Is it true that 4chan used to be left wing back in 2005 or so?
look at that donkey look
>>525921042Still is.
still is, nazism is left wing.
No. It was like a neo Nazi libertarian synthesis but that shit was more retarded and confused back then.
Cute donkeyYes, 4chan was a bunch of mildly left leaning teenagers pretending to be Nazis for the lulz during the Bush eraBut then the actual Nazi boomers showed up and ruined all of the funIt's like how MAGA was originally apolitical teenagers laughing about the idea of the guy from The Apprentice beating Hillary Clinton in an electionIt started off in good fun, but then the boomers joined up and ruined itMoral of the story: right wing boomers ruin everything
4chan is military and politics is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex.
>>525921042No, never.
>>525921154>>525921139>>525921042Cute look at the Edgy teens>>525921222Close but it was for the lulz and chaos
lol nobunch of discord troons are spamming 4chan 24/7 trying to shift the consensus, they're the only ones claiming that
>>525921154Nazi is derogatory. The polite term is national socialism.American uniparty is corporate feudalism which is right wing.
>>525921042Yes it's true
>>525921283i bet you think transrights is a thing not created by jews to divide the world
>>525921042I don't know I was with infinity Chads
>>525921042well, yeah because GW was a dumb biblethumping warmongerer just like trump
>>525921042It still is (alt-communist) but it was full of proto SJW fags straight through 2014 when they started noticing they were being mainstreamed or rejected and called Nazis
>>525921474good catch shitjeet whos country is national socialist utopia for shit skins, just like nazi germany the whites are the labor but unlike nazi german shit skins profit
>>525921222It was generic edgy Democrat socialist you lying shill
>>525921042no shit you stupid nigger we were all teenagers and watching anime and not wanting to be drafted thinking the iraq war was retarded
>>525921501I bet you think there's a significant difference between the uniparties.
>>525921042Yes. Technology hadn't trickled down to woman and browns yet so they weren't constantly blasting out to the world how they were going to destroy western civilization. Combined with Dubya's forever wars making mainstream conservatism so unlikable it was much easier for the 4chan demographic to hold vaguely left leaning views.
>>525921042i remember it being very Ron Paul libertarian type, until the jews started to spread nazi propaganda here because he was getting too close to winning. they needed to create the fake "alt-right" to associate it with that movement. And thus where we are today...
It's always kinda been radical centristRetards will view this as left wing
>>525921679No it was not dude I’ve been here forever. It was never a pro Democrat board. People used to talk about InfoWars here before anyone knew what InfoWars was.
Can't ever recall meeting leftists that saved and shared Nazi memes and spammed nigger every day.>It was just a joke!!!!As I said, no leftist has ever had a sense of humour about that kind of thing.
>>525921701when that person response back you get your answer, granted you know democrats imported 100 shit skin to murder them and are protesting their removal by republicans and that makes the the same
>>525921042/b/ was, /new/ and then /pol/ have always been stormfront lite
>>525921042For a basket weaving forumn I haven't learned shit about weaving.
>>525921042very much so/b/ is still leftist btw
>>525921042Yep and we hated stormtrooper faggots.Liberals were pushing the conspiracy theories too, not conservatives.
>>525921042No, it wasn't partisan
>>525921042No, never.Occasionally you'll have commies spread this rumor as they try to shift discussion in their favor.But it always fails and it's always false.
>>525921952i bet you haven't even learned Mongolian to start on that journey
I ‘member.
>>5259210424chan's political compass is always counterculture. Back then the media was run by crazed rightoids trying to censor my anime and video games. Then it was run by crazed leftoids trying to censor my anime and video games. Now both of them are trying to censor my anime and video games.
>>525921910Kek I knew it. You actually voted for the uniparty.
>>525921042Kinda. What you have to remember is that when the internet was first starting out, only educated people (leftists) could afford it. When computers and the internet became more ubiquitous, and every backwater hick got access to it, racism/sexism/homophobia became real rather than ironic.
