I recently returned to /mu/ on halfchan after being away since 2013 and I immediately noticed that it was shat up with...

Engels gave it supreme meme potential. The drawing is simple and the message is simple.

I cannot unsee. What the fuck was that.

Its the inside of a horse hoof apparently Hopefully the horse died because mein gott

the nerves beneath a horses hoof.

poor horsey D:

When you meme so supreme you achieve marx's dream

Almost wish I could turn back time

Holla Forums getting their shit in on other boards may be a blessing in disguise based on my personal experience. I used to be pretty much apolitical, but the invasion of Holla Forumstards that brought their bullshit to my chinese cartoon discussion board really turned me against the aut-right and ultimately lead to me actually checking out more leftist radical theory.

Of course, I can't really tell how many people there are like me that got actually repelled by Holla Forums cancer and how many formerly apolitical anons there are who got attracted to it.

reeeeee why did you have to post that picture and why do I just had to look at it

I'm really not concerned with counteracting the aut-right as I am with counteracting narrative being put out by media conglomerates and newspapers. When Holla Forums is spreading their rhetoric they're not doing it in response to us, they're doing it in response to the mainstream narrative being put out there, and it's an easy battle to win because people are sick of establishment politics. Holla Forums made themselves an alternative to what people are sick of, we should also be providing an alternative. The narrative most people are at war with isn't a Holla Forums one, it's a CNN one.

Fuck you for posting that

Same. Litterally came to leftypol because people where spamming converted youtube videos about NIGGERS NIGGING NIGGERS NIG NIG NIGGER on /f/ instead of actual animation.

i used to love going on halfchan Holla Forums. after star wars force awakens Holla Forums has been nothing but racist and sexist idpol

Most of the time I visit /mu/ all the Holla Forums idiocy is made fun of

The board we really have to defend is /lit/, leftypol's ancestral homeland. Aut-righters get BTFO there all the time but there's still a lot of faggots shilling jordan peterson and posting 'redpill me on julius ebola' for the millionth time

and /his/ is a battleground between /lit/ and Holla Forums

Holla Forums is still love but not forgiving, tho Holla Forumsroaches are gestating themselves on bunnicula threads for some ungodly reason

I used to browse /lit/ but around 2012 Holla Forums shitposting became too intense and people who readed serious literature for fun dissapeared, I became very disgusted when /lit/ stalked a booktuber and now I really don't want to get close to that place.

...

Most of the times a Holla Forumsyp goes full gaz-teh-kaiks they just get ignored tho, that gives me hopes that Holla Forums isn't totally lost.

Im just glad the something awful forums are still left. The culture is better than the chans anymore tbh. They actually have fun instead of circle jerking in rage.

reeeeeee I can't get it out of my head

I know it's the inside of a horses foot, but it kind of looks like something from the ocean such as a tubeworm or a sea anemone

I generally just want to defend the boards dedicated to the arts. What I'm seeing from /mu/ is Holla Forums coming in to mostly police and subvert threads dedicated to music like punk or folk that directly opposes their ideology. Phil Ochs used to be really popular when I was on the board and I saw a topic recently discussing folk and a bunch of people piled on to someone who brought him up because they said "Protest folk is degenerate."

They're laying the groundwork for what they want - fascism. It's diabolically brilliant.

the entire truther movement/alt media movement from like 2008-2013 right before Holla Forums and stormniggers infected it

That's what fascism is about, turning back the clock to a fictional idealised past

It's a shame that many communities have been taken over but nothing can be done about it now. Activism in general is worthless, but activism purely on the internet is beyond retarded.

How do we get the wagies and NEETs to make peace on /r9k/?

I used to shitpost with some of them when I tripped there. Good times.

I don't know where you've been. But /mu/ hasn't been about music for years.

New fullchan /mu/ board when?

Not really, it has a real effect. Fascism will be a fact of life in for "liberal" countries in 20 years.
it's happening right now and you can do your bit to stop it but you choose not to.

If it serves a strategic purpose, yes. For example, if somehow we could make Holla Forums unberable for Holla Forums, they'd lose a great source of anonymous organization.

But for the most part no, it isn't. There are several forums I used to visit that are alt-right now and the result is that obviously they're now bad, insular and dying, and the people I used to know who browsed them just moved to social media where one guy can't pretend to be 50 and push a false consensus.

The alt-right doesn't take over places, it just kills them

Oh god they're still doing that? I remember this from literally years ago. Every two days someone would make a new "is there any good fascist literature?" thread with that reading list as the OP.

Last time I was there was a couple months ago (except for sitting around in the chart thread) and people were laughing at aut-right. What sort of shit have you seen? I don't want to go there and find out tbh

I have to wonder too because I was also there a few months ago and most of the /mu/tants were basically telling Holla Forums every time Holla Forums showed up

tbh it seems it's turned from an anime website to a fasicst website. it's in all the small boards

Maybe I went at a bad time and they were being raided, but a thread about complaining about rap's politics and Kendrick Lamar was around with random Holla Forumsacks bringing up their crime statistics and everything came up. Then there was the folk thread I saw when everyone shit on Phil Ochs when he used to be in every 4x4 back in the day. Another thread, someone posted about the album by Jordaan Mason and the Horse Museum and someone said it was faggy propaganda.

