Eh, I’m not sure that kicking a bunch of shitheads out of your house who later go on to form Shithead Club counts as having created Shithead Club.

I remember that, It was the thread that popped up a few microseconds after he was demodded. The op was "aatrek likes TNG because the current generation is too old for him" and it just got better/worse from there. Does anyone have a link to that thread?

Kind of. I definitely think Moot should probably off himself very publicly in penance for his dumb labor of pedoanime love that itself gave rise to 8ch.

Speaking of, this is like the 2nd or 3rd time a loving mass murdering terrorist white supremacist was radicalized by 8chan, so maaaaaaaayve it's time for all the hosting companies to stop accepting their money?

There's that but I also remember Glenn Beck saying that SA was a CIA front in the wake of Vilerat and Benghazi so law enforcement laying off in that instance adds up.

Pretty sure Lowtax is deep state and has all our personal info Zuckerberg style only with harder to crack passwords.

4chan really just started as a place to post and talk about anime. Moot took a very anti-censorship stance in the "no censorship, ever" way before the internet realized what that ultimately leads to. That of course led to an increase of people congregating there who had been run off of the rest of the internet for being abhorrent. That led to some low level moderating which then of course led to some people who took the "no censorship, ever" stance starting other offshoots like 8chan with predictable results.

It really is a case of his heart being in the right place and not really knowing any better at the time. There were more innocent times when nobody really knew better.

His original plan would have him walk across Mississippi in the middle of July.

He planned to survive on raisins. His original plan was to die of not eating food, but he managed to start starving to death at a ranger station so he was able to call his mom to take him home or something after a couple days of starvation, having already abandoned his trashed walmart cart somewhere in the woods.

No, the best part was his route would have taken him through the deserts of I think it was Nevada where there isn't any kind of civilization for hundreds of miles. You know a region where people have gotten stranded and died even when they had a car.

I believe he made it less than that, like five miles, before being completely disabled with leg cramps and fatigue. I genuinely dont understand this part because I'm fat as poo poo, but i can walk five miles without being completely destroyed. Was he starting in some really hilly area? Was he just overcome after realizing that his cart broke and his plan was stupid and he was a failure? Because i can see that, waking up on day 2, realizing there was absolutely no way he could succeed, and then just holing up at the ranger station and pretending his legs exploded or whatever.

he was very extremely out of shape

iirc one of the hikers in his thread said his symptoms were consistent with the body just going "gently caress this" and seizing up due to over-exertion/lack of proper nutrition

McCandless? He ate the wrong plant and died 8/10ths of a mile from a way out of his situation. He lived in a bus.

Timothy Treadwell thought the bears at Katmai National Park were his Bros and stayed too long into "eat everything for hibernation" season and got ate.

Both happened in Alaska tho.

Edit: Mary Maley also had a run-in with bears in Alaska but did not die. You can see video of her horrific encounter here: https://youtu.be/nU5cMZymSr0
