How long have you been on Holla Forums and what do you have to say about your time and memories here?

Since late 2014/early 2015. Not sure when it became regular, but other than missing the hoxha shit my experience is the same as . I've read a lot more and some of the threads have been nice, like when satannazi showed her tits because the satanget.

I've used chans for many years, but I only started posting here ~6-7 months ago. I like this place mostly and I think that chans are an incredible medium for leftist discussion because of their lack of identity and their impermanence. You can say stupid shit without having to be afraid of having it thrown back in your face. And leftist disagreements can get heated without it being jarring or intrusive because chan cultures tend to be pretty rude anyways.

Been here since this spring, stumbled upon this place after being a Holla Forumsyp for a year. If it was not thanks to this place taking alt-right arguments and ripping them apart like regularly happens in threads of this place, I would still believe in Holla Forums lies.

In particular I got despooked on racism, but also on sexism and homophobia. Which is funny because the r/socialism and other leftist places who claim to solely focus on idpol couldn't have possibly been able to done that. You guys are seriously doing god's work and I will call myself a socialist alone because your socialist board has been of tremendous help in making me a less shitty human being, and teaching me how to think independently from shitty spooks like hating brown people, believing in cultural marxism or that women shouldn't be able to vote because they are born nation wreckers, which I unironically used to believe. I'll keep lurking this place for a long time and have replaced lurking Holla Forums to lurking this place instead, and sometimes posting when necessary.

Thank you guys :3

READ BORDIGA DON'T LISTEN TO THE TANKIES

No, no you fucking do not. Reddit Obesity was an autistic faggot who was only on here to attention whore, scream about how he was going to kill himself if he did not get more attention (I remember no less than three threads by him on that topic). He also tried to arrange raids on Holla Forums from his Dubtrack, because, surprise surprise, nobody wanted to feed an attention hungry tripfag. He was one of the many autistic tripfags who fled to Bunkerchan solely to cry about how bad the board was for not giving him more (You)s.

Wew, this is pretty heartwarming. I grew out of Holla Forums years before I came here, but letting go of that stuff was pretty liberating for me. I stopped being so resentful of the world, and I became much more well-adjusted. I'm glad Holla Forums isn't irrationally opposed to reactionary ideas, it's one of this site's best qualities.

I never left, i only got stronger

Been here since the day GG exodus happened. People here were full of shit about what happened and about left theory then, and they're still full of shit now. Things have frankly not improved, but also not gotten worse.

I think you all need to read a book, unfortunately that's no good when you don't think to begin with.

I think I'm on here more than any other poster probably

You've been insufferable since day 1, and you've only gotten more insufferable and pretentious since. I think that you need to be way more humble. You're just drunk off of that Hegelian idealism, and it's got you feeling all divine and shit. You don't have to give that up, but could you consider not being a pretentious dick all the time? You don't know as much as you think you do btw.

I can never leave, one fucker here blow the fuck out of me so bad i became a hoxhaist, it never ends

Have a dialectic with me and prove that I don't know.

I don't want you to like me, I just want you to know you don't know what you think you do.

Tripfags in general are always trash

Chans for years, but Holla Forums for like a month. Mostly lurking here and there.

Does anybody remember /Namibia/?

Exactly the same here. Believe it or not, Holla Forums ideas in all their cynicism have much more hope for humanity than the ones at Holla Forums where you are required to be a misanthrope of sorts to be taken seriously.

I do lot of Holla Forums browsing from work as well, like right now. What kind of threads do you lurk the most, user?

Idk, sounds like a lot of work with little payoff.
Why is it that you think this is important? What are you getting out of it?

All the threads about social alienation and related no gf/r9k type shit

It's just what I think about the most in my life and what I feel most terrible about. Poverty is manageable for me, it's not like I spend much anyway. But this terrible loneliness, that I can't deal with

There are more tankies than when I first came here and it pisses me the fuck off.

And this is why >you< don't learn. You're not actually critical, you're like virtually everyone here: comfortable in your dogma and seeking to remain in your dogmatic constraints.

