Kek, they better hope they don't shut this place down. This place is kind of like Zion in the Matrix, the machines allow it to exist to keep us out of their containers.

I'll be honest with you, I'm 50/50 on the possibility of a balkanization of the United States. My grandfather on my American side was a sociologist and believed that all conflict originated from scarcity of natural resources, but I disagree. Yugoslavia is a good counter-example of that. I feel like the schism in America is getting to that point, but we need a catalyst, and I'm not entirely sure what it'll be. I thought if someone actually died in these protests, that would be it, but James Fields did that in Charlottesville, and here we still are.

You're not going to like it, but I think it's going to get worse. White Americans are in a double bind, because if they allow themselves to become an even smaller part of the population, I think the other races eventually will smell blood, and we'll see the first ever white genocide. People like Varg argue we're already being genocided, but I disagree. I think the real genocide has yet to materialize - I mean it in the literal sense of the word. The problem is, whites are basically paralyzed until it does happen. That's the other side of the catch-22 - that white people can't organize based on ethnicity until it happens. Average white Americans are simply too vulnerable to being compared to Nazis to adopt a tribal identity (that every other race and social group in America already has). We're playing on an uneven field.

I think it would be naive not to say that some day soon, white people will be targeted on the basis of race. And when it does, white people will finally pull together as one bloc, but there will be much blood shed before then. So to answer your question, I believe balkanization will happen in the United States. Not sure when, or how, but I believe it is more likely than not.

ever since the bullrun in 2017 the p/po/tardsstarted leaking onto this board, bringing our collective iq down about 30 points.

It used to be funny, but so many of the newfag /pol/tards since Trump/2016 era legitimately believe in a Jewish conspiracy they come off as blithering retards as opposed to edgy teens

you say that now. in a few years things might look different.

I started posting back in 2007, when I first got to college. Looking back, a lot of that shit is kind of cringey when I think about it.

It's probably not so much the actual board you miss but the time that's now gone, but I get it. It's kind of a nostalgia thing. And there were some good times too. But like when World of Warcraft came out, everyone was expecting the WoW killer - the next MMO that would replace it. Little did everyone know that MMOs themselves were more or less dead. It would become replaced by a new genre - MOBAs, then battleground shooters. It's the same with 4chan. Boards are kind of dead now. The battle has moved on to Discord and other new media. Chances are you're just too much of an oldfag to find the hip new spots. Don't worry, that happens to everyone. Don't feel bad though, it's healthy - that's the way the world has always worked.
