I’m starting to think ehehe is right, 4chan is being influenced by glowies. There’s been an uptick in rage posting across all boards. I was browsing /a/ and everyone has been unusually angsty. /int/ has been /pol/ lite for the past few weeks. /v/ and /tv/ look normal at a glance but I hardly ever use them because they’re normie trash Reddit lite. /news/ is filled to the brim with raging schizophrenics but I guess you could argue it always has been. /lit/ is more obsessed with celebrities than actually reading. /biz/ seems to be teetering on the edge of a ritualistic mass suicide (just like the markets lol). /wsg/ has been colonized by TikTok zoomers and sharty teens. /rk9/ is more obsessed with suicide and politics and fapping to trannies for once. You can’t even look at anime girls with guns on /k/ because everyone on there won’t stop calling you a Russian/Euro shill (republicans think we’re at war with europoopoos now or something, IDK.) And /bant/ has just been mean and hateful recently.
But it’s not just 4chan, it’s everywhere. On all social media platforms. People are raging, even normies.
I believe the trump admin is trying to rally people up with rage-bait in hopes it saves them in the midterms (it won’t). Because all the raging seems to be coming from right wingers, the most common narratives I’ve seen spouted are:
“They’re gonna take ‘er gunz!”
“They’re gonna cheat!”
“Muh wokeness!”
“2nd American civil war!”
These narratives are parroted everywhere, it’s so obviously shilled it hurts.
