Men dont read fiction because readinf fiction is a waste of time. Its really that simple, for men, reading is about productivity, disipline and getting knoeledge to make money, for women reading is an escape. Men dont need escapes.

Usually I can kind of see a point, but the art style here is just so cartoonish and over the top that I don't really buy it. Like it seems more like a parody of male gaze and indigenous fetishization. Pic related, is anybody so dumb they think this is an earnest depiction of femininityi? Both of these cases are so extreme they become grotesque if taken literally.

its hilarious how Radiohead's whole thing is "we are soulless neoliberal subjects, we have no ability to ever regain our humanity, we are wretched and spiritually abject slaves to satanic techno-capital"…

but they actually are unironic neoliberal Zionist Jews! lmao……lmao!

Fucking hell 4chan sucks so much. I got a 5 day ban that I can't even appeal yet for "banned text." And I'm pretty sure the text that triggered it, I literally just quotes from another post that went through. I think it was because the post I was replying to had the words "Wayne Lambright" in it, and all I did was highlight the text and hit the post number and added like a few common word reply, so I know it can't be what I actually wrote. Also they won't even show me which reply the ban is for, but I saw it when I posted of course, but I can't even go back to check what the message was, just from my memory.

I don't get it. 2 out of the 3 pictures is of White women and all of them look the same. Where is this "indigenous fetishization?"

Germano-Bolchevism was a common term used in the US and UK to refer to the Russian revolution, that is before Judeo-Bolchevism took its place

Some of the most downright spiteful and rotten people I have ever met were Canadians. I dont know maybe always being the anglo country in america's shadow messes with your head.

>>2289727
All these leftists when the contradictions of imperialism are collapsing it on itself. Leftists whose movements have achieved little to nothing on the global scale since the fall of the USSR. Arguing about who has the best takes and the correct-est opinion while global liberalism collapses around them.

And the joke is the "campism" or "anti-campism" of the uninvolved. Whatever happens, you will get no say in it.

oh, good lord. is this a man who had a sex change, and then wants to be with women, a woman who did a sex change but wants to be with women, but because born man, it's still considered lesbianism, or is it a person indistinctively whether they changed their sex they identify themselves as woman who loves women?

youll never catch the average man rubbing one out in public, but hella girls spiritually masturbate to smut all the time
so many girls read smut it’s ridiculous. when i was a kid my mom used to read fifty shades of gray in the living room. when i was in high school girls brought “not officially smut but the female equivalent of a wish fulfillment romcom anime for nerds” to lit class. if a girl tells you shes into books or reads, guarantee most of it is smut or borderline smut.

4chan shouldn't be used in current year, 8chan came about for a reason.

>>2290673
Hasn't 8chan just been a Qanon only website pretty much since 8ch went down?

>>2290677
Yeah, but it used to be good and this board spawned out of it.

Yupp, still is. Haven't looked at it in a few years probably. Looks like 90% of the PPH is from the Qanon board.

>>2290679
Yeah I know, I've been here since 2016. What a wild decade of shitposting it's been.

>>2290679
>used to be good
But I wouldn't say that LMAO. The only good boards were /leftypol/ and /leftpol/. Everything else was just the worst parts of 4chan made worse.

>>2290687
Politically, the site was mostly retards but they had more interesting discussions and were funnier generally than 4chan, I don't know it's a complicated thing.

>Politically, the site was mostly retards but they had more interesting discussions and were funnier generally than 4chan, I don't know it's a complicated thing.
Yeah I never really used any of the other boards. I'm not an oldschool channer either so I never really used any of the other boards on 4chan besides /pol/. I was aware of 4chan back in the day, but I glanced at it a few times, and was like this shit is retarded and not for me. I only used messageboards back in the 00s and early 10s. Then in 2016 I guess I got interested in politics for whatever reason, I kind of gradually became more interested in it in Obama's term. I turned 18 in 2008 and I was mostly concerned with career/hobby related stuff, and that's pretty much the only messageboards I posted on were dedicated to those interests. So start becoming more politically concerned maybe in Obama's second term, but there wasn't much going on politically besides the first wave of BLM. Then 2016 hits and there is the Bernie wave so I got behind that. I first started on reddit, which I also never posted on before 2016, doing some anti-Hillary stuff. I even had one of my posts in /r/news or /r/politics hit the front page, but then they stopped allowing you to make submissions with titles quotes from the article, I think I was probably a part of that lol. One of my popular posts, I quoted from the article Bill Clinton saying "you know sometimes I wish that Hillary wasn't my wife." lol. Also they had like some thing where you can make text submission posts on Fridays or something and I did a write up of Hillary's involvement with the Gaddafi/Libya intervention thing. So then there was all this MAGApede shit that was big even on reddit, so I went to 4/pol/ because of that, then I found 8/pol/ through 4/pol/ and /leftypol/ from there and I've been posting on here regularly to semi-regularly ever since.

But anyways, long-story short, I don't really have the background most of you have being longtime 4chan users being involved in the like 50 boards on that website. Learning "chan culture" was kind of daunting at first, it seems that it has lessened a lot since then actually. So since I've been posting on 4chan I mostly only browse or post occasionally on /pol/ or /tv/. Occasionally looked at /m/. I guess I've glanced at /r9k/ a few times, but not much at all, I think I quickly got my fill every time I've looked, haven't looked at it in years. Seriously don't remember looking at any of the boards on 8ch besides /pol/, /leftypol/, and /leftpol/. I didn't even look at 8/pol/ that much, it quickly gave me a headache. It was like 4/pol/ but the moderators were actually dedicated to some alt-right mission so they always had like 8 stickies at a time. It was very directed.

>>2290704
It's crazy how bad most people age.

>>2290719
I haven't used reddit at all since back in 2016 either pretty much, except when I ask some technical question on one of the subreddits dedicated to that, since it became so damned: astro-turfed, brigaded, and compromised moderation. I also never really used twitter, so this website is like the only social media I ever post on really.

I hope every poster on that sub gets hate crimed with a parking ticket


Why do online conservative figures identify with national socialists so heavily? Doesn't seem like a particularly good strategy.

>>2291041
This is no different than /pol/ ragebait. You are disseminating a form of Zionist propaganda that advances Zionists interest by validating antisemitic tropes.

>>2291062
Wild how Jews went from the most persecuted people on the planet to the people that want to be the most opressed

<African youtubers are DPRK pilled
Damn, glad the kids are alright.

>>2291256
Call it genpol but I consider the widespread chuddening of the first world coinciding with the rise of China and Africa to not be a coincidence. As weak men cower and hide in the past, strong men look to the future. While America shits out chuds like Vance as representatives of the "new generation" the developing world sees an opportunity.

>>2290288
and she is silly for it? it's just art man

>>2291296
There is no chuddening in america. You are a deranged liberal. Bush was bigger chud so we see antichuddening in long term trend.

>>2291303
has there ever been a non-retarded post from a tor poster?

>>2291298
>what's the problem with misogyny? she is just being silly
average isgeer

>>2291307
i'm waiting for the misogyny to be found, because if you showed that to random women, i doubt they'd find it misogynistic, grotesque? sure, but i doubt misogynistic would come up amongst them

>>2291303
you are vermin

>>2291307
If you don't have a vagina you aren't allowed to dictate what is misogyny or not. Shut up retard.
