Freedom of speech, Sup Forums and alt-right

Hey guys.

I have a 10 pages essay to write about why Sup Forums and Sup Forums in general is so right wing, alt/right, Trump supporter.

I also have to talk about the relation between the freedom of speech and the developement of this political view on this site.

Some questions i would love to answer :

Why do you think Sup Forums attract mostly right-wing people?

Do you thinks Sup Forums is mostly racist? If yes, how?

Do you think Sup Forums is mostly a satire?

Why do you think Reddit in general attract mostly left-wing people?

What is the importance of Sup Forums, Sup Forums and The_Donald in the campain of Donald Trump? Did they really played a big role?

Anyways, thank a lot. Sorry for my bad english, i'm am francophone.

We are a board of peace.

Leftist like reddit because reddit censors everything thats "mean" and goes against their communist ideals. It promotes hiveminds and you only see the stupid shit that gets upvoted.

People who are open minded and willing to read any post regardless of upvotes come to 4chin. Pol doesn't attract right wing people. It converts people into being right wing. Im sure 95% of people originally came to Sup Forums were liberals and after a free exchange of ideas happened, the majority were changed to right wing.

Oh and I almost forgot

>pol is satire and we are board of peace goy

>Why do you think Sup Forums attract mostly right-wing people?
Right wing is about individualism. Sup Forums is filled with people who want to separate from society because they disagree with it so heavily. That's not to say it attracts just these people. Many people end up here; but Sup Forums offering such freedom of speech enables objective truths to be spread; and doubt to be cast on the social norm. Doubt cast; people become disenfranchised with the mistruths in society and distance themselves from it. Hence the individualism of right wing. Sup Forums has plenty of national-socialists. They want socialism to work; but are convinced that it will only work with the correct people; those who see through the mistruths of society.
>Do you thinks Sup Forums is mostly racist? If yes, how?
Yes. Why? Statistical verification. Sup Forums is as racist as recognising that different races behave differently; are inherently different. Were they not; there would be no races; so simply by acknowledgement that there are races implies a difference and hence racism is justified.
Are lot of the things said about black people serious? Half of them, yes. But a good amount is just playing up this key point until it can't be ignored. It's a case of 'when people doesn't listen, shout louder' that causes much of the racism to become a parody of itself.
There are definitely a majority of racists here. But very few of them think racism is wrong.
>Do you think Sup Forums is mostly a satire?
Nope. A lot of it is very serious. Even if what is said is hyperbole; the point made is serious every time. There are jokes; no doubt. Are they satire? No; because they're making the same point as if the jokes were toned down. But as pointed out earlier, toning it down doesn't work. So Sup Forums is overt with its points, to the point it comes across as extremism.
But it's not satire.
>Why do you think Reddit in general attract mostly left-wing people?
Lefties, by nature of being social creatures; will flock to wherever is social.
cont. soon

>Why do you think Sup Forums attract mostly right-wing people?
Anonymity means Russians can shill here.
>Do you thinks Sup Forums is mostly racist? If yes, how?
Racist posts are made by Soros-funded organizations in a mostly unsuccessful attempt to discredit the Russian message.
>Do you think Sup Forums is mostly a satire?
It doesn't matter what our intentions are, what matters is our memes.
>Why do you think Reddit in general attract mostly left-wing people?
That's just a meme. Redditors are white nationalist, but their opinions are censored by the administration there.
>What is the importance of Sup Forums, Sup Forums and The_Donald in the campain of Donald Trump? Did they really played a big role?
Trump's victory was ordained by our arcane numerical ouija.

>Why do you think Sup Forums attract mostly right-wing people?
I've never identified as such.
>Do you thinks Sup Forums is mostly racist?
No.
>Do you think Sup Forums is mostly a satire?
Can't believe everything on the internet, so take every post with a grain of salt.
>Why do you think Reddit in general attract mostly left-wing people?
They can't deal with conflict of any kind and need something to protect them from questioning themselves.
>What is the importance of Sup Forums, Sup Forums and The_Donald in the campain of Donald Trump?
Nothing, elections seemed to have a pattern that already predicted this outcome.
>Did they really played a big role?
Yeah, we're they represented correctly though? No.

