>the jew is so terrified of a Malaysian rice fishing forum they believe it has the power to literally alter the fate of national elections

I'm actually proud. WE IS THE KANGS NOW!

Yeah, we basically got an incompetent candidate up to destroy the world just for the lulz. May we all laugh while dying. Who in their right minds would want a reality TV show host creating policy and doing diplomacy. Shit has been hilariously bad so far.

>malaysian rice fishing forum

that's pretty funny my man

>kiwi
and youd rather have hillary or that commie nigger fuck bernie?

It'd be much less funny to have either of them. After all, neither of them would have picked a national security adviser who was a Russian informant and then a second national security adviser who said no because he insisted on having competent, trusted staff to work with him. The chuckles keep getting better!

At least I'm in Australia, where I can just laugh at how fucked America is becoming.

Who is this hacker knows as 4chins

That's pretty insane.
One line he's saying Milo is crazy for thinking feminism shits on masculinity, and later in the article, is citing a feminazi shitting on masculinity in a failed attempt to defend an unrelated point.
How can one article be so wrong about literally everything?

Are you trying to out-compete Canada in making the worst posts on this board?

Well we certainly did do it for the lulz. But let's be honest here. Trump has achieved wealth, fame, and power. If you want to say he's incompetent I will expect you to have done better.

>The site, if you hadn’t guessed, was Sup Forums.org. It was an offshoot of a different message board which I also knew from my referral logs, “Something Awful”, at the time, an online community of a few hundred nerds who liked comics, video games, and well, nerds things.

wow what a well researched article

>author shares his vintage Sup Forums meme

This is how I know this guy is a faggot

For someone LARPing as being an occasional visitor he sure didn't get the concept of
>implying Sup Forums is one person

It always sticks in my craw when normies try and define the beliefs held by anons on this site. Yes there -seems- to be a vocal consensus on many things however the portion who disagree with or don't care about x thing just don't post or start threads about x. And on top of that you can never gauge exactly how many people in the x threads are just shitposters or memefaggots who don't really believe or agree or like x but post about x anyway. Yes there are shills but they are obvious, the real people who disagree just don't post in the threads at all - likely browsing elsewhere. On top of this each board has its own unique dynamic. Yes support of trump does seem to prevail on Sup Forums I doubt that many people accept the term alt-right as a description of their beliefs.

tl;dr this guy talks about the bell-curve of user consensus but he's just pulling statistics out of his gaping asshole

I get the impression he's knowledgeable about old Sup Forums, Sup Forums, and /r9k/, but he never bothered to acquaint himself with Sup Forums. I suspect we're further from our parents' basements than he expects.

He's also a leftist ideologue, and leftism is doomed to inevitable failure.

>Everyone on Sup Forums is a 14 year old nerd loser and I can create broad generalizations about millions of people who I know nothing about
>Check out this data I totally didn't rip off by skimming the Sup Forums wikipedia page because I couldn't be bothered to do actual research
>Better add some blogging and strawman arguments for good measure so nobody realizes how little effort I put into this
>I took psychology 101 so that means I can pull a whole bunch of pseudoscience bullshit out of my ass and present it as fact!
Its kinda amazing to think that 10 years later and the media still thinks we run around in guy fawkes masks, yell LOL EPIC WIN OVER 9000, and sing rick astley songs.

I disagree

also

>sage

this dude is failing spectacularly at understanding a lot of Sup Forums's past moments.

Spending several paragraphs explaining that Pepe peeing with his pants down and saying feels good man is 'embracing loserdom' was a complete wreck. It's about recognizing there is shit you wouldn't do in public that 9/10 people do when alone.

It became a meme because it was a quick and dirty way of saying "I do that shit too" about any topic.

WELL FUCK YOU FAGGOT REEEEEEEEEE

obvious the guy put a lot of heart into this

too bad he's a psuedo-intellectual leftist blowhard

but don't you see? by challenging you I've proven your point

now we can celebrate our fractured masculinity by championing our "beta" status and docking penises

why does it seem like everyone except Sup Forums thinks Sup Forums had a much bigger role than it really did? i mean maybe i'm underestimating this website but i don't really think this site has nearly as much influence as half these articles make it seem

anyway, here's another study on Sup Forums with a kierkegaardean theme
reallifemag.com/apocalypse-whatever/

>Among the white nationalists on Sup Forums’s “politically incorrect,” or Sup Forums board and on “alt-right” Twitter — or anywhere you might run into a picture of Pepe the Frog — there is a cryptic but popular saying: “Praise Kek.” Kek is how World of Warcraft translates “lol” when it’s revealed to members of opposing alliances, but it is also, conveniently, a name for a serpent-headed Egyptian chaos god.

>shitposters resemble the disengaged ironists the 19th-century philosopher Soren Kierkegaard discussed in texts like The Concept of Irony and Either/Or. According to Kierkegaard, the ironist “poetically composes himself and his environment with the greatest possible poetic license” and lives “in this totally hypothetical and subjunctive way.” ... The ironist maintains his power by taking no position, starting every argument anew. “There is something seductive about every beginning, because the subject is again free, and it is this pleasure the ironist longs for,” Kierkegaard writes in The Concept of Irony. “In such moments, actuality loses its validity for him; he is free, above it.”

