Why can't you stand up for what you think on this site?

you are a faggot.

Sincerity is eschewed on this site. If you say what you really mean on 4chan, you are doing it wrong. If you have honest opinions to share go to Facebook or something.

And get fired and ostracized for unpopular opinions. Facebook is for faking your image.

i find it interesting and also funny that the "big debate" over the next owner of 4chan is entirely focused on free speech and then there are people like you who say that in stark contrast.

I dunno, maybe you're just talking to people who are very set in their beliefs. Maybe you're just espousing incredibly unpopular opinions. Hell, maybe you're just shit at explaining yourself and your positions.

Chances are it's a combo of all three with an empathis on the third thing. Personally I never have any problems declaring and defending positions on the site, but I can understand that other people might not be as good at making cases as I am.

Because literally no one gives a fuck.

Not him but I don't even talk about the need for the drug war to end on this site due to the fact that you'll just get a series of posts going: DUDE WEED LMAO with or without XD. The memes being dank are of far more importance than having an intellectual conversation about things that matter to millions.

You have to pick and choose where and when you're having these arguments. The plain truth is that (almost) every board leans to one side of an issue and reading the mood of a thread is just as important to getting your point across as actual conversation.

For example, if I went on, say, /news/ and said that we should gas the kikes and race war now, I'd get goofed on just as much as I would if went on /pol/ and tried discussing the intricacies of Judiasm and neo-liberal ideologies. If I were on /a/ and started a thread about how Avatar: The Last Airbender is undeniably the best anime of the past two decades, I wouldn't get a very positive response.

The point is that you can't go to certain boards expecting legitimate dialogue 100% of the time - on the bigger boards, a lot of people are just visiting to goof off and post smug frogs. That doesn't mean you should never go to those boards to discuss something, just that reading the mood is an important skill.

So? The memes and shitposting are usually pretty obvious and easy to ignore. You just keep and eye out to see if anyone tries to engage with you and start a conversation from there.
