Time recently summarized the "culture" of the web thusly:
>Now the web is a sociopath with Asperger’s. If you need help improving your upload speeds it’s eager to help with technical details, but if you tell it you’re struggling with depression it will try to goad you into killing yourself.

>Trolls are turning social media and comment boards into a giant locker room in a teen movie, with towel-snapping racial epithets and misogyny.

> A Pew Research Center survey published two years ago found that 70% of 18-to-24-year-olds who use the Internet had experienced harassment, and 26% of women that age said they’d been stalked online.

>But trolling has become the main tool of the alt-right, an Internet-grown reactionary movement that works for men’s rights and against immigration and may have used the computer from Weird Science to fabricate Donald Trump. Not only does Trump share their attitudes, but he’s got mad trolling skills: he doxxed Republican primary opponent Senator Lindsey Graham by giving out his cell-phone number on TV and indirectly got his Twitter followers to attack GOP political strategist Cheri Jacobus so severely that her lawyers sent him a cease-and-desist order.

>The alt-right’s favorite insult is to call men who don’t hate feminism “cucks,” as in “cuckold.” Republicans who don’t like Trump are “cuckservatives.” Men who don’t see how feminists are secretly controlling them haven’t “taken the red pill,” a reference to the truth-revealing drug in The Matrix. They derisively call their adversaries “social-justice warriors” and believe that liberal interest groups purposely exploit their weakness to gain pity, which allows them to control the levers of power. Trolling is the alt-right’s version of political activism, and its ranks view any attempt to take it away as a denial of democracy.

Is this an accurate description of the web, particularly of Sup Forums

Remember when Time held a poll and asked which word should be banned? Remember when feminist won the poll and their response was to shut down the poll and apologize to feminists? Fun times.

I guess this means we're winning!!

STEIN MIND!

There were no comments allowed on that article (and I think on the whole of the Time site). So they wrote it full well knowing that they could make accusations of some of the political figures and movements that they mentioned, and not worry about being called on them.

>muh feminism

What a retard. His knowledge of chan culture is also LITERALLY a decade behind.

The sociopath asperger.

It's the alt-right that has become the main tool of trolls.

Time Warner gave $722,416 to Clinton.

>Now the web is a sociopath with Asperger’s. If you need help improving your upload speeds it’s eager to help with technical details, but if you tell it you’re struggling with depression it will try to goad you into killing yourself.

the internet has always been like that

This is all just psychological prep work to get people used to the concept that uncontrolled ideas on the Internet are dangerous and we need thought police to keep us all safe.

In another decade we will be demanding our leaders remove Constitutional protections and put us in chains.

We will beg them to enslave us.

>we're losing the internet

If the internet belonged to anyone, they would have the least claim over it.

The hacker known as Sup Forums needs to be stop!

>leftist cucks believe they are "losing the Internet"

it was never yours to begin with

I hate how there's no real journalism anymore. LIke how about do some in depth unbiased research and present people something of value. Even if you don't like the alt-right it's still probably an interesting phenomenon to look at if you are ignorant of it. Like have a couple paragraphs about the history of pepe or something. I'm sure people would find that a little interesting

The person who wrote this clearly hasn't used the internet much prior to 2007. And definitely not in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Its pretty much always been like this. Arguably even worse since shit like Tor etc. weren't as required for illegal crap.

The Internet wouldn't have existed if not for trolls.

you can find better journalism on Sup Forums

You know, they write these articles to offend us but they just make me laugh.

It's true. The free Internet has been taken over by hateful memes and butthurt anons whining about their permavirginity. This has become disgusting and intolerable. It's about time that people were made accountable for what they post.

Reclaim Internet responsibility. Eliminate online anonymity.

Or at least try to find out why it's getting such a huge following all of sudden, try to understand why they're so angry and what they stand for, but I guess it's just easier and safer to type up pages of bullshit for fast money.

What a newfag. It's been like this long before any of these normalfags ever came to the net. I've been trolling BBS and imageboards since the year 2000. They can fuck off with their walled gardens and prissy sense of entitlement to safe space.

