reasons tied their meaningful parts of their self identity to Elon and his grievance filled simplistic worldview and they get very very upset when flaws in it are pointed out and they respond by trying to make sure nobody can publicly criticise it.

The balance of power hasn’t made that a logical argument for a long time now.

Compare and contrast say the provisional IRA fighting the Brits to a stalemate in Northern Ireland for 30 years from the 70s-90s and then look at a modern equivalent in Palestine. The idea of a “well trained militia” doesn’t work when they can bomb you from the skies.


I mostly use it in a non Flutter context and yes, incredibly strong recommendation from me there too. It’s my new default language for the past few years for a reason.

You hit the nail on the head here, the “don’t piss inside the tent” policy is well understood by basically all Russian groups

I’ve genuinely never once met an Australian who wouldn’t laugh in your face if you were to read that statement to them and ask if they would prefer to live in the US.

I know several and we seem to agree that both countries are run by authoritarian jackasses, it isn't a pissing contest. I didn't say anything about the US being a better place to live, that's an argument you've brought yourself.

In what universe is a post created by a new account with zero comments and a grand total of 2 votes over the course of 2 hours doing on the front page?

It's an informative post about new tech, that fits pretty well here of all places.

Why would you want the author to write about something else to validate the post? That would be an appeal to authority, which is the complete opposite of what the Hacker Manifesto has always been about in terms of ethos, goals, etc.


I am polishing up my blog about some FORTRAN code I wrote last week in hopes of the same :)

I wish I could see some of your code besides tech gossip and financial news.
