Newbie here, I have a question

Why is Sup Forums so right winged? (Not a bad thing in my opinion, since it's good to see both sides of a coin and the mainstream media here in Germany is pretty left-winged)

because people on the internet are smarter

Because most of us are either adults who have been subjected to liberal governments and policies for much of our lives, or are sheeple who slavishly follow said adults.

Sliding

This guy gets it.

Because demanding freedom and liberty in your nation-state for your people is now a far right wing position.

I'm actually leftist, but I hate niggers.

this. in this order

Why would you think that

1. people on the internet are smarter. I'd say that they are just more open because of the anonymity

2. why is right-winged smarter then left-winged?

I would say the adults are in the minority here.

The real answer is that being right wing is seen as counter culture now.

No ability to form cohesive blocs unless tripfagging. This leads to hypercompetitiveness for what is truth and interesting and tends to lend itself to more feelings free discourse.

>anonymity
Look what happens on these boards. We make memes for the lulz, but in the meantime lots of things are discussed and thought through. I've had more interesting and deeper and smarter discussions in here than with PhDs in philosophy.

>why is right-winged smarter then left-winged?
see and

oh, okay, that sounds interesting. Why would you say that the adults are the minority here?

Also, while here right wing is seen as counter culture, don't you also think that this is changing very fast atm with the migration problem?

Why would imigration make us less of a counter culture?

The more they rape, kill and burn. The stronger we grow.

>Why would you say that the adults are the minority here?

Just from the general feel of the place really, especially since the election. I'm sure there are plenty of adults here though, I'm 27. It just seems to have a large amount of kids.

>don't you also think that this is changing very fast atm with the migration problem?

Yeah for sure. I think as the current generation grows up we will see a big swing to right in western countries. At the moment its still not quite mainstream.

Yeah, these interesting and smart discussions are also really nice to read but I can't agree with right-winged being the smarter politics.

The problem is that both politics are often misunderstood from the other side and if someone has a certain point of view, this person normally isn't really interested in learning why the other side thinks the way it does. Also, another problem for me in the current politics is the lack of reliable sources, because both sides tend to argue with personal experiences.

Are they constantly raping, killing and burning?

Do you think the big swing to right is something positive or negative?

Because you haven't been on Sup Forums.

Probably negative, but I can understand the reasons for it

Because we're rebels

Back in the Bush days Sup Forums was more left wing

>Back in the Bush days Sup Forums was more left wing

Not really left wing, maybe anarchist?

Yes, the source question is crucial if you want to know the facts. I thing today many right wing journals on the internet report what happens more fairly than leftist and normie journals.

But I think most people in here know exactly what the other side thinks. Look at the memes that are made constantly. Also, there are people like myself who used to be left wing, but come university and its cortege of left wing activists, I got quickly disgusted and became antileft, and thus pro-right. Which is why it's so self-evident to laugh at them and their zealous and insipid ideology.

why negative?

I think it is due to the kinds of discussions that happen here being repressed in other places, and once people start to discuss about certain topics and become aware they naturally turn what you are calling "right wing".

Sup Forums in general or just /pol
/pol is satire

hm, interesting point of view. Thanks for the answer. Also, I have a question about Sup Forums itself: why is this website seen as "the asshole of the internet" and specifically Sup Forums?

wait, what? Sup Forums is satire? Damn, I am a dumb fuck

because we do mean things

youtube.com/watch?v=MQEEJ57Gsow&list=PLHTeAiqTTlUiqrbi3SbxnmsizDignqgWp

They aren't Sup Forums. HWNDU trolls are the only remnants of Sup Forums here. The rest are crazies and idiots from abovetopsecret and infowars that found haven here.

4 Chan loves individual freedom and hates censorship for any reason. Anyone who acts against these is our enemy, and whomever is the tallest nail gets hammered first.

m8, have you been on Sup Forums? It used to be funny up until 2-3 years ago but now it's only traps and dick rate threads, and furry shite... But go there and request a Sup Forums thread, it's pretty funny and some are quite legendary.

>why is this website seen as "the asshole of the internet" and specifically Sup Forums?

well take a look at Sup Forums

>why is this website seen as "the asshole of the internet" and specifically Sup Forums?

Far too many reasons to list, although its not as bad as it used to be desu

Because the political left is an irrational gaggle that preys on the stupid, weak willed, and those who want to feel "involved" without actually doing anything.

Any thought, deep thought, leads a rational person away from leftist bullshit.

Yeah, but that post _on_/pol_ is satire too.

Alle Kreter lügen.

We hated Bush when he was in office too.

Sup Forums is always destined to be contrarian.

Being unfiltered means you can see the truth and it becomes more obvious by the day how the MSM distorts that truth.

Fucking love Internet Historian, his video about dashcon was legendary

well for some its satire
some view it as a news source (for the love of christ triplecheck everything you read here)
some are legit 1488 stormfags
most (thats a guess) are former centre-lefties that got called "nazi" so much they got fed up and fucked off

Pretty much. There are some here who are genuine white supremacists but most people just like saying controversial things.

Yeah, no. The right argues with numbers, then the left calls them racist.

pol thinks it has everything figured out and that they have the truth. Like all others have the truth. It's Bullshit lad, just follow what you think is right, things from left and right can be good.

