I'm predicting that we will see a large portion of "Gamergaters" turn to liberalism in the coming months. They have never had any significant political politics beyond "more sexy women in video games" and some vague notions of anti-censorship and libertarianism. Whatever relationship they may have had with mainstream and dissident rightist movements is coming to an end, as the only thing they built their movement on is going to be further censored and removed. I can see them turning into Agent Kochinski and hasan types. That said, a smaller portion will probably end up following a dissident rightist path like Sargon, whose apparently become a Socialist, even posted about how Lenin had some good Ideas
20 years ago, a large section of young men while not necessarily left leaning, were at least "anti-conservative", because the conservatives were "culturally inhibiting" fun. Like the following issues were strongly conservative coded:
>Anti-video games
>Anti-Rock and Rap
>Anti-swearing
>Anti-Raunch
>Anti-Marijuana
WWE used to have a heel faction called "right to censor" - They were a strongly conservative coded group (a parody of the parents television council) who complained that wrestling was too improper and removed the flaming tables and shit. Obviously, they were massively booed, and everyone in the audience knew that we hated the organization they parodied.
The left was the side of GTA, porn, lighting a blunt, etc, etc.
Around the 2010's the roles in many people's eyes were completely reversed. The left is the side of "SJWs", of micro aggressions, of language policing, of checking your privilege, of Priuses and the guys who wanted scantily clad women in movies who hated the moralistic Right now hated the left, that's really when the Manosphere took off as well, but that group never had coherent politics beyond posturing as libertarians ("we like conservatism but also fast-food and drugs")
>>615082this af, a sizeable contingent of young guys just face there animosity against who ever they seen as getting in the way of their fun. Jesus freaks and activists both tell them its time to stop the party for various reasons they don't wanna hear that shit. Two reasons I've seen for this include the political apathy common to most americans many of whom cannot imagine politics,political actors and political orgs as habing any possibility to promote positive change as well as sheltered "middle class" firsties ignoring the problems of the cuz they can. Some fratbro whose gonna work at his dads chevrolet dealership doesn't get worried about healthcare, climate change, police brutality, union busting and million other things cuz that shit does not negatively effect his day to day life. Activists just look like yappers and tryhards to them since they don't have to deal with bullshit the rest of us do. anecdotally speaking apathy is inversely correlated with income while the "DO NOT POP MY BUBBLE" mindset is more prevalent the more money someones family has.
I suppose a counterarguement to this is that only petty boug and labor aristocrats can genuinely get pressed abt 'LE BIDEO GAME IS WOKE!?!?!! and LE BOVIE IS EBIL SATANIC MINDCONTROL!?!?!?! since pop culture they don't like is somehow a more serious issue than paying the bills
>>616677These retards don't realize they've only aided in creating an environment not for themselves(the gamers and the nerds) but for the yuppies, Traditionalists and the Dissident Rightists, all of whom, despite their vast differences, will embrace their own aesthetics and moralism that's going to leave these people behind. These losers will literally come crawling to the liberals and it's going to be so pathetic.
You'd have to be a retard to think the people in the first picture care about the people in the second picture. The great irony has always been that Gamergaters have always had more in common with the 'SJWs' they claimed to hate than with anyone else.
>>618170>>618267People get into that kind of thing for the same reason they join cults; they’re desperately lonely, and will take literally any opportunity to be part of something.
I’m willing to bet the bulk of the people in these communities don’t actually care about right-wing ideology. They’re mostly just lonely teens looking for friendship and a sense of identity and being able to say “I am a groyper I watch Nick Fuentes hate Jews and hang out with others who do the same” is powerful when you’re in that position.
I say this partially because I myself was in a similar position as a teen, with no real friends and no real sense of how I fit into the world. Discovering 4chan gave me the illusion of both; I felt like I had a group of people I could talk to and who would listen to me, and a set of expectations I was supposed to fulfill (“lurk moar newfag”). I didn’t actually care about 90% of the things I talked about on that site, it just felt good to speak and be heard.
