Could you please go back to X - The Everything App xir
>>2918059
How so? Lmao. I don't think it is particularly relevant anymore despite Trump Term 2. I just can't imagine "chan culture" IRL.
>Insert these are good memes.
If you "chan culture" IRL you are asking to be got by anyone lol.
>>2918042We have a containment thread for schizos, USAPOL, but jannies are not awake and online until afternoon GMT, usually, unfortunately.
>>2918060>2026still the only thing /pol/ has is le frog.
Yes 4/pol/ and lefty/pol/ are dead boards, but where isn't dead?
>>2918064
Why not just make your own site?
>our comrade's infrastructure.
Don't imply Autistici/Inventati are your comrades, Juchecultschizo, we both know that is not true.
>>2918073
>The exact circle I stand in,
<t. some meth head reactionary yankee whos wrecked his brain so hard he can't even fake it to /leftypol/ of all places.
Come on.
Who wants to be Jucheschizo is one of those 30 year olds who screeches about sex scenes in HBO shows
>>2918079
>provide evidence for your claim
<REEEEEE REEEEE YOU ARE FEDS REEEEE
yeah bro you’re totally being honest
>>2918070One of my relatives took a vote in class for the national anthem and they voted for America The Beautiful. I agree with this decision.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_the_BeautifulO beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
>>2918083
>go into a chatroom
>start a fight over lolicon anime
>somehow this is proof of the site being run by a Zionist child trafficking ring
>>2918087
Motherfucker when? You’ve been bragging that you’re gonna take down the site for months over screenshots of one guy being dumb in a chatroom.
>>2918096
The message of America The Beautiful is better than The Star Spangled Banner which is just a war song.
>O beautiful for glory-tale
>Of liberating strife,
>When valiantly for man's avail
>Men lavished precious life.
>America! America!
>May God thy gold refine
>Till all success be nobleness,
>And every gain divine.
<O beautiful for heroes proved
<In liberating strife,
<Who more than self their country loved
<And mercy more than life!
<America! America!
<May God thy gold refine,
<Till all success be nobleness,
<And every gain divine!
I like both versions. I think it's a 'beautiful' song and speaks to the ideals of America.
>>2918098
>im gonna take the site down
<okay do it
>uhhh ACTUALLY im epic trolling to make the whole world know my schizo bullshit is real

>>2918548Badempanada is just another influencer pseud who says shit for attention. He’s no better than Destiny or Asmongold or Contrapoints or a thousand other grifters. Anyone who gets their opinion from YouTubers needs to grow up
>>2918616on this, he's right though
>>2918627not really. that has no bearing on the point he made about USians majority investment, participation, and/or indifference to the imposition of the imperialism that maintains their
relative (yes yes i know your rent is very high and you don´t like your job) privilege in the global economy. which is objectively true in itself.
>>2918330the real ones all stopped playing at least 10 years ago
