yeah pretty much this
the actual advantage of 4chan over reddit is that it often knows that it is retarded and contrarian and thus (usually...) takes things with a grain of salt
4chan is still subject to a lot of retarded groupthink though

In my experience the users here are not really more openminded than in other places. The difference is that you will have both tankies and nazis in a single thread flinging shit. That doesn't occur anywhere else because one side runs the moderation and will delete all the posts it doesnt like and ban the users.

This might not seem like much of a positive point in 4chan's favor, but it is in a way. If you come here you are simply forced to see people you don't like posting things you disagree with, and not in a memey way where it's like a screenshot that everyone points at and laughs and doesn't allow the guy to defend himself.

So while people are generally reactive retards myself included, over a long time period you start to sort of be familiarized with arguments and perspectives you wouldn't have otherwise simply because they're all here in the same place, over and over, they're allowed to defend themselves and argue their points over an hours long discussion with hundreds of posts, and you can't help but start to be less shocked by them. You even start to be familiar enough that you can almost argue the side of the position you disagree with.

In practice it is hard to not just call people idiots and ignore them, but you are still forced to see the opinions, and some part of you knows that these people aren't simply retards because you've seen them defend their ideas with actual knowledge and reason at times. Maybe you have different fundamental premises, maybe you each want something different and it makes you biased in different directions, but I find that it humanizes people in a way that is the exact opposite of what I see on echo chamber websites, where people self-segregate and start to view their opponents as caricatures of idiocy, ignorance, and malevolence.

>>13010347
I'm glad to know you're forced to accept le ebul nazis are human and reasoned but its funny that I can assure you most of them form the exact opposite opinions of you guys throughout so called "debate". You generally further cement the belief you cannot be reasoned with and will never stop, should not be entertained and that violence is inevitable.

half of the internet is CIA shill. that or zoomers are literally braindead and insult me whenever I post something vaguely intellectual. Try it, go anywhere on the internet, post something a little bit thought provoking and you will be met with delegitimizing replies in a matter of minutes. That's the key point; delegitimizing replies, not dumb insults or shitposts.

Yes but 4chan has as close to freedom of speech as possible largely because of anonymity. Reddit is closely “moderated” so that dissenting opinion is removed from view.