>>525921904Your underagedness is showing. People used to joke about things without it being politically motivated. Like faggots. When we call you a fag, we're using it as an insult. We're not literally calling you a homosexual. Unfortunately that level of depth was lost on your generation.
Yes and not really. It wasn't about politics back then, because it was an entirely different landscape.It was just teenagers engaging in the usual teenager counter culture, which did gravitate towards the left at the time as the conservative US was warmongering as hard as they could. But any ideas that this place wasn't racist or any of that bullshit about being leftist politically are false. Especially considering that the leftist from 20 years ago is now more right wing than right win.People hated niggers back then the same way they do now.Only difference was that race relations were better, due to nigs not enjoying total protection from the systems, so they were better behaved by default and there was less mixing of people's spaces in general.Everyone had their own space and did their own thing, which meant there was a lot less friction in societies.On top of it there was a radical difference between people who used computers daily and those who didn't.People here were very much a fringe group when it came to the big picture.
>>525921042>Paid shill operation trying desperately to revive the idea that 4chan was ever left wing.LolLmao even If I point to proof that's retarded nonsense, you'll just shift to claiming that we were all just being edgy. Such a tiring thing to see shills relaunch their failed bullshit.
>>525921042Yes, 4chan was mostly college age or younger men who were more nerdy outcast types rather than skinheads or whatever the fuck has been going on for the past 15 or so years. Think left in the sense of counter culture of the early 00's, less so left in the sense of blue haired bleeding hearts. Lefties are still here by the way, just not very vocal on /pol/ because this board is poison for the mind Ron Paul /b/!
>>525921042Left wing meant something WAY different back then.
>>525922165>no let the shit skin's democrats imported by the 100's of million's vote for you as White manlike how you don't address democrats importing shitjeets that are now stranded in shitland and not returning here, as a Trump thing, projection from a shit skin confirmed
>>525921042>Is iT tRuE tHtA 4cHaN wAs CoUnTeRcUlTuRe bAcK iN [year]You faggot truly do not understand this website
>>525921904>As I said, no leftist has ever had a sense of humour about that kind of thing.Wrong. I absolutely used to say nigger and make nazi jokes back in the day, and I'm a huge leftist. I only stopped because people started using those phrases/jokes seriously rather than ironically. It was funny until it wasn't.
4chan in 2005 was mostly apolitical weeb teenagers. It didn't become political at all until Chanology in 2008 and even then that wasn't exactly political but just an attack on Scientology. 2008 to 2012 the site was mostly libertarian Ron Paul worshippers with some Stormfront posters on /new/. 2012 to 2015 /pol/ started having a more major effect on 4chan as a whole and 2016 onward the entire site is fucked because of the massive influx of MIGApedes and normies.
>>525922031It was more a bunch of libertarians with liberal ideas, ironic and unironic national socialists, and everything in-between that, pretty much. There were sprinklings of other ideologies around, but it wasn't full of leftism like the leftist ideology now.
I remember as far back as 09 it was edgy racist lulz shit, /new/ was the predecessor of /pol/ and was full of libertarians and white nationalists
>>525921042no one gave a shit about politics. both sides were trolled for fun.
>>525922464I'm not a democrat. I didn't vote for the uniparty I made that quite clear. Your strawman won't work here migadrone.
No liberals were never coolThey were culturally weiners since at least Carter until "swave nigger" Obama made them the party of hip-hop and nigger worship.It was so bad we elected a reality TV star to crush it using any means necessary.
I would say it was mostly apolitical with a anti-authoritarian bent. There was nothing overwhelmingly right wing about it (other than /news/ and /pol/) prior to gamergate times when this culture war nightmare began.
>>525921986>/b/ is still leftist btwsounds about rite, /b/'s just faggots and pedo's now
>>525922263Retard I'm 35. I've been on and off 4chan coincidentally since 2005 exactly. I crossed over from the pure pwnage forums. Kill yourself you meme flag cunt.
