Why can’t liberals understand Sup Forums?

Why can’t liberals understand Sup Forums?

because they start with the conclusion of 'Sup Forums is bad' and then right their analysis of it from that point of view

I can't say it's not reasonable - i'm sure i would find it difficult to browse commie/leftist tumblr/reddit pages and come away from it with a neutral stance

Also Sup Forums has a strong and fairly unique culture that takes quite a while to actually get to grips with - there's a reason why one of the most enduring phrases used on the site is >lurk more

They need to lurk moar

Nagle is a commie. I wouldn't say she's terribly wrong about anything, but having the beliefs she does she lacks any sort of spirit. At least in public.

>op is a newfag
When did pol become the default board of Sup Forums? You faggots ruined it by making it about right politics and not about general trolling and fucking around.

Well they are talking about politics on the fucking cover.

cry moar

Did you buy and scan? Kinda want to read the heathens words.

Liberal here

I understand Sup Forums

I talked to a high-profile liberal in my state the other day - she legit referenced a book that tries to break-down and 'give reason' to the Donald Trump voter. They simply can't understand. They're so fucking disconnect, despite their education, their experience, their connections. Their worldview simply isn't compatible with ours. Remember this.

>When did pol become the default board of Sup Forums?
Some time ago.

Because an environment where you can say and do as you please terrifies them.

>kill all normies
but thats exactly what Sup Forums was before the influx of reddit
t. oldfag

Because they are enlightened intellectuals and they don't want us to go back 70 years, they that want freedom, freedom to have any gender they want, and freedom to take money directly from our pockets to fund their non working voter base.

this book was laughably bad she didn't even try browsing here it was all secondary sources

When le epic memes started coming from here instead of Sup Forums

spbp

>normies
When r9k is still despised, yet simultaneously became chique?

They come in with a bias. This place is so diverse that there is no single disgusting target. /K/ is different from. Sup Forums which is different from Sup Forums you get the point.

Sup Forums isn't even United

Sums it up.

/thread

Does anyone really understand Sup Forums?

People generally just take parts of cultures they don't like and co-opt them even if they dislike them

It's something blacks have been crying about white people doing all the time via whitewashing, but it is real to some degree in all cultures.

Also the idea of normie has a real appeal to a generation of people who were raised on the special snowflake, everyone gets a trophy, helicopter parenting types.

Think about it, anyone who isn't in your circle is a 'normie' and isn't as cool, intellectual, or nuanced as you are. Of course that shit was going to catch on.

The problem with /r9k/ is that enough normies picked up their board culture that they actually felt at home there and drowned out the original posters of the board - so now the normies who just use it as an internet hangout dont really value it, and the original posters have been supplanted hate it too

>t. someone who cares way too much about internet dynamics

The same reason they don't understand anything. They are all narcissists who think they already know everything about anything important, refuse to learn, refuse to reassess, and absolutely refuse to lurk.

>kill all normies

What did this city living latte sipping cunt mean by this?

Same here. Pol is pretty easy to understand.

God damn it, I posted the wrong pic. Not that anyone will believe me with my flag.

Yes I keep this in my folder

theres a reason why encyclopedia dramatica reads like Sup Forums moral fag

imo, Sup Forums became the default Sup Forums board because Sup Forums is too lewd for most normal people. They don't want traps/gorethreads/etc on their computer screen

Because for "free thinking" individuals their range of acceptable ideas is very narrow and anything that falls outside said range is wayciss or heretic
Hence why they have such a hard time debating anyone who doesn't rip their talking points off the Daily Show or other late night comedy shows

Once they understand Sup Forums they're no longer liberals.

They just want to sell sensationalist books to gullible cattle.

Because Sup Forums is nothing but cocks now days.

Hi Angela Fuck off. Nobody wants your shitty book.

When lefties tried to co-opt the entire site and Sup Forums became the last line of defense before the elections fired up. I used to troll and shitpost more often, but when you start realizing that actual idiots dont know certain things are a joke and they misrepresent things in a way that is detrimental to you, you grow up a bit more as a person with responsibility for everything you say and do.

>internet dynamics
You could go back further and look at punk vs nu-punk, emos vs goths, etc. Outsider cliques becoming mainstream and contradictions of their original premises.