>>618316>>618319I bet that most of those kind of on those kind of sites are older than you think. People like to assume only teens are involved in that faux pas but reality is, teens are t as big a majority as you think on there.
Its more failed adults on there.
KiwiFarms, incel.is, 4chan is mainly post pubescent failures who already have part time jobs and somewhat decent pay but they feel like the world owes them something. They constantly blame the youth for the cultural decay and express hebegynophilic tendencies
>>618319The black shartteen I think is a genuine self-hating guy.
I can confirm because I felt that way in my elementary school years to a small degree.
He does have a point about post boomer black American culture being all about bullshit.
I mean look at how run down a lot of black neighborhoods are. And believe it or not, they're not really poor
Most black households have toys and clothes and jewelry out of the wazzoo. They also have snazzy cars
Yet they cannot find money to pay the bills.
>>618267It's another case of failed adults blaming kids for everything wrong in society.
It's ironic that most of the slop they complain about was the result of adults hijacking it, not kids.
Also ironically, kids were part of the "old web" as well. In fact, they were the previous generation of kids who were pandered to and they're now butthurt that they're no longer young and hip.
>>618737Alot of these imageboard users are really misopediac.
Yet, they're extremely fond of their own childhood media.
They all talk about wanting to relive their childhood yet they get pissy seeing kids living their own childhood.
The whole ,"Internet was made for adults" is a typical weak copiun. Long before cell phones, kids were online and making their own spaces. There were even kids games online.
MiniClip
Yahooligans
New grounds
AndKon
And let's not forget offline computer game discs.
Especially the educational ones.
But you see, theyre gonna try to rebut me.
They do this when discussing women or ethnic minorities.
I'm very serious when I say that politics is influenced by peoples clinging to their childhood experiences.
I haven't yet met a fellow adult who doesn't base their own identity on their childhood experiences.
Imageboard users are divorced from adulthood in terms of psyche. They act like the world owes them something for losing their spark of youth.
>>617860>>617864Critiquing capitalism a failure isn't a high bar; the current economic conditions make its flaws obvious to everyone. Even retards like Nick
>>620176 can recognize its issues
>>622026Hetero males all hate us and want our genocide
The only solution is lgbt no go zones where straight men are barred at
gunpoint, women of all sexuality should be allowed tho
>>622731The pendulum's only gonna turn around if the rightoids get high on their own supply and go for the contraception bans and shit too early and openly. At least in America they seem to be pandering to their base more carefully than that
But if it does happen the left needs to stop associating with retards who are afraid of sexy cartoon bodies
>>622736What
>>622747 said, while I've seen TERFs target Trans people, Now go after gay men, they seem to have created a narrative that gay men are just as responsible for the mistreatment of women. They even argue that gay men shouldn't be allowed near children.
https://thecritic.co.uk/the-love-that-cant-be-erased/ >>623571I found dan olson's video about AVGN to be pretty bad but also incredibly funny
James Rolfe continues mind breaking desperate new-media strivers by being in a position that they wish they were in, while being a normal, non-neurotic, average man, and then simply walking away from the youtube hustle to be with his family
at least dan olson has enough self awareness to realize this, but still maybe don't make a video about how you were annoyed and insecure that the most influential and beloved "internet filmmaker" doesn't know anything about film theory
>>623612hm, okay, you changed my mind on this.
still, a bit late for him to be having a mid life crisis
but I guess the undignified nature of it is what's interesting about it
>>623535In real time, we're seeing breadtube videos being eclipsed bu 'Retrospectives', Icebergs or long-form videos that summarize and explain the history or production of entire franchises. For example, I remember Thorgi's Street Fighter Retrospectives far more vividly than any breadtube video I've watched. These long-form videos are often consumed while people, myself included, are doing other things, whether at work or playing a game, so the time investment doesn’t feel like an issue. They’re used more like background noise, similar to listening to the radio. Plus, regardless of whether you're familiar with the subject or not, these deep dives tend to be far more engaging than something like 'Why X random children's Movie is Marxist.'
