Has anyone noticed that any attempt at rational discussion in Sup Forums is getting flooded with shit-posting? The alt-right are now spending copious time and effort in an attempt to shut down any kind of dialogue. I feel like I'm living in Pol Pot's Cambodia, where anti-intellectual hysteria means wearing glasses can get you killed.
This is really starting to snowball quickly. IMDB just announced they're shutting down their comment boards, for example, because they've been so swarmed with racist, shit-posting Trumplorables that no one can actually discuss films or TV shows. Many newspapers and blogs have already turned off their public comments for exactly the same reason.
Slowly but surely the alt-right are destroying public discussion as a prelude to actual fascism.
Cameron Cook
Wow an intelligent person on Sup Forums, how rare.
Michael Ramirez
why are you on Sup Forums looking for rational or even intellectual discussion? It's not the alt-right either, this is Sup Forums, expect actual autists
Isaac Reyes
The right is going to crash and burn
Cameron Watson
Didn't used to be. There was a time not that many years ago when I could refresh the front page of Sup Forums and always find two or three interesting threads by people who could spin entertaining yarns about their lives or their experiences. Now I can go all day without seeing a single interesting thread, and if one does appear it's flooded off the bottom page in minutes by a tsunami of cancer of shitposting.
Joshua Walker
>Many newspapers and blogs have already turned off their public comments >the alt-right are destroying public discussion
That's not what that means. It means public forums are closing to stifle public opinion that they disagree with. Just because your opinion is in the minority now doesn't mean the other side is "destroying" the internet. Cuck.

Everything you're observing is a very deliberate effort on the part of the so-called alt-right. Luckily, the trick is wearing thin and people are becoming more aware of it.
That said, remove your head from your ass and stop thinking that Sup Forums is a place where you're going to get any kind of rational discourse. This place is flooded with racists and edgelords who want to watch the world burn. This is the only place these kinds of cretins can get a word in edgewise so they exploit it as much as possible.

Rational discussion being turned down on Sup Forums? Shit when did this start happening
Dominic Hall
Except Sup Forums *WAS* a place where subversive discussion not only happened but was celebrated. It's always some alt-right neanderthal who pipes up with "Sup Forums was never good" when people talk about what it used to be like here. I've been here since the very beginning, but there's always some alt-right goon claiming I'm a "newfag" and trying to rewrite history, claiming that Sup Forums has always been a Stormfag jamboree of shit-posting and hatmongering.

Brandon Adams
For every alt righter there is a equally retarded hillbot. Both sides are filled with retards, both sides are wrong on a lot of things. At the end of the day America has the leader it deserves, Trump is America personified.

Well, this is /b after all...its always been like this. That said, the vitriol the alt right is spewing can only get them so far. After a while when their ignorance manifests itself into public policy, eg banning refugees, the courts can and will step in to put an end to it all. This has already shown to be the case. I consider myself EXTREMELY lucky to be living in Canada. That type of extreme right wing hate mongering just isnt widely accepted up here. There have been multiple attempts for it to make its way into the mainstream of Canadian politics. Everytime it has been resoundingly defeated at the ballot box
Logan Brown
I was not attempting to make an argument on the basis that your character makes your view wrong. I was insulting you. That is not an "ad hominem argument," you mouth-breathing Dunning-Kruger Trumplorable subnormal.

That said, we all need something to distract ourselves from this mess of a country today. If a hypnotic, dominating daddy telling you to take a pull on nitrites does it, then hey: Self-care comes in all forms.

Exactly my point... Instead of positing any sort of actual argument, the leftist instead immediately defaults to ad hominem.
Camden Roberts
So you don't think refugees are any sort of security risk. Even knowing one of the paris attackers gained entry to France, by posing as a refugee.
Isaac Watson
You're right. They should light shit on fire. Pepper spray people. Assault someone with a metal pipe. Far superior to hurting your feelings. >Hate speech thats just what people like you call words you don't like.

No, Hate speech is speech that attacks, threatens, or insults a person or group on the basis of national origin, ethnicity, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.
Angel Baker
Since Trump won I'm really quite surprised at just how much of Sup Forums is populated by left wingers.

You clearly know very little of the history of such attacks in france. They have been happening for decades during the break up of their colonial empire. This one was just the latest. Can you point to one single instance of a refugee comitting a terrorist act in murica?
O'Learly is an opportunist, but a smart one at that. While I have not looked much into his positions in the cluster fuck that is the conservative leadership race, he clearly hasnt taken up the xenophobic mantres of Kellie Leach. That would undoubtedly cause a major stir in the race to be sure
Matthew Sanders

Bentley Harris
Do you ever get tired of lying? Just straight-up lying? Sorry, I meant "using alternative facts"? I would think that making every word out of my mouth a lie would make me exhausted after a while from the sheer effrontery and moral debasedness, but I guess someone with as little respect for truth as you have would have a much higher tolerance for evil.
Daniel Turner
Which universe are you in? It's always the left who shut down accounts, throw riots to stop gay conservatives talking and censor media. If you try to talk to a leftist the first response is some shitty buzzword and a block if it's online. Hell, even you just responded to a guy who replied with a normal articulated response with "Speak of the devil" and some derailing image, hypocrite
Andrew Smith
I take it the alt right is anyone who disagrees with you
Zachary Reed
The point is, that I think discussion between people with different political opinions is good, but if someone is insulted, it's not good. And by insulted I don't mean triggered like in the memes.
Joseph Miller
Notnthe dude you arw replying to, but anarchism is retarded as fuck. Anarcho capitalism especially. I mean you fucks think you'll take away law and everyone will step in line with what you think? You don't think people will start killing each other?

