This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


Someone mentioned the Dota thread and look what happened:

So since /b/ hacked Trump's voicemail and released a bunch, does that mean /pol/ is now at war with them?

you also "learn stuff" on reddit and become "politically aware" on 4chan, two sites were the concept is mocked here but without self awareness. playing video games to head pat anime characters and salt simulator 2016 is just as noble as this because it's just as much a waste of time. I'd say more noble because their more honest, but enough people get mad at video game boobs or anita videos that they clearly take their dumb hobby as seriously as us.

Understanding the political process and caring about politics isn't a waste of time, in fact many think that the american electorate having no understanding of those two things is very bad.

being politically aware is brain toxin that makes you unhappier as a person than if you just tuned out until october

so naturally we rationalize it with horserace bullshit and cheering every little inside baseball thing that happens as if it matters at all and the whole thing isnt predicated by intangibles like consumer confidence or median flatulence index or wtf ever

The LF people said the same thing (both the Paulites and the anime marxists). All had annoying infighting but even worse smug reaction to outside thinking. I mean I'm sure /SRS/ and /TheRedPill/ are worse, but the main boards on reddit are more conductive to a conversation.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

The main boards on reddit have millions of subscribers and are mostly white noise due to it

Smaller, properly moderated reddits such as /r/askhistorians are often quite good

Like, SA was basically founded upon the principle of spiteful unfounded internet elitism

The caucus format doesn't favor him, so I expect him to underperform 5-10% as compared to the polls.
