A thread focused on discussing the parasocial relationships cultivated by the Almighty Algorithm to generate profit off of our atomization and society's commodification of petty internet drama.
Brace through the hyper-real lacanian void together with the Leftypol Twitter account:

If you look at it another way, "til death do us part" is another way to say that you can die for breaking your vows. "On promise of death."

why do pop communist like second thought get so many more views than an actual intrllectual like paul cockshott who can barely get a few thousand views?
How does he not get discouraged.
He shoukd be giving an interview in front of a crowd.

As a friend likes to say, some creators have more "rizz" than others. Cockshott is an autistic boring mf and his video quality is absolute garbage.

Why did you feel the need to make a new thread for this?

Damn it ChatGPT. Usually if I say explain: It doesn't assume I wrote it. I mean, that's not what I meant at all I think their is beauty in honor and dignity. I mean doesn't the stupid Game of Thrones shit kinda get you with the stupid passion these fuckers have about their liege? It's nice if you would have the same noble feelings about a voluntary commitment you entered into.

>>2240654
After taking a tour of other chans (including this one), none are especially interesting. hiro needs to up his game, other boards have nicer software, and their mods are less… persnickety. An unscientific sampling of other refugees suggests we will basically all go back home.

Yeah these boards are rather dead. TBH 4chan can be pretty dead too but at least I can satisfy my thirst for interaction usually.

For the best.

>>2240944
leftypol would come up in discussions occasionally on /pol/ so its not like this place is unknown to the user base. I've swung by here in the past.

>>2240938
If halfchan is a fed hub, 8cuck (especially nu-8cuck) is flat out fed HQ. Once they signed that deal back in the day when it first went down, there zero possibility that every single post on that site isn't being logged away with ip's noted and that a quarter the user base isn't just pure psyop.

Here is the latest numbers for you.

>>2240957
Whenever I find someone saying something reasonable on 4chan on any board I tell them to GTFO and go back to /leftypol/🤭

>>2240954

Good sir, I am genuinely jealous of and impressed by your contribution to the art of meme.

>>2240954 me
<The event saw "leftypol" mentioned more than 80,000 times on /pol/ (shown below) and produced more than a thousand shitposts made by raiding /pol/ posters on Bunkerchan, mostly consisting of spam.
This is completely wrong btw. I took that screenshot very early on during "the event" all those 80k posts had nothing to do with the meme.

>>2240961
Thank you. I try to do what I do without regards to agreement even and certainly not gratitude, but I certainly appreciate it.

Being someone that was formerly an anarchist that got into Marxism by reading more Marx over time, people like this are what almost made me turn into a succdem.

>>2240982
someone in town believes that measuring things is colonialism, which me and a local anarchist actually had a laugh at yesterday. so luckily it's far from every anarchist
>you are just a few steps away from becoming gender critical fash
lmao

>>2240931
Ned was 100% correct to do so. The white wallcucks weren't a threat to anyone and got BTFO in a single battle. The Iron Throne was always more important than those ice losers.

Despook yourself faggot

Listen, this comment of mine isn't supposed to be anti-philosophy, but why the fuck is Zizek allowed to rant about quantum physics when is not even capable of providing proper footnotes for his historical anecdotes in his books?

>you know, many of my friends tell me…
>actually I think the opposite is true
>this reminds of a scene from kung fu panda which also weirdly reflects the politburo meeting of the CPSU in 1936, let me explain

>>2241412
>but why the fuck is Zizek allowed to rant about quantum physics when is not even capable of providing proper footnotes for his historical anecdotes in his books?
he shouldn't, but the word quantum became tecnobabble in modern day equal to mystical or magical.

>>2240738
I think they just scattered away

I know it is still a bit too soon, but I am surprised by how little clout the Soytards actually got from this. Then again I don't really go to anywhere chan-related outside of 4chan and here myself so eh

>>2241015
we're back

>>2241565
I'm sad they didn't delete /pol/ when they had the chance.
They also didn't update the site at all so uh. What the fuck were they doing for a week?
