4chan is addictive because of the always unsatiated anticipation of something good. notice that there never is anything even remotely satisfying or something you would spend more than a 2-3 minutes reading. we all get some feeling of guilt after spending a little too much time on here. for me the best part is entering "4chan.org/pol/catalog" followed by the first minute or so of scrolling and picking out threads as the familiar stale high begins. this place has the same appeal as a casino. there is nothing challenging about discussing politics (people) at the depth /pol/ does. its just a psychological refuge and escape for frustration for 17-mid20 yr olds. I'm sure most of you, and I mean frequent users, have noticed that being busy with productive things and consequently not going on /pol/ detoxifies your mind. I suggest those of you that aren't conscious of why you've developed a somewhat subtle dependence on 4chan to consider that this place may just be a drug whose form is an edgy political social forum. I may be projecting but based on the sense of general unhappiness around here I'd say /pol/ is universally used for the same reason.

It's easy to feel like /pol/ is a productive use of time as a source of quick and abundant information, but the stale bait threads, mock threads, atifa, pizzagate, and trussia threads are just the same shit over and over. A bunch of shitposting and shills thrown in, and a rare spatter of redpill threads and truly interesting things like western art threads, and viola. It's just so repetitive.

Wow, that's really strange because I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it.

Everyone's anon. There is no reputation. There are no rep points. There is no up/down vote.

Thread hiding is a shift+click away for the shit tier content. Bread passes through often. All you have to do is jump in, get comfy, and break bread w/ fellow anons. There are tons of things in here that cause me to take notes and do further research. There is no place like this in that way. Even the racist ignorant threads have hidden gems...

IMO, one need have a sound mind and purpose before coming here so as to not get lost in the sauce. I'm sure a number of people come here and get lost. You have to have a strong head about you and come with actual understanding so you know what is bread and what is not.

I CAN STOP ANYTIME I WANT! NOW POST SOME FUCKING MEMES!!!

Seriously though, 4chan is as addictive as cocaine. After finding this cess pool of a website I deleted my MySpace account and haven't used social media since. I regret nothing.

It's an echo chamber for sure. But like >>127157142 said there is the occasional epic bread or happening, i think maybe that's what most people come here regularly for...just to check put whats going on. To me, this place is like a late night talk show...a social commentary on current events but what makes it unique is the fact that the commentary is uncensored - we say what everyone is affraid to say and we would never say what we think in public because of political correct culture. If you want to discuss real politics go to Reddit. This place is called politically incorrect for a reason. Also, if this place was like a casino it would trigger the reward mechanism in our brains on a regular basis. This place is shit and the reward mechanism's in your average/pol/ user has been broken long ago. I think most people come here to shitpost, larp or shill...but most of us come here to seek out the opinions of like minded individuals.

>notice that there never is anything even remotely satisfying or something you would spend more than a 2-3 minutes reading.

Some of my greatest insights and epiphanies have been gleaned from the shitposts here. Not to mention laughs.

If that were not the case, I would not still be here.

Guys I already read through the documents OP linked and it turns out it's just another big juicy nothingburger, it had no substance but it sure made me sleepy... I'm so very tired... why don't we all grab a snack and take a nap? this story isn't going anywhere. we have time to sleep...

Ive noticed that as well when I went 4 months without internet. What I learned is that the Internet is a huge tabaloid magazine of garbage information that won't really provide any insightful thoughts. In other words, its this generation's idiot box. Same goes with pol. Its the same shitposting over and over with nothing to learn. Stick to books if you want to learn.

I don't.

I seek the opinions of all individuals, especially those that are not permitted to be heard.

its a refuge for people in Washington DC, the people who matter in this city are too fucking insulated from reality and the city is a giant bubble from the rest of the country

Good post bruv. By and large the overton window has gotten quite narrow for certain very important existential issues we face and the more the overton window narrows the stronger /pol becomes. Tbqh this place is fucking horrible - but that is why we keep coming back.

Get a load of this psuedo intellectual. Oh wait. ITS A FUCKING LEAF.

There's always handful of interesting threads up at any given time and maybe some that have comedic value, the rest peddle mind mush. Just ignore the bullshit.
>>
redpill threads, western art threads, or anything else you see as "substantial" is still just some pictures or short threads that fill your shallow intellect due to your short attention span. Do you understand how intelligent people can become, what depth of understanding and clairty of worldview is attainable? >>127158120 an echo chamber, yes, but one shallow personality. You have failed in the normal social strcuture. 4chan provides a fresh, deceptive social structure within which to place yourself. You all make the rules and are all the judges of this structure, always placing yourselves precisely at the top; above muslims, blacks, women, "normies"/"bluepills", liberals, anyone you deem a "degenerate", when in fact you have had no social oppurtunities to even turn down the "degenerate" activities you all claim to abhor.