>Why do you think Reddit in general attract mostly left-wing people?
Lefties, by nature of being social creatures; will flock to wherever is social. They aren't trying to separate themselves; so they don't attempt to become a counter-culture. Thus they head to reddit because that's where others are. There's nothing inherently good about the sites visited other than their predisposition of popularity.
>What is the importance of Sup Forums, Sup Forums and The_Donald in the campain of Donald Trump? Did they really played a big role?
That would be hard to say. Sup Forums and Sup Forums were responsible for a lot of madness and havoc on other social media sites; bringing certain information into the foreground. Creating hashtags and starting trends to fit a pro-Trump agenda; not to mention all attempts to stem this resulted in more fuel for the fire.
But did that actually hit home and make much impact on people actually voting? It's quite possible; but hard to determine.
To the campaign; it would be difficult to say that the campaign was unaware of what Sup Forums was doing. And it would be as difficult to say if what was posted specifically on the board affected the direction of the campaign. But certainly; it can be said that if Sup Forums was being used to mine for arguments vs Clinton; then the campaign has reflected that. Sup Forums is quite free to express its thoughts; and this can reflect the thoughts of the average hick without direct surveying of said hick. That alone would've allowed the campaign to tailor its promises to maximise voting.
But there's no evidence either way.

Thank a lot for you replies guys.

>Even if what is said is hyperbole; the point made is serious every time.

That's really interesting. Maybe that's why most people outside of Sup Forums dont understand this site, or think it's just full of racist.

Btw, i'm a student at UQAM in Montreal. I may sent a link to my paper here once it's done.

Because Hitler did nothing wrong.

day of the rake

>Why do you think Sup Forums attract mostly right-wing people?
Because the rightwingers all over the world are often wrong and thus they need safe-spaces and echo-chambers were they don't feel as they are so wrong anymore. The internet pretty much provides this for them and Sup Forums is just one of many places. I honestly think when more and more people decided to use the internet on a daily basis is when the right-nationalist trend actually started
>Do you thinks Sup Forums is mostly racist? If yes, how?
Yes. Because they don't care if anyone gets hurt, as long as they get what they want
>Do you think Sup Forums is mostly a satire?
No, I think it is HYPERBOLE, not satire. Like, one person says something like "the weak should fear the strong" and maybe he doesn't think we should revert to social darwinism, but he does think rich and wealthy people should get tax cuts etc. Another hyperbole would be KILL ALL FUCKING NIGGERS AND GAS THE JEWS, but the real opinion behind it is like "fuck everything PC!"
>Why do you think Reddit in general attract mostly left-wing people?
I don't think it does that. I think Reddit just has more left-wing people than Sup Forums because Sup Forums is already so toxic and at Reddit, you can at least make sub-reddits. If you examine Reddit more closely, you will see they have the same rightwing safe-space echo-chamber problem that Sup Forums has. It's basically everyone on the right that has need for these echo-chambers because they feel traditional media and the rest of the world doesn't provide them a place to just be what they feel like
>What is the importance of Sup Forums, Sup Forums and The_Donald in the campain of Donald Trump?
Can't say anything for Reddit, but Sup Forums in general has this social psychology effect of making you feel more connected with a group. Everyone is a parrot here, it's how Sup Forums culture is because threads get erased and you need to remember the memes and copy-pasta to get a community to function.I do think it played a huge part.

I agree. People here have legit points but we like to hyperbolize everything, its just more fun that way. Most people on here are not really rasists, just want to bring facts to the table. Also please do send your paper here, I am quite interested in what you write.

I just want you to know that you're writing a paper on a Thai self-help noticeboard

>The internet pretty much provides this for them and Sup Forums is just one of many places

Yes but, from all places, they come here. A place where you can say everything you want without any consequense or censorship.

Do you think the full freedom of speech combined with anonymity has a role to attracting right-wing people?

Leftie shill setected
Kys marxist scum.

Begone cuck

>Why do you think Reddit in general attract mostly left-wing people?

Their entire system is based around emotional denial of truth - their upvoting system for example, the moderation censoring anything remotely non-left.. they also cant easily share pictures - of charts and graphics etc etc... so the truth is squelched, not promoted.

Their entire ideology is based around lying and deception.

Do your own research and come to your own conclusions, desu. It will be better than anything we have to say.

