The Bat'ko - Murdoch Murdoch drama was the worst thing to happen to this board...

...

Cville is to blame. Americans are to blame like always.

Ok, so it's not like I dislike Bat'ko inherently or anything but the reverb effect he adds to his videos is cancer.

Batkos videos have actually brought a lot of attention to leftypol memes to the point that other webforums are posting them. I suppose that being a good or bad thing is up to interpretation.

what's that?

this, everytime there is a user bump there is a dip in quality.

t. Jason Unruhe

Dips in quality are to be expected when your brand begins to grow in size. That doesn't mean you should chase newer and dumber people off it just means you need to educate and integrate them. If they are too dumb to be salvaged tho then whatever.

Idpol is just another word for "normie" at this point. The people who point out idpol don't actually have a good analysis of what it is besides "IT'S RACE, IT'S SEX, IT'S GENDER".

While they're not wrong, the context in which they're bringing it up has no real concern for actual idpol and whining about the board quality dip in relation to a kind of way of saying "Normies are here", which is incredibly pathetic.

And I know I'm an awful poster, but the "dip" started a long time ago and not just the past week or two.

Yeah unpopular opinion here but I really don't fucking like Bat'ko either. I think the whole "meme war" shit has always been childish internet wank and I think the whole Youtube video flagging war debacle was even worse.

Been posting here for a couple months now and I can say without a doubt that I dunno what you're on about. You're being melodramatic.

His memes brought me to Holla Forums and Holla Forums made me a socialist. I will not have this thread speak ill of him in my presence.

Further proof that cancer only produces more cancer

Rebel brought me here. I wish people cared as much when his channel got deleted

I agree, I think that the core politics of Holla Forums have kept rather nicely considering it has quintupled in size since I first visited. The same cancers still infect us as before but I don't really see them gaining any ground as we gain new members.

This site is being watched by a lotttt of lurkers right now and most of them are not from 4chan's Holla Forums believe it or not.

I don't find Holla Forums youtube content v compelling. muke style videoblogs are SO boring. batko's content is mostly shit but at least its an attempt at something interesting.

...

To outsiders Batko and even Muke's videos are a strange and mysterious thing especially to Americans. They can't comprehend the weird memes and stuff that come out of leftypol as most of their originating content has been hidden from them in modern society. The interest comes in that a lot of people who view these videos wish to understand their meaning… which sometimes brings them here.

We get people whining about how literally anything caused the board to be ruined.

What happened? I'm out of the loop.

Yeah totally Bat'ko m8. However, I'd say that real cause behind all this is r/succ banning anime for being "sexist" or some gay shit

It'll pass. And as long as we can even one person to read Marx or Zizek or Wolff or Lenin, /lefty/ is doing its job.

bat'ko ignore these dicks, you are doing good work.