This. Any liberal friends I had (past tense) would always say “oh those idiot hicks just need more education” as if that was the defining factor in their ideological differences.

>This place is so diverse that there is no single disgusting target.
>Sup Forums isn't even United
Pretty much this.

We have national socialist, libertarians, communists, fascists, anarchists, liberals, Canadians, etc. all ideologically competing with each other. Anonymity has given us freedom of speech and the dialectic method has shaped our world views.

The one thing that I find fucking hilarious is that the only thing that all of the anons with different convictions can agree on is that the Jews are a problem.

No one cares about Sup Forums anymore, so Sup Forums is now Sup Forums's most popular board.

this isnt Sup Forums you fucking retard

...

I used to browse Sup Forums in the mid 2000s then quit Sup Forums altogether for a long while. Then I started browsing Sup Forums again, and then I decided to see what Sup Forums was like now. I don't go to Sup Forums anymore.

Lurk more used to be said more, because now Sup Forums culture has infused a lot of the internet, and to a much greater extent the language of Sup Forums has.
But of course Sup Forums culture is not all over the internet, and basically nowhere in real life, so maybe this represents the first step of already out-of-date female-centric sociology encountering Sup Forums. It won't get anywhere, of course. Excessive solipsism prevents them from understanding of a totally different, mostly new, environment of experience.

don't even get me fucking started on emos lad

the 'emo' trend that most people would point to in the early 2000s wasn't even Emo music or emo culture.

That picture is very accurate, i love it. Internet communities and how the tie into real life genuinely fascinate me.

It has nothing to do with the porn, prime Sup Forums was covered in porn still. There is just zero actual content on Sup Forums now. It's literally just porn now.

Sup Forums still has more posts per hour, along with a whole bunch of other boards, but your comment accurately describes Sup Forums culture

Yes they would get it but they would have to invest a minimum of 5 years lurking

Book was shit. Even /leftypol/ admitted it was a misunderstanding of chan culture.

Because it's not a left wing echo chamber and anything other than communism triggers lefties, commies assume Sup Forums is right wing, which is why /leftypol/ exists.

Basically, commies are 2 year olds.

Sup Forums is united on one thing though... Pajeets are the laughingstock of the planet.

Cuck

This. I listened to an interview with Nagle and she talks about how she say "horrible cruelty" at Sup Forums, but then her unique contribution is to qualify it by saying "but... here's why it's happening and it's because of social forces and dissatisfaction that is valid in some way, blah blah".

These people can't admit that Sup Forums is liberating in exactly the way these leftists are supposed to be in favor of. The Sup Forums ecosystem is the closest thing to a left-anarchism in action. No identity except what you choose to present, no concept of property, and the attitude I see is not one of "hatred" as these people are forced to say, but of good-natured humor. That's what makes it appealing - because it's free, and the attitude is positive. But even these "older leftists" like Nagle who are supposedly more smart than SJWs can't bring themselves to admit this.

pretty much, and i'd tie that into why r9k fell apart

Sup Forums, as you said has always been a male centric place, in terms of ideology and sociology, but go and look at /r9k/ now

Despite being known as the 'hates women' board, there are numerous 'fembot' threads, unironic female posting, avataring and absolute utter gynocentrism (hundreds of 'why dont you get a gf, why arent you having sex , etc threads)

And the board culture has absolutely crumbled and is hated by literally all other boards as a result

And we all hate meme flags.

About the only thing we do all agree on

I will continue to use a meme flag as long as we don't have state flags.

i mean Sup Forums is definitely harshly critical and the way people talk here could very easily be interpreted as hateful - i mean, there are frequent unironic posts advocating genocide, that cant be read any other way really

but the point is the site is free. You can say gas the jews, you can say kill all whites, you can say what the fuck ever but you actually need to back up your point or you will get thoroughly blown the fuck out

on other sites so many people are able to fall back on 'oh but i feeeeeel this way, and my opinion is my opinion' and then you cant say anything more because you're 'harassing'

Leftists (modern lefists) hate this though, because despite the fact using the term 'liberal' heavily - they're about as far from it as is possible. I literally dont know of a Western country where the left wing party is less authoritarian than the conservative/right wing one. the Left wing is more authoritarian and controlling than ever

cancer

>using the term 'liberal' heavily
would you say they use it...liberally?
