wasn't part of it the whole cracking down on porn and file sharing? especially porn that wasn't very legal?

i think the ADTRW pedo purge postdates the founding of 4chan

ironically ADTRW is apparently the least pedo-infested anime forum on the internet because it used to be full of them until lowtax banned them all.

lowtax shoulda looked a little harder at TVIV while he was at it lol

A lot of it can be blamed on late capitalism but hey better pick up the loving cartoon frog as a scapegoat.

i'm guessing these suburban white kids didn't become nazis because they suffer under capitalism

It's because they don't have a single hope for their future and they don't have class consciences.

oh cool the 'economic anxiety' meme, where we learn that the richest and most employed demographic group became neonazis because of 'hopelessness'

My point is that the 50s are idealized for a number of reasons, not all of them illegitimate.

if it were economic anxiety they'd idolize the 1970s, not the '50s. economic inequality started to climb from 1980 onward, the average family wasn't better off in real terms in the 50s than they were in the 70s. i wonder why this group of overwhelmingly male whites would pick the 50s, almost as though there was some kind of social movement after that decade that they disapprove of

it's not a coincidence that both mainstream republicans and the alt-right picked the decade immediately preceding women's lib and the civil rights movement to venerate as a lost golden age

quote:

"The people that are coming in here from China, Indonesia and all of them countries, they're getting pregnant and coming here and having babies," Weber said, telling an Asian reporter that he meant no offense. "They get everything and the people that were born here can't get everything."

quote:

"Islam is traced patrilineally. I am a Muslim if my father is Muslim. In that sense, it is undeniable that Barack Obama was born a Muslim," Michael Rooney said at a Trump event in Worcester, Massachusetts, in November. (Obama is a Christian. He has said his father was born a Muslim and later became an atheist.)
Rooney, a respiratory therapist in his late 40s, likened Obama's Christian faith to Caitlyn Jenner's recent gender transition: "It is true that he now identifies as a Christian in the same sense that Bruce Jenner identifies as a woman."

quote:

Rhett Benhoff, a middle-aged white man at a December Trump campaign event in Raleigh, North Carolina, said discrimination against whites is "absolutely" real.
"I mean, it seems like we really go overboard to make sure all these other nationalities nowadays and colors have their fair shake of it, but no one's looking out for the white guy anymore," he said.

Everyone has their own understanding of the world. America in the 1950's is perhaps the golden age of prosperity, social unity and sheer national power as well as benefiting from being directly after WWII but before the social upheaval of the Vietnam and Civil rights era. As our society has decayed people have turned, at least in part, to whatever Trump represents in an attempt to capture something of the old glory. In doing so, they empower the very same elements which have undermined and corrupted that greatness.

In short, turn to Cassius Dio:



not sure if this guy has heard about the social unity, maybe u should let him know

I'm really excited for SA to start showing up more and more in conspiracy theories as time goes by. Glenn Beck was an early pioneer in this regard but I'm confident that the best is yet to come. I want to read about how VileRat and Caro were CIA agents, LF unleashed cultural Marxism and SJWs on the internet, 4chan was a long-con by Lowtax to create the Trump presidency, and slenderman is a Luciferian meme-spell created to steal the souls of children.

LF was more cultural Maoism imo