At this point TIME Magazine is more satire than Sup Forums is.

You are the prophet. As ludicrous as it sounds, you're 100% right.

Nope, it means they are in full-swing panic mode trying to push an agenda of censorship because they don't like what the majority of whats said on the internet.

>Stein

PURELY. COINCIDENCE.

It's always been like this.

Before the internet, before BBSs, there was your friend's basement.

You listened to music, looked at porn, talked shit at each other, drank some beer and took some drugs, and tried to create lulz.

We're just sitting around in the the global basement, but its reach has become broad enough that it has an effect on the real world.

Yes, but never forget.....

THE RIDE NEVER TRULY ENDS

The basic idea is the internet belonged to anyone or group, which is wrong to begin with. The rest is name-calling and a day's long viewing of the front page of Sup Forums.

I'd except nothing more of the Times. No real research or facts; just baseless claims and empty rhetoric.

>nb4 stein

...

the concept of journalism as an apolitical tool to inform the masses has been gone for a long, long time

remember
>maybe we can have some journalism between our cat videos if you give us enough ad revenue... and remember to vote clinton! because she's winning!

They mean, "Why we're losing the internet to globalists at ICANN". Right?

The internet has always been mean and awful. It's just now all the normies go on it and they are as thin skinned as rice paper.

lol these people will ruin and steal the Web because of their fragile narcissistic egos and power obsession. and you faggots are sitting it back and taking it like the good submissive bitches you're, gg

Oh yes, Sup Forums is definitely winning the meme war. The left may have the money, resources, and people, but they are unable to trump Sup Forums's guerilla meme warfare tactics.

>(((stein)))

Best of all the liberals and SJWs have been ascendant for a long time, and their hysterical nonsense is getting old and tired.

We couldn't be more perfectly poised to influence the next generation's values.

Look, let me explain it to you times magazine.

Yes the internet might seem like a frightening place, many gruesome words are delivered, but it's just something we do on the surface.

When people say "exterminate the jews" on Sup Forums or internet in general, they dont mean it, it's a meme that we find funny, but its also abit of a rebellious spirit, "The telivision tells us we cant use swearwords against jews? Oh yeah, lets show em we can!"

We dont hate the jews and we dont hate the blacks either, most of us fap to BBC porn, and we like seeing interracial relationships, we are just being edgy, so simmer down and realize things are not as bad as they seem.

A proud internet user and Sup Forumsuser

>by Joel Stein

One flaw I see in this logic is that it would stand to reason that the pill gets "more red" as you reach the Sup Forums nexus but if you browse almost any other board on Sup Forums its full of leftist cancer. We have the extreme enemies right in our own backyard and some of them seem to have been here for years without getting redpilled, and in fact a certain group of m. o. d. s. are in charge of those boards and will ban you and tell you to go back to Sup Forums just for simple shit like naming the Jew.

Oh my god how could I ever forget something I actually took part in?

speak for yourself....
>flag

Oh, right carry on with your usual business, Hans.

>We dont hate the jews and we dont hate the blacks either, most of us fap to BBC porn, and we like seeing interracial relationships,

>"Trolling" means saying things I don't like.

I don't get it, how did journalists come up with this? Whenever you see "trolling" mentioned in news articles, they just call everyone they don't like a troll.

This is how it was from the start. THIS is why everyone hates the "normies". Fuckers think they own everything. This """new internet culture""" is just a resurgence in the old culture as a backlash against the trashy normie ACTUAL new culture. They hijacked the internet and corporatized it, and now they're going to pretend it was that way all along so we forget the old ways.

It's not like Obongo is mere months from giving the internet to the globalists or whatever with only Congress standing in his way. Soon the first amendment might not apply in real life or online.

It's the same tactic as calling someone racist or bigoted. It's an attempt to shut down their opponents through shame, before the conversation even begins.

The problem for them is that they've been doing it so long that it doesn't work anymore. So now they just pretend like everyone who disagrees is doing it to purposely upset them.

