the way I see it is that ironically, OF ALL THINGS, /pol/ is one of the last remaining active cultures that resist the shitty culture we have today

LOL

Amazon is restricting sales to paid accounts? Hahahahahahaha

@Extra Crispy It's weird. Places with a culture of high energy are the first, and others always follow suit once the shit's on their doorstep. /pol/ sees the shit down the line and is like AWHELLNAW before it gets to them.

there's lots of other online cultures that are resisting it, but they aren't currently in the media spotlight like /pol/ mostly because they don't have the /b/ tradition of trying to get named on the news

Gamergate, Sopa, PIPA, TPP are examples

But /pol/ hates net neutrality for some reason that escapes me

pol doesn't hate net neutrality, its the few people on it who do

because a bunch of retards got everyone to think it means a fairness doctrine for the internet

pol is not one person

kek

NET NEUTRALITY IS LITERALLY COMMUNISM!

Kek

and because 90% of /pol/ is tech illiterate now

True.

they haven't ever built a computer

but rail against normies and pretend that they are a nerdy outcast

I havent, but I probably could if I tried

Keeeek

Yeh, it's not particularly difficult

building a pc is literally legos and seeing if those legos fit together before you buy them

being a self-imposed shutin who shitposts on a mongolian pottery forum all day is a choice they are making

pretty much it

I've built a few, it's actually way easier than everyone thinks.

it's not like being a nerdy outcast was 10 years ago

fucking /r9k/ needs to be purged

I had my hand held, last time i was the only one building a motherboard blew all its transistors

R9K is a containment.

Please don't tell me you think /r9k/ was ever populated by anyone but the NEETs-by-choice

pig-disgusting reverse snobbery has lead to people self-imposing autisms on themselves for acceptance

r9k is absolute cancer filled with cringey passive aggressive faggots

If they weren't there they'd be somewhere else.

r9k was an example of "if you have a population of people who pretend to be retarded for laughs, soon they will be flooded by retards who think they are in good company"

the /r9k/ meme was literally made up

/pol/, much like /r9k/ is an autism containment board

and now it only exists because people bought into it and accept it

No, there's always been people like that.

yeah, but not in the numbers and quantity

R9K has worsened it, but it was always a thing.

It's also a prophetic astrolabe

old /b/ was full of misfits and outcasts