I don't get into debates of one side against another, I get into discussions of critical completeness. If I left Marx it is fundamentally because I was forced to face the incompleteness and realize how unobvious and simplistic a lot of Left thinking is. There are things which stupid normies understand yet that Leftists are literally blind to because the dogma's simplistic explanation has become so comfortable. Most of you who even know theory only know it dogmatically, not critically. You've learned the ways it works, but never thought of why it works.

This is a difference, of course, between people who care about truth and people who just want answers to their presupposing questions which preclude certain answers. You say I assume I know more than I do, but you don't know what my stances really are besides my shitposts here.

It has to do with redditors and twitter kids coming in, they usually become bookchinists and go back to reddit for some reason

Forgot to take off flag

I know what you feel, I am kind of avoiding people and focused on my work right now as well, but I've also had periods when I was incredibly social. I remember waking up each day feeling so incredibly happy to face the day back when I had my first gf, to whom I lost virginity and spent lots of time together just cuddling and doing stuff, not even speaking that much. That relationship devastated me after she dumped me and I haven't been able to feel happy without the use of intoxicating substances since that relationship, even when I was dating some other girls. My first gf was qt too, last I checked she started a family with some other guy already that looks a bit awkward like me :'(

I don't want to brag, I typed this for you, because I can assure you 100% that even if you live decade upon decade of your life in complete loneliness, that one moment when you do manage to get a girlfriend, that happiness you will feel will pay off all those years in isolation. I have witnessed first hand that there are women on this planet that are weird enough to accept a weirdo like yourself, so you don't really have to change yourself, you only need to force yourself to get into any sort of socializing at all. If you think this is too much effort, then you have too little imagination to imagine how tremendous it's like to love somebody and be loved, but it's always worth the effort, no matter how much the effort is.

Having a dialectic with someone as hostile and pretentious as you are would indeed have very little payofff. I love that you immediately jumped to the least flattering interpretation of my post, A.W. It really highlighted your many neuroses in a very concise way.
I've read your blog for a while now, and even though you've gotten better you still write in a manic, arrogant style that betrays the fact that you're still learning and growing. And that's OK. I just wish you'd be a lot more understanding of people who haven't progressed as far as you have intellectually. The fact that you aren't nicer to people who know less than you do is insanely hypocritical. Your blog is pretty gud tho, keep it up.

Having a dialogue would require an actual point to dialogue about, which you never gave.

Leftypol is trash, I treat it as trash. I'm not here to impress or make friends with its common users. I'd like to know what's arrogant or presumptuous about my blog(s). Of course I'm still learning, that's the whole point of writing the blogs to begin with: they're my investigations into issues for myself rather than by just taking what someone else says.

Redpill me on Einstein :^)

That would require you to know Einstein. Idk why you think you're superior when you don't even know the orthodox ontology of the theory, let alone have any capacity to judge a critique of said ontology and interpretation.

You're literally a moron saying that since you believe Einstein was some alien brainiac you refuse to believe he could ever be wrong. Well, good for you, that's literally the nationalist sentiment of someone who stands by their country because it's so great, but they have no idea what's so great about it other than that it's the current superpower of the world.

Honestly this attitude disgusts me. I'm already pretty old (early thirties) and I think I've resolved that I'd never let some woman who agreed to date because she had no other options have that kind of power over me. Only relationship I had was with a legit hooker but she moved away.

"Love" is joke and it's used to take advantage of people only.

And you never gave one either, so I guess we're at an impasse. You're the one who proposed a dialog in the first place :^)
You clearly misunderstand what Holla Forums is for.
Why the fuck are you here though? You clearly hate it here, and you're constantly complaing every time you post. Why continue going here? Why not just leave?
The tone mostly, but the fact that you've written about topics and then later you've written about the same topics in much clearer terms also give it away.
BUT IF YOU'RE STILL LEARNING THEN IT'S HYPOCRITICAL TO SHIT ON OTHER PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO STILL LEARNING WITHOUT ACTUALLY TRYING TO HELP THEM FIRST. YOUR POSTS ARE MOSTLY PRETENTIOUS, RUDE, AND UNHELPFUL. CUT IT THE FUCK OUT.

Like many marxists, rebel was disillusioned by marxism not having all the answers to his questions. It happens.

Dialectics at dawn it is then. I'll instruct my manservant to pack my articles right away.