It's sort of equivalent to a child putting their fingers in their ears and pretending they don't hear you

Does the pill get spicier the redder it get cause the pill kinda hurts both ways like coming in and going out like damn that's some nasty medicine mang

>so we forget the old ways.
web 1.0 was the best internet, never forget

anyone remember god ol' Limewire and Kazaa?

Holy shit this. We've simply connected our individual basements to form this horrid amalgamation of racism and pornography.

And I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Chaos has always ruled the internet and always will. These journalists have never stepped out side of """social""" media and as such do not understand the unfiltered nature of the true internet.

Interesting that this whole hateful movement would never have gained this much steam if moot never brought back this rebranded /new/. Given large platform of Sup Forums, this board was able to dupe many average white 17 year olds

>Sup Forums is one person
>((Stein))
I'm sick of it being called alt right. Can't we name it something more fun?

You handled it well.

Parents shouldn't do that to kids IMO. Now you've crossed mom brainwires with bukkake brainwires thanks to limewire

Neo-nationalists?

This article is designed to ease people into the idea that the internet needs to be censored.

Which is exactly what Obama is going to do next month.

There are the kinds of people who unironically say shit like "95% of the Internet is the dark net and is unknown".

>stalked

lol every girl thinks shes been "stalked". Its like a social status at this point.

It seems we've really touched a nerve. The explanation deliberately avoids naming (((them))) as responsible for everything, which is what we've been saying all along. Desperately trying to prevent further redpills.

Got to establish dominance in a situation like that. Stand up, unzip, and wiggle your eyebrows suggestively.

Why the fuck do you keep posting this every day.

We already had like 20 threads on it on multiple boards and the replies are all the same (whoever wrote this article started browsing the Interent when the iPhone became popular).

...

Been on the 'net since the beginning

Bantz have always been here

The main difference is the amount of normies that use such

>losing
We lost it when people could write content without/low moderation (read: at the beginning). Nothing wrong with that though, maybe it's better this way.

The alt-right side of history?

...

No. It means they're going to use this as an excuse to purge free speech, using a globalized internet which circumvents the constitution.

thehill.com/policy/technology/272568-internet-domain-handoff-takes-major-step-forward

They're going to make this the "cyber holocaust" and use it to ruin everything,.

normalfags' understanding of trolls is so juvenile and misguided it's hard to take them seriously. It's like they're permanently stuck in a 2008 understanding of the internet

This is suttle propaganda to make people think we need the Internet censored. Obama intends to turn over control of the Internet to private companies, governments and potentially the United Nations in 6
Weeks. Articles like this plant a view in their readers heads that we can't be trusted with a free internet. I hope the conservatives in congress shut this down or we can all look forward EU-tier censorship policing. Good by Internet free speech

They did the same thing in the UK under the pretext of killing whatever remaining free speech the Bongs had left.

>Trolling
Is this 2005?

They took it from us first to be fair.

We've gone from "far left" to "alt right".

I think it's hilarious how these fags are complaining about "us" (trolls) taking over "web culture" as if it's a new thing.

We've always dictated the narrative of the Internet. SJW's exploded in population and had a safe space for a little while but in the end we live on the Internet and they are just visiting.

>Sup Forums
>C
>Mfw

This is dumb. The web has always been like that. The people getting offended at it being like that are the ones arguing otherwise. It was like this from the beginning, and it wasn't a problem.

unlike you slowmo?
honestly man you sound like some kid larping as le epic old fag.
Also why quotes around """social"""?
"""media""" I could get or """ journalists"""
A lot of normies do read this shit and try and out debate each other so it is social.

Just call yourself a nationalist, for fuck's sake.

time magazine hasn't been relevant in decades

it's basically the print equivalent of clickbait

But Sup Forums is a board of peace. The internet is peaceful at it's heart please believe me. Those who speak hate do not represent us

The ICANN board is here - icann.org/resources/pages/board-of-directors

It would be interesting to see what their networks of memberships on other boards are.
