I literally never browse imageboards, my friend who is significantly more chronically online than me (we spend the same amount of time online but he just does more random browsing) introduced me to these, why is it every single image board i come across seems radicalized? e.g. nazi trans flags / white power flags etc
obviously my first site was 4 chan, i posted ~3 times on the lgbt board & made like 2 friends, stopped talking to them shortly after, then my friend showed me soyjak party, then recently showed me end chan & this.
i'm a left leaning person, considered a moderate liberal and it seems like i dont even have a place here.
im genuinely curious. i dont know the culture here and it seems like i dont fit in because everyone seems significantly more extreme than me.
am i socially inept? or am i not socially inept enough to fit in here? i dont really fit in anywhere on the internet it seems.
110 posts and 9 image replies omitted.>>750501I recently went to /g/ for the first time in years to get a small issue solved and every post was a paranoid screed about how Linux has been captured by CIA transhumanists or some shit
>>750547>whatever is unpopularVice versa. All those "anti-woke" videos on YT were a literal reflection of what was being pushed on 4chan.
Or do you think imageboards are some kind of elite place, out of the reach of political bots? Boards are literally the perfect place for propaganda, with their anonymity.

>>750273>>750571>Rapeape runs the site and actively promotes /pol/shitNo idea if it's true but I recently heard a rumor that RapeApe is apparently half-hispanic or something. (Which would be the most unsurprising thing in the world. But, still.)
But yeah, anyone saying 4chan is mostly center-left is obviously insane. I would not be surprised if there are more leftists than liberals on 4chan. Either way, most boards are > 85% right-wing.
