Did some lurking on 4chan and alt-right discords and found nothing suggesting it hasn't lost steam

2018-01-21 15:25:41 UTC  

@cmdline dude, nothing from an extremist group (IGD) is credible

2018-01-21 15:26:16 UTC  

all they did was screenshot 1 4chan post and a few discord posts with 0 context other than mindless speculation

2018-01-21 15:28:09 UTC  

though i'm not saying neo-nazis don't exist, it's not actually that hard to find where they crawl online

2018-01-21 15:28:43 UTC  

and often times it's 4chan that facilitates troll raids against the KKK, pedophiles, and neo-nazis

2018-01-21 15:31:09 UTC  

I know nothing about IGD and was sent the post and asked to check its credibility. Idrc about the source but from the lack of knowledge of the event in this discord and others i'm fairly sure there isn't much to it. thanks tho. Also /pol/ seems pretty far alt-right to me, so my experience with 4chan in recent years doesn't really mesh with that account.

2018-01-21 15:31:44 UTC  

but then again, /pol/ is hardly a fair sample.

2018-01-21 15:31:55 UTC  

/pol/ is mainly shitposters and people disenfranchised with politics all-together - theyve become observers/mockers of politics

2018-01-21 15:32:13 UTC  

the argument is more that the 4chan "tolerates" hate

2018-01-21 15:32:16 UTC  

/pol/ is whatever the people going there are into at the time

2018-01-21 15:32:37 UTC  

but in reality they just tolerate everything because it's all a cesspool lmfao

2018-01-21 15:32:41 UTC  

^

2018-01-21 15:32:54 UTC  

All of that may be true, but if we go there right now, is a 50-50 mix of random stuff and hateful shit-posting

2018-01-21 15:33:10 UTC  

gore, bestiality, borderline pedophilia, you name it
whether it be edgy memes or actually fucked up people you will find it there

2018-01-21 15:34:08 UTC  

i only go on 4chan if i'm in a good mood and have to call a support hotline 😄

2018-01-21 15:34:30 UTC  

in terms of /pol/'s values on average it's definitely closer to the alt-right than progressive left (at least in the past year)

2018-01-21 15:34:45 UTC  

but 90% of it is reactive

2018-01-21 15:35:15 UTC  

and the progressive left just happens to be putting out the most garbage in volume

2018-01-21 15:36:01 UTC  

so it's normal to see

2018-01-21 15:36:42 UTC  

reddit is more constructive assuming you can find moderators that allow politics and are mostly neutral when things get heated

2018-01-21 15:41:44 UTC  

IGD is pretty bad. I think it was them who had articles about how to sabotage train tracks and lots of pro antifa stuff.

2018-01-21 15:43:01 UTC  

Yeah the request to verify came from a lefty prof of mine. Not surprising

2018-01-21 15:43:59 UTC  

Those kinds of people shouldn’t be teachers.

2018-01-21 15:45:19 UTC  

I think she's a pretty fair teacher on her topics. She's not pro-antifa or anything and she covers he topics fairly well. She's far from apolitical but i don't think there is anything wrong with that. College is about encountering people who disagree with you

2018-01-21 15:45:35 UTC  

(I don't mean to sound defensive of her or offended, I'm not)

2018-01-21 15:46:55 UTC  

I don’t know your teacher so I’ll take your word for it but I’m really wary of anyone who takes the far left seriously.

2018-01-21 15:47:47 UTC  

Are you wary of anyone who takes the far-right seriously?

Don't you think its important to be presented with a diversity of opinions, some of them absurd but seriously defended when in college?

2018-01-21 15:48:51 UTC  

I’m wary of both. I don’t think you should shut down extreme views but also be careful to not cross the line of indoctrination.

2018-01-21 15:49:23 UTC  

extreme views on either side have issues..
