Yeah I member...

that's because the internet has reached a point where shill discussion and governments trying to spin narratives eclipses actual real people.


There are some governments that post on western forums like 4chan and reddit for the sole purpose of degrading our culture.

>>59140810

This is actually true.

Perhaps not so much here. But if you went to reddit dot com, on the front page, its just chock full of obvious shilling.

Fuck i noticed a few days ago the top post of the entire site was just a blatant linkthrough straight to shareblue.com. Its insane.

China hasnt got shit on what the west does with the internet now. Everyone other there and over here knows what China is doing to the internet, but what were doing is *insidious*. Half the fucking country doesnt know theyre being fed a fiat reality daily, and the ones that do know like it and go along with it. In that respect i think i can say were a bit closer to North Korea than China might be without being too hyperbolistic.

I remember the internet not like the TPP.

I'm not an altrightist faggot but apparently the internet now likes the TPP because Trump doesn't? Sanders didn't appreciate the TPP either.

Maybe not /g/ but /pol/ is paid shills posting at paid shills all day everyday

>>59141345

Yeah thats gotten really obvious. Most OPs are now 'contrarian' le ebin trol threads that are obviously paid.

>>59141265
The internet has no opinion of TPP, people do. The internet is not one person and people can change their change opinions. Even still a lot of people are glad TPP is done and over.

>Something feels different about the last 5 years online
We're just getting started OP.

>>59139245
Everyone who isn't me is a shill so it is impossible to discuss anything. Anytime an opinion is posted that isn't my own, I'm sure someone was being paid to post it.

>>59141898
Nevermind my post. I forgot that I suck cock.

>>59141932
Shill trying to slander! Who is paying you AMD, Nintendo, Soros?!

>>59141512
Nah I knew a kid who was severely autistic. He was my cousins friend and he always says stuff like "I'm the best Australian shit poster"

And that he makes "POL btfo" threads as a joke. And hates Jews as a joke.

He has a blank Facebook profile and his face is just covered in acne. The poor thing.

There are so many people who do it as a joke

the problem with people taking the internet seriously is that you reach a point, and I think we're past it, where the subversive effort is greater than the genuine. there was a trust, not in other people but in lack of motive that has evaporated. even 4chan feels less about the lulz despite people maintaining the pretense.

I think a lot of the greatness and openness in the internet was based on the presupposition that nobody gave a shit about little old me shitposting on this little old website (or big website).

>SOPA was 5 years ago
Jesus time flies. I remember going deep down the rabbit hole and doing some risky stuff to try to help stop it from passing. I had almost forgotten about it until I saw this thread.

>>59142622

Interesting. I have a question: Do you feel like you were lied to, given the state of play now? For EG, Google was one of the main forces is getting SOPA stopped then, now theyre playing around with an AI designed to censor 'toxic words' (you know its really meant to be used on people like us whether were trolling or not).

I was pretty damn left, all day all week occupy wall street stop SOPA row row fight the power and all that. Now i just feel i was used.

>>59142615

I think what youve described there is the keystone of the reasoning that civil society is breaking down quite badly.

In all honesty i blame 2 things more than most, twitter and the media. I dont expect i have to expand on the media point.
Twitter especially is structurally an unbounded adversity engine, its quite diabolical actually.

reddit did everything for that though

>>59142703
>Now i just feel i was used.
How?

The most dangerous thing on the internet now is the safe space bubble bullshit and people trying to censor any sources, even the ones they do not like calling them "fake news."

I feel that if people were better educated and were able to challenge their own viewpoints while learning more the "fake news" sites would not be an issue in the first place.

Everytime I hear someone saying that censoring is good in any way I die inside.

ayyyyyy lmaoooo

>>59142622
SOPA is today. It never went away, they just keep rebranding it...

>>59142703
Even if it literally cured cancer, SOPA et al intentionally subvert democracy. Laws must never be secret; laws must not be written by foreign/stateless elements and dictated to our lawmakers, and laws must answer to the people they affect. Trying to pass shit by treaty is unacceptable swinery.

Anyone who doesn't challange their own views is part of the problem. I'm a socialist but I still come to this website not only because it's one of the only anonymous websites remaining but because I like to see the opinion of others on the opposite side of the spectrum. I don't want to be jerked off by people with the same opinions as me.

This goes both ways.
