What was /pol/ like before 2015?
>>534779983Lolbergtarians
>>534779983fewer shills and zoomer retards
shit
>>534780255there were more gifs
>>534779983Most have forgotten anyway, youre talking to slopped golem creatures, you also are recalling the wrong year probably, what has you fixed on 2015? I see 2019 as a better year, but you wanted me to say that right? So what has you fixed on my reply to say in 2019? Found some 2019 loophole ? Speak up silent enemy, besides i left 2019 behind me recently, my eyes (all 3 of them) are on 2026 now :)Youre shit out of luck, negative undertone catpic poster
Like bags of sand
>>534779983Lots of Doom Paul happenings. Was kind of cozy
>>534779983immeasurably better
>>534779983A mix of Hitler and Ron Paul with the occasional skirmish against m00t. Current /pol/ is essentially whats left of the /r9k/ exodus plus election fags and political shills.
Bad.Not as bad as now, of course.People are far more jaded and petty now.
>>534779983No idea. I moved here from /b/ in 2017 during the hwndu lolz.Went on /b/ for the first time I years the other day... Jfc what an absolute wasteland of faggotry.
>>534779983White nationalists and libertarians, but not the drugs for children and nudity in public kind.
>>534779983brit/pol didn't have a resident paedophile that the jannies cover for, and people laughed at Russians instead of sucking their dicks.
>>534779983More national socialists. Where have you gone, bros?
>>534779983everyone was redpill, there was still daily spam by glowies, kikes and other faggots, but everyone knew their shit, there was also daily sig hail threads and redpill threads. also more promissing than today, we were also oblivious to the jeet-bioharzard problem.
the English-speaking world wasn't an endless psyop back then. that really picked up in 2017 and /pol/ has gone to shit in the same way the rest of the society has.
>>534779983Less retardsThe last 10 years has been a series of miserable failures to make a movement and aborted ecelebs spawning from it.
>>5347799834chan's metrics are declining in general, why do you think they got rid of IP counters? Most of the threads and posts nowadays are schizos spamming the same thing over and over. 4chan has no relevance any more, in large part because of the election tourists who've destroyed the site's culture over the past decade. We have no influence, no creativity, no humor. We are destined to rot away until the server costs finally outweigh the generated ad revenue and hiro pulls the plug.
>>534781068>Less retardsFEWER retards, like you.
>>534779983Way less brown people
>>534780754They either went underground, went to jail, or gave up. Either way, they're losers who can't map out a coherent system on their own. The only organized "far right" groups you'll see anywhere are fed run groups or nihilistic retards running around killing random people.
>>534780326damn, i havent seen that one in yearscheers
>>534781145>4chan's metrics are declining in generalThis became especially noticeable after the hack.
It was less of a "write only" board. You could actually get replies to your posts (that were not obviously shills or AI).I cam here during gamergate, so mid/late 2014. And it was still semi-tolerable. More of a free marketplace of ideas and niggers and niggerfaggots but mostly ideas. Total Holocaust deniers already existed back then and were just as retarded and immune to facts as today, but a lot fewer of them and of similar schizos seemed to exist. Nowadays if you do not follow the exact precise delusion of some posters to the letter, you will be called a jewish shill. Even if in the preceding sentence you have argued for the death of all things judaic. This has caused me many times to just not bother anymore with posting anything here.
>>534779983It was full of ponies.
>>534779983literal nazi, with no thirdies and [happening] tourists.
>>534779983it was more like /x/ and there were more threads about the holocaustwe laid the ground work for the Christian revolution of 16
>>534782762Still a lot of Ron/pol/ holdouts too. It shifted extremely NS when most users started to believe there were no political solutions.
>>534780747>people laughed at Russians instead of sucking their dicks.This is the period where people started converting to Russian orthodoxy. Russophilia has been a staple on the dissident right for at least 15 years
My first day on /pol/ had the 8 steps of cuckolding stickied on the front page by moot
>>534784168was that before or after it actually happened to him?
>>534784382After i believe it was October 2014 and moot posted a site wide banner to raid /pol/I was a /b/ fag at the time before it was 10000% pr0n and ive been here since
>>534779983A bit more fun. But also more obvious brigading by faggots.
>>534784621oh, you mean /pol/harbor. Yeah luggage lad was big mad for being called out on his cuckery
>>534784168Good times, they don't do fun stuff like this anymore
>>534779983Remove kebab threads.