>Why do you think Sup Forums attract mostly right-wing people?
Other social media platforms are controlled or heavily censored by leftists,
and in many places, expression of right wing views isn't socially acceptable.
>Do you thinks Sup Forums is mostly racist? If yes, how?
I think there's as much real racism here as there is ironic racism.
In the same way we treat each other as caricatures of the flags on our post ID's,
so we also do the same for every ethnic group.
Because there's a variety of values represented on this board,
some of those values become expressed as hatred,
rather than seen as complex problems requiring more complex solutions.
>Do you think Sup Forums is mostly a satire?
It's a mix. Part of why it's fun to come here is because of the mix of real opinions with satire.
It forces an individual to think and consider their own point of view
in a way that's unlikely to happen in more heavily moderated social media settings.
>Why do you think Reddit in general attract mostly left-wing people?
Excessive moderation is essentially a type of authoritarian expression.
Good ideas can handle attacks, where as bad ideas are destroyed by them.
There also appears to be a concerted effort on the part of leftists
to take advantage of the downvoting system on Reddit in order to manipulate the quality and direction of discourse.
>What is the importance of Sup Forums, Sup Forums and The_Donald in the campain of Donald Trump?
>Did they really played a big role?
The role played was very important. The conversations and arguments influenced allot of people who voted.
Between us and R/thedonald, we also manufactured allot of share graphics
while also utilizing other social media to sway conversation and arguments in our direction.
We won due to our numbers and the influence we each had as individuals.

Good luck on your essay mr leaf.

>There also appears to be a concerted effort on the part of leftists

I dont fully disagree, but isn't it kinda ironic that /r/the_donald is the sub that censor the most?

Anonymity is important because the stuff said here will get you banned and ostracized if you post it on any other social media. Can you imagine if Larry from work posted a detailed analysis of why the Holocaust is fake on Facebook? All he would get are his friends calling him a Nazi. But here you have people actually willing to examine your argument instead of just using social shaming tactics.

Having no account and no karma leaves no incentive for conforming to the narrative for upvotes. You say something on Reddit because you seek approval. You say something here when you feel it needs to be said (same can be said for the shitposters who shitpost for the sake of shitposting).

>Why do you think Sup Forums attract mostly right-wing people?
The left control the MSN and other social media platforms. This is the only place where we can voice our true opinions. Lefties get to express their opinions on most other social media platforms without consequences, so there's liittle reason for them to come here and get triggered.
Not all Sup Forums is right wing though, although everyone here hates SJWs.
>Do you thinks Sup Forums is mostly racist? If yes, how?
Sup Forums is whatever it wants to be. Sometimes that's racist. "Racist" opinions are persecuted in the public eye, so racists come here to vent their opinions.
>Do you think Sup Forums is mostly a satire?
A good portion of Sup Forums is ironic; other parts are post-ironic. You can't tell with shills these days. Many Anons exaggerate the scale of their own opinions to look edgy. A good portion of Anons here are serious though.
>Why do you think Reddit in general attract mostly left-wing people?
Reddit's censorship policies makes it a good cozy form normies and leftists.
>Why do you think Reddit in general attract mostly left-wing people?
Trump's campaign was fueled by meme magic. It was us who made him president. Sup Forums is Trump's magi...
I so I'd like to believe...

Praise kek

We aren't Reddit, I see no irony in what they do when contrasted with our views, perhaps you should take it up with them.

I'm ban because i said i prefered Trump over Clinton, but Sanders over both of them.

As a former redditor I can say that it attracts so many left-wingers because of the news sub being so cucked.

People who think Sup Forums is 100% serious are fools, but people who think it's all just a joke are even bigger fools.

I think that a big fact of a lot of redditors being left-leaning and their obsession with "I DID IT REDDIT!" - that chronic need to make a difference in the world and be a part of something - can be traced to the fact that some of the first redditors were Sup Forums emigrants from Sup Forums around the time of Chanology, when Sup Forums first came onto the spotlight of the media in general, and ancientfags say everything went to shit. They want to make big things happen, but the very divided structure of reddit (I guess most people only go to the subs that interest them and ignore the rest - their frontpage is more useless than most newsites on the web) prevents any kind of effective mob action such as the kind that happens here. Just a thought.

All I really know for real is that Sup Forums, despite everything, is good at its core.

They may not take themselves seriously all the times, they may keep absurdly racist views, they may regularly engage in meme-based tomfoolery, they may seem spiteful and angry at the world for whatever misfortune it's given them; but I feel that it comes from a place that values morality and higher thinking, above all else, as faggoty as that sounds.
This place is one of the only that still has truly free speech without consequence, one where any can state their undiluted opinion. The people of Sup Forums care about forming the right opinions that they're willing to wade through abhorrent memery just to hear out points of view that might help them expand their own horizons.

Or maybe I'm just too fucking attached to this place and give it far too much credit.

Again, thank a lot for your replies everybody.