Did you have a good time with your friends this weekend A.W?

Here lies A.W, forever a brainlet.

You said you feel lonely though, and relationship is a better way to alleviating loneliness than just mere friendships. Early thirties is still relatively young. It's not going to get better and you will eventually find yourself wanting to settle down with somebody. I don't think it's a healthy state of mind to be in denial about this, but if you choose to be in denial and going voluntary celibacy mode, you're not gonna survive in this world where you are bombarded 24/7 by social conditioning messages, unlike in medieval times where celibate monks could live in seclusion and enjoy being completely cut off from the rest of the world. The sooner you are rethinking your denial, less painful it will be to get in a different mindset.

I have a shred of dignity left still which prevents me from settling down with anyone my age who is available. If I was wealthier I'd just ship a wife from overseas or just move to one of those countries and be done with it

How's that got to do with dignity? You seem to have a bad experience with people taking advantage of you in the past and now projecting it. I'm sorry but that's how it sounds to me.

I have to agree, it's getting kind of annoying. I guess that's what happens when you use a silly name for something. Classic ironic shitposting -> unironic shitposting sliding.

Tfw no Detroit commune.

Been here almost 2 and a half years I think.

Nope. One, you claimed something, I wanted to know if you had anything to say of substance, seemingly not. Two, I don't know why anyone would think I'm not constantly learning, it's pretty much something I don't hide, and I have nothing I am ashamed of concerning it. The difference between the people who are still learning, and my own learning, is that I don't open my mouth on things so basic that I have no idea how they could be wrong about them since it literally requires just reading and parroting a book. Even when I first got into Marxism I mostly just kept my mouth shut about things I clearly did not understand for myself, and when I encountered people who clearly knew more than me and corrected me I really took it seriously and tried to understand rather than ignoring the problems they presented and running to the closest theory book that did the thinking for me so I could parrot a point I didn't understand. My learning has mostly built up rather than down, deepened instead of shifted sideways. My recent rearticulations (which I clearly make visible in disclaimers) aren't a running back from original stances, but are instead a deepening of explanation of those earlier stances. It's not that I didn't know what the fuck I was saying before like most people here, it's that I now see there was more to say than before.

What are all these blogs for? To force myself to learn the way I learn best: by putting myself on the spot and forcing myself to articulate the things which otherwise are just vague ideas I'm not sure about. The funniest thing is coming to realize over time that what I thought I was too stupid to understand in fact was something that people who talked about it were actually too stupid to realize was just word salad.

I like leftypol, I just like to break the circle jerk of morons who think they have anywhere near an adequate idea of things. There are some rare damned good posters here who know their stuff, and I appreciate their short lived time on this board since most of them will give up sooner than later and just leave because there is no point here.

So no, I'm not going to stop. I want you all to know that you don't know what you think, and that you're full of yourselves. Say all you want, but unlike you I've got bite to my bark. You claimed I didn't know as much as I thought, you never said why. Is it seriously that I've clearly learned? That's your proof? I knew what I was talking about then, and I know it even better now.

The earliest file I know that I downloaded from this place is dated 5/28/2015. Fucking hell..

like Lenin says, "they are BOTH WORSE"

I've been on here since it almost opened. I made the trot flag. I feel kind of bad because it looks like garbage next to the rest of them.

This site has brought me some laughs, some tears, some friends. It's helped me rethink my ideas on politics, ethics, and how to analyze things. Definitely helped push me further left and I wouldn't be an anarchist without it.

I never read a political book in my entire time here.

I'm glad Checkers is gone. I'm surprised Gorillaposter has seriously stayed here this fucking long.

My only major claim here has been that you're a dickhead.
People come here to discuss their understandings of things. Parroting something isn't the same as understanding something, and often times the people here are misinformed about some topics. Being a dick to people for getting some detail wrong isn't productive you stupid fuck, and it doesn't help deepen their knowledge or make this place better; in fact, it actually makes this place worse.
You're not breaking up a circlejerk when you're an asshole, you're just making it more about yourself. It's masturbatory.
WHY? Why is this something you want? Please actually answer this. If you only respond to one thing in the post please let it be this.
You're projecting.
Your sophomoric tone along with the fact that you're improving is pretty good evidence that you're full of shit on at least a couple topics. This isn't what my argument's about though, and I don't want to get hung up on the specifics here. You admit that you're still learning, which is all I was trying to establish with this point anyways, you dense fuck.

