Does anyone actually listen to Mindless Self Indulgence? I thought they were for 14 year olds and the types that hang out at ''gothic'' bars wearing fishnet and shitty Combichrist merch.

These people piss me off a massive amount whenever I go to one of those ''dark'' bars expecting something really cool and I just get a bunch of you faggots.

I'd venture a guess that most of 4chan is, in fact, smarter than the average person in our age demographics (/b/ aside). It's just that most of this site is absolutely clueless when it comes to applying that intelligence in a meaningful, worthwhile manner in the real world. Which is why so many people here are fucking infantile when it comes to dealing with eachother or the outside world and constantly bitch about society.

The boards were fractured around the Night of The Scout, pic related, when /b/ fled and sought refuge in all the other boards. Normally newfolk find their own way onto the other boards after learning the ropes on /b/ for a while, but that night there was a flood, and there had never been such a huge number of immigrants to the other boards as that.

For instance, /lit/ and /x/ were once sister boards. We got on quite well, shared a lot of users, and I daresay a fair chunk of creepypasta was written by us. Now we are more associated with /mu/ because of this whole 'hipster' trend, as we are the two most hipster boards, after /fa/.

The only Tory policies that were disastrous were economic and defense. Labour created a lot too with lax immigration, lax crime and spending too much money. Although you might say they could have got away with these things without the formers mistakes.

Immigration is bad in the UK. I don't mean it in a "they steal our jobs!" way. Just that it's hard for people to integrate here. They only come for the better conditions and feel no attempt to integrate to the wider culture. It's pure fact that many self-ghettoise. And second generations suffer because of it. They are expectant and want support so they feel no need to adopt our values and work hard like they might in the USA. And secondly Islamic values aren't in conflict with British ones. Most compromise, yes but there's still hostility and feeling alienated but yet expecting state support.