>>617850The funniest thing about Carl of Swindon is that he chose this image for himself. It had originally been attributed to Sargon, but is now believed to be a bust of his grandson Naram-sin.
The Naram-sin that would, in the process of re-subjugating Sumeria, he would sack the temple of Enlil, King of the Gods, and declare himself a living God granted victory by his own divine power. In subsequent Mesopotamian mythology, this angered Enlil who cursed the land so that the Akkadian Empire would fall after Naram-sin's death (and the city of Akkad has still never been found) and Mesopotamia would be fated to never form a long-lasting kingdom of its own, doomed to forever be controlled by foreign empires.
>>617877>>617951By 2019-2021 ish he was already on podcasts or something literally screaming from the top of his lungs about how we need to force white women to start having more babies whether they like or not or else the UK will be overrun by immigrants. He's dropped the classical liberal bullshit a long time ago already. Even before this was already getting praise at EDL rallies
>The trouble with genuine Fascism is that they realize (or are forced to realize) the flaws of capitalism, but they never have any sufficient understanding of how to dismantle it. They apply a brutish, caveman logic.You're right about this
But we're far gone from the benefit of doubt state
>are you really gonna tell me these people were Fascist?The actual fascists were also weird looking nerds too
>>617999You're doing the 2017 stuff here, "you can't just call everyone fascist!" and look where are now, we STILL can't call people fascists?
Treating these people like babies was a mistake
>>617850I think he was always just pretending to be retarded
Like when I watched his videos, it just felt like "man this is kinda racist, or maybe I'm just a PC libtard nancy? He denies he's racist, why shouldn't I believe him?"
Scroll down and the comments were celtic cross 1488 pfp's
>>616979https://archive.is/7o2ndthat first pic article reads like something from the Bush era.
You're right, this ain't revenge of the nerds, its revenge of the jocks. Honestly at first I thought that pic was from the 1980s or something based on how it looks. lol.
The republicans haven't really changed, they're still the party of upper middle class reaganite WASPs.
>>616786Gatekeeping leftism is the stupidest concept ever
However ex-rightoids should feel shame and embarrassment if they ever feel regret, just turn their heads down and no one remembers their past
>>628849>>616979Considering hotwheels went from writing on stormfront to saying
actually /leftypol/ was always the best board, maybe you're right
>The republicans haven't really changed, they're still the party of upper middle class reaganite WASPs.The 2000's was a decade of embarrassment after the disaster of the Bush era, and the humiliation ritual they were deservedly put through in the media during and the Obama administration.
The 2010's however was a huge image rehabilitation and PR campaign to make the right look cool, that they're actually the chill cool guys who just want play games. That they're no longer the hysterical moral police who see satanism in every new thing kids like, want to ban everything too violent and too slutty, no longer care about shoving prayers and creationism in school, and it's the SJW's or whatever that are hysterical and want to police everything. They basically tried to advertise a big party flip without ever saying out loud. This continued with "democrats are actually the real racists" and even "the real homophobes" and so on.
Some of them still try to push this, even they're seeing the GOP return back to its old social politics of calling everything Satanic and degenerate, every fucking Super Bowl or Olympics, hating gay marriage, abortion, etc. They never changed, it was always a front.
The DNC is obviously partly at fault here. They didn't even attempt to appear anti-war, which was their role in the 00's. While the GOP loves lying and knows they just have to say they're anti-war and the public won't remember them either bombing even more people than Obama, having the same politics on Israel as Biden, or wanting to bomb Mexico. And of course attacking republicans on economics could never be a move, because they both have the same donors.
