So a social politics professor gave a lecture at my class today about anonymous internet culture and he literally mentioned Sup Forums and called it a "metamodernism" board.
So here's my question.
What is Sup Forums and why is it inherently politically right-wing?
Is "metamodernism" (whatever that is) an accurate description of this boards culture?
Or is "post-ironic" more applicable?
i don't even help my own kid with his homework
What the fuck is metamodernism?
>What is Sup Forums and why is it inherently politically right-wing?
Free speech allows us to speak our mind so we congregate here
Because the reigning ethos of Hollywood, the mass media, and the intelligencia (young and old) of the west is left wing to the point of blatant hipocrisy. We can all see the fate that's in front of us if we continue doen this path of left wing authoritarian war mongering and thougg policing.
Sure, most of the "troops" on this board are contrarians, but it's the duty of the supposedly redpilled members of the younger generation to prevent cultural assimilation to the absolute fucking nonsense that is left wing social justice neoliberalism.
Sup Forums shifts. During Bush it was lefty and dude weed. Now it's deus vult and gas kikes. What's next, I wonder. ..
write down "gas the kikes race war now"
Post-post-modernism.... or some shit. I dunno. This shit is all made up anyway.
Sup Forums wasnt even around during the bush years you literall newfag
>what is Sup Forums and why is it inherently right wing?
Fuck off
>Is "metamodernism" (whatever that is) an accurate description of this boards culture?
No because "metamodernism" is a non-word that's used to make social science majors feel like they're breaking new ground. It's not an ethos. It's not a new artistic movement. It's bullshit, something to describe post-1990's postmodernism, hack authors that try to blend in with the authenticity crowd while laying on thick their "irony" (think Franzen) and whatever stupid horseshit MFAs make. New Sincerity is the phraseyou're looking for, a rejection of modernist frustration and postmodernist resignation that realigns itself with what it means to be an actual human being while coping with the rapidly degrading/progressing institutions of society; something that denies, yet copes, with the supposed radical realignment of social relations and thoughts that technology brings and really seeks to understand human nature at its core.
>Or is "post-ironic" more applicable?
There is no post-irony. The very notion is ironic. Being self-aware is wholly ironic and noting the absurdity of calling someone you don't know a fucking faggot that climbs walls of dicks isn't "post-irony" or ironic, it's just bantz. It's simplifying, while preserving the complexity that is human interaction.
You're a fucking pseud and I hope you and your professor die
>there are people who actually take this board seriously
Your professor is a retard.
your a dorable
First it was Modernism
Then Post-Modernism
Then Metamodernism
Whats next?
Shits gay nigger
Quality thread you stupid faggot. This is how it dies, with you and your faggot professor.
>there are people who actually believe this board is satire
>Or is "post-ironic" more applicable?
Sardonically satirical.
Demand a refund on your tuition, why are you paying to listen to teachers talk about Cambodian felt puppet show shitposting boards?
>because:
right-wing = freedom
left-wing = slave
Why people choose to be slaves will always baffle me.
>What is Sup Forums
The last bastion of free speech.
>and why is it inherently politically right-wing?
It's not, it just seems to be because unlike everywhere else people a) aren't afraid to say things and b) don't get banned when they do.
There are tons of lefties and centrists here but because the right wingers are so prominent compared to everywhere else it stands out.
The rest of your questions are pot modernist rubbish, it's just a somewhat light hearted board because that makes it more fun.
one can only imagine
If your professor is adding even more prefixes to modernism he's probably a fucking Jew.
Populism under no threat to the freedom of speech except of keeping it relevant to the board in question. Once you understand that you can understand how a culture of dominant opinions on a populist board escorted by unbarred opinions can easily be dismantled. It's simply a struggle of populist opinion versus managed(government) opinion.
>Last place with true free speech
>almost entirely Right wing
...really makes you think
>What is Sup Forums and why is it inherently politically right-wing?
Most places on the internet aside from ribbit, normiebook, and snowflake central are right wing or at least radically against the establishment.
>Is "metamodernism" (whatever that is) an accurate description of this boards culture?
