4chan is training us to write in 1-2 paragraph blocks of writing at a time.

[Anonymous No.18889818]

Your social environment doesn't "train" you to write in anything.
A post is not a part of a book, it's not even a part of a part of a book.

[Anonymous No.18889819]

And that's a good thing

No it isn't, I refuse to discuss at length here because the format is inhibitive to proper erudition. What's doing at most is training us to shitpost because only the shitpost gains traction. I'm still smarter than my shitposts.

Every single word in this post is wrong, even if you strip them from their context and just observe them as individual words, they are wrong. I'm inclined to believe that you wrote with this inverse in mind, as a joke, like it was opposite day. If this wasn't the case I don't know what to say.

The internet is training us to think in short fragmented chunks altogether.

The only thing that should influence how you write is other literature.
If you think imageboards are training you how to write, then so should messengers, but in that case you might as well kill yourself then and there outright because you've been mindcucked to a state of complete mental cretinism - the same kind that thinks "internet addiction" is a real thing.

You write like a retard so I'm going to assume you are wrong and lacking in self awareness.

Naturally; that is the only cope you have left, besides deleting this embarrassment of a thread in order to save your face.
Haven't actually saged in a while.

People used to put a great deal of effort and attention into written communication with others. I don’t think letter writing was a better form of communication, but it’s easy to see how it might provide you with practice for writing actual books.

Imageboards are really only a good representation of the current zeitgeist, they're not good as training platforms. For that, it takes dedicated work and effort. I come here for mindless entertainment and to tune in to what people are saying, doing, and believing. I don't come here to get a decent idea of how to read properly, much less write properly.

>they're not good as training platforms.
They're good at reinforcing existing delusions and bad habits, sometimes to grotesque extremes, especially in their current state. And to suppose they don't alter the zeitgeist is nonsense ridiculous as the claim that inventions and individual persons of historic importance haven't.

On a flat, ruined roof, a man sat alone.
He was a rage unto nothing; defeated, cast out, decomposed. The sun’s harsh light was wreathed in the gloom of the grey winter clouds. About the man were ruins; a port city in ruin, ravaged by rain. A rain of steel and water alike. It was misery.
He looked up to the sky, his weather-worn, aged face on display beneath his grey coat. The man who lost. The man who loses. The man destined to always find himself at the bottom rung. He wrung his hands for warmth, the shabby grey woolen gloves around them not enough to see back the bitter cold of this winter’s freeze. The filth ridden beard at his chin shifted, his lips curled into a grim smirk. (1/?)

In the distant city, far from the burnt out buildings which he had made his home, life resumed. Near as three blocks south, a woman stood alone. In her hand, the delicate, purple money of the Union. Five separate notes changed from her grip, to the grasp of a fisherman at a stall. A fish of moderate size, wrenched from the ice, wrapped in paper.
He could smell it from here, the fish. Down wind of it. All too much hunger swelled in his gut, churning in tandem with a sickness. Not a sickness of the body, of the soul. It was plain to see on his face, a pale malaise. The glassy, grey gaze of a man dead yet still walking. His grey coat hung loosely on his lank frame. It was martial, yet bore no heraldry. Paramilitary. Revolutionary.
No. (2/?)

Revolution implies success, revolts follow through. This was a rebel’s coat; rebels lose. Rebels have lost.
“A world that’s left me by.” He muttered. Hunger still biting deep. It crawled wherever memory did, rearing its head in the fury of a horror eldritch, ancient and evil, here to eat the sun. Much like the grey clouds, fraught with acid. The very sky choked by the excretions of the same evil the lonely rebel had once fought. (3/?)

“This thing we have become, we will never, ever, unbecome.” He grunted, rising from his cinder block chair. It took force, like peeling a scab. He turned his eyes from the south, now facing north, where a great statue rose. Upon its stern brow, a laurel wreath. Flowing robes, beautifully carved; taller than most buildings. The shit of gulls crowned it. The sea air had corroded the copper from which it was forged, turning it a sickly green.
“What a great king you were, Pyetr; with your statues, your palaces. Yet where stands the worker who built them all, with his own two hands?” (4/?)

The Rebel pulled a dog end from his ear, placing it between his lips. The crumbled cigarette lit easily. The Rebel coughed, phlegm spewing through his lungs. He still inhaled the poison. He looked up to a ray of sunlight that rended the heavens apart to declare its deadly incandescence, and growled out. His whiskey soaked voice quaked with his words, a yell through the empty, war ravaged district. “I am a lake of burning orchids! Summer’s fires still burn in my veins! This old fool will die on his own terms!”
He shifted. Electricity ran through his nerves, commanding each muscle to shift, yet the task was near impossible. That one step was near impossible. (5/5)

I only meant that they're not good as training platforms in that they're not good for learning how to read and write good literature. I essentially agree with your post.