I remember that thread. I was going to procure materials and supplies and set up some security.

What was it we had settled on? one of the big abandoned warehouses? And we were going to trade with people locally and try to recruit more and more of the unemployed there.

That was fucking great. The day Holla Forums decided to move to africa to get away from black people.

Anyone else remember the desu raids, where we all got into the bunkers?

Been here about 3 years, since we had 500 users and the anarcho-nihilist was trying to make a commune in Detroit.

I still doubt you're AW because AW had a trip.

However you're clearly that pretentious and autistic, so I'm kind of torn.

Came here from Reddit about a year ago when I became sick of the regular mod drama and shit-tier discussions there.
Best moments here were probably the UK and French election threads, since I'd never really followed any foreign election that wasn't American before.

I keep hearing that he/it was cute but I've never seen proof of it. In fact I remember there being several trap attention whores when I came here that I never see anymore.

I feel like every single internet community I've lurked in or been a part of has deteriorated over the past three years. The entire internet just feels lonely now.

Dialectics are critical analysis of stuff.

This

Y'know what? Going back and reading your older posts, it's easier when I'm drunk, because then I can get past your general assholishness and get to what you're actually saying.

Maybe i'll look at more of what you have.

You're like 90% right about leftypol though.

been on /leftypaul/ for around a year now
I enjoy theory threads even if I don't post in them too often, there was that one italian leftcom poster who was quite active in that regard, not sure if they are still around
as well as that one lenin hat who had solid arguments

best post in thread tbh

so basically you hate yourself so much you can't even imagine anyone ever being truly interested in you as a person? or is it that you consider yourself superior to your peers and your sense of dignity is that you won't settle for anything less than the cultural ideal of an around 20-year-old lover? am I reading this correctly? the solution to your loneliness problem seems to be one of orientation rather than methodology.

Man this guy's sassy. Who is this?

Whoa. Is that allowed?

Been here almost everyday for 6 months or so. I've been browsing different chans since I was like 13 and before I found Holla Forums the only place I had to discuss socialist politics was reddit, so obviously I was very happy I found and gave this place a shot.

I'm wasting way too much time here right now though. Too often I have youtube/netflix open in one tab and 10+ leftypol threads open, waiting for that little (1) to pop up somewhere so I can reply to someone with my dumb opinions, and then I just do that for hours. I could use all the time I spend on Holla Forums reading actual theory instead. I think I will take a break from this place for a while.

...

I'm gonna report you just to be safe ok?

i'm wondering if anyone here used to post on lf back in the day on SA? it was quite a bit better than Holla Forums now and i think we ought to look up to lf when talking about how to develop our community. it was legendary when a couple of lfers threatened to assassinate obama and got the whole subforum shut down lol. why not put out a fatwa against trump? that'll give us a lot more points than lf ever had.

Tbh man discussing theory in an austistic combatitive manner is a really good learning tool, teaches you to make your positions more and more robust, also the variety of posters here means you answer crits from many different angles

Because I care about truth, not opinions. People here are misinformed, but it's amazingly rare that anyone admits they didn't know what they were talking about after being called out. Sometimes, people here are even right… for the wrong reasons, and I'm a contrarian who likes people to be right for the right reasons.

Bullshit. I've been around for a long time, this is so rare that to claim it is part of this board's 'culture' is like saying that racism doesn't exist because Obama became president. It happens, but it happens in spite of this board and not because of it.

Prove me wrong. Go through the blog esssays I've put out into the web with my name on it, because unlike you I'm not afraid, and show me. That's all you people ever do, claim someone is wrong without a single argument to offer.

Oh, so you don't know? You just >feel< I don't know because of my tone? Not an argument. You'd have better luck arguing with phrenology than this.