>Kierkegaard’s ironist came of age in the an era of increasing technological production, urbanization, secularization, and — ultimately — alienation. Shitposters have come of age in an era no less turbulent. They too live in a time of economic uncertainty and spiritual apathy in which foundational myths about the self and its role in the cosmos seem to have been rendered obsolete.

I'll go get my jo crystal and we'll make a night of it

>Trump is le con man snake oil salesman
>does literally everything he said he would do
Trump is a fucking idiot but ill take an idiot blindly stumbling towards America's salvation over a cunning, calculating politician sprinting towards Americas downfall

Sup Forums is post ironic though.

>post ironic
explain

>Well? Is he right, Sup Forums?

It's a rambling, incoherent mess.

Kek is real

like the Trump presidency

great way to put it

Jesus fucking christ it just hit me.
>leftism on the rise
>autist faggot libtard babbies pushing for marxist horseshit
>Sup Forums hates these fucks and is also inhabited by autists who refuse to go along with the programming

Two sides of the same autistic coin, waging war on one another. Autism vs Altism.

The word "basement" is used in this article 10 times. The author seems like the kind of guy that jerks off while looking at himself in the mirror.

The sum of all fears.

A million autistic weapons, all of them are hissing.

except less entertaining

There are two narratives

>Leftard niggas that laugh at the thought of Sup Forums or the "altright" being influential in anything

And

>Leftard niggas that can't sleep at night thinking about how Sup Forums, GamerGate, the fappening led to FASCISM

The only thing we can learn from this is that Leftists are fucking SHOOK AS FUCK

WORLDWIDE
COALITION
OF
RIGHT
WING
EXTREMISTS

>like the Trump presidency

You realize that Trump WON the presidency, right?

>tfw you just wanted to play vidya but then leftists got in the way and you just had to FASCIST UPRISING

lol

>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE JEWS WON'T LET ME DO ART
>FASCISM NOW!!!
Replace shitting up vidya with shitting up art and its litterally Hitler

Does that mean we're all literally Hitler?
So the lefties are right?

I think Sup Forums is just one of many social phenomena Trump closely examined and considered while planning his campaign. We always say meme magic and Kek won Trump the election, but most normies don't get on and look at memes all day, do they? To take all the credit would just be arrogant.

Understatement of the fucking year.

Hillary lost because there was extreme overconfidence that minorities could pull swing states in favor of Democrats and were ready to do so with no ground game needed. In fact a bus full of campaigners was on their way to MI when they got a text from party brass telling them to turn around. There was no need to go to Michigan because it was gift wrapped for Hillary.

There was an extremely presumptuous sentiment that 'whites were on their way out' even in Rust Belt states.

Is Hitler dare I say, /ourguy/?

Sup Forums as a whole is contrarian for the most part. It's just gotten progressively less edgy and recruits waves of newfags who try to bring their labels here.
>degenerate weebs
>start trolling websites and spamming gore porn
>Hal Turner raids
>Chanology
>wave of moralfags/ "Anonymous"
>half of Sup Forums does the contrary via tormenting people
>jesse Slaughter/Tumblr raid era
>YouTube/twitter era gives way to gamergate
>things get political. Enter Trump
>""Alt-Right" gets involved
And now here we are with a bunch of edgy, reactionary, conservative faggots spamming liberal commentators for having different opinions.

Do normies really find Sup Forums's layout confusing? They all say this shit, what the fuck man

What the hell is confusing about it

We love outraging others, and journalists like finding things to be outraged about. This is creating a monstrous feedback loop

Jesus, he sounds like Brian the dog from Family Guy.

>Surround yourself with books you can read and quote but never really grasp. Use these quotes as just 'bling' to flash at your rivals. The dumber you think your audience is the less you have to try to actually string a coherent narrative.

>"I think I will drop 'Jungian Ego Manifestations' and references to the works of Tolstoy on those plebes!"

>Just a fucking DOG the whole time.

Just finished reading it.

The usual journno pieces like this are D's but I guess this is a C or something.

Still misses the main thrust of things, doesn't change anything structurally from the usual retarded Wikipedia narrative. Pads it out with some extra lore ("did you know they ALSO made THIS meme?")

Which is weird considering this guy was on SA and should know how internet meme extreme culture works. Dale: SA invented the impact font thing, not Sup Forums. Stop being a tourist in subcultures, and you might actually experience something beyond their surface level. Though I guess floundering in the shallows *is* Tumblr culture.

I ventured into plebbit, they do.

That goon can go fuck his ass with a radioactive cucumber

Power perceived is power achieved.

kek, what a load of drivel

>I worked for a game development company

aah, now I get it

>gamergate acheived nothing, no shadowy collusion

>trump is a loser, all his voters are losers

pretty retarded

>Trump is a fucking idiot
you take that back, b-baka

...

>believing Sup Forums had anything of actual substance to do with Donald Trump's election

You guys give yourselves waaayyy too much credit.

But to your credit, everyone else gave you way too much credit too.

>You guys give yourselves waaayyy too much credit.
you aren't one of us then?

why are you here? just to be a faggot?

ultimately what does it matter how much influence we had? the deed is done. the first outsider president in more that a century

now is not the time for fear

i've been here since a pimply faced 14 year old in 2004

his early writings were pretty ok but doesn't give 'us' enough credit

the stuff about gamergate is absolutely retarded, but at least he admitted that he's got vested interests in that community. hard to be objective when you're being raided lel

i got bored though

maybe i'll read the rest when he can tl;dr