Kind of, but your social politics professor probably has no clue what the fuck Sup Forums even is aside from what he has heard from the ever trustworthy people at Huffpo.He probably thinks we are completely ironic. Still metamodernism is a kind of new concept, and they are kind of right based on what I know.
>Or is "post-ironic" more applicable?
As far as I can tell metamodernism tends to revolve around a certain amount of post-ironic humor.
Sup Forums is a neo-con board
Because /new/ half aborted step brother took after it albeit with less moderation and 100x more shitposts
>What is Sup Forums and why is it inherently politically right-wing?
Because it's a normie attractor to keep the rest of Sup Forums clean.
Basically it is the overtly pretentious word that means against post-modernism.
Reactionary opinions due to the strength of becoming liberated from the left's mighty grip on politics for the last 8 years.
>Because it's a normie attractor to keep the rest of Sup Forums clean
That's what they say about Sup Forums, Sup Forums, and god knows what other boards.
>there are people who actually believe that traps are not gay
Think about it this way. We ACT like post-modernists, but we are modernists.
Tell your professor he is a faggot and borrowing phrases from half assed Jew York Times articles doesn't make him intelligent.
Because anonymity.
Because, joking aside, being right is much more about differentiation as resolve of rivalry.
And identity is for the left.
which is more possible?
OP is a notorious faggot
OP and professor are conspicuous faggots
i'm asking for a friend.
FP Underrated
>What's next, I wonder. ..
Dude, weed and GTK
we've been in ironic seriousness or new sincerity as calls it for a couple years now
...
post-ironic*
obviously
Sup Forums is a place where you can be honest and really dive into all sorts of ideas. "Right-wing" thoughts and ideologies thrive in environments like this.
"Left-wingers" have to resort to communicating on places like reddit where there are moderators working 24/7 to maintain the agenda.
Yes, there are mods on Sup Forums, but it's a different kind of moderation that they do. Your post doesn't get deleted because its offensive or too far out there. For the most part (99.99% of threads and posts) mods let the ideas grow naturally and don't enforce an agenda. They are mostly here to make sure nothing illegal is posted, and occasionally to ban people for mentioning 8ch.
other way around bub
I call this strain, Prussian Blue...makes Hitler speeches really POP maaan
Tell your professor he doesn't understand what is going on here
>during Bush
not even Sup Forums's father, /new/ was around during Bush.
>What is Sup Forums and why is it inherently politically right-wing?
Because people can discuss facts without any sort of bias.
fpbp
it is being so abstract in thought that you've come full circle to thinking like a basic drunk rube
>What is Sup Forums and why is it inherently politically right-wing?
Sup Forums is a haven for free speech the world over.
political correctness--the attempted steering of people away from the realities and truths of our culture on a sociological scale is something that inspires resistance. this is a place to openly resist.
>Is "metamodernism" (whatever that is) an accurate description of this boards culture?
i guess that's one way to put it. it's an obfuscated term. it's self-indulgent in the context of modern politics.
>Or is "post-ironic" more applicable?
i don't understand why this would be applicable at all. we're not hipsters, we aren't being ironic. we're not inspired or compelled by a past sense of irony. the ideology of the general consensus of this board is the sum of publicly repressed political perspective.
niggers.
In a free market of ideas the right will always win. Leftists only "win" when they censor everything that isn't leftist.
Both sound like meme names.
Pol is a reducto ad absurdum of society at large.
No matter how fringe a person thinks they are, someone on here will try to outdo them, hence why flat earthers exist.
As a result Sup Forums is an agregate of every sort of fringe lunacy that can be found in society.
The net result is that regular users become desensitized to most forms of pursuasion, partisularly emotion based.
This leads to users becoming jaded and generally detached from society at large.
This lifestyle is fundamentally incompatible with most forms of leftist ideology which the collective above the individual.
Therefore the right wing tendencies are mostly reactionary in nature, hence the even mix of nazis and libertarians.
Basically Sup Forums isn't so much pro right, as it is anti left
and "Hitler did nothing wrong".
>Is "metamodernism" (whatever that is) an accurate description of this boards culture?
Yes.
>Or is "post-ironic" more applicable?
They both apply.
