Why is this board full of leftists all of a sudden? I’ve noticed it a lot in like the past month. Their posts are very easy to spot since they are so shameless. Is there some subversion campaign targeting this board now in order to undermine discussion they don’t want happening? Pic related, some interesting books I’ve found.

because after the first Trump presidency, articles were written by leftist media about 4chan and how it helped to get Trump elected (whether that's true or not, it's what the articles said).
So leftists being the vile cockroaches that they are, had some think tanks come up with ways to negate 4chan, and since they couldn't outright ban it, they decided to flood it with leftists and their reddit tier talking points.
>>
>>24764210
You forgot our ironic use of "nigger." Retards and the media really latched onto that one. We brought it onto ourselves.

Was the meta intentional? I suspect not but can't decide.

>>24764003
The internet would be better off 100% peer to peer with clear lines in the sand drawn between sites people are allowed to access and ones where they're not. It would be like an inverse of Rawls' veil of ignorance where a person would be selected from the instant they get internet access what sites they decide to use for the rest of their life and only those. Redditors would be segregated to Reddit and everyone who chooses here would stay here and there would be no cross pollinators.

people with the time to read these days are usually unemployed (and therefore left wing)

as to pt. 2, only fagots have partners who will actually give them 10-15 mins of peace and quiet when not at work.

i have been posting on 4chan since 2005 (bow down to me newfag) and pre 2014 4chan, pre gamer gate 4chan was more v for vendetta cyber anarchist hackers on steroids or ron paul libertarians
>>
>>24764567
I probably have you beat, 4chan was very new and very weeb when I first came here, but I don't remember the exact year but Jr was in his first term. I also remember that Ron Paul libertarians had a strong tendency towards hippie and left in those days, the left made libertarians into right wing schizos the same time they were making 4chan into a right wing haven. Anarchists predominantly fall into the extreme left but 99% of them are just edgy teens.

4th oldest thread on warosu.

/lit/ has always been one of the most leftist boardson this site, next to /co/ and /lgbt/, probably because it's also one of the smartest boards. On a site where it's mostly a right-wing circlejerk, it must be tough to see people actively challenge your views.

>>24764774
0.001% of the traffic on this board are intelligent and helpful discussions.
The only "smart boards" left are the ones about niche interests where people that go on there actually know something about their topic of interests.
Stuff like /lit/ /mu/ /pol/ etc casts such a broad net that it invites anyone in with barely a surface level knowledge to shit up the discussions.

By your logic, that would make /co/ and /lgbt/ smart, which they are not. They're trash

i've noticed it also and it's definitely people that never posted here before, probably refugees from twitter since musk turned it into a right-wing platform. you can tell because the entire posting style is off, not just the content. there was a post about jk rowling being a nazi for not accepting trannies that made me laugh out loud it was so out of place.

>>24764795
>jk rowling being a nazi for not accepting trannies
She might not be a nazi but TERFs just hate trannies because they despise White men and don't want them to feel better. Which is considerebly worse than being a nazi.
>>
>>24764788
Smart can be a reason, but not the only reason. For example, /lgbt/ is likely more leftist because they are people who benefit more from leftist policies. If you want to talk "logic", I was making an if statement, not an iff statement.

https://warosu.org/lit/thread/24750634#p24753067
>Are we talking about the same J.K. Rowling who literally based a major character of her life work on Hitler? Because then yah, I don't think it's a stretch to call her at least a nazi sympathizer, even if she obviously would never admit it for obvious reasons. If you don't believe trans people deserve human rights then I'm sorry but you're not a leftist. And I'm not trans by the way. Frankly I can't understand why right wingers are so obsessed with them. They are like what 0.1% of the population? Why it's such a big deal to just let them live their lives?

retarted take.
>>24764011
correct take.
I know at least four efforposters here, including myself, who are massively leftwing - like most people who read books and value culture and had to have actual jobs at a certain point in their lives. The problem of this board is that most people liveon their parents money, have no contact with the real world and completely stopped reading at least from after covid.

I think what's far more interesting about this board is the percentage of posters who are more-or-less moderate in their politics. There are lots of very agreeable, commonsensical liberals and conservatives here, which really isn't what you might expect.

you are an obvious impostor making sure to include the capitalized word "White" in every post as cover. only trannies rant about terfs being worse than nazis. only trannies claim opposition to trannyism is about denying happiness. you are not fooling anyone. rope already.

As the right is conquering the socio-political scene and the left is more marginalised than ever, it’s no surprise that on inherently contrarian websites like 4chan leftism gains popularity. 4chan is literally “popular thing bad”

that's fucking retarded, anons didn't have to actively discuss "day to day politics" for the board's average political stance to transpire, exactly as it does now. it was by far the most left leaning board I frequented. the funny thing is it probably still is, all things considered.
>>
>>24765064
you are a larping retard

this thread from early 2010 which asked /lit/izens if they liked obama - https://warosu.org/lit/thread/925653 - shows exactly what /lit/ was back then, some people liked him, some didn't, some hated him. it was by no means "leftist" or "political" as that's for losers who have no aesthetic appreciation. Novels are literature, literature is art.. if you want to be political go back to /pol/, or more likely, Reddit

Discussion here is completely brainless, most anons don't like to read but instead like the aesthetic of reading.

Do agree that lit was originally leftwing. Younger generations becoming conservative is a very new thing.

Remember when saging a non literature post was the default?
>>
>>24764003
This board was never right wing. That said, there has indeed been a sudden influx of more left-leaning threads in the past few months, probably from people migrating away from pleddit's aggressive moderation and/or running away from twitter.
