/lit/ - Literature

>>16267716
Not at all. I'm a liberal SJW who frequently reads works of literature written by women and people of color in addition to classic works written by dead straight white cis males.

Cringe for being an sjw Liberal

/pol/ radicalized me. Then I realized that they only have half the pieces of the puzzle. Right now my goal is to read the all the books on the political philosophy chart so once I have a thorough understanding of politics I can stop using it as a hobby because only zero life losers are obsessed with politics.

>>16267716
It is only earnestfags who ever took the somethingawful and mid-aughts /b/ shit seriously and got unironically "radicalized." Most of us grew into functional adults who now only occasionally use the channel for the cathartic release of calling someone a faggot and the fact that it's all still pretty funny at a surprisingly reliable rate. But I think almost all of us, other than the very most autistic of autists, were just having fun and never actually meant any real political end by it.

>>16267716
It made me racist and antisemitic that's all really though, I have never really bought into any political team

I have a cringe taste in books
That's it.

>>16267716
If you sincerely get radicalized from anti-sjw cringe compilations, you deserved it.

I laughed at /pol/'s jew shit until I got to university and wew lad are the kikes bad. That being said, I understand the reasoning for it. But I still dislike them. And Black people. Anyone who is entitled, really.

>>16267747
Imagine getting radicalized by fucking /pol/ of all places

>>16267716
>Another american retard projecting his retardation onto everyone else: the youtube video
It's funny how these ameridumbs just use anecdotal nonsense to try and convince people but I guess since hes trying to convince amerifarts its effective.

>>16267756
>hurr durr nothing matters i'm just here to call people fags and stuff lmao
go do that on reddit

I'm still a radical centrist

it has radicalised me into being a raving fucking mong at times on the internet. otherwise i'm not radicalised. i have no radical political opinions or supreme edge opinions on things.

>>16267716
Whoever made this youtube video really needs to just swallow every pill they see

>>16267805
No

>>16267822
No one cares if they're called a fag on here go to redd*t teen

>>16267824
No

>>16267727
>>16267743
Dumb frogposters

>>16267716
NOt really. I guess it has effected me of course. It has most obviously allowed me to see the dialectics in action in terms of cultural polemics. If anything it made me double down on my disgust for the SJW type, since at least their retarded opposition (which is mostly fucking maxim spewing retards) is simply a shadow and a necessary outcome of their snobish retardation.

>>16267756
Yea that's what I thought too
You can sense that for some anons /pol/ really is their entire life
>>16267804
It's not even anecdotal, opposite really
His video missed the insight of someone who actually went through the "radicalisation process"

>>16267716
This is the dude telling you your lifestyle and ideology are 'radical'

>>16267835
The description is anecdotal also i hope you didn't actually click on that video and give it views further helping it retard

>>16267796
These people think that being a liberal that thinks intersectionalist marxism, queer theory and mass immigration are a bit much and maybe watches a jordan peterson video once in a while is 'radical'

>>16267716
They didn't, I only come here to download memes, type based and cringe, and bait dumbfucks.

>>16267850
It is radical. Radically retarded

>>16267716
In truth, the blatant racism here on 4chan(nel) did piss me off a bit. At first I fired back with anti-white comments, but over time I realized that while I was getting (You)'s from /pol/posters, I was just making the site as a whole worse. Nowadays I just ignore /pol/bait threads ("hurr durr blacks can't write", etc.) and filter out stuff in other threads. A part of it is realizing a fair chunk of the racists here are just underage teens who want the high of saying the n-word online.

That said, I am optimistic about 4chan's future. More and more people are coming to this site, drawn by the reputation it has a meme-source. Sooner or later, the racist edginess will be drowned out. This has downsides (I don't care to see this board become r/books), but on the whole things are looking up.

Leftists on twitter made me realize that one can that that living a life without constant shame and their success are mutually and whatever material comforts they offer in exchange are not worth it.

>>16267864
Rightists on 4chan has taught me that they only care about yelling nigger at each other

>>16267856
I dont like it at all. There is a certain level of absurdism that i like to keep that requires a specific level of casual racism and every other ism. Raw and visceral posting. Dosnt have to be all out cringe neo-nazisim. but using words for their impact and implicit power.

