No.286216
The reason this chan is comfy is, first and foremost, because leftypol was created about… 8 years ago (?) by former /pol/ users. They were already somewhat immersed in imageboard culture, and many of them started out as the type of imageboard user who already hated /pol/ within a year or two of its creation. They were already somewhat uninterested in hating minorities, mainly forcusing on imageboards for fun, for hobbies, and for free speech without being surrounded by moralists and heavy-handed right-wing moderation. As a result, this imageboard's cultural development was primarily directed by imageboard oldfags. And that's what r/The_Donald, as well as liberal redditors or twitter users usually fail to understand.

>>286216>free speech without being surrounded by moralists and heavy-handed right-wing moderation. So much for that with all the no-fun-allowed pseudmoralist reactionary-traditionalist tankies around it just feels like I'm on /pol/ and forget where I am sometimes.

Unrelated note, what's your take on rape? On the one hand it makes people sad and stuff, but on the other hand people enjoy it and it makes them happy, so you can't really say it's one thing or the other thing.

>>286211I'm not apolitical, but I engage with politics with the idea that good politics is usually simpler than bad politics, a utopia is one that minimizes politics as fairness has been achieved sustainably and efficiently. This has led me towards being an anarchist, since under hierarchy more politics is happening than without hierarchy, a community effort solution to a problem bureaucracy is unwilling to solve is usually better than a bureaucratic solution anyway, ect…

I'm political because I love tribalism, I want politics to become like watching a football match and seeing the other hooligans of the other team and going to them with your hooligans of your team and killing them
No.289990
"apolitical", "centrist", "moderate", "I'm neither", "politics isn't left-right vgh" all means right-wing
People who say that always fucking end up being retards who spout the same tired conservative talking points with absolutely no thought put into them, they're lowest autism score trying to be the highest iq, hence tim pool types, because that's what the status qou is
I'm not calling you that, though. The fact that you're on here means that you lean way more left than the typical person or imageboard goer. You just won't admit it, or don't realize it. Grab some random fuck from 4chan and throw them here and they'll spontaneously combust in the first second because they've been brainwashed to view anything remotely socialist as evil(jewish), and if that's not it, it'll be from "racism is bad", it'll get them into a defensive mode
For various reasons

>>286601The first stirner memes were straight from /lit/ before getting popularized on /leftypol/, there was a clear and obvious overlap
But /lit/ is far from left leaning nowadays
>also /leftypol/ predates /his/ by a few yearsYeah, I remember it being made while I was still on 8chan's /his/. Again another board that's just a /pol/ colony now
