Pretty cool that white supremacists coopted a story about a black man leading a bunch of other black people in liberating themselves from slavery by exposing false consciousness enforced by a bunch of white men in suits. And only the one white guy is really slow at figuring it out.

Did they really pick anything about that movie beyond a meme of one particular scene? It doesn't seem like any framework of the movie is applied to anything except one quote and that "what if I told you" meme that isn't even from the movie.

The whole concept of redpilling is just telling out of shape nerdy antisocial losers that they are secretly the most awesome and amazing people ever and everyone has just lied to them their whole life. That's basically the plot of the first Matrix movie.

Also, just cause we're on this derail, that movie has one of the weirdest heroic sacrifice scenes ever, where a character pulls out dual automatic shotguns, unloads into a group of SWAT cops, doesn't manage to hit a single one, and then gets shot and dies. Accomplishing less than nothing.

They've already started coming up with excuses. Either they'll further imitate chan culture or they'll decide it's another secret test from Q, like all of his other 'tests' that were just Q loving up. Or hell, maybe they'll reverse pizzagate it and decide that the child porn is actually secret coded messages from Q.

Yeah, something that has gotten kind of lost in the shuffle is that, if I remember correctly, 8chan is a break-away from 4chan that was created specifically because 4chan started to finally crack down on "jailbait" threads. So, y'know, kiddie porn.

But maybe that's why the Holy Q saw fit to reveal his master plan there, it's the last place The Cabal would expect him to show up, surrounded by the thing he hates most :tinfoil:

That and Gamergate were the two catalysts. Moot also banned gamergate discussion because it was taking over every board, so 8chan was made to post child porn and complain about women in video games. A more pure chan board was never before seen.

Yeah, Moot got sick of Gamergators making GBS threads up every board so he just banned discussion of it.

Another big exodus happened after Moot did a bunch of word filters on /pol/ to switch phrases they commonly use to mock them.

8chan is the scum of the scum of the internet. Also its creator is a dude with a very terrible bone disease, which you might feel sympathy for until you realize he has garbage awful views and specifically created 8chan so people could be racist and post jailbait porn.

He got thrown off either that site or another one he created because someone actually hosed him (it was a woman with a fetish for people with brittle bone disease or wheelchairs or something) and being not a virgin was against the board rules.

It's always amazing when the 8chan chuds get all self-righteous about pedophiles. They get REALLY upset whenever someone points out that they were literally founded because the pedos got kicked out of 4chan. There was some drama a couple years back where a leftist Youtuber called them out for hosting jailbait and loli porn and they mass reported him to the cops accusing him of having planted it.

Voat I think really kicked off after the untimely passing of /r/coontown and /r/fatpeoplehate

quote:

While it’s impossible to generalize about tens of thousands of rules across tens of thousands of subreddits, they all essentially boil down to one core philosophy: Within online communities, speech is a right equal to other rights — and when speech conflicts with other rights, it doesn’t always win.

For example, if you post a photo to Reddit without the photographer’s permission, your right to speech doesn’t trump the photographer’s right to her intellectual property. And if you take a photo of a child in a bathing suit at the beach, your right to speech doesn’t necessarily trump that kid’s right to leave his house without being sexualized and preyed upon by some creep with a camera.

As the sociologist Zeynep Tufecki put it in 2012 during the Violentacrez saga, ” ‘free speech’ as an absolute value … that is not balanced by any other concern is at best an abdication of responsibility, and at worst an attempt to exercise power over vulnerable populations.”

It would appear that many of Reddit’s individual moderators agree with her, even if Reddit itself does not. On Feb. 8, a Redditor using the unsubtle handle redditiscorrupt0 posted a lengthy, and popular, diatribe in Reddit’s /r/conspiracy, claiming that a secret “cabal” of moderators was censoring speech along “radical feminist and social justice” lines. That same day, a group of other disgruntled Redditors started a forum called r/subredditcancer — the better, they said, to document the anti-misogyny, anti-racism, pro-censorship conspiracy taking over Reddit.

Within hours, a Reddit knockoff called Voat — based in Switzerland, and thus subject to different laws — had seen a “large influx” in users and activity, mostly from ex-Redditors seeking greener, and presumably freer, pastures.

“So essentially,” wrote one Voat convert during a Q&A with the site’s founders, “I can be offensive to anybody, as offensive as I want, as long as no death threats, etc., and you guys will not ban me?”

This, to be clear, is the real issue at the heart of the so-called Reddit exodus: As fun — and complicated — as the grandiose conspiracy theories are, there’s no evidence that anything’s actually going on there, besides a lot of moderators sharing a common philosophy on free speech. Voat has emerged, almost by accident, as a symbol for another kind of philosophy: that everyone should always be allowed to say anything they want, particularly if it offends what Tufecki calls “vulnerable populations.”

“We are not SJW and don’t plan on becoming it,” Voat’s founders wrote in the most popular question of their Q&A. “Also (luckily for us), no SJW girlfriends.” Winky-face.

The bottom line: On Voat, sticky issues like “social justice” won’t interfere with the inalienable right to be, as one user puts it, “serious, serious d***s.”
