Counter contrarian view: small online internet communities should be purged Anonymous 2021-07-30 (Fri) 01:59:10 No.410192

One could say that small online internet communities allow people to distance themselves away from the monotony of MSM and normalfag media but what ends up happening in broken down communities is all that happens is a new cult is created, one only has to notice how every fucking(and I repeat) every fucking /pol/ user on this board consistently posts the same types of threads with so little variation that you know who wrote them before even bothering to read their posts, bunkerchan isnt different being that the cult mentality found within its users isnt different with a significant portion of members justifying events like the holodomor or showing blind support for terrorist groups that attack their own people. With other small boards like stormfront obscure reddit communities and sites like 16chan and 8chan the cult like mentality is strong enough that you can find reports of people being driven to suicide, young men committing domestic terrorism to fit in with board culture or on discord when it was still obscure with stories like rico that lead to 100s of victims getting doxed and blackmailed to serve the interests of perverted communities. Unified platforms arent perfect but there are times when I feel like I have more freedom of speech on sites like YouTube's comment section than on blue boards and nsfw boards on 4chan simply because community sizes are too large for any group to organize anything significant much less initiate any psychological damage to themselves or others

This post glows. Yes, small internet sites produce bad things but they also produce good things.

so, counter point: large websites are controlled by major corporations that censor on behest of the government, intelligence agencies, and industrial interests. Smaller websites are maintained as hobbies by a single person or small group of people are usually can fly under the radar or are not subject to the same advertiser-driven approval, ex: youtube video demonitization/deranking of "controversial" topics like war, even if they are newsworthy. They just want a constant stream of anodyne soylent tier content to slap advertisements on.

Also your last point is wrong, youtube had a well known "radicalization" right wing pipeline, there is nothing about the size of mainstream social media that prevents recommender algorithm driven echo chambers, maybe its even more radical on yt/facebook because the algorithmic timelines are far more sophisticated than anything a small site could ever hope to achieve.

Dude have you ever looked at the front page of reddit? It's the most insane media controlled propoganda. Literally brainwashing more and more people everyday

Dude I'm already aware of right wing channels and nazi bait, what makes them different is they're still susceptible to rules like anyone else and likewise unlike on actual reactionary forums like stormfront hearing non reactionary opinions that dont end up getting censored isnt that uncommon of an occurence

Are you calling /pol/ a small online community? (over 100,000 posts every day) or us a small community?
There are extremely good internet communities, it's mainly the political/religious ones that develop destructive cult mentalities, with special mention to ones susceptible to politics ('like 4chan but better' offshoots, supernatural forums, dedicated trolling/raid groups).

weirdos gathering in obscure parts of the internet is a problem thats inherent to the centralized nature of the internet itself. It will always exist unless you implement china tier censorship. We can debate that but barring that, id rather have a small number of weirdos on an obscure part of the internet than a large number of weirdos on a large part of the internet. pick your poison, plus you really can't trust the censors that would exist (i.e. tech companies) because they have their own agenda thats driven by the need to appease both advertisers and the government. So any censorship which falls on the right could just as easily fall on the left.

I also think this site provides a good counterexample, maybe not in recent months, but in days past I've had many edifying and intelligent conversations here that are rarely seen elsewhere.

reddit gets people to the /r/latestagecapitalism gateway, which is the "left-wing" (oh god what a meaningless word) version of SJW cringe collections. Never underestimate the power of humor+politics

There does seem to be anti-/pol/ sentiment growing, or maybe it's just a natural result of the radical right splitting between those who hate idpol enough to break away from woke capital or those who just want to get tendies from crypto.

some ex/pol/ tards are coping by turning back into libertarians but blackpilled this time, they've given up on the insane dream of muh white ethnostate and now they just want to live as "degenerates" with free neetbux or crypto scheme money

Kinda like leftists completely gave up on the unrealistic dream of actual class war and their real-world efforts peak with transgender activism and pointing at climate change.

Liberalism won, decisively.

That's not even 'spotted American' tier, that's 'spotted eternally-online RPer'.

I know more IRL ex-/pol/s than /pol/s. They're not really winning, even if they were a cohesive group.
Even /leftypol/ is unironically growing faster, even if we are far below.

I frankly feel like /pol/yps go around raiding threads all the time, they constantly say that discord transhumanists do it, but y'know what they say about projection.

Alot of them are stormfags that fled their own site because it died in the early 2000s since it was to extreme for most of its userbase

How about 8chaners (which some are Brenton Tarrant stans)? Do they raid threads like them?

The name holodomor is a nazi propaganda term used in the myth that the Ukranian famines were man made and orchestrated by the soviet government. No one "justified it" because no one approves of cyclical famines killing millions of people every other decade or we wouldn't be communists.
If you want me to take your post seriously at all I would ask you to cite your claim here.

Not anymore, grandpa!

Op might be a glowy because

>holodomor conspiracy
Basically a crazy nazi propaganda lie that is still being perpetuated by fringe nutjobs, it states the natural famine cause by drought, crop-diseases and the inherited low productivity of under-mechanized Tsarists agriculture, should somehow be blamed on communists, who in reality proceeded to mechanize agriculture and raise food production above any level where famines could occur.

>promoting political extremism
like horseshoe theory that equates communists and fascists, otherwise know as extreme or radical centrism

>shilling for corporate platforms who are know for their censorious and arbitrary algorithmic enforcement
say what you want about the big video website, but it's not promoting free speech, not in the comments and certainly not in the uploaded videos
