How did /pol/ become so influential?

>>139223065
It's one of the few places on the internet where people are entirely honest with themselves and the world around them.

It was once the last bastion of free speech.

>>139223065
Because once you're here, you stay forever.

>>139223195
Alternatively, people can act the complete opposite of themselves and play devil's advocate without it being tied to their face and name. Shitposting as you opposition gets you into their heads and might give you arguments against positions you are struggling with.

Wanna know who I am?

As much as people will swear /pol/ is a Christian, pro trump board. This is damn near the only place where different opinions meet and clash. The best ideas rise to the top.

Isn't it strange that when left uncensored, the Internet turns conservative?

Because anyone even reporters and twitter users can come here, make a post that fits whatever narrative or spin on their story and post an article about it
Also the website and the people who come here already have a bad reputation so no one will question them, the perfect crime

NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW

>>139223530
More like, when neckbeards have a place to circle jerk, and also they're conservative

But, yes, it's a forum in which only ideas and beliefs are shared for the sake of sharing. It's like, anti-social media. The cosine to Reddit and Facebook

If it wasn't for literal college brainwashing (I did half a semester before I quit. They were literally trying to pedal Marx's critical theory.) I feel most people do end up being conservative. We need another era of McCarthyism, and to start calling liberalism what it really is, Communism.

MSM is limited. It's simply not allowed to go off piste - and because the narrative has to be so overtly obvious as to be effective on total morons - applying the same shit to the entire country (non-morons included) that it seems less and less relevent to anyone that's not a pleb. The truth is, it's just boring.

the chans deal with questions that don't seem to have an answer. Some of these questions you are flat out not even allowed to ask. To even ponder that the official lines simply don't add up is reason enough for you to be ostrasiced. Along with that, shitposting is hilarious and fun. It's a no brainer.

Throw enough shit and some will stick.

4Chan plays into a carnal desire for.... chaos because humans just love to have a chaotic outlet. You have plenty of chaotic things in your life, 4Chan is just another one of them. It plays into this desire through its anonymity, it gives you free reign to say for the most part what ever the fuck you want. It's freer than "Free Speech" in a way, because there is virtually nothing to stop you from saying anything. When you are given that power you will eventually say some shit someone or something doesn't like, and thats when it gets even more fun.

Which is the reason why 95% of you autistic larpers would never post anything you say on here on your personal twitter, facebook, or send it in a work email to a friend.

We use this website because we like to talk about the things that are "taboo" or "bad thought" and it's a good thing we do, because some of this bullshit does need to be talked about and not just swept under the rug.

In the classical sense yes, but leftists have co-opted the term and made it synonymous with being "progressive." Classical liberalism is no longer a politically liberal point of view. Blame the (((conflict theorists))).

This. It turns out that a lot of people here would be persecuted if they were to express their views IRL, so they are forced to do so anonymously. To voice one's thoughts has a necessary theraputic effect and calms anxieties that one may be feeling. If this venting outlet is taken away, the rage builds up and eventually explodes into physical violence and war. I realize that the elites think that winning the culture war is as simple as denying any opposition a platform but doing so will only have the opposite effect and ignite a full blown rebellion. They would be wise to not turn the cold war hot.