Because the left have fucked the world
its time to stop

...

Sup Forums was libertarian/leftist during its first years. People were campaigning for freedom on the internet against wars and neo cons. Now the pendulum has swung the other side they are contrarian by nature most people here are losers with little to no contact with reality.

Pol is good if you want to shitpost or just make people angry but aside from that

Sup Forums believes in freedom of speech, the left wing is about censorship therefore we are right wing

I don't think it's really more right-wing than it was, but it is less libertarian. And if it stayed in the same spot left-right wise, the publicly acceptable opinion range definitely shifted way left of what it was, making 4ch seem more right-wing in contrast

>this picture
kek Sup Forums are whiteaboos confirmed

Sup Forums is a 21+ board faggot

Sup Forums is naturally contrarian because it's one of the few sites where ideas differing from the mainstream aren't suppressed by a ranking system.

The left wing doesn't need to come here to get their confirmation bias fix.

I think it's more of a question of the times. This place did much the same things it did back then, with dumb porn, free speech, and all the idiocy that comes with it. It just so happened that the right wing was in power, so free speech threatened them, and all that porn (particularly the loli and child porn that was more prominent back then) really upset them. Nowadays, it's the left wing that is more focused on censoring things. We have a videogame moral panic 2, a film moral panic 2, and an internet outrage moral panic 2.

The internet, much like every other form of media, is getting targeted the same way by the opposite side of the political spectrum for, once again, no real reason. It's just that the exploding van is now pepe is a hate symbol.

Because, when you are anonymous there is absolutely NO use for political correctness. Everyone can say what they know to be true without fear of being ostracized. The best ideas bubble to the top.

I would say we don't have too many minors as much as libertards that come here and slowly get converted, plebbit faggots and newfags in general

>mainstream media here in Germany is pretty left-winged
everything that isnt leftradical is "far right" for them.

In an open forum without control, the strongest and most ruthless ideologies and memes survive.

I guess that means that right-wing ideas are more logical and sustainable.

Sup Forums has more married men than the rest of the boards combined.

My guess is that the plurality of Sup Forumsacks are in their late 20s.

We are all just bots. Satire bots. Any more questions, faggot

What do you base this on?

I find it hard to believe

As an adult this is literally the last place on earth I can blow off stream and call people horrible and insensitive racial and sexual slurs.

>politics are misunderstood on both sides
I disagree. Many here despise leftwing politics because we know EXACTLY what they entail and the true purpose behind them.

>Sup Forums is inherently contrarian
Wrong. Sup Forums is consistently pro-self determination, whether individually or collectively. That's how authoritarian nationalism and libertarianism can coexist in peace.
>Sup Forums is full of losers
Maybe 10 years ago, but those losers grew up, got jobs, and are moving into positions of power. Some of us are in the Trump administration, some of us own businesses, and some of us are in the military.

Yeah same, I'm 27. I just feel like I would be in the minority here

Anyone who has cracked open a history book will become a white supremacist after reading it. It's impossible not to be, at least in the eyes of the Left.

There have been multiple surveys conducted, and even though the vast majority of them are shit, the pattern emerging over time is roughly 30% 18-24, 30% 25-35, 20% over 35, and 20% under 18.

These numbers are very rough, but clearly, there is a significant portion of the population that's older that the 18-24 demographic that dominates the rest of the site.

this, i use low key Sup Forums memes sometimes when shitposting on Facebook commentaries, you have no idea how old and sweet looking some faggots on this board is, not even expendable troll profiles either.

Counter culture. Since this place is anonymous it's the host for culturally unpopular opinions by default

Sup Forums has always been against the mainstream stuff. It's not that we switch side, just people from each part gets to be the louder according to the mainstream feelings. Sup Forums used to be leftist before Obama

because this isn't about getting fake internet points here

words and logic win

the right wins

...

Because Sup Forums (especially Sup Forums) is contrarian to the very core, that's the whole point of it.

a majority are definately between mid 20s and late 30s at this point, when Sup Forums started it was probly mostly 12-18 y/o edgelords on Sup Forums and it has since migrated to Sup Forums as the oldfag crowd got older and the posters that remain on Sup Forums are the newer generation late to the party who think Sup Forums is still cool and random and synonymous with reddit and its all camwhoring posts and hookup threads, really degenerate shit and not the old kind of degeneracy that it was originally like gore threads and raids

The right doesn't need to either yet they try real hard to create some sort of safe space here.

Because traditional values are the only form of subversiveness left now that left-wingers have turned everyone except christian straight white men into a protected class immune from criticism.

Lurk moar.

Why do left wing posters keep using the word "safe space" to describe Sup Forums? It never really made sense to me, you're allowed to display any political position here without being banned/shadowbanned/censored for doing it (unlike actual leftist safe spaces). Sure, you'll get (You)s from anons disagreeing with your political position/shitpost/shillpost, but that doesn't mean you're in a safe space for rightists, it means people disagree with you and (usually) proceed to tell you why your opinion is stupid/factually incorrect/shilling/whatever

It feels as if people forgot that democracy is about plurality of opinion, you can never get 100% approval in an actual democracy for anything