>>534779983Deus vult.
>>534781145This. Majority of threads are just samefag thirdworlders replying to themselves
>>534784816>>534784819Doesn't it feel great to be the minority who witnessed this
>>534779983It was alright. Actually sending Bieber to north Korea would've been cool. If I was here, I didnt arrive till 2024 but im a loreologist
>>534784929Does it feel great knowing you were here before me? I bet it feels amazing, top notch, lile your one of the boys. Cor I am well jelly, wish I was here to witness pol harbour and all the shenanigans that proceeded to garnet lulz and rofls gash I am enviois
>>534785338i don't feel anything about bongs what you have to go through on a daily basis is just poor form for me to rip on
>>534779983We were a lot more hostile to one another. The general fags didnt exist, freaks were spamming interracial around the clock. Stormfront fags were present. Interest in global policy was lower. Most of us were furious about immigration into Europe. I would still murder Angela Merkel in cold blood
>>534785480>the only luggage lad that matters
>>534779983I wouldn’t know. I just got here.
>>534779983Lot's of retarded vegetarian/vegan/animal rights debate threads. Fuckers were relentless.
>>534785651Relentless
>canadians were not yet jeetbroken and were fun and friendly>all the ron paul central bank fags were just as numerous, wrong, and active as they are today>there was a lot more comic banter>japs could barely speak english>not many thirdies, and those who were were mostly asians>americans were always the dumbest people in the thread>but every now and then there was some genius yank who'd make a mindblowing post
GamerGate killed this board in 2014.
>>534784929Reminder this is one of the youngest boards.
>>534785797>americans were always the dumbest people in the threadsame on /int/ and /hist/ later, lol
Digging into the Podesta's art ring. Nxvium. Sarah Ruth Ashcraft. Seth Rich. Time travel shenanigans: "is Trump really Patton?" type shit. Obama satan photo. A lot of Anons went broke or joined the glowies.
>>534779983I wouldn't know, i'm 2016 cancer
>>534781306You're looking at them asshole
>>534780196>lolbertariansAKA delusional white quote on quote men that genuinely believe other groups engage in fair economics and not just conquest for their bullshit.
>>534779983gamergate, basic redpills on the jews/race/etc that are all taken for granted now. Lots of autistic arguments between natsocs and ancaps. Before trump's shitposting campaign took off in 2015, there was also just this low energy feeling that things were just going to keep continuing on as they were and there would never ever be any cultural pushback or pendulum swing on anything at all. That's not to say Trump ended up being a hero or anything, but his presence did help kickstarting a kind of awakening and a feeling of hope that the zeitgeist could be reversed.
>>534779983I barely remember my yesterday much less 10 years ago.The first Trump election all feels like a fever dream now.>Inb4 you have alzheimersIm 25 bro.
>>534780754I grew up, stopped believing in it, got a job, and have half latino children.
>>534785949I like the lidl shoplifting song you guys sing
>>534779983full of retards saying school shootings were fake
>>534785933Lol nxvim et al was made up to wind anons up. Same as q anon who had hillary clintons passport and locked up jn jail...
>>534779983It was still just as racist, but it was the more sophisticated, pseudointellectual racism. Now no one even pretends to engage with discourse critically, and it's just skinhead tier screeching about Jews all day.
>>534786161Insurance folder. Huma Abedin.
>>534786161Those NYC cops 86d themselves for no reason, right Moishe?
It had a way higher representation of libertarians and Ron Paul supporters. Lots of Sandy Hook conspiracy posts. People would post pictures of Penn Jillette and say, “Into the trash it goes,” referring to an employer tossing out resumes. There were tons of Pepe and Wojak memes. The board was much younger and active overall.
>>534786169tbqh it's because we've passed that point, because the overton window has shifted sufficiently. The conditioning has weakened significantly compared to a decade ago. I no longer feel the need to have massive wall-of-text debates with studies and graphics explaining things like race and IQ or how the holohoax is bullshit. That was thoroughly settled, so now I just get to sit back and shitpost about kikes and nigs
>>534786169Man whatever happened with Skinheads?Now there is a group you dont hear about anymore.They were a big part of 2000´s culture.
>>534786161I even remember where q originally came from. Still wonder why he did not quietly stop
>>534786278>That was thoroughly settledNo, MAGA just enabled these people to emotionally settle on what they already believed and discard criticism automatically. This caused a lot of cognitive atrophe on the right, as we've seen over the past 10 years.