>Sup Forums agrees with shit like Marxism and moral relativism, but rejects the movements which created fascism
I am pretty sure Sup Forums isn't post-modernist
Is this a script that they give to shitty leftist raiders? I've heard a couple different people say this exact thing despite all available evidence contradicting it, do they really think nobody has been here for more than a few years?
Also, to answer OPs question, I heard it best on Sup Forums,
Any forum you create without heavy moderation will inherently swing right. Lefty politics rely heavily on censorship and without people being silenced for being "racist" and shit like that, you're bound to have a right wing board.
Shills are here.
read his posts.
HEY, OP, READ THERE WAS ORIGINAL RESEARCH PERFORMED ON POLITICALLY CORRECT ABOUT THE ELECTION.
Its not the hine et al paper, you should read it, its better
>archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/52880502/
Ugh this again. Been proven, any place where speech is free and uncensored becomes right wing, because left wing ideology cannot exist without censoring opposing opinions.
The only reason the sanitized internet is left wing is because anything that doesnt go along with their ideology is censored and banned.
people cant handle freedom
when they get it the vast majority squander it and end up lost so they look for leadership
The opinions expressed on Sup Forums are largely a collection of those that have been purged from everywhere else. The worlds least popular thoughts and ideas, concentrated and compressed.
There's not much sympathy for the right so much as it is disdain for the entire establishment.
We've learned through Tucker that professors are some of the stupidest people walking the earth. Just get a good grade and get out.
Dont be depressed your whole life. Join the right wingers and you will be happy.
There is alot of leftist here. They are the ones starting the bait threads. Its getting lame that we are getting alot more attention from the media. Fuck them, their goal will try to create a narrative that all right wingers are racist - go to Sup Forums you can see for yourself. We are not racist we are not political correct. We are tired of that shit.
Hi /leftypol/
It's not just Sup Forums, it's everyone. You stupid left wingers always side with chaos because you're stupid and useless to make it in a civilized society.
Kill yourselves. All of you.
EVERYTHING is inherently right-wing unless there are controls and censorship in place.
>Be me.
>Work hard your entire life.
>Accumulate comfort. Security. Happiness.
>Then politicians and lazy-asses want to take more from you because muh race.
It doesn't work.
a lot of " us " were considered liberal / libertarian during the dubya and obama years
around 2008 / OWS going to shit we neckbeards / edgy fucks got booted out of the left and many of us became " reactionaries "
metamodernism is pretentious as fuck, not going to bother with your professor's semantics on that one but no we are not inherently right wing it's just the natural direction many young men have and will be driven to
post-ironic implies this place isn't filled with irony, to understand what the fuck is actually going on here you'd need to have spent a decent chunk of your youth here
Yes it was, it was just a different board called /news/, for discussing current events
and it was filled with mostly RON PAUL libertarians and stormfront racists. Not even clever or funny racists, just whiny losers endlessly spamming shit about the lesser races and graphs. There weren't many memes or OC, and every attempt to discuss any topic went to shit
so it got deleted for a few years and resurrected as politically incorrect. No longer attempting to be a place for serious discussion, it flourished as a different thing
Think of Sup Forums as a giant melting pot of political ideologies, where all facts and shit get mixed together constantly and only the strongest survive.
It's no coincidence that right wing ideologies (namely libertarianism) have survived to become the norm.
>wtf is metamodernism?
>Postmodernism was reaction to Modernism.
>Metamodjism is reaction to Postmodraycism.
Just another -ism pushed to scare people and make them think it's bad.
Always here for you
not quite this
but this.
on Sup Forums you can argue anything you want, nobody is going to stop you. If you get your facts wrong however, youll get BTFO and if your argument isnt completely sound youll be ridiculed and laughed out
after years of this, what you have is Sup Forums. right wing, traditionalist and christian. because every other option has been outed as not as good or just straight up detrimental to society
post ironic is just unironic
I really hate how uncreative politics is with naming shit, everything is an -ism or -modernism or -phobe and every scandal is a -gate, generation X, Y, Z
Creativity is dead
Online forums with No moderation/thought control of ideas & no faggy points will become conservative and swing right
user's Law
Funny how talk radio, where anyone can anonymously call in, tends to be "right wing" too. Same with the comments sections of articles.