Wrong.

Every image board under the sun is filled with Holla Forums now, even some large parts of the normie web are kinda falling to their influence. The CIA plan to use cointelpro to subvert the internet was very successful, every day thousands of useful idiots get on board with the rightist team to defend the status quo thinking they are fighting against it.

What do you mean?
We never had any community. Before CIA stirring shit up people were apolitical at most.

This.

If someone wasn't apolitical on /mu/ they were leftist. Occasionally you'd meet the occasional Burzum fan who actually took Varg seriously. I met a lot of my current leftist friends through there. Again my frame of reference is from 2012-2014. I don't know what it was like before or after.

/mu/ isn't that bad though. Holla Forumsyps aren't really welcome with open arms, and actually I think they try to actively propagate their shit there because they know /mu/ is one of the most left-leaning boards, but they ultimately fail. I mean, look at the recent threads made by Trump supporters being preemptively triggered by Kendrick Lamar's new album.
I also always see a few Holla Forums memes when a sizable political discussion sparks up.

Do you remember Chanology? There was a post knocking around as a screencap back then about how it was a COINTELPRO effort to co-opt Anonymous. Since then, Anonymous has gone to little a anonymous, no longer wreaks havoc across the internet, and acts as an attack dog for the FBI.
It's pretty telling that they've been pushed into the white nationalist movement, something the FBI has firm control over.

No wonder Holla Forumsyps find $$$helicopter memes$$$ so funny.

They're classcucked to the extent that believing anyone, even a social democrat, challenging the neoliberal Pinochet regime, of which $$$Reagan, Hayek, and Mises$$$ were sycophants and direct terrorist sponsors for, deserved to die for disrupting $$$muh vaguely fascist aesthic$$$ or the circulation of capital and the class-war which $$$they$$$ benefit the most from.

What worries me is the fact that the term "nu-male" seems to be widely used and /mu/ was never caught in the spook of masculinity. I remember we'd ironically use beta and alpha, but it seems to be legitimate from what I've seen so far. Being so caught up in being a "fine specimen" is very Holla Forums tier

I just wanted to add that Paul Joseph Watson was ridiculed by Anthony Fantano not too long ago and this didn't do any favors to Holla Forums for the knowledgeable posters who know mainstream pop has been always shit in majority and mock the "muh wrong generation" fags.

Just use the normal echoes fam, nothing wrong with naming the eternal 🍀🍀🍀Hibernian🍀🍀🍀

An old group of friends I met like 5 years ago had a few of it's members get really spooked aut-right and now its pretty much all the talk about, it became insufferable and I quit hanging out with them. Other than that,
-/x/ turned into a pizzagate place
-Holla Forums was ruined by gamergate
-pretty much all of 4chan

I wonder how Holla Forums would feel about supporting man propped up by jewish money and jewish theorists.

Oh wait. They don't care.

Yeah, it's true that this meme is widespread and annoying.
But at the same time, Pitchfork/Condé Nast and their liberal friends aren't helping at all.

...

/g/ suffered massively because of Holla Forums, went straight from based free software board to endless memeing about good goys and Jewish processors, which ironically devolved into a general fixation on consumer gadgets, because it's all these bourgeois manchildren actually care about.

Holla Forums was always extremely volatile about anyone disagreeing with them to the point where they would spam race and I Q threads on the front page if you triggered them enough.

/int/ was one of the very first victims, mod sponsored of course.

I can't meme about this anymore, sad times.

nu-male is definitely ironic on /metal/ I think.

Here's the real crux of the matter though: Have the old users left because of Holla Forums, or has Holla Forums displaced them? I know they have a metric fuckload of newfags just by watching them sometimes.

Goons get the wall.

This.
/g/ is so terrible now it hurts. I can't stand those pajeet memes anymore. And the level of technical discussions is always so awfully low. I fell for the Redmi Note meme thanks to them though, and I'm glad I did.
I wish lainchan would be more active.

I think people left because they got sick of posts about the same 6 albums every day. I did at least. And that definitely has to do with the problem of newfags even back then. Now they still post about those same six while Holla Forums occasionally attempts to subvert

The local board culture is pretty much dead, you can smell the Holla Forumsirginity as soon as the page loads. I can't even talk about anything interesting like programming or muh loonix distros without some joyless normie boasting about how C# can do literally anything and shut up no fun allowed.

Isn't it an SJW hive of shit?

At this point not advocating for a genocide of your own in return for the anuddah shoah makes you a bluepilled SJW.

The only sound response in this whole thread.

I've started to see some pushback against Holla Forums on the greater internet over the last few weeks. It's not a tidal wave yet but it's a start. Some of it's coming from people who are converting to the left, but most of it comes from people who want political curators to fuck off out of their hobbies.