FBI or Holla Forums shitposter? We may never know.

first pic i saved from leftypol

Good times

*Communalists

I've been here since the beginning. Even remember that autistic /sen/ thing people on here used to take part in. Always been a libsoc of various flavors since I've been on here, but I went from a vague notion of what I thought society should be to a more concrete idea of why things are fucked and what I would want the future to look like

Remember when the PF joined up with the other groups in a huge participatory alliance and blew the fuck out of the rightwing groups? This was the reaction of the leader of the Holla Forums group.

That whole thing almost didn't even happen because of some mautist by the name of panopticon
tbf though that coalition did end up killing the board

Somewhat true, the board was dying out as people were leaving by that point, but that was probably the final blow.
Lefties win, though.

a few years. I hate this place but everywhere else is worse.

that's a stalin quote, brainlet

It's a real shame it never happened. I'm in Australia so I couldn't do much to help.

Almost forgot.
Made the spurdo flag too. I'm surprised how much use it's gotten.

Best flag tbh

Since the first or second month. In rough order. We're coming bucko. Checkers. Alunya. Jason notices us. We collect money for papa wolff. Cargill draw girl. Some other stuff probably. Wolff says we are an interesting group of people. Holla Forums is down. Bo bans everybody for imperialism.

Been hare for over half a year and have finally started reading Marx because of it

lmao what? why does saying that lf was the greatist leftist community in the recent history of the internet make me a an FBI agent or Holla Forums shitposter? i'm just someone who wants Holla Forums to improve. and you realize the assassination thing was a joke, right?

do you actually know anything about lf?

I'm so glad BO has cut it out with that shit

It has made me lose all respect for the left as a movement and I've become extremely cynical. Most of you are as retarded as Holla Forums in one way or another, and I wouldn't trust the overwhelming majority of people on this board not to turn around and stab me in the back after a revolution.

I knew the liberals on reddit were bad, but I also knew they weren't really leftists at all. This board is the closest thing to a real left I've found, and it's shit.

What ideology are you?

Stay mad, famalam

What were you expecting of a shitty chan board?
Oh don't worry about that. They'll stab you in the back before the revolution even starts.

Rebel was never a Marxist.

Rebel was whatever book he last 'read' but if anything I mostly remember him using the Christ Commie flag

That was after he read Kierkegaard.

It's literally in the list of rules now.

Since the beginning. I wanted to leave this place many times but I have nobody else to talk politics with and it gets lonely.

I've been here since late 2014 early 2015 after my job at walmart turned me from being basic bitch republican to a hard communist. I remember where every ancom was pricklycactus, every christ com was rebel and every blackflag was N1x

n1x used the black-grey flag though and there was another very prolific shitposter using it who would always post slightly lewd anime pictures with their post.

Yeah but he's not being an absolute retard anymore when it comes to it's enforcement (like banning people who are critical of assad etc)

Eh blackflage an-nil flag have always been mistaken for each other. I also remember Yui poster

>tfw you're looking forward your entire day for (1) to pop up in one particular thread you wrote a long-ass reply to
>other thread where you wrote a short stupid shitpost gets (163) instead

About a year and a half and I'm surprised how much more I was able to learn from folks here than other places.

About four months or so. Thanks to Holla Forums i started reading Marx, began to understand the world we live in, found out that left can meme and most importantly this board made me hate reddit

About 3 days.
Surprisingly fun to browse, you guys are ok.

About a year. People complain about the board and it's not without it's flaws, but Holla Forums has pushed me further to the left. It also helped in not only properly identifying identity politics but also their cause and alternative. There's also plenty of stories about Holla Forums shitposters who end up converted so clearly this is doing something right.

Also, the BO isn't really as bad as everyone says. Most of the complaints usually come from brainlets who ape out whenever they're reminded trans people exist. Have a picture of my cat, she passed away on the first and this board (along with my partner and other friends) have really helped me deal with her death.

Just over a year

I wish I had paid attention to that. I never cared about it enough to check. On a similar topic, the salt from the Holla Forums winter cup win was legendary, and may have killed the concept for good.
infinitycup.wikia.com/wiki/Winter_2016_Infinity_Cup

Where are the smart leftists on the internet? I thought this was it, but now none of you can even touch my arguments any more. If you point me to where they are, I promise I'll stop shitposting here. TIA

Like what?

