I literally never browse imageboards, my friend who is significantly more chronically online than me (we spend the same amount of time online but he just does more random browsing) introduced me to these, why is it every single image board i come across seems radicalized? e.g. nazi trans flags / white power flags etc
obviously my first site was 4 chan, i posted ~3 times on the lgbt board & made like 2 friends, stopped talking to them shortly after, then my friend showed me soyjak party, then recently showed me end chan & this.
i'm a left leaning person, considered a moderate liberal and it seems like i dont even have a place here.
im genuinely curious. i dont know the culture here and it seems like i dont fit in because everyone seems significantly more extreme than me.
am i socially inept? or am i not socially inept enough to fit in here? i dont really fit in anywhere on the internet it seems.
97 posts and 8 image replies omitted.>>750384>looksmax.org oh you're more fucked than any of us here LMAO
>>750384The shit looksmax users are posting have been posted by misc and /fit/ a decade before, OP. Theres literally no difference between social media platforms.
>>749842>why is every image board radicalized? a "radical" looks at the "root cause" to explain contradictions: Marxists talk about class relations and modes of production, feminists talk about gender, racialists talk about ethnic strife, disability thinkers talk about ableism and eugenics etc
> it seems like i dont even have a place herehave you tried learning basic historical materialism 101? watch some Michael Parenti video clips, bonus points for Kwame Ture
>>750258> a few cheap laughs aren't worth the cost of completely forgetting how to actually hold a conversation online, how to interact under a username where you can't just abandon points when you don't like them anymoreAbolition of the social capital commodity form
>>750340Didn't the "duh" help you think it was irony?
>>750334>you exist to preserve capitalism inane and underthought: the random individual supporters of liberalism do little to support actually-existing liberalism. the great thing about a system is that it exists without much regard for "support" as such.
imagine you are in prison: what does it matter if you support or oppose your jailors? you are in prison. the pro-jailor prisoners are no more responsible for this fact than the anti-jailor prisoners.
>>750378this site peaked when it had a handful of rightists in a pen to fight + a chunk of libs and socdems to argue current events with.
that this ultimately failed and lead to the current boring circlejerk is a solid case for starting again with a site full of libs and socdems with a chunk of communists to argue current events with.
>>750402i used to think in terms of abolition of social capital but until that's happening, better to build it and to share it than to pretend it's not a factor.
on the margin, the best thing i can do in the world is find artists with low engagement and tell them that i like their work. if you look at the single most effective action i can take to improve how people feel, it's that.
>>750388i barely post on it i just browse it if i wanna do research on how to fix insecurities i have with my face lmao i dont think im worse off than anyone here because if i was i would be easily able to interact with people.
just because i browse a website once a month doesnt mean i share the opinions. the only person i converse with from there is afroheadluke who is a troll and purely satirical lol im not brainrotted by it i just hyperfixate on my looks because i grew up ugly and even though im considered maybe average or above now i still wish i could look better.
101
Go to 4cuck, it's mostly liberals and centre-leftists now, /pol/ leakage has been mostly patched and that containment chamber will probably be shutdown in a couple years.
>>750501Can I post there "I'm trans" without getting a response like "kys transhumanist you will never be…"?
>>750510All the popular boards are still right leaning, doe.
>>750510No, but for trolling purposes that could actually be a boon.
>>7505014cuck just follows the ideology of whatever is unpopular at the moment it was once left leaning in its early days but as the culture shifted so did their views it seems like its happening again
>>750501Rapeape runs the site and actively promotes /pol/shit, this will never happen
>>750501I recently went to /g/ for the first time in years to get a small issue solved and every post was a paranoid screed about how Linux has been captured by CIA transhumanists or some shit
>>750547>whatever is unpopularVice versa. All those "anti-woke" videos on YT were a literal reflection of what was being pushed on 4chan.
Or do you think imageboards are some kind of elite place, out of the reach of political bots? Boards are literally the perfect place for propaganda, with their anonymity.
>>750586imageboards are probably the easiest for bots since you don't need a login tbqh
>>750510>>750501Apologies for repeated shameless self-shilling, but:
>>750273>>750571>Rapeape runs the site and actively promotes /pol/shitNo idea if it's true but I recently heard a rumor that RapeApe is apparently half-hispanic or something. (Which would be the most unsurprising thing in the world. But, still.)
But yeah, anyone saying 4chan is mostly center-left is obviously insane. I would not be surprised if there are more leftists than liberals on 4chan. Either way, most boards are > 85% right-wing.