>meta
self-referential
I guess it means a self-influential amorphously unique ideology, immune to outside interference.
Trying to define what it is by saying that they don't know what it is
>Places with no censorship, little moderation and anonymity, like Sup Forums, are right wing.
>Sites with heavy moderation, sometimes accounts, and a lot of censorship like reddit and neogaf left wing
huh, funny that? Just a coincidence Im sure.
I don't think you are a regular here. Lurk more.
Creativity has never existed.
Every single physical landmark is either named something descriptive or the name of the person who discovered it. Foreign things just sound exotic until you learn what the name means in the native language
>dey were whiny losers
>stormfront had any real sway
/leftypol/ you're not convincing anyone.
Literally buying into the old meme the JIDF tried to sell as part of their divide and conquer campaign.
Retard.
They now that people, in general, are lazy. Rather than look up facts they gobble up spoonfed garbage. That obviously false narrative is now undisputed fact to some faggot.
>Christian
Sup Forums isn't Christian, it's tolerated but it sure as fuck isn't endorsed
*know
>Every single physical landmark is either named something descriptive or the name of the person who discovered it
Except that actually makes sense, and what the fuck else would you call physical land marks? Some completely meaningless made up shit like "Laquisha"?
Im talking about "gamergate" or "pizzagate", it's fucking stupid adding the gate suffix
>why is Sup Forums right wing?
Because there is free speech here. Retards get proven wrong and either adapt or leave.
Postmodernism is Marxist garbage found in SJW and other libby cockwash. It's the idea objective truth is bullshit because everything, even science, is all just interpretation - everything. Nobody can ever really know truth because we're all just making up bullshit anyway, so we should and can just think whatever we want.
Pol is "right wing" because "right wing" now stands for being a decent and non degenerate person.
You see, lefties are all about degeneracy now a days. Without it, their ideologies crash and burn. Now what goes hand and hand with pushing an ideology such as the lefties push? What really fuels their movement to such a degree? Virtue Signaling.
What doesn't work when no one knows who is virtue signaling? Globalist leftie ideologies. Now, the reason why these don't work, is because the left tends to use prominent figures in their movement. Take George Fagei for example. Even though its been stated dozens of times that he doesn't control his own twitter feed, it still continues to virtue signal at such an alarming rate and effectiveness. Why? Because of his name and the weight it carries.
People see these "elite" members of a movement, and often parrot their talking points, or as better defined as buzzwords. They parrot this in every corner of the internet while tied to a username or some type of account. Their attempt is to make their social media account, a prominent member of their movement. They won't ever debate, and they won't ever back down. They rely heavily on other members of their social party to back them up, and shout down the person questioning their ideologies. They revert back to these buzzword to seem intelligent, and often derail the topic at hand, into something they can easily parrot.
Now enter a place with no account, no identity, and you're forced to back up your ideology with facts and proper dialog. They can't. Their thought process shuts down, and they attempt to revert back to using insulting buzzwords, or derail the topic. They don't have followers to back them up, they don't have their little army to attack and derail the conversation. Because if they post dumb shit, they'll either be ignored, or they'll get spammed with being called a nigger, faggot, or some other slur they hate.
Their ideology can't take the heat.
What's to take seriously?
It only elected a president
+1 rep
>Plurality of truths
someone post that screenshot that sums up what you just said. you know the one.
only someone pretentious enough to use a non-word like metamodernism would call Sup Forums Right Wing or associate it with any political faction.
>What is Sup Forums and why is it inherently politically right-wing?
because there's almost no censorship
>there are people who actually believe black lives matter
Literally the ONLY leftie I have seen who has actually done a semi-decent job of debate and backing up his ideologies was this faggot at Berkeley. He stuck to his ideology and didn't revert back to the crowd for assistance when Tim Pool and others destroyed his thought process. He stuck with it, gave his side of the stance, his facts, his sources, and didn't back down.
This man, as wrong as I personally believe him to be, did a better job then 99% of the lefties. I have more respect for this faggot, then the entire Democratic party combined.
Pls practice writing before posting here again