Carson Collins
People are not afraid to use free speech. "Hate speech" isnt always hate. Examples: >Not hate speech Homosexual behavior is wrong and disgusting.
>hate speech You stupid faggot! You are gross!
liberal's political correctness is failing and will end soon. It is what every decent person wants. It was just a method to stifle the right's opinion.
Robert Watson
>you fucks think you'll take away law and everyone will step in line with what you think? No, actually, we don't. The word "anarchy" comes from the Greek "anarkos" which means, literally, "without rulers." It does not mean without rules, without laws, or disorder. Early US communities, for example, were anarchic: rules and laws were decided by simple majority show of hands at town hall meertings. There are many, many forms of anarchism, but none of them involve an absence of laws.

The institutions that are common place in democacies like America, Canada, Brittan, etc simply were not in place in germany during hitlers time. Germany was a freshly shattered empire after WWI it just so happens that hitler was the one who picked up the peices. The real question here is, could it happen again today? I am leaning towards no
Jeremiah Harris
It's because the "alt-right" have become tired of faggy progressive nonsense, and are starting to troll the shit out of them. Plain and simple.
But you're mistaken in them trying to "shut down any kind of dialogue". That's not the case at all, you have it backwards.
The sites that are shutting down their comment boards are LITERALLY the ones shutting down the dialogue, which is why the right are doing this in the first place.
Faggy libtards are alway trying to censor the right, and bar free speech by labeling it "hate speech" because of "muh feelings".
Guess what, snowflakes. You can't silence us anymore, and closing down boards, and trying to stop people from saying things you don't like is only going to make you look like the real fascists, thus bringing more people to our side.
It's been said a million times, and I'll say it again: THIS IS WHY TRUMP GOT ELECTED.
You are the reason he is in office right now. Because the country is getting sick and tired of your bullshit. You're 100% to blame, and you're argument of us being the ones censoring people is completely, and utterly ass-backwards.
Please, keep crying. Your tears fuel our train, and there are no breaks on it.

So since you talked about Pol Pot and Cambodia here are some lyrics from Holiday in Cambodia, a song about college educated liberals pretending to know the struggles of others and complaining while having it so we'll,
So, you've been to school For a year or two And you know you've seen it all In daddy's car Thinking you'll go far Back east your type don't crawl
Playing ethnicky jazz To parade your snazz On your five-grand stereo Braggin' that you know How the niggers feel cold And the slum's got so much soul
So please tell me. What has happened to you that genuinely reflects life in Pol Pot Cambodia?
Eli Collins
I don't even care to disagree. I consider what you say as total bullshit, but sincerely hope you're going to be right in the end
Tyler Thompson
There's been racial division in France for decades, no shit I've seen La haine. But its a fact that one of the Paris attackers was posing as a refugee. It hasn't happened in America, again no shit. They haven't let that many in. But having a bunch of refugees cpme into the country is just some humanitarian bullshit it doesn't actually help the host nation in anyway. It does no good to import a bunch of uneducated, unhinged, extreme social conservatives into the country. They will not make society better.

alt-right children are a waste of time. the ones who are too deep in their cute little faux rebellion phase shouldn't be argued with. literally all their sad lives are being wasted on is trolling, and this is coming from someone who wasted a significant amount of time trolling back in high school. these guys take it to the next level of obnoxious disregard for fact and morality
and yet, it's all so trite and boring. I can predict their entire cycle of arguments because their weak, indefensible stances are so transparently the result of watching 15 minutes of a youtube video uploaded by "jewenstein shekelberg" yet it's hammered into them as a deeply held belief central to their identity
Sad!

Hate speech is not an opinion, it is hate speech.

Angel Perez
To be fair, comment sections have always been a shithole of biased unqualified opinions and shitflinging. This isn't just a political issue, it's an issue of allowing literally anyone to broadcast their opinion.
Everyone put away their loyalties for a second and consider this formula:
The most easily offended people tend to be the dumbest
The dumbest people tend to be the most vocal
Computers and the internet lets even the dumbest people share their opinions
Dumb people don't care where information comes from just if it agrees with them.
YOU FIND THIS WITH EVERYTHING, EVERY POLITICAL AISLE, EVERY FORM OF DISCUSSION BE IT ABOUT POLITICS, MUSIC, VIDEOGAMES, FOOD, MOVIES, ANYTHING

that or sealioning.
>I feel like I'm living in Pol Pot's Cambodia, where anti-intellectual hysteria means wearing glasses can get you killed.
give it time, give it time.
I dont think the alt-right are destroying public talking as a prelude to fascism, they are dismantling public debate as a method of removing discussion about them. It silences the critics, it removes the places they can gather. a lone voice calling out thier sick shit in a place quickly gets silenced for self-preservation when there's no-one else to support it. That applies if its a opposing voice in the town hall, or a net forum.
the US is wandering dangerously close to the cliff-edge of falling into its own brand of fascism. it wont be nazism, it wont be italian fascism, fom the 30s, or even south american junta-like fascism from the 1980's, but it will have many similar hallmarks. And its going to get really fucking bloody.