This discussion reminds me of going to
wizchan but the moderation was obviously hard right and so was the userbase
being a virgin loser was their personality so everything not for them was for "chads", ironic after seeing this comparison
>>616979politically they're aligning with the people in the first pic
>>629230For these users, their struggles clear beyond just their appearance. Sure, they might not be the most best looking guys, but it likely stems from deeper psychological issues, and many of them seem unwilling to put themselves out there. I’ve been in a situation where I hooked up with a chick who wasn’t good looking, she wasn’t thick, she wasn’t a MILF and there was no coping, she was kinda ugly and I’m not exactly the best-looking guy either but I got laid. The irony, as you mentioned is that those guys want to be in spaces dominated by attractive Chads and Staceys, who tend to lean more RW, In my experience, though, left-wing and liberal spaces are generally more forgiving when it comes to appearances
>>636526I'll laugh when they all get fucking burned. Not because le heckin' fictional girls in hentai need to be saved from some neckbeard's basement but because they were stupid enough to think the Right wouldn't gladly dispose of them when the time came. They took K-ON from me and I will never forgive them for this.
>>637318This. Fuck Texas and its "justice" system.
>>638508>anime lolisNo thanks.
>anime MILFsAw yes, sir!
>>641212Liberal as in Democrats?
Or as in progressives?
Or as in the political system of liberalism?
>>615082Yep and through IDpol the left saw that and said "great idea, we'll start moralfagging too".
I have always been left since before I know the words "economic theory" because the right wanted to stop me doing things and I'm pro personal freedom. Now I'm left economically but call myself an economically socialist social libertarian because I don't want to be linked with the moralfag left.
>>624517This reminded me of a comment section on a Meatcanyon video where the joke involved a dad selling his kid into slavery. Some people thought the joke was a bit too dark, leading to arguments about offence. To me, this is a good example of the apparent dichotomy, the offence is based on a morality that most conservatives of any generation would say is disgusting, but if you were an edgy, immature guy, you might find the shock factor alone funny and defend it, this type of guy probably would have claimed to be conservative or rw this past decade or so, but what if Trump or more likely his RW nutjob ally's, ban this type of content, what would he be then?
>>624517There's something Inherently gay about Comedians
Regardless of race or political leanings, they are all the same kind of people, always physically ugly, they often dress up as women, they do a lot of impersonations of women and gay men for "humour" and talk about dicks and how much they hate their wives or girlfriends, these are all just very homosexual male traits.
>>661859>DUDE i just heckin LOVE the hustle and bustle of the twitter screencap threads, it’s so DYNAMIC and makes me feel like i’m in one of my favourite slop /pol/ threads. you should totally come on down to my studio apartment, it’s got twitter post screenshots on the walls and 50 square feet of leftist twitter bait plastered on the ceilings! we can crack open a cum jar or three and get crazy watching faggot OPs mother on pornhub! and dude, dude, DUDE, we have GOTTA go down to the basement- listen here, right, it’s a basement where us fags who do goyslop twittter threads can go DRINK cum. BUT!!!! it’s also a botfarm like when we were manchildren, so we can spam rulebreaking dogshit via vpns, without smart anons pointing us out. i’m a fuckin faggot man, i’m gonna SLAM this cum jar and pop open another one!!! >>665210Actually, you'd be surprised at how many of the straight laced trade right are often provocateurs.
>>633817I think it's dumb to have Bibles being mandatory reading in schools. Like, we already have church for that.
Why not allow mandatory reading of the Quran then?
>>659649This. And then they always whine about how everything is getting too "faggy" for them.
>>676936Pretty much.
Do you think the people who spammed pic related will now became leftists now that every CEO sided with Trump and their ideology is in the white house and controlling the empire and the richest man in the world agrees with them?
The answer is no. First of all it was always a stupid meme, these guys think walmart is pro union or some shit. But we know consistency never matters to them. Just repeat shit ad naseum in a snarky fashion until it sticks.
