Am I the only one active at this moment? Is /bant/ fully dead? I hope someone gets on soon so we can at least pretend it's alive.

it do be like that
when i came here 2 years ago, i expected there to be 100-200 moderately active users, but i guess that's not really a thing anymore
if it reached that point, it would've been disrupted or colonized or migrated to a 'cord or something
can't just HAVE self-contained boards anymore..

it's still nice though

which anime?

vibing watching random stuff on youtube. This dude is actually crazy. He went full ninja mode. Enough brains to be a ninja, but not enough to think about what happens after. What happens when she wakes up with a dick in her? She is gonna scream and he gets caught. Like it's basic logic.

I feel like in a way the cirno threads are killing this board. Like there is over 30 ones on the board rn that get bumped killing solid threads.

I really doubt a normal person could stoop that low. There has to be an internal flaw that caused this somewhere deep inside of him. If you can get away with doing a crime then sure whatever, but if you're 100% gonna caught why try? Basic human reasoning has left the chat.

>I feel like in a way the cirno threads are killing this board. Like there is over 30 ones on the board rn that get bumped killing solid threads.
well i think what's more important is the pol slop, and shills directly on /bant/
those might die way faster than the cirno threads, but there's a very fast churn, and their creation/moving slides whatever happens to be at the back of the catalog at the time

cirno threads are annoying, but they effectively just reduce the catalog size from 100 to 70, and occasionally reshuffle the front page

I have been lingering around a little bit, but the board is pretty much dead to me, it doesn't help that it seems like there is a great elaborate filter that stops interesting topics or anything that's not usual, I really think the board filters things out.

It's not that much different from reddit, so there is like no great avenue to really talk to people on the internet except for like fucking discord, but it's not really the same as a messageboard.

I guess I just don't want to be filtered into fucking discord

I'm pretty he got more charges ontop of his existing. He really shouldn't be allowed to see the light of day, because this isn't his first rodeo.

>>23983215
>but people can get twisted, man, and these days there's often not a lot of guard rails against being twisted

I guess but how twisted do we allow before we start to guess if there is underlying issues. I can accept a normal person might like extreme things, but I can't accept a normal person would willing rape another when they will 100% get caught.

>well i think what's more important is the pol slop, and shills directly on /bant/

eh maybe, but good threads could get revived if there wasn't 30 slots taken. Soon as the cirno bots bump all their threads all the old threads get tossed in the void right after.

>cirno threads are annoying, but they effectively just reduce the catalog size from 100 to 70, and occasionally reshuffle the front page

I think you have to consider what they mean for bant also. They may be a sign of an underlying rot.

there's no filter just an army of retards that only post or reply to shitty threads.
this is actually a very fast board believe it or not.
pls don't go to discord its fucking cancer. try IRC or just browse more boards/sites

>I guess I just don't want to be filtered into fucking discord

small discords can be chill (they let you say the funny word). Big discords are cancer ngl. Biggest issue with discord is too many teens. I'm still young so my humor tends to be of a sexual nature, so I have to censor myself if someone below 18 joins a call I'm in. (I'm in a video game server, so this happens pretty often.)

oh 100%, i wasn't justifying any of the horrors done by twisted beings
i don't really know WHAT i was saying, but people do be getting twisted

when force becomes standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket, but the technocrat/glowie wins over the murderer, if that makes sense
when you can twist people into murderers, you become almost a meta-murderer, and if you're a 3rd party who wants a hospitable society, that is more of an obstacle than individual murderers are
if that makes sense...

but yeah it's important to protect yourself, be aware of subtle twisting, etc..
>I think you have to consider what they mean for bant also. They may be a sign of an underlying rot.
yeah maybe
the cirno threads and pol threads could both be seen as the decomposers of a dead board lol

>I think I understand what you are putting down. Total Intelligence Agency Victory?
they do seem to have quite an iron fist for the past several decades
there was a point where glowie force became cheaper and less risky than conventional military force to accomplish the same things, i think this should tell one most of what they need to know & it's the reason every well-off country has a CIA knockoff now
the hideous strength

i really consider the methods/techniques themselves to be the problem, the systematic reaping/sowing of "social tension" to different ends is something from another dimension, to me on the level of bio warfare
some sort of geneva convention restricting psyops would be good, but i don't see that happening in any real way...

i dunno what's gonna happen

If they did that I feel like we would have an internet equivalent of pmcs doing it then. I feel like that could be worse in a way.

Well when wars become unpopular and costly the war of the mind is the solution.

>i dunno what's gonna happen

Nothing, because nothing ever happens (jk, but we have no power anymore so it's all so pointless.)

i think it's more like we're in stasis, but if/when anything does happen, all your choices while you were in stasis will suddenly become deathly important
it's all the more reason to take care of yourself & not waste opportunities to get more security, the way i see it
"nothing matters, just do drugs" (i know that's not what you're saying) is a psyop in itself
>If they did that I feel like we would have an internet equivalent of pmcs doing it then. I feel like that could be worse in a way.

I wish there was an alternative to capitalism other than shitty communism. Cause what you stated was likely a cause of the market and the government working together. degeneracy starting organically then being prompted up by CIA. Once it got semi popular capitalism did it's thing and everyone was picking it up. Now there is whole stream sections cause of it. What I'm trying to say is if a capitalist can make money he will no matter the cost to his people.

>I remember there were all these teenagers and shit

I wouldn't have such a problem with them if they weren't gooners and brought up sexual subjects so much. Like bro go talk to a trust adult or your peers if you want to talk about sex.

I don't doubt that, but the only other solution would end you in jail 90% of the time.

eh if we're lucky the rich people will hit a massive divide and start a civil war to fight for power over the government.

well yeah, and in that sense you're right we have no control
but once it's no longer the case that you end up in jail, whether because of collapse or whatever, there's a BIG middleground
a guy who ran a fish farm in a rural area, ate healthy & worked out, will be better off than a guy who lived in an apartment, ate a lot of doordash food, worked some very specialized job, etc..
idk
>eh if we're lucky the rich people will hit a massive divide and start a civil war to fight for power over the government.
i think that would likely end in a pretty gay outcome & not be worth the bloodshed, but not sure
>>

>makes me wonder to what degree it was avoidable

Well if something is exploitable it's gonna get exploited. That is why we can't let predators near children or that ninja guy from early in this thread around women.

>but once it's no longer the case that you end up in jail, whether because of collapse or whatever, there's a BIG middleground

if there was a collapse and they didn't like your way of life they'd just fucking shoot you. If a government feels threatened it becomes more willing to lash out to hold power. Lets say we're lucky though. We get outside funding and can fight this oppression now what? Ideological opposed groups with a common enemy fighting each other and the enemy. If they're luck the original government will have such a weak hold that after enough of rebel bullshittery they are removed from power and the biggest faction comes to power. Naturally no one is gonna want to lay down arms and if there is a peace it will be fragile. Look at Syria rn.(of course syria wouldn't be a perfect 1 to 1)

>i think that would likely end in a pretty gay outcome & not be worth the bloodshed, but not sure

Well I don't really get a say cause they're gonna draft me or I might just be randomly killed by a rebel group if I don't join on their side. I feel strongly that if there was a happening if this kind I would be forced into the bloodshed whether I wanted to or not.

(I think my thoughts are becoming less thoughty and more going into schizoposting mode. i should go to bed soon)

i mean this isn't a rule of the universe though
you could theoretically shoot exploiters in the back of the head while new people are born & just do eugenics until it doesn't happen

same lol
i skimmed the rest of the post but i should sleep too, gngn
