>>10289982>>10289994My issue I guess is moreso with 4chan as a whole. I'm not trying to brag about "oldfag" status, but I've been coming here since 2006 and witnessed many changes over the years, some for the better and many for the worse. The consensus always seemed to be, at least up until 2014 or so, was that 4chan existed as a place to take a break from the real world and relish in watching it burn for a little bit and I've always held this as gospel (perhaps to a fault). In reality, my political views are on the conservative side, but when I come to 4chan I like to drop that entirely and just act like an absolute retard. Given that this site has moved way towards "unironically right-wing political ramblings" over "have fun and shitpost", I will act like a full blown degenerate to rile up the "/pol/-tier" userbase.
I did try out /pol/ for a while when I grew tired of /b/ becoming "porn, porn, andy sixx and porn". I had some fun there, but as time went on I realized that it wasn't truly that I was letting loose and having fun, it was because I had begun dragging my IRL persona onto the internet and had basically turned into a virtue-signalling asshole. I felt like I was just as whiny and no different than the SJWs that we claimed to hate so much. I even found myself doing cringy shit like posting "redpilled" statuses on facebook and starting political arguments with my friends. I realized that caring so much about the world and not taking time off had made me so miserable, that the /pol/-tier political humor was the only thing that could entertain me anymore. The edgy humor was great at first, but once I realized it was done not to be funny, but to be whiny it lost it's appeal. I'd imagine it's the same for faggots on the left. I felt like I had become part of the problem that has become a plague on 4chan.
Sorry for the book, I'll post it on my blog.
