>>11566254
stage 1: /b/ testing the waters. Probably heard that 4chan is "the most depraved place on the internet" and wants to check it out, out of morbid curiosity. Is a mostly normal person who enjoys edgy shit. Just wants to have fun on the internet. Most true normies never will go past this point.
stage 2: /v/, and /tv/ because "hey I like movies and videogames." May also include other boards reflecting personal interest such as /tg/ and so on. At this point the anon sees 4chan as their "online space" and begins to show contempt for more mainstream outlets such as twitter or reddit.
stage 3: /pol/ because you get sick of the retarded SJWs in media. As a result, you overreact and adopt/court reactionary worldviews. Likely also becomes an athiest as you believe that spirituality is just another controll mechanism. At this point the anon feels a clear sense of alienation from others, and likewise others probably view the anon as wierd or stunted in some way (usually rightfully so). Many never get past this stage ie all the kekistan types
stage 4: /r9k/ eventually you realize that /pol/ is just sound and fury, and even dumber then the SJWs you once saw as your great enemy. Feeling no attachment to any group or ideology, one withdraws from society (or at the very least, internet society) and falls into nhilism/hedonism. May also check out /biz/ in an attempt to make money off of crypto without any real effort. Relies mostly on vapid escapism to remain sane. As with before, many get trapped at this stage (people who become NEETs or severely agoraphobic)
Stage 5: /fit/ /adv/ /ck/ etc. Eventually the r9k'er realizes that their life is hollow and isolated. Half out of boredom and half out of contempt for their former, childish ways, they attempt to better themselves through physical fitness and by learning practical skills. May fall prey to pseud shit like nofap, Myer Briggs or Jordan Peterson. Still somewhat misanthropic, seeing others as an obstacle to one's own personal happiness
Stage 6: /lit/ /his/ /sci/. The anon takes their personal growth to the next level by trying to cultivate the mind by learning more about sciences the humanities and art. May also return to religion/spirituality in a quest for purpose. Begins to see other people as a path, not an obstacle to happieness. Realizes much of their life was wasted and their youth is dead but chooses to keep moving foward reguardless. Understands that suffering is inevitable if one wants to become their best self.
Stage 7: freedom. Though the anon has suffered a great deal to get to this point, they have also gained a decent amount of wisdom and self knowledge in the process.

i got here in 2011 on /mu/ because i was very obsessed with music at the time. Around 2012 i started going on /fit/ because ive always worked out and i always went on /fit/ infrequently because working out is just somethign i do not a part of my personality.

2013 was the beginning of the end for me, i came to /lit/ and I liked it here because there were people i could talk to about the books I read and theyd actually be willing to engage in long discussion without the normal vapid posturing I encountered in real life trying to do that. I slowly became aware of this 'other element' though, this hidden sort of set of subjects you werent allowed to touch that an occasional anon would start bringing up and everyone would act weird, and that led me to /pol/ in 2014 and well that was it, i basically radically dropped out of society(mentally), and my entire existence now is a facade of normalcy behind a blinding rage and desire to kill almost everyone around me. I go to work and act more or less normal, i go to bars or parties or whatever and just avoid all topics that could come close, but there is this constant ominous sense of hostility and impending catastrophe that /pol/ bred in me.

The only way i can mediate this fury is by meditation or reading stuff like the New Testament, but most of the time I just can't check it and it comes out occasionally really intensely.

It's /pol/ to /lit/.
That's the only true path.
Don't give me the /pol/ wasn't here before around 2011 or so. The website was a cesspool before that dedicated to anime and debauchery. Transvestite acceptance and libertarianism. In otherwords, Low IQ degenerates. Things turned around here thanks to /pol/.

Most other boards are degenerate. Theres a few alright ones like /o/ and /out/ but pretty much all degenerate boards should be purged from the site. That includes all the porn ones, the horse fucker one, and /b/.

It's the opposite. I've accepted the validity of nearly all viewpoints. I see the logic of any ideological viewpoint from Marxism Leninism to Anarcho Capitalism to Nazism. They all operate in a rational framework. Like a lawyer, I can play devils advocate for any of them. Ultimately what one believes is contingent on upbringing and circumstance.
I've ascended such trivial conventions and arbitrarily pick and choose what I believe now. I view theology as superior to the study of politics now as it elevates an individual, as opposed to lowering.

Vast majority of musical opinions are incorrect.
It's not a matter of chacun à son goût, there is an objective good and if you cannot perceive it or reversely listen to shit, your discussion on the matter is not valid. You see, most people lack the neurocircuitry required to render melody, same as animals. That's why most people resort to "identifying with the lyrics" or liking the beats and pacing of a song. Most musical "tastes" arise as the result of preference falsification.

Going to /mu/ to discuss music as is like going to a blind person club to discuss paintings.
Not quite in your case. You were but another blind person joining the blind.

