"not your personal army" is contracted English. The full correct phrase would be "We are not your personal army". But this includes the word "we", and there's an unspoken rule about not using this word on 4chan, because it's an assertion that you are part of the group, which could be made fun of or challenged if pointed out. So while the phrase "not your personal army" is a way of shutting down anyone who tries to dictate on behalf of 4chan, it sneakily hides that very same idea. In other words, it's saying "You don't belong here! But I do!". In the end, it's more desperate and self-conscious than the person it was in response to.
it could just be I'm
>>12587815Shut up. Not reading all that
>>12587821Yet you already have, many many times, just in different places
>>12587815How about "They are not your personal army"? It rarely matters whether you consider yourself part of the group or not if you're just making a general statement about the group.
>>12587850But it's still a paradoxical rejection of groupthink while implying groupthink
>>12587852"They are not your personal army" is such a general truth that it refers to nobody and everybody
>>12587854That also sounds paradoxicalBut nobody would ever say that phrase with sincerity, because it puts 4chan on a pedestal while abstaining yourself. It's the kind of post edgy 4channers would wish non-4channers would say about them."They cannot be controlled... they are too powerful..."That's an embarrassing thoughtYou are being deceitful by implying the popular phrase "not your personal army" has ever not meant "we are not your personal army"
>>12587855people have to say things, sorry, this is like asking mexicans to adopt latinx
>>12587852This place is full of weak pussies who rely on perceived consensus, typically that of the lowest common denominator. Stuff like "no one says that" or referencing lack of support or agreement in a thread argument is rampant. The very lack of forced usernames emboldens a vast number of simpletons here to samefag or obfuscate. The amount of intellectually honest posters with integrity on 4chan is probably less than 5%. The rest are all sniveling, contradictory idiots who believe in absolutely nothing.
>>12587859no one says that
>>12587815fuck off
>>12587951poor angry baby...*pat pat*
>>12587852I get your angle, how about this "4chan is not your personal army." This way you don't assign yourself as either part or not part of the group.Also simply representing the common consensus of the group is not group think.Also they're indirectly refering to the no raids rule of the website 4chan
>>12587815the only reason that phrase is like that now is because of 2025 and wokenessback in the day it was an actually cool thing to say
>>12587815uhmmm uhmmm and the operating system they installed you on elementary does not operates but life is full of hope and opportunities for you to find sauce and stop eating words
>>12587859>The very lack of forced usernames emboldens a vast number of simpletons here to samefag or obfuscateyeah, cuz it's funny
>>12587859yeah we need an account system like reddit, so fucking NERDS like you can go trough your post history and go*squidward voice* "here in this post on /a/ on September 5th, 2017 you have expressed an opinion that is in direct contradiction to the one you're expressing now, leading me to believe that you're engaging in the argument dishonestly. Flagged, hidden and saged.
