all the slop gets thrown in the crucible and truth comes out through a grueling process of unlegislated criticism - it's pretty much the exact opposite of a site like X or reddit because there are no updoots and there are no accounts to attach an identity.sites like reddit and x and tiktok and the vast majority of them filter the available content that shows up on your screen through algorithms based on your user history. as a result the content ends up not filtering towards truth and instead filtering towards the most engagements possible while on imageboards like /pol/ all one needs to do is click one button and they see ALL the available content on that board in the catalog at that moment with old threads constantly being pushed off the board.This is why there are only two effective methods to destroy imageboards from a hostile force1: Spam the board so much that the actual users lose interest in using the board in the first place.2: get the site shut down entirely (usually through spamming 'p with proxies and then reporting the site to the feds)But because 4chan is owned by the feds and has been for many years they can't take it downso that leaves them only option 1 and that is why you see the current state of the board
This unique position is also what makes /pol/ so powerful and why 4chan is upstream from all culture. Without names, without accounts, without upvotes, without genders, without social clout, /pol/ has users who post and those posts are then critiqued purely on their value; that value can be spiritual, factual, or just interesting to the userbase and then the most powerful (read: truthful) of those posts always spreads and breaks containment because there is no propaganda on earth that is more powerful than truth, especially self-evident truth.
4chan is for fagsyou are fags

>all the slop gets thrown in the crucible and truth comes out through a grueling process of unlegislated criticism not really, this place is defined more or less by confirmation bias and people adopting vague unfalsifiable claims as the central pillars of their world views to feed it. the idea that this place is some proving ground where only the best ideas rise to the top without any interference from moderation like on reddit or whatever is kind of laughable, the reality is that this board just churns out an overwhelming amount of dumb shit completely unregulated, and maybe if youre lucky you can find some good here and there, but much more likely, youre going to fixate on the huge amounts of slop and end up just basing your entire wold view on some infograph because of confirmation bias and end up digging yourself a nice hole and humiliating yourself
>>524809483/pol/ is always right, jeet
Trumps a fuckin kike*farts*
>>524809553was /pol/ is dead only way it's going to be saved is to take it away from Hiro and RapeApe they genuinely killed it Hiro is a lazy criminal and RapeApe is a natural born loser with a redditor IQ
>>524809483This site selects for which ideas appeal most to its users' interests, not for what is true.
>>524808619Anything coming from a weeb is like cherry blossoms against a windshield
>>524809697>selects for fuck no the same 30 morons make 90% of every threads every day if you browsed at any point in the last 3 years you seen the whole board every day it's always the exact same fucking threads made by the exact same fucking peoples
>>524809483/v/ really is the better board, where i can actually engage with my hobby and discuss it with other faggots
>>524809553right, which is why this board obsessively supported trump for years and went on non stop about how he was going to destroy the deepstate and rot out evil satanic pedophiles and whatever only to have him enact the most Jewish administration in history and defend satanic pedophiles i seem to recall at least half a decade or more where you couldn't even criticize him without getting called shareblue or lefty/pol/ and thats just the tip of the iceberg really, this place is very consistently wrong about almost everything, people here just have very selective memories, and god forbid, often simply refuse to acknowledge when they've been taken for a ride
>>524807618>filter the available content that shows up on your screen through algorithmscant even do a fucking image search on Google nowi had to use yandex to get a resultthey are ruining everything
>>524810072It's a meme, retard. This place isn't one person. If you cant see through the shilling from both sides that's your issue.
>>524810031eeh /v/ is honestly kinda shit for discussing videogames because its pretty much impossible to have a balanced discussion about anything because people will blow a games flaws dramatically out of proportion while refusing to even acknowledge its strengths even though i often find myself agreeing with the general conses that "x aspect of this game is bad!", most the time even, it becomes pretty much impossible to discuss anything because people become so hyper fixated on that thing that its the only thing that exists to them and no one actually wants to discuss anything else in depth
>>524810072I mean there were quite a few threads that >Trump is the fulfillment of some celestial biblical prophecy>Trump will make anime real>Trump was chosen by KEK>Trump will be god emperor of mankindalot of bullshitTrolls thought it was funnyAnd Troll hackers come here to work on their social engineering chops .Trolls get hooked up with Trump and now Trumps administration is all about trolling as some sort of global doctrineits quite amazing how 4chan made a huge joke and mockery out of american politics. SNL and national lampoons and co'edy central could only hope to do that.in hindsight turning your government into a twisted mockery kind of sucks and now pol is just being edgelords who condone their own oppression instead of trying to work together to do something about it.
>>524807618The dumpster-fire you are seeing that is our society is the decaying remains of a psyop. ALL of your good instincts are monetized and punished. The psyop ended with USAID. The boomers up to the millennials were created by a psyop. THAT is the society you exist in, a world where the psyop broke. The lie no-longer exists. You know what else? EVERYONE hates raising kids because doing it right takes a HUGE amount of work, women have to be conned into doing it and men have to be conned into being a taxpayer husband. Those easily conned brains of ours is what corporations use to convince women that they deserve lots of consumer-garbage they need RIGHT FRIGGING NOW and men that everyone DESERVES love and loyalty, which is a lie. Men are better at raising kids, but we REALLY don't want to do it. We'll go ahead and let women and schools mutilate and abuse children. Those kids abused and mutilated by women and schools are YOU, Gen-Z and everyone including you allowed it because FU@K YOU.EVERYONE IS LYING ABOUT BEING GOOD PEOPLE.YOU ARE SURROUNDED ON EVERY SIDE BY LYING OR DELUSIONAL MONSTERS AND THAT ALWAYS WAS THE TRUTH.THIS IS YOUR WORLD, GEN-Z! BUY SOCIETY SLOP!
>>524810272I agree with you for the most part. What im really getting at is that "politics" is something thats really out of reach or something i see as anathema and only "untouchable" types of people really do it.i can see how people on /v/ do geniunely love playing making and talking about vidya. Even the streamers that are /v/ personalities are more comfy than politics streamers.They also make memes. Perhaps pol should have a drawthread. it seems people hate posting on pol and hate politics and feel powerless to do anything. Im pretty sure theres active measures on here to keep pol from organizing or having meetups.
>>524810465We have to allow liberals to commit crime. Those poor people only want to mutilate young boys. They're only men, it's okay to manipulate, abuse and mutilate those boys.
>>524807618it used to be until bots and jeets shit up the place and now it's rare to have a genuine conversation
>>524807618>>524807853>and then the most powerful (read: truthful) of those posts always spreads and breaks containment because there is no propaganda on earth that is more powerful than truth, especially self-evident truth.True, like the fact you're a tranny avatarfag cancer. Pretty much an accepted fact that anime is dead and you're cancer.Really powerful indeed. And take into account that you retards are tranny circlejerk mods. You can freely keep shitting among yourselves pretending to be anons alongside zoomers, reddit and discord but everyone else knows you're a fucking shitposting pretending trannies and your gay fake spam threads and generals that you destroy and plague.I'll give you that, this line is on point.
>>524807618No, /pol/ is the dumbest place on the internet
>>524807853I recently rejoined X and I'm seeing shit throwaway memes I've posted here years ago being reposted regularly and getting thousands of likes on normies X accounts and it's pretty wild.Memes are powerful, even if you think it's just a dumb joke, to someone else it might be the funniest thing ever
