If you're reading this message and you're new to /pol/, please read the following passage (old faggots either post redpills or fuck off).
Welcome to 4chan /pol/. You are a normie (consumer of shitty mainstream culture and philosophy) and no one gives a fuck what you think. If you've stumbled upon this site, it's probably because you've heard it referenced by some normie media (Huffpo, Pewdiepie, etc). If that was what led you here, and you find the content on this board horrific and problematic, good! You can fuck right back off to where you came from. If you have an open mind and are willing to better yourself by acquiring knowledge, lurk. Don't fucking post unless it's constructive. If you're not sure what the lingo is, use a fucking search engine.
Basically: no one gives a shit who you are. Don't brag about your fucking accomplishments. You are here for one thing alone: to gain knowledge. After spending time here, you will begin to notice things about the world around you in real life that you haven't noticed before. Things will start to look dark and pointless. This is exactly what will happen if you spend considerable time here. You will know what to do next once you have reached that state of mind...until then:
1. Lurk
2. dont talk about this site outside irl.
And as a member of pol for over 12 years with at least 12,000 well received and highly (you)'d posts, i would just like to pontificate that op is a faggot, lurk moar, ip ban canada.

OP sounds like a newfag who takes this place far too seriously. You would have to be an actual autist to think fucking 4chan is deeper than shitposting and banter. It's not.
If you actually learn anything here, you might be a retard who is easily seduced by contrarianism and edginess.

t. contrarian to OP
>tfw it appears to be banter but actually you are arguing your viewpoints so you can refine and perfect your worldview and also gather arguments so you can better defend yourself in the future
Just because all the arguing tries to have fun and isn't dry, stale, & formal debate procedure doesn't mean its just shitposting and banter

I fucked a toaster, is this the edginess is was promised months ago?
Only serious discussion happens here!
>>133142543

The only thing that can make a fat girl more delicious is a thick layer of American cheese. Swallow that redpill, faggot.

This, OP is definitely an attention whoring faggot, but his suggestions are solid.
Newfags need to lurk moar, trolls should kill themselves
white people face mass extinction