"Hitler and the fascists were actually secret Marxists, you have to believe me guys!!" is one of them

I came here in 2015 but only lurked. When the Alt-Right started mass banning and blocking people on Funnyjunk.com in 2016 I started to post and become more frequent here.

I thought Holla Forums was going to be like Holla Forums but then I saw that people were not spooked by Communism or Socialism. I had a few good discussions whith real Communist anons here and noticed that Holla Forums was a more intelligent place than Holla Forums. I never learned anything from Holla Forums, people here know theroy, not just rascist or antisemitic buzzwords. I think Holla Forums has a real community because we don't have as many users. Overall, I love it here

kek

I have been here since shortly after the creation of the board.
This place has been a roller-coaster in terms of quality from the heights of the early hoxhaist posters to the depths of the Reddit anarchist invasion that drove them off, from entertaining enough fellow trip-fags like Yui to the living garbage that is afroplasm.

Regardless of all of the ups and downs however, I still do like this place to quite a high degree.
As insufferable as I find some of you reds, I'm quite happy to be able to share this board with you lot.
Here's to many more such years.

I do, it was equally as embarrassing as the commune rubbish that was popular here for a few weeks.

Rebel was horrid to deal with.
In-between making threats regarding that cat-girl draw fag on the IRC, he would always shill Kierkegaard.
I hope that he is happier now, selling his trap ass to pay rent.

this place is shit but there is no leftist orgs where I live and no other good leftist online communities

Holla Forums is pretty cool. In my 15 years or so of internet, it's only the 2nd place where I can talk freely about leftism, the first being Laissez's Fair (RIP in F).

Anyway, a couple of pearls of wisdom I've gathered during all this wasted time:

One is that a whole damn lot of people complain too often that the quality of the community is getting worse, and 99% of the time it's bullshit. The person complaining is just having a bad time or getting tired or whatever.

The other is that, people who keep talking about how a community they frequent shit yet can't stop posting in it are poison. This does nothing but, ironically, drive the quality down, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy. The whiners in question also almost inevitably becomes cynical, chronic shitposters.

FORUMS THEORY

I started coming here in 2015 but I only started posting regularly early 2017.
Dunno, most of the people here are badly read and we rarely create good contents.

Been here since early 2015 but took me a while before actively visiting and posting.
This place feels like the only community since I left school that I really feel a part of and no matter how much flame and arguments we have I still genuinely feel a sense of community and brotherhood amongst us. So thanks for the laughs and shit. I should probably go outside more but fuck it.
Blogpost over.

You're such an infantile retard, I didn't want your justifications for being a dick, I wanted your reasons for being a dick. Why is being an asshole something that you enjoy doing?

here is proof

...

Can anyone explain what this cup bullshit even is? I didn't understand it back then and I still don't now.

...

You put together football teams and AI plays them against each other. It's mostly based on luck.

Oh so it's exactly the same thing as the current "hungry games" shit then? Did they replace it with that because of the butthurt from leftypol winning?

It was better because it would be livestreamed, like watching a real match and when Alunya scored this would play:
youtube.com/watch?v=WNqqByKiiAA

Join an organisation or something. Join your local Labour Party branch of your dee ess ayy or whatever exists in your country. You can still be a lefty but trust me browsing here is only going to make your loneliness worse.

fuck I lurk a lot too I think at least 5 hours a day?

Me too. I do it at work and at home because outside of porn or music the rest of the internet is boring and my job is shit.

for me it's uni-guitar-shitpost cycle and I do some shit in the middle. I tried to break my internet addiction but I don't know m8 it's really hard

Been here a few months in my spare time
So far this place is shit, but I like to laugh at the shitposts

I lift weights and somethimes fuck girls but iktf. I lost contact with all my highschool friends and haven't really been close to anyone since, on top of that Holla Forums is more entertaining than most things on tv, in theatres, or vidya.

Weird feel tbh

Probably bullshit. I'd need to see it as a boy first.
Pretty cute though.

he never did that.

I remember when I posted zippocat in his thread for the first time, good times.

I've been here for over a year, and I can honestly say that I hope the cheka slaughters nearly everyone who browses this board.

I dicovered it about two years ago. Don't post much, i mostly just lurk.

