Can you guys stop being so fucking boring?

Can you guys stop being so fucking boring?

I've been here a few months and I don't think I will ever actually leave, but holy fuck some of you people are really tedious. It's no wonder Holla Forums and aut-right groups are popular- they at least try to have fun once in a fucking while.

Look, I get that understanding theory and reading is important, but what's more important is cultivating this userbase. As much as we like to meme about it, this is probably the largest actually Leftist community on the internet. It's important that we try to have fun with it, because wallowing in the misery of Capitalism isn't going to make it die any faster.

Our goal should be to surpass Holla Forums on this site, at the very least, and then hopefully start educating people both on this site and (hopefully) halfchan. This will happen a lot faster if we make this place less of a depressohole.

Just my two cents on the meta state of leftypol. What do you think? Am I just being autistic?

how do i have fun

Strange, I went to 4pol and it was just a bunch of assblasted faggots getting mad about non-whites and irrelevant shiting. It wasn't fun at all except for the few posters to tried to disturb the consensus on a board with 100,000 posters. A lot of hardcore moralfaggotry dressed up with "gas the kikes" edginess.

Honestly, I think Holla Forums is the best shitposting board on the internet, its much better then classic Holla Forums used to be prior to the various newfag influxes post-2008. That's just my opinion tho fam.

This place is irrelevant whether it stays like it is right now or if more people come. As long as no serious reading is done, the board will consist mostly of red coloured liberals who do nothing for communism.

For this I think we need a serious vanguard that must make the newfags read, even if this doesn't guarantee they will do anything beyond the immediacies of the computer.

What, you want fucking get threads? Die.

This whole website is getting boring to me, tbh
I'm not entirely sure what happened, but now I spend my time actually doing things.

By not being a commie. This is the fatal flaw in your doctrine fags

The main reason I use Holla Forums is because I think it's fun. The entirety of halfchan is swamped with idiots just meming it up and it sucks.

If you don't think Holla Forums is fun then go somewhere else.

I don't have much to say, except that this is probably not going to happen any time soon. Recruiting posters, making memes, and discussing theory are all fine, but we should do those things because they're useful, not because we want to beat Holla Forums. If we start making memes in an effort to beat Holla Forums, then they're going to be forced, in other words shit.

You can't force humor or memes, if a place is " no fun" it's because the community is no fun, and usually the community is determined by the material conditions you're not going to alter it by making meta-threads.

This tbh.
Whenever I see someone say "b-but Holla Forums is fun" I have no fucking idea what the hell they are talking about.

We need more theory threads TBH.

Which it has been doing successfully by being tedious and information dense on the one hand and constantly shitposting in the other

Affirmative

Unfortunately this board also has its share of retards who dismiss authors because


Still, it would not be bad, because the stickies inevitably tend to be the most ignored threads. So I suggest creating a thread for this again.

I'm sorry I don't consider " le ironic maymay XD" and "edgy" humor to be fun. Rightists, after you peel away the shock value, are fucking boring. It's like eating a candy apple but after all the sweet stuff is gone the fruit is rotten and worm-infested.

best post

What bothers me the most about 'why can't you guys have more fun' threads is that they tend to just be 'why can't you guys just shitpost more.' They don't want to actually put in the effort to be entertaining or write clever or amusing posts or develop unique threads, they just want someone to furnish them with amusing pictures and 'dank memes.'

You look at classic posts or epic threads from the glory days of 4chan and you see things that people put at least a modicum of effort into. That's the bread and butter of web content: effort. If you aren't willing to put it in, then you don't deserve to get it.

This

What's fun to you? Talk about how video games will be under socialism? What's the most leftist anime out there?
This place is for shitposting, it's completely irrelevant as Holla Forums also is and both palces will always be irrelevant.
Oh and pol is not funny, is boring af, filled with generic people. They remind me of my classmates back in highschool and university.
Just with the fact that they use "redpill" a lot is cringey as fuck. The most deep they can get is with a fucking standard hollywood film that used to be referenced a lot in the early 00's.

This board isn't for entertainment purposes fam. You can water down theory and reduce it to facebook memes like "seize the means" and "fully automated luxury gay space communism", it's an excellent way to kill off your movement.

Remember that the alt-right has no actual political power because it's just memes.

wew lad

You heard me.

So what is this board for, pray tell?

...

it's shit like Milo that makes me think the alt-right is one giant PMS

Former alt-righter here. Holla Forums may not be fun but, at least when I was alt-right, there were lots of other place that we congregated. Far right twitter was really active too and there was a real sense of camaraderie, everyone followed everyone else and backed each other up. Honestly, that sense of community is probably what attracted a lot of the NEETs and the people that felt alienated.

>it's a "leftism and/or Holla Forums should pander to teens and shut-ins even more than it already does" episode
no thanks

I guess there is just a lot more reactionary twitter out there. We do need unity though.

What do you mean? We have a lot of good memes here at Holla Forums. Pic related

Yeah, it doesn't seem like there are nearly as many people on Left Twitter. There are lots of reactionary and far-right forums and such… They have a huge forum and podcast network (TheRightStuff). When I was a reactionary, the podcasts there were getting 50k+ listens a week, the forum had 1k+ members, we did troll raids, and most of us were on twitter. There was also websites like the Daily Stormer, which had click-baity Buzzfeed type short articles, and there were several live podcasts/Google Hangouts on the weekends. You also had sites like thealternativehypothesis, Counter Currents, and Iron March which tried to intellectually justify the racist and authoritarian views of the right.

The far-right had/had a pretty comprehensive online community, and it's a really tempting thing for young, alienated people who feel like they're alone or hopeless. It's frightening how effective it is at bringing those people into the fold too. I considered myself a progressive Dem before I got mixed up with the far-right. I wasn't racist, anti-semitic, or authoritarian.

We could use these same methods to grow the online left.

...

That we do not have. Holla Forums is an island of materialism in a sea of idealist idiocy. There is nowhere else for us to congregate. Also, social media is shit.

Part of this was that it had massive funding from various sources for obvious reasons. But yeh we could definitely do with a more entrenched online presence, cos after a certain point it replicates itself

Enjoy being wrong I guess

Its easier to have fun when you're a braindead Nazi who blames anything wrong in his life on da joos, or am I the only autist here who gets fucking depressed the more I read theory

Yeah, there is a lot of astroturf in the alt-right and sjw communities.