>>534786397maga? You mean the evangicuck boomers who worship trump? I'm talking about /pol/, not r/the_donald and their metastasized cancer like /ptg/
>>534779983it was hilarious, never ending laughs. Now the laughs are different..
>>534779983Oh man if only you knew. Nothing like nu/pol/
>>534786465Yes, MAGA changed the discourse on the right significantly, even across demographics of right wing ideologues who don't support Trump.
>>534779983It was fucking awesome. Mostly high IQ libertarians who worshipped Ron Paul. Then the Trayvon Martin trial was peak /pol/ trolling the trial itself... and lunch became a daily ritual.https://youtu.be/eE18RLfYb1Y?si=eR9yRZP0a3vW1jEv
>>534786359>They were a big part of 2000´s culture.Bigger in the 80s and 90s.
I think anons were smarter back then.
>>534786219>NYC copsIt didn't happen, you read a news article and believed it.>>534786186Yea, nobody has a folder where they keep insurance documents. I used to till I stopped riding my motorcycle.>>534786367Imo he didnt start
>>534779983>times just before he will not divide us.
>>534786759>zero sugarSweeteners are very bad for you, worse than sugar.
>>534786805>BritREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Venti
Remove /ptg/ and the jeet migger mod trying to control the narrative on /pig/ and the tranny mods gookmoot let in and it's about the same.
>>534779983I remember seeing the sentiment "Pigs and Nigs deserve each other" a lot. Cops were hated for being power tripping fags, but no sympathy at all for niggers.
>>534786465>>534786536Evangelicals are a large majority block for conservatives and they have always controlled mainstream narratives in the US. There can be no Republican President at all without Evangelicals.
>>534786397What exactly do you mean by cognitive atrophy? Rightoids can't seem to agree on anything
>>534779983quite the hoot
there were a few bright spots
>>534779983A lot less brownoids.
>>534787242Americans have always been here
>>534779983High-tier history nerds, mostly
>>534787242that's sadly true for the internet in general. Who the fuck decided to give 1.5 billion pajeets internet access? Eventually I think people will start gravitating toward various alternate websites that just straight-up rangeban india and the like.
>>534779983/pol/ has always been a containment board for retards
>>534779983>BUT WHO WILL PAY FOR THE ROADS>are serbians white>do people really think that government does xpeople were less redpilled, communists would show up and try to make their case from time to time
>>534786771Shalom.
Same niggers and fags... Just older now with lil welfare goblins
>>534787305The sad thing is that you think you're clever when you're low-key covering for mestizo filth. Their migration onto /pol/ and the direct effect on board quality should be remembered and noted. >>534787341Too true, the internet was a much better place when it was 90% white males with above average IQs. Before social media, the mass migration of brownoids and the nonstop Jewish well poisoning.
It was an amazing clusterfuck, where mods didnt exist (as Moot, still based back then, had stated that it would be pointless to expect unbiased moderation for such a board, so there wasnt any) so the only way to truly stand out was by the worth of your arguments, and while shills were a thing back then ie JIDF, they were still humans and thus at least some sort of actual argumentation could happens, and boy were the rethorics honed to a bloody art.
>>534786169This.'Low IQ antisemitism' and anti-intellectualism has been a disaster for the right. No one reads or thinks.
>>534788242That's not "skinhead" antisemitism as the poster you replied to said, it's the MAGA/conservative performative antisemitism.You can find skinhead magazines in archive. The stuff in them is more insightful than anything that came from a "Deplorable", "Groyper", or any other offshoot of the alternative lifestyle right.
>>534786278this, I used to write essays that took three comments to fit them all. Now I just post slurs.
>>534779983Fun.It was good right up until joe biden got into office then it went to shit. Im assuming it was some government program to stifle discussion and ruined this place. Look at all the chinks/pakis/euroshitskins that invaded wheb the US started bombing iran. It was like that but with bleeding heart leftys.
>>534788432I got tired of multi-post paragraph posting when that was the only thing people were doing on infinite.
>>534788880>I got tired of multi-post paragraph posting when that was the only thing people were doing on infinite.that was my favorite honestly. I was part of the second exodus and most of red pilling came from read 300 post threads where nearly every comment was a fat effort post.I also miss blood red bold posting, multi image posting. I used to bake happening threads. Good times.