That's not thorough enough.

Been on since around the first hundred or so posters, this board is responsible for turning me from a life stylist into an actual communist cause of all the peer pressure to actually read books. then again I've also been recommended a lot of trash books that wasted my time, but it was pretty cool when our team wrecked in the icup

I'm here for the pdfs tbh, I think after drifting from browsing a bunch of boards on Hirochan for years I'm done with memes, anyone feel similar?

Since late 2015

I've been here since late 2014 or early 2015. I visited the board once a year prior, hoping it would have been /socdempol/, because I didn't actually realize wtf communism was and that my political and economic beliefs were already pretty much in line. Like most people new to socialism, I was confused as to where I stood for a while, but always leaned to the libertarian side of the (admittedly over simplistic) political compass. Now I know enough to say with confidence that I don't actually know enough to say absolutely where I stand.

Around 2016, existential early life crisis hit and I became a depressed blob for half a year. Then year after that I was significantly less entrenched in self loathing, but I was still a husk with no hope for a decent future. I'm better now, and not because of medication, but during that year and a half, Holla Forums was one place I could always talk about issues that were bigger than me, and that seemed to buoy my brain above the pain.

a few months, occasionally lurking. You're all idiots and you should kill yourselves immediately.

luv2u bb

you'll convert when you have a shitty boss

I've had a shitty boss. It didn't drastically change my political stance or my worldview.

You clearly didn't have a shitty enough boss

3sectarian5 me. Pretentious fags.
Usually don't go on leftypol more than once a week.

you got the ancom flag direction wrong, brainlet.

Dunno man I'm really trying to go on with my life I can't believe I wasted so much time here

Been here for 3 or 4 months. I discovered this place because of youtube recommendations but thought it was dead (damn you 8ch.pl), so I posted on /int/ asking for leftist imageboards and an user told me that the site I visited wasn't the real Holla Forums. I like it in here, there is some oc and it's not overpopulated like 4chan. I also hoard pdfs but only have read 3 leftist books.

Don't flatter yourself, kid.
I based the direction off of the CNT-FAI flag.

Since 2015. This place has changed a lot. We have less trip fags now, but the shitposting is at an all time high.

Because he was a christfag. Of course marxism isn't going to explain why he's not just gonna rot in the dirt when he dies.
Rebel is a coward.

Isn't Gorillaposting just a meme at this point rather than one person doing it?

What was it?

Ever since Holla Forums became a hive of hysterical neocons and Imkampfy decided to ban books.
This board is surprisingly chill. Even though people tear into ideas - and each other - I am surprised how much better the atmosphere here is than on Holla Forums.
It actually reminds me somewhat of what Holla Forums used to be, minus the rabid antisemitism.

This. Holla Forums has unironic shilling for nuclear räce war. Their "Utopia" involves the deaths of billions and the destruction of most of this world.
They talk about saving 'White people' and European culture, but if it was up to them most whites would be killed for being "duhgenewad".
The greatest minds and artists of Europe would have ended up in concentration camps. The Athens of Plato, Rome, and even Sparta would have been burned for being 'degenerate'. Not dissimilar in fact to how the actual Nazis treated the rest of Europe.

I'm pretty sure most people on Holla Forums can't recite a piece of poetry, play an instrument, perform a classical dance or even discuss classical philosophy and history.
For all intends and purposes, Holla Forums despises Europe. And not just the post-enlightenment. They'd have gladly wiped it all out with nuclear weapons for not being in line with their genocidal fantasies.
Thanks to the board for despooking me. It definitely wouldn't have happened on r/socialism.

...

At someone's university there was an anti-communism poster up on the wall, and iirc the poster there printed off his own anti-capitalism flier and slapped it up beside it.

This really pleased some people to an inordinate degree and things got a little silly.

That is, the poster became a total pussy when it came to the point of putting one up for every other anticom poster there was, and he whined about how it could hurt him. Everyone still wanked him off.

On and off since the GG exodus. Argued with tripfags like Yui, welcomed Rachel and paps, got a lot of pdfs out of the bargain and actually learned something. Can't say it wasn't beneficial.

professional leftymemer since 2014

I have been here for a year, and even though some people hate me for my overly hostile approach, many people seem to love my jokes.
I also regularly teach people how to make massive ordinance and heavy weaponry.