>>525921042we had nigger hate threads on 4chan.net
>>525921753>RonPaul roody poosI miss my youth4ch was counterculture shit back in the day, basement dwellers doing whatever felt fun at the time. Before reddits up doot mechanics and social media influencer shit solidified a massive chunk of the online world as "THIS OPINION IS CORRECT AND POPULAR", anti-normie shit would wander back and forth ever few years. The left held the upper hand in the culture war for a long time, making right wing stuff the low hanging shock value fruit for lazy nerds./pol/ has always been a cluster fuck. Nazi stuff was always around for the memes, but the Republican cock sucking is relatively new (trump 1 campaign).
>>525922706again the shit skin leftist only goes after trump how odd, it doesn't address the left trying to force kids to transition for jews
>>525921042>Is it true that 4chan used to be left wing back in 2005 or so?4chan used to be openly pedo.
Oldfag here.4Chan used to be anti-establishment, anti-conservatism, the userbase used to constantly make fun of republicans, conservatives, bible thumpers, and george bush.The shift came in 2016, when russian trolls and various other shill farms overran the website to astroturf for donald trump, and they never left.That is how 4Chan went from being an edgy, anti-establishment hacker website to cheering on zogbots murdering Americans in broad daylight.
Most people in this thread are dead wrong4chan used to be an lolbert website, like most of the web. It used to have a demographic of exclusively nerdy sheltered white guys. These lolberts also barely understood capitalism and where more libertarians just because they hated the government. The “left winged” part might be that they weren’t actually racist, but ironic as fuck, they just thought racism was funny and a good way to keep “normies” away (they didn’t concern themselves with democrats or statists, they weren’t even cerebral enough to have political enemies outside of politically correct people and the gubmint, they’re basically lolbert hippies)Then Nazis started using this site more and more because they both hate the government (even though nazism requires some form of government to function properly) + they both agree with economics (even though 4chan lolberts know nothing about economics at this time), and basically all the non-racist lolberts left around 2013ish I would say, and the ones who tolerated racism or where actually racist ended up blending in with the Nazis. tl;dr 4chan used to be libertarian like the rest of the internet due to demographics. Everyone was a sheltered nerdy potentially autistic white dude. Now it’s populated by SEA Monkeys, Indians, State Actors, Bots, and handfuls of other people that used to not know about this site, and maybe some other demos in bigger numbers I’m not thinking of.
>>525921042Yes, because left-wing of 2005 is right wing of 2026.
>>525921139This. Can't spell national socialism without socialism. If that doesn't make sense, just think more, idiot.
>>525921753>libertarian>the jewsThere's nothing more jewish than libertarianism anon
/pol/ was libertian when I first came here. Ron Paul, Silk Road etc was big at the time. I think the whole "don't tread on me" mentality probably carried on from the Anonymous guy fawkes era.
>>525922578>I only stopped because people started using those phrases/jokes seriously rather than ironicallyYou're a liar and a coward. You know why you stopped. Just because we bashed evangelicals on here doesn't mean we were leftist.>>525923010This. 4chan was counter culture i.e. joking about being paedophilia and Hitler. The shock to keep normies out has ALWAYS been here. Even Soviet Russia posting was always taking the piss out of them. It's true that the political posts aren't what they're like in this new 2016 era of 4chan (basically propaganda) but the idea that this place was 'leftist' is absurd.
4chan has always been bent towards the harsh truth and the truth nowadays is that the jew was always behind everythingthis attracted a lot of stormniggers thinking it was about aryan supremacy but was mostly about noticing the small group of child molesters behind it allnow you have a lot of CIA, mossad, IDF trying to sway the narrative and larping all day but the truth is very hard to control nowthats why you are now witnessing the fall of the US as they desperately try to control their empire trough military and violence instead of work.4chan knew that the failed system of eternal debt for banknotes that don't represent anything would eventually fallonly newfags think that "left wing" means being against traditional values, being left leaning only means being against the voracious nature of capitalism that destroys everything: religion, tradition, culture, family, liberty.