All in all, you've made some bad choices and just happened to wind up on a corner of the internet with high IQ people, now telling you the obvious fact that you never belonged here in the first place.

Yeah it is OP. I went from being on 4chan basically constantly to being on /lit/ basically constantly to checking /lit/ a few times a day to maybe checking it in the evening if I'm exceptionally bored.

This being over a span of 6 years. I've been a quotidian /lit/ poster for a couple years now and don't really see myself moving anywhere else on this site. I only occasionally visit other boards. It's really interesting to see you guys' online odysseys and to think about how these different board cultures might have molded your personalities. Not many other /k/ommandos I see? Oh well. The idea that this (or any other) is an "exit board" is one I've never thought of. Wonder if my time is coming? Will we finally learn to socialize in "real life" and no longer need this place? Was 4chan a necessary cocoon to incubate a certain type of character that couldn't grow otherwise? It's a bittersweet thought, just want to say I appreciate you guys.

4chan boards are the circles of hell. A hodge podge of souls enters in and each mingles with its like, forming a coagulation which serves as an artifact of the environment for other posters to respond to. Therefore the whole inferno is a spontaneously self-organizing system containing various degrees wherein free floaters ascend or descend according to their place in the hierarchy. As we near the last stage, the air becomes rarefied and the quality of content increases, finally we find a concentration of knowledge which causes those who have made it this far to evolve astronomically. Here one attains to such a velocity as to be unable to ground oneself in the whole 4chan apparatus altogether flying to who knows where, to the horror of the posters still remaining on the board, who see their fellows vanish suddenly without a trace. A select few will understand what has occurred and say a prayer, giving thanks to the archangels in heaven for saving another soul from the tortures of this hell.

4chan has in large quantities the rather rare variant of person that will autistically argue about things no matter where the conclusion leads, evne if it is deeply taboo. that shit is crack to me so i come here, but i have very rarely been affected by peoples opinions here.

For example I browsed pol for years and I still do not even vaguely dislike Jews. Sometimes i think pol is somewhat correct about how much power they have but a) i do not care and b)it actually sort of endears them to me. I can't just take all the Jewish people i've known irl and say 'fuck these guys' just because Soros is a prick. It's not rational

Every time there's some huge purge for whatever reason a new chan is founded.

The first one was 7 chan, which is mostly abandoned today. It was mostly SomethingAwful rejects and oldfag /b/tards.

The newest is 8 chan which was just for the Gamergate autism. It's just as cancerous as 4chan so I don't recommend it.

All the other ones are mostly just for niche interests. Lain chan is a weird hybrid of weeb and /r9k/, uboa chan is for that Yume Nikki game, etc.

The only one worth visiting is 420 chan. It was founded waaaay back around when 7 chan was founded so it's a relic of a bygone era but last time I was there it was still relatively lively. As the name suggests it has a huge emphasis on drugculture but there's also plenty of general discussion there.

chans outside of 4chan are horrible because they're more insular and oftentimes retardation/irrationality is supported and promoted if it fits a chan's values/ideologies. it's a spiral of self-inflicted stupidity and delusion. results in somewhat more intelligent posters merely by being a bit more obscure and stricter in content engagement, yet also exceedingly delusional and/or memetic posters. conversely, 4chan/pol/, for example, is a jungle of ideological conflict and variety, in comparison.

I started with /lit/ really. Only come here now when uni isn't overbearing or during holidays. I used to browse random boards like /pol/ or /gif/ for fucked up gore and racism as a teen because I thought it was funny, but the entire site seemed too sublime in its autism to stick around.

I came to /lit/ because of a friend who perused a lot, in the year 2016. We used to meme Infinite Jest and other memes from here on our meme page, and now it's slowly shown to be very autistic. And now we make our own content that I shill here occasionally. In other words, there is no exit, nor is there entrance. I am merely the house.

lit is not the last stage.

I started off in /fit/ in 2012 and realised that 4chan filled a hole in my life. The other online message boards were fucking stultifying, even if I had some great times.

fit stayed my main board but after 2012 I became heavily invested in browsing pol. The trayvon case was an early peak, then trump from mid 2015 to late 2016 was one long peak.

Since 2014 lit has been my main board. tv is the meme powerhouse of 4chan because of its unpretentious nature and proximity to pop culture. pol is good but kind of in a lull. A lack of happenings makes it flabby and weak.

I was kind of an r9ker throughout but stopped a few years ago. After Elliot Rodger became famous I browsed sluthate for around a year and my social redpilled went as strong as it can go.

biz, sci, g, are low IQ but also great people. his is good but it was created by cutting the arms off of lit. lit cannot accept it's loss of history and humanities. Nobody on lit can accept that novels are an entertainment medium.

sp used to be a meme powerhouse but stringent moderation turned it in to something mediocre.

So why isn't lit the final step? Because you come to realise that there are many oversocialised or low IQ people on here who mindlessly worship what academia and publishing companies tell them to.