I've realised the answer to all problems is more ANFO. Red jihad now.

You sound like my kind of dude.

I'm still not sure on how to make hardware for some heavier things like cannon.

Are you the guy that explained to me how rifle grenades worked? You should make them into a jpg or a pdf.
Have you heard of our lord and saviour, ANFO? Don't believe the heretics over at TATP!

Cannons are dumb and are military tier since you can fire ordinance from a shotgun. You need to get someone a shotgun and a motocross bike, not a cannon.

Also get more potato cannons.

Forgive the reddit spacing, I am hammered.

I have preference for TNT made into Tritonal for smaller things because of its castability. ANFO seems like a better bulk explosive though.

I honestly have been looking more into some unconventional explosives. I am fairly certain I can make a variant of a fuel-air explosive that is barely more difficult or expensive to make than a molotov but I have yet to test them to see if they combust properly.

I really should get into how to make rifle grenade adapters. They're really not hard at all.

We had some idiot detonate a TATP bucket in the tube here last week. It was pretty pathetic. What do you reckon about detonators? That seems to be the real crux of the issue. I've got dox saying that sulphur based electronic detonators are what you want, but then you see that virgin false detonate his life into the ground with ISIS saying "I was merely pretending to be retarded". Clearly a problem with TATP and not ANFO.
Seriously make some rifle cup guides, the ones you last linked me towards were vague and ambiguous and one of the writers nearly blew his face off in one of the entries.

Will do.
That was more just talking about them as a vague concept, really. I need to put up stuff on how to make one.
I've not got a whole lot on detonators, sadly, because they're one of the more difficult and dangerous parts to make because they need to use an amount of primary explosive.
Hilarious but I kind of wonder if it's a viable concept to use a rocket motor on them.

Yeah the rocket motor was one of the more laughable attempts, but I get the feeling that the net is closing around me and I need everything that I can get before May goes full fucking psycho. I've got the detonator files lying around but they're hash filenames and I'm too drunk to find them. Do you have anything on detonating ANFO? I'm hearing an electrical charge isn't enough.

Like I said, I don't have much on detonators. Best I have is TM-31-210, the Improvised Munition Handbook.

ANFO is a tertiary explosive so you need to build up to it with at least a secondary. I would suggest making some TNT. TATP should also work, but it sounds like your friend made shitty TATP. You could also make dynamite as an initiator, if you feel like risking your fingers making nitroglycerin and you're not exposing it to too much shock.

Really I know more about incendiaries than high explosives.

like a year now, I moved towards rightism in some sense, but either Holla Forums is too awful to post on.

Yui was always shit.

So 2015?

I've been here since mid-2015 so I guess you could call me an oldfag. It hasn't gotten that much worse here in recent memory. Newfags will destroy the board and make it into just another Holla Forums if we let them. I remember back when checkers would constantly be a source of annoyance. I used to bait Satanposter for the lulz back when I was a shitty ancom. I'm happy that this board made me read more theory. Newfags should be exposed to literature but Holla Forums should never become a hivemind.

Fuck.

First post was today. Already have met a lot more knowledgeable people than me here than on the other site.

reddit or revleft? admittedly revleft's quality has gone downhill since rafiq stopped posting and became reddit-tier.

reddit. Didn't know revleft existed.

you should go through 2011-1016 revleft threads tbh, it was too good of a place to pass up.

Been here for about a year now. Have had a lot of with the Webm threads. Also particularly liked the Corbyn posting during the election.

Thanks. I'll check 'em.

almost 2 years i think
everytime a non-ML posts, it's memes and nonsense and i've never been more drawn towards ML than before coming here
i also lost all respect of the little that was left before for other "socialists" and honestly think that MLs only mistake in history was going too easy on these guys and physical anihilation should very much be considered

i've seen alot in my years before coming here, even anarchist squatter communes and the like i tried to be tolerant towards but this tops it all
infantile, illiterate and proud of it radicals
if i had anything good going on in my life i could clinge to i wouldn't even be here but to feel alive i read the dumb shit posted so i feel the urge to torture and kill "opposition".