>>525923038>The shift came in 2016, when russian trolls and various other shill farms overran the website to astroturf for donald trump, and they never left.Nah we were already cooked by that point.The real point of no return was when Facebook and Reddit shoah'd their right wing retard communities and those magaboomers all came here and never left, around 2017-2018.
>>525923038the support of the orange here in 2015 was organic because most people saw him as a meme candidateby 2016 during the wikileaks drops is when all the shills arrived and never left

>>525921154>retards
>>525923355Correct. Donald Trump was popular here because the idea of him being president was hilarious. It's actually almost unbelievable in hindsight how much has changed.>>525923265>being left leaning only means being against the voracious nature of capitalism that destroys everything: religion, tradition, culture, family, liberty.Nope. First of all, "left leaning" literally means you lean left but stand in the centre. So, irrelevant. Leftists at their core are against natural law (anti-competition) and lead by morality, rather than the truth. Not at all what 4chan was in 2005 btw.>>525923605You said you are a leftist; so you stopped saying nigger because you were filled with a hollow sense of morals, created by those that want to manipulate weak people to do their bidding.
>>525923644You do realize Mises, Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, and Milton Friedman where all Jews right? Just because one of your politicians is a fucking chud doesn’t mean your ideology isn’t Jew propaganda
4chan wasn't anything in particular and it was much smaller board-wise and traffic-wise. I didn't like the early site because everywhere outside of b was mostly gaynime slop.
>>525921042Always has been.
>>525923355>because most people saw him as a meme candidateThis.No one actually gave a shit about the guy, but his election was seen as something that would cause the most asshurt and therefore would be the funniest thing.We would have supported Hulk Hogan if he was running at the time, would have been funny as fuck. Unfortunately this place is the cultural mecca of the internet and that drew all of the genuinely politically minded fuckwits here.It's amazing how I used to think this site was already more or less fucked by the late 2007 with the flood of absolute newfags that had just discovered the internet, but those guys were saints compared to the normie hellfest that happened after 2015.It's not going to get any better any time soon either.

No, it was more libertarian. And we used to actively raid other platforms and make trouble on the internet.

>>525921042Yes but not really no. 4chan was moreso just apolitical or uncaring because the world wasn't hyper-polarized and jacked up on 24/7 buzzword spam. Most of us were teens then and kids lean left.

>>525921283This
Basically, modern politically inclined people here are huge normalfags, because normalfags are who massively care about politics and other real life things, which 4chan traditionally was another escape from.
>>525921042Yeah
>>525931526Errr wrong it all went to the right just after Monica Lewinsky sucked off Bill.
not exactly left wing, but majority of people on 4chan 20 years ago were against bible retards who wanted to censor/ban everything(just like now), against warmonger like Bush and invasions in the Middle east, against patriot act, corporations etc/pol 12-15 years ago was almost exactly like that, also they were against minorities, fags, polticians, tinny hat club etc, now look at the state of this shithole>based billionaire, based black tranny and based jew, i love giving more power to the government and corporations because it will piss off the other side>>525923038>that flag and saying so much truthfucking hell i am dreaming
>>525923291Delusional scat fetish fag denying reality trying to gaslight
>>525921042Left wing in 2005 meant you didn't like the patriot act and thought the iraq war was stupid, and hated jack thompson for trying to censor video games. It was nothing like it is now. I've hated niggers for most of my life and I would have been considered far left back then.

It didn't matter of conservatives got made fun of, or commies, or sandniggers, or jews, blacks, whites, christians, it was genuinely just political humour.Now they're mindless propaganda AI slop that is so asinine, even people who already agree with the ideologies they're trying to push start to dislike those ideologies.

>>525933769>4chan always loved and help create transwomen back in the day.4chan liked traps. Not trannies.They only liked you pretending a be a woman if you were passable, and even then it was just accepted you were a man because no girls on the Internet.
