I haven’t heard anything about them in quite a while. It’s like they were a hot-button topic of conversation, and then everyone just stopped talking about them. If they’re still around, what would be the reason they seemingly disappeared from the news?
Edit: I did not write this, but I cannot explain it better.
Wow… I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so…. Profound- on 4chan.
This is actually 8kun, a website for those who thought 4chan was too mild.
Good god. What have we done!
It’d be genuinely moving, if it was about anything else. The last hold outs of a wilder Internet? I’d cry. A bunch of dipshits clinging desperately to a storm of nonsense? Only tears that’d come from that is if i laughed too hard.
I can still feel it when I think the vast majority of these people are vulnerable individuals who have been led to be believe they’re being victimized. Things like QAnon provide a the right-wing equivalent of a safe space and community for them.
It’s got to be tough seeing it slowly tumble away.
In a way they are. They just also serve as a reminder of why not too many people want that wild internet anymore.
Well said!
There was a time when all the best stuff, the most enlightened, the most accurate, the best analysis of society as a whole, the memes all came from 4chan.
The problem was that it was full of pure shit too.
I’ll live and die by the need for freedom of speech and anonymity in discourse at least to a point. Because its far to valuable without out. But now people are too weak to even handle someone telling then to go kill themselves so they can’t hand all the other shit.
The prime of the Internet is gone forever. We rapidly moving into corporate 1984.
Don’t forget the people with active unmanaged mental illness. They will 100% believe in their delusional thoughts and won’t have the insight to know that they’re ill.
Yes, but that subculture has always been there, looking to latch on to the next new obsession or more aptly for the obsession to latch on to them. In fact, in some ways it used to be kind of quaint to read some truly off the wall posts from the ancient days of r/conspiracy circa 2008 where the lines blurred and you didn’t quite know if you were witnessing unadulterated, unchecked madness or the well rehearsed LARPing of some terminally online troglodyte.
Then all of a sudden it turned into this entirely different thing where it became clear to me at least that there was a loosely organized group of people with severely warped and nihilistic ambitions that were attempting to bridge the gap and conduct a social experiment where they wanted to see how far their weaponized autism could infect into the real world. The answer was all the way to the president of the United States. It was both strange and fascinating. Maybe we will all be so lucky that it will just be left as some obscure footnote of history, but I doubt it. The systemic realities that lead to Q are still there, and future versions of this kind of parasitic mind viruse will be much worse as technology continues to improve. What it will look like, I don’t know, but I’m not eager to find out either.

One hell of a reality check post there that they needed
I feel like a just read a verbal atomization
What’s a ‘bread?’ Thanks in advance.
Q would leave breadcrumbs, because he needed to be as vague as possible to sound like he knew what was going to happen, right? The people who would interpret those breadcrumbs were called bakers. Yes, I know breadcrumbs are from bread that’s already been baked, but that’s what they decided to call themselves to create an Us vs Them feel. So the “bread” in this image means there are things to be interpreted or reinterpreted yet.
It just means “thread” my guy
kinda miss 4chan sometimes. btw if you’re trying to censor the slurs, you missed one (the one for “newbie”, though I’m enough of an oldfag to know that’s just how 4chan talks)
“Breads need baked”, I cannot argue with this logic.
Can you tell me what ‘bread’ means? Thanks