They ban people for wrongspeak.

oh no, that's awful

This shit went incredibly fast.
For example, I was searching on the /vr/ archive about Hardcore Gaming 101 (mainly to see if there are alternatives) and criticism for the site went from being mainly "the site is bad because the reviews are fucking trash" to being almost all "the site is bad because the owner is a SJW commie cuckold" almost overnight after the elections.

Well, which one is it? How new to the internet are you? You are aware of what the internet was like 10 years ago, right?

/r/the_Donald was started by Holla Forumsyps ironically enough.

I guess someone could say that's Something Awful

Is there any hope for reviving boards like that here on fullchan?

I would shitpost on it every day. The next step would be inviting artists over to post their stuff.
I really want a decent place again to anonymously discuss music. Away from the edgelords, off-topic spam and polyps. (Last one might be hard here)

Proof? I know some of them are likely polyps though.

Is this supposed to be a joke? Yes, it actually is awful, because banning people for wrongspeak is how you get SJW-laden boards that don't discuss class at all. Then again, you'd know about that because you fucking goons are the ones who started that trend. You're a bunch of bourg fucks who ruined the internet. You have nothing in common with the working class. You don't belong on this board. Get the fuck out.

someone used my meme

They don't allow actual blatant racism (ironic/comedic racism is fine) and they enforce board topics. Its not LITERALLY WORSE THAN TUMBLER!!! just because they have rules.

Their definition of racism is "thinking Obama wasn't literally the Messiah." Try again.

This is the best argument for doing the thing I wanted to do anyway.

Underrated post.

/n/ and Holla Forums where mistakes. I wish I could go back to 2003 before any of this garbage happened. I wish project chanology never happened. I wish Moot never reopened /n/ or Holla Forums. I wish it had stayed as a hobbyist centered website for otaku with no real political bias and nobody fucking complained about "degeneracy". I want to go back.

alri turny

Basically this I like Holla Forums, but let's face it politics and image boards were not a good idea because the format does much better at being about hobbies than for serious demanding subjects like politics

I cannot imagine a bigger waste of time.

If anything people from /mu/ are the most well-adjusted out of the entire board and music is the cheapest and most accessible artform

;.;

I think free speech/freedom of information core is still with us.

Some got co-opted into nazi ideology because they are too gentlemanly to get a gf, some to ancap because they cant see through capitalisms internal contradictions, and some to gamer gate because they're lumpen and opiate is life.

4chan is long dead because newfags. Or it could be considered a shroud. A cyber armor made of useful idiots. The core lurks and shows itself in the middle of 500+ reply threads between piles of shitposting.

You just have to wake up and convert the ones who have been self educating. Suddenly the tiles fall into place and they see the structure for what it is.

It's what made me leave 4chan all together, I used to enjoy some /int/ generals but then it became /r/The_Donald and Holla Forumsacks destroying any conversation and just derailing it to lol stupid nigger xddddd

I used to browse halfchan /mu/ 2014-2015. Back then there were some Holla Forums shitters but for the most part it was pretty apolitical with some left wing sympathies. I'm not surprised it happened, Holla Forums enjoys spreading it's cancer to the other boards.

/metal/ was pretty good before the summer of 2015.

unless you're a "le metal is for children xD" memer than shit the fuck off.

Hey I reamember these people.

This, /metal/ only cares about the burns really since almost every subgenre there has been labelled as nu male to assblast people

It's the same annoying screeching with Holla Forums. You can't discuss games without it being about "SJW" and "niggers niggers niggers!".

i don't think you can take back a community unless you control the mods.
in the case of halfchan, the page sold out to feds and shills when they introduced gold accounts for professional shitposters and handed out mod positions to intelligence agencies.

if anyone knows an international community with good moderation, please share.

...

Supposedly 4chan mods are most bootlickers of the previews mods
there must be a hole to get in

The state of /g/ is really sad. Lainchan can be a good alternative but it too slow

Just visited lainchan for the first time. Thanks for the accidental recommendation, its fucking great.

I've started going on 420chan specifically because of that. Although you get the occasional Holla Forumslack most discussions stay very much out of politics.
The downside however, is that any board that isn't about drugs is going to be pretty slow.

Whom'st made this thread

Where do you ever see politics on /a/? I never see it. Then again, i don't go too much on /a/ these days.

Can anyone help me with the retard talking about "muh hyoomen nacha"

Holla Forums is a natural force, and lefty/pol/ is a reaction to Holla Forums. Leftism may create memes, but at the core of those memes is always an intention to spread leftism. At the core of Holla Forums memes is fun. And edgy fun, which is 6 million times more potent. Leftist memes end up with some faggot forcing you to read Marx, Holla Forums memes end up with pure anarchic absurd.

This is exactly why it's successful and why leftism will never be.

...

Dumb and proud

I've never heard anyone say this but actual retards from Holla Forums.

the only downside to leftist memes is they often require some esoteric understanding, they're less accessible than the pure troll spew put out by Holla Forums.

Bullshit. /mu/ Holla Forums and Holla Forums are still prrtty much Holla Forums free on halfchan. You will get the occasional poltard post but he will get bashed and rediculed until he stops posting

...