>>16267841
lol
I just wanted to see what normies thought of us
the video is inoffensive and insipid really and preaches the standard breadtube normie-goes-nazi narrative

>>16267864
low IQ

>>16267869
>Rightists on 4chan has taught me that they only care about yelling nigger at each other
That is much better life, ngl.

>>16267805
>hurr durr everyone here is being serious and we are making a movement it's not just for fun and laughs
Quite reddit of you, bitch boy.

>>16267716
I've used to be deep into conspiracy theories but always considered myself as a leftist, I used /pol/ barely and mained /g/ and /b/. Eventually when 8ch came around, I started balancing /pol/ with /leftypol/ and consoomed a good amount of ecelebs. I did get sucked into /pol/ for a while, mostly due to it being so active during the election year 4 years ago and I became a bit more reactionary and started use antisemitic memes ironically, although I started many discussions that got lots of (you)'s because I thought racism was inherently wrong. Started coming here more, this place didn't really radicalize me much but motivated me to start reading more.
Now I'm a full on communist.

>>16267891
Wow what a unique and interesting story, please tell us more about your intellectual journey

>>16267887
Its slightly better than "I am offended by the n word".

The philosophy of an average dude back in the 50’s is radical now?

>>16267897
I also made half a million investing in cryptocurrency early, planning to use my money for leftist causes beccoming a soros of my own.

>>16267856
nigger

>>16267884
I dunno man. Just because some autistic Marxist isn't concerned wit shame doesn't change the fact that moral leftists, which make up the vast majority of your lot, still want shame to be a motivating force in society.
>>16267869
Still a more dignified existence than whatever lifestyle choices the left aims for.

>>16267891
>e I thought racism was inherently wrong
I mean we all did, we were raised to view it as a serious sin. But it doesn't really make very much sense

>>16267904
If only because it's not the 50s

>>16267909
Fascinating

I dunno what compelled me to post a screencap of this cringe video desu
I find the topic really fascinating. 4chan, niche forums and the Internet as a whole really do change you, but in subtle ways. So I find it really disappointing when all the videos about it are so samey and never say anything of substance
the outsiders perspective of these videos always bothers me too

>>16267920
I don't think you know what “radical” means.

Everyone itt should kill themselves, but not because I told you to.

I read Stirner when I first came to /lit/, I read Whitehead because of the guy spamming him as the coming process philosophy turnabout, now I've bought IJ, and I'll visit a prostitute soon to lose my virginity. Thx /lit/

Made me a little more racist and anti semitic, which are the major nonos in our society (i dont really have favorable views on whites though either) Guess its made me a misanthrope mostly. Sad!

>>16267929
Agreed. Its like they never capture the implicit nature of 4chan posting. like they have to create a clean well defined narrative when its anything but.

Of course, its understandalbe since they want to prompt specific action, so they must create a specific narritive (Which is not necissarily false, just not all encompassing) to prompt it.

Not going into the essence of shitposting. THe sure absurdist fun you can have in a good thread, etc.

>>16267946
what race are you?

>>16267934
It's out of place,hence why people would think it's radical.

>>16267967
Half French, half Ethiopian. Why?

>>16267967
White amerimutt

>>16267975
just curious. When you say you became more racist what do you mean, I'm guessing not like /pol/ views

>>16267970
Radical means “root change.” Alt right shit is NOT radical, because it doesn't want to change anything, it just wants to reinforce the divisions and biases that already exist today. That’s why I asked if you know what “radical” means.

>>16267934
You're radical, bro

>>16267989
Africans are so racist to other types of africans its crazy.

>>16267989
The guyanese are dumb

>>16267994
well there's a lot of different types of Africans

>>16268005
No shit

>>16267990
absolute retard take.
> it just wants to reinforce the divisions and biases that already exist today
y-you know the status quo isnt exactly static right? THere is no ultimate stasis. Your very opinion at this moment is part of the status quo. SOmeone who espouses "radical leftism" is just as much part of it as one of the right. Authority is not simply some vague idea of a strawmaned 'traditional values', we are all a part of the process, we are not outside of it. If we are to deconstruct, we must deconstruct everything.

>>16267990
A society where they had unchecked power would look drastically different from our own. You could argue that the changes made are superficial, but that wouldn't make the chances insignificant.
