temple posted:Nerd culture isn't about nerds or culture. Because we live in the age of irony, calling someone a casual enthusiast isn't possible. So we call them nerds. I read /tg/ and /pol/ and most of it is regurgitation and misinformation. They are reactionaries and don't understand the subjects of their fascination. They just want to belong to a larger group. Occasionally, someone that actually read Warhammer books or knows the rules to their table top games posts on /tg/ and you can actually learn from them. Mostly, 4chan consists of people half remembering what another idiot told them or reacting to outsiders. /pol/ doesn't understand politics and probably never studied Nazis or national socialism as much as they ironically praise it. Its funny to watch them repeat myths and watch it spiral into an alternative reality (i.e. DnD edition wars or the Mike Brown and Walter Scott shootings). It is all reactionaries and no different than Infowars or Glen Beck. Maybe instead of writing a pathetic post like this one find something other than how much media you consume to center your identity around.
