Why is shitposting more attractive than honest, intellectual

>>2272568
For the Yous. People usually crave attention more.

It causes the pheromones in the pleasure center of your brain to start flowing.

Because having knowledge, analytical skills, and communication skills is something that requires a lot of work.

>>2272579
This.

>>2272568
It isn't, but shitposting is easy

People have been graffiti-ing cock, balls and immature jokes on whatever's available for as long as we've been here

Makes you think
We probably need it

>>2272568
It's like chicken nuggets vs steak. One is cheap, quick, and instantly delivers a rush of fatty and salty endorphins.
The other takes many more resources, and even though the end result is better, you see many people deciding that nuggets re the better deal.

Honest, intellectual discussion is hard. And it will just get drowned by shitposts anyway. Anonymous posting guarantees it.

>>2272568
I honestly try to have good discussion, I have even found myself arguing with a shitposter, although at that point I look at it as more of an exercise in trying to organize my thoughts and I like to pretend some lurker may be reading and they might take something away. Why other people feel the need to shit on others i have no idea.

>>2272568

Why not have the best of both worlds and veil intellectual discussion with a screen of memes and shitposts

The level is discourse is only as high as the shittiest poster so on 4chan there's no point in trying

>>2272568
Fun things are fun, as K-ON laid out so eloquently.

>>2272729
this.

>>2272568
It takes less effort, and shredding platitudes and beliefs that you're supposed to have via subversion is a prerequisite for discussion that arrives at reality. It's why I can't talk to most normies. There are glaring omissions in their analysis, particularly when it comes to difference in ability between groups and the influence of ethnicity on ideology and action.

I like causing the thinner skinned /his/ users to get really upset and whine about /pol/ and reddit.

>>2272851
To give an example, I can talk to a friend who knows more about science than I do about race and IQ. He's a liberal who thinks we can all live together. He's intellectually honest. I can shut off the rampant shitposting because he doesn't force me to resort to it by hysterically reacting to me having the wrong analysis according to the reigning ideology (at least the reigning public ideology). We can actually talk. But most people on most issues, they spout a meme talking point, I shitpost in reply or don't say anything or change the topic.

>>2272568
We are infested with Redditors who need '(You)'s to validate their fragile opinions of their 'le clever' selves.

>>2272856
Compelling.

I like justifying my 20gb folder filled with smug anime girl reaction images.

It is hard to express yourself without anime, I don't know how people on other sites converse.

One of the best parts about 4chan for sure.

anime is for serious posts only. the more cute the image I choose, the more serious I am

I'd say the early 1940s the british empire and nazi germany were strong

/his/ is fucking cancer, I feel like it's been abandoned wholesale by the original posters actually interested in discussing anything more than the most shallow of topics if they aren't just shitposting, and that I missed the memo on where everybody went.

>>2273033
They all went nowhere.
I've been here since day 1 and there has been no discernable drop or rise in quality.

>>2273033
his is just /int/ 2.0. Cancer never changes

>>2273033
4chan is cancer I don't know why I still go on this website

>>2273199
Because you're part of the cancer, and you enjoy it.

>>2272568
Start a serious discussion and shitposting thread at the same time and see which delivers the (you)'s

>>2273199
Life is 50% cancer.
This place is less cancerous than normiedom.

Personally, I think at this point in the world there's too much information to look through.

Ever been to /leftypol/? Cool, so remember all the race threads and how many links are thrown around? Sweet, how many actually read, disproved said link, and then posted their own? None? Because, hey, even us NEETs don't have that time to sort through 200 pages of an article just to find out it's been disproven. Face it, we're plebs with plebs time and we don't have time or interest to sort through every piece of information to find the objective truth and because of that, everyone just sticks with their personal beliefs and when one of those beliefs are torn down, they just revise that belief and keep the bases

Welcome to /his/.

I'm drunk.