>>750586>Foreign Policy Research Institute>Alliance for Securing Democracy>Center For Cyber and Homeland SecurityNeck yourself glowie. Neck yourself right now.
>>750667>But yeah, anyone saying 4chan is mostly center-left is obviously insane. I would not be surprised if there are more leftists than liberals on 4chan.Are you saying there's leftist sympathies on 4chan?
Seriously?
With the amount of calling anything they don't like as "leftist"?
The thing about imageboards is that they're the biggest obnoxious moralists in the world despite being complete antisocial losers.
They get into bigger ragefits over obscure cartoons than normies do.
>>750511>>750547>>750571>>750573>>753716Their main boogeyman for the past three years has been Soyjak party, not the lefty transhumanist CIA.
>>753994>they're the biggest obnoxious moralists in the world despite being complete antisocial losersoh okay, so if you're a pro-social moralist it's okay then, right?
>>753994>They get into bigger ragefits over obscure cartoons than normies do.the preconception that
literal autists wouldn't get up in arms over cartoons is hilarious
>>754488These people aren't literal artists though.
They're just sociodivergent.
>>754487No. Moralism is moralism, regardless if it's socialist or not.
>>754499>>754499OP of both posts here
autist as used in my post and more broadly across imageboards is more of an umbrella term for "sociodivergent" individuals
>>then you're just making up a guy to get upset at, aren't you? if it doesn't matter if this imagined individual is anti-social or pro-social? or even an imageboard user at all? seems a lot like pre-existing grievances that have little to do with chan-lites tbh
>>754487It's less schizophrenic.
An employed person complaining about lazy immigrants on welfare is much more internally coherent than a proud NEET doing the same.
A person with their life together judging weirdos is much more internally coherent than a loser freak judging others on Kiwifarms
And so on.
>>754518>An employed person complaining about lazy immigrants on welfare is much more internally coherent than a proud NEET doing the same. i;m employed and i dont give a shit
>>754544Same. I'm just starting out so I'm only working menial/minimum wage work, but I've got a lot more things on my mind than immigrants.
>>749941There's a board for liberals called "libpol" but it's dead AF aside from their live chat (yes, they have a live chat on the website)
I posted a thread 9 months ago or so and despite it being really low effort it's stayed at the top because there's only been like 3 posts since then.
I was told, ironically, that if I wanted to go to a left leaning image board just go here, as even if I'm not as radical as the average user, at least I'm not talking to myself.
>>754544>>754614The point isn't that working people should have such complaints, just that when they (wrongly) have them, they're just wrong, they're not also incoherent.
>>754753Idk even back then, people were "irony poisoned" and instead of "Internet poisoning" it was "television poisoning"
>>750290thats my opworm woooo!!!!!
cheering for you <3
OP there used to be a place called 420chan where cool people hung out but it's gone for now but they're trying to bring it back I heard
>>76079042chan.net
We're going for a revival? I suppose.This was originally supposed to showcase 420chan culture… The memes, bwh, bwd, bwn ya know.
We all miss 420chan. Godspeed Kirt, wherever you are.
>>7498447chan has no search, no catalogue
how do you use this libertarian and loli-infested shithole?
>>760830kirt was a junkie who beat his wife to death and couldnt manage a simple shitty board
>>760790it was a druggie infested shithole
nothing cool about that
when 420chan comes back, I will make sure that it dies again
but then again, the junkies will not be able to keep the shit running themselves after two weeks
(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) >>76089214 year old nazi larper turned stalinist after becoming slavaboo.
You think you took 420chan down? Lmao
>>749842>e.g. nazi trans flags / white power flags etc???
Not true by an inch!!! STOP LYING, EVERYONE ON IMAGEBOARDS ARE UNDER 10 LEVELS OF META-IRONY YOU DUMBASS SAFE-EDGY LIBTARD!!
>>760903>slavabooNo one slavsquats anymore. It's just forced coal used for gen alpha as a stereotype of East Europeans, just like how they go "kurwa haha so funny" when they see a pole
>>764393we do that to our hungarian friend.
>>764426Magyars and Poles are almost the same mentally
>>764439>>764444the Saying Kurwa And Bobr To a Latvian Award goes to…!
>>749842>every single image board i come across seems radicalized? Only most seething inducing post stay at top. Easy to post image/video propaganda. Anonymity.
Leave right now and be free from this place. You will thank me later.
