I'm sorry for the shit image quality, but does anyone remember when this website was considered "far left" years ago?

How the hell did our politics change so much in such little time, guys? I'm genuinely curious.

nothing changed, the far left went further left.

The foundations for (y)our politics to change have been in play for quite some time, user. We took too long to wise up to them.

neither end of the political spectrum is pro-war; when the nation is falling apart. what you mean by "far left" is "anti-neocon"

Sup Forums has always been counter-culture.

when leftism became the dominant culture, naturally Sup Forums moved right.

I have been here since 2007 and I don't really think this site was ever 'far left'. Bill O'Reilly is just an old man pearl-clutcher

Good question OP. Shit Sup Forums itself is so different now. Sup Forums is bigger than Sup Forums and years ago that would be unthinkable that there would be a board bigger than Sup Forums.

it was considered far left because fox decided it was. Like how are we far left when we were larping as blackface negroes in habbo screaming nigger all over the place and hailing hitler and telling women to get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich tits or gtfo etc. sideboards got created specifically because of rampant gunporn and politics. The place was never far left except for when m00t went full pussy

that was the height of neocon era - it was just transitioning to Obongo
during the Dem power shift it went further right.

Then again, it's always had that right-wing racism *ggot hate speech stuff so by most standards it was always "right-wing"

We grew out of hyper liberalism for the most part. Conservatives back then were also all about video game and internet censhorship so Sup Forums fucked with conservatives a lot

He was talking about Sup Forums. This is Sup Forums, you fucking kike.

>one talking head calls it far left
>wewuz commies n sheeit
Saged

This. Hating Bush and making fun of 'We'll do it live' man doesn't make you Left. Then again, Sup Forums was far more apolitical back then.

This was aired when Sup Forums meant Sup Forums.

Sup Forums are pure degenerates, which O'Reilly construed as "far-left", but really just pedos, trolls, nihilists, and edgelords with no particular political direction.

Sup Forums was intended by Moot to be a containment board. Since Sup Forums split off, the right leaning political movement went with it. Hence our current situation.

It was never far left. The media just thought anyone who hated bush had to be left wing.

We've always been racist

Habbo raids, club penguin, gigga nigga, Chargin ma lasers, last page and I'm free, shiiiiiiit etc

It was never far left

Sup Forums used to have lots of pro-atheist & and anti-religion posts but there was tonnes of racism and every other *ism the left cries about. People posted lots of shit about Bush (then McCain & Palin) but a lot of it was about religion and the thought of 'moral majority' types censoring stuff rather than an actual support for left wing politics.

This.

Sup Forums is a counter culture website composed of social rejects or exemplary rebellious individuals that feel a need o communicate and socialize for the individual and beyond the ego composed of social acceptance of the norm.

To be fair Sup Forums was never really far left though, O'Reily just wanted to paint it as such to try and make yet another hit piece.

Sup Forums only openly became far right first as an aggregate for libertarian talking points, which isn't bizarre considering the anonymity and allowance of vulgarity that makes the site essential and special is rooted in that principal.

Then as the far left exploded into the mainstream emboldened by the election of Obama, it grew to represent the antithesis of that as it felt threatened by the policing of culture.

Sup Forums will always be rightist as it expressively promotes the individuals right to free speech, something that even the Nazi posters tend to argue for. Since the sites culture is rooted into free speech, it will remain rightist as a survival mechanism, because the site will die once policing of tone rather than topic is introduced.

Everyone on Sup Forums just grew up and got into politics, hence Sup Forums.

Yeah. Sup Forums are underdeveloped children, people without any direction or idea about the society they want to live in.

The Left uses things and then when they are done they start calling them Right Wing.
1. Nazis
2. KKK
3. Sup Forums
Antifa is their next victim. Soon they will be called right wing.

I wanna see where people got the idea we werent. Cognitive dissonance or newfags being told by dangerhairs about some liberal utopian past this site had.

>unironically this

Half of Sup Forums threads openly espouse Sup Forums beliefs.

Sup Forums is the gateway to Sup Forums for those not interested in politics, by exposure they grow into Sup Forums.

>free speech
>rightist

4-chan was left-wing back in the day because it was the conservatives, not the liberals, attacking free speech. Remember "muh violent vidya"?

I think we'll just be against whoever wants to shut us up, whether on the left or on the right.

We were never left. Mainstream media is
>Biased
>Retarded
>Fake

In a liberal/libertarian way.

Try to find the massive amount of posts with major agreement that nigger couldn't be said and that communism was the way to go. Sup Forums was never politically right wing, just criticizing the right that try to espouse moralism onto others with no justification other than 'muh decency' and 'muh children.'

People on this board used to make fun of newfags who argued from the left/right paradigm.

Now look at you fags.

I was 15/16 back then and I was admittedly pretty liberal myself, but I still got a lot of very uncomfortable/guilty laughs out of the racist and off-color humor. Eventually I just embraced it and now I'm on Sup Forums.

It's accurate enough. I wish it included Nationalism/Globalism and Progressive/Conservative.

>muh violent vidya
You mean Hillary?

I bet by 2020 pol will be liberal again

He's talking about Sup Forums which is still super degenerate.

Sup Forums is where Sup Forumstards migrated once the lulz went away.

See >believing in a right and left
>not seeing the uniparty for what it is
Sup Forums will always be third party. It's why we rooted for Ron Paul and doubly why we rooted for Donald Trump. The outsider will always get support here.
>muh Gary Johnson
Gary is an actual idiot who thought he could win on DUDE WEED LMAO

This. Being liberal isn't necessarily the problem. It's being a leftist that can't properly debate and has no tolerance for a difference in opinion that became the problem.

This.

clearly saying it just to make the site look bad.

>implying Bill Oreily ever knew what the fuck he was talking about.

Far left and far right are just names to demonize someone. Sup Forums has always been nationalistic and contrarian. And there has always been a large number of right wing as well as left wing ready to fight it out here.

that girl is mexican

Sup Forums just didn't like Bush or neocohen wars. Funny thing is, we still don't, but now we're considered far right.

Other than the user base getting older, Sup Forums hasn't really changed that much in the lady decade, but politics has. Bush-era cuckservatism is dead in the water.

it was the same politics. anti neocon, anti neoliberal, pro free speech

The way I see it, the left sided with zoe whatshername gamergate grill. Then the drama with moot occurred. An ideological split occurred around then and since then Sup Forums replaced Sup Forums in popularity and Sup Forums had become known as a far right wing site despite most boards beings politically neutral.

Sup Forums will always be populated by the worlds worst off. These days its red state right wingers.

It never was you silly fuck wit
