I look at the rise of "populism" as a result of resource competition. As the "low skilled" manufacturing jobs moved first to Texas, then out of the borders, people either had to improve their "skills" (good luck with that, and those jobs tend to be in larger cities, requiring moving yourself/family as well) So suddenly you have a high demand for housing pricing... well pretty much everyone into less desirable areas. Those that remained in the smaller cities, now see their kids leaving, and any new residents being "outsiders". This leads to people trying desperately clinging to what they have. TL:DR we are living in Marshall Brain's Manna, everything sucks and can only get worse.

I also think we will need UBI. Automation will destroy many peoples' livelihoods, but the gains will flow disproportionately to the very rich. 3 billionaires in America already have as much wealth as 50% of Americans, and it's only getting worse. I cannot believe that a society which could land a man on the moon cannot address poverty, give every kid an cheap computer with an internet connection, or switch to renewable resources.

It's to those apathetic overlords and the corrupt system they built that ire and resistance should be directed, rather than poorer and more helpless "outsiders." Resource scarcity comes from people who refuse to share.

That's why I don't think "right-wing populism" (walls and apartheid) is the answer. "Left-wing populism" (reforming or abolishing capitalism) is closer to the best path.

I've decided to highlight this thread in light of recent events. After 3 mass shootings with manifestos posted at 8chan in the last year, unfortunately, one case has finally happened at tiny Endchan. All the shooters were by right-wing extremists motivated by racism, ultranationalism, and stupid intolerance.

There is an ongoing problem on the image boards with right-wing terrorism triggered by racism, alternate facts, and echo chambers. (It all worsened when 8chan created echo chambers that banned anyone who was left of Adolf Hitler.)

I don't know how to reverse the radicalization process. I contacted the admin of this site once, but he refused to let me have /news/ (I think it's because he's an alt-righter). So instead, the white supremacist who polices /pol/ also got it, and as you can currently see, he deletes tons of threads that don't fit his racist Nazi agenda.

Although I've argued against their stupid lies for years, the Nazis themselves are so far gone they don't seem to listen anyone, or any facts. Clearly they need to develop compassion, but you can't really do that at an image board where anonymity runs supreme. All I know is I don't want them to continue to gain ground, or for them to continue to weaponize anime until no one can look at anime avatars or hentai forums without associating them with Nazi shooters.

There are some people who still find this board useful, so it would be unfair to unilaterally delete it. But I also don't enjoy helping Nazis to masturbate for free. I don't want to encourage young people to frequent boards where they're more likely to self-radicalize until they murder innocent people. Therefore, I'm probably going to let this board continue to decay after this.

I might even sticky this, because I now think young people should avoid the image boards. Laugh at this trigger warning all you want, but telling impressionable people to avoid going to /pol/ might save lives. The political boards here will make you hate everyone, and cause you to lose sources of happiness. Hardly anything said by most of the posters there will be true, and you'll be exposed mostly to untrue lies and statistics from Nazi propaganda sites. Every Nazi "shitposter" I've met at Endchan was grossly uninformed and much stupider than me. And I'm afraid they'll edge one of you on into sacrificing your one life just so they can have a few chuckles at your expense.

It's just not worth visiting the other boards at Endchan or at most image boards. It's just too risky, as a certain percentage of people will certainly become radicalized by the huge Nazi presence. There's nothing even fun about seeing the boring arguments resuscitated from the 1940s. There's nothing good to see, so don't waste your time.


But then again, if that doesn't convince you I can debate some "white nationalists" here. I don't think it'll make much difference, but if having a pointless circular argument keeps a few Nazis from murdering someone for just a few more minutes, well, I'm sure a lot of victims would rather live for a few more minutes.

Since you janny trannies suspended me from 4chan once I completely laid bare your ineptitude in spouting your emotional, media-driven nonsense, here we go:

One of the 3 shooters had a white nationalist agenda. One of them was a crazy lefty who came out of a polyamorous relationship. This was openly written by his Ex-fake girlfriend. Bitch is totally unapologetic.
_adeliajohnson_/my-ex-boyfriend-was-the-dayton-shooter-2b7f2d792b68">https://medium.com_adeliajohnson_/my-ex-boyfriend-was-the-dayton-shooter-2b7f2d792b68

What all of these shooters had in common was that they were young men with no future in sight. They run our countries to the ground, gaslight us every day telling us we need more of clown world and being against that is "racist, sexist, homophobic".

And you have the audacity claiming online "white nationalists", the only ones providing these kids with an outlook in their lives, are responsible for the shootings?

Guess what? The establishment wants these atrocities to happen. None of our first Israeli president's puppet masters cares what happens to the cattle in a Walmart. But it sure is a great excuse to crack down on civil liberties. The same way you crack down on free speech on these forums, because the shooters post on here in addition to mainstream social media sites and because you can't think more than one corner ahead.

No, instead you make up constructs in your mind how the "Nazis" have no facts and how the pathetic lies about events, the scientism and the catch phrases the MSM has filled your head with are the final truth.

You probably have had experience with Judeo-Conservative cucks and other controlled opposition outgrowths that are incapable of a consistent world view. But in an open forum lefties and Judeo-Conservatives never win against what is the so-called "alt right".

But why does all of this even matter? What happened to chan culture and just sharing porn? You have a serious case of Trump derangement syndrome after all.

Do you really think that someone who came to EndChan thanks to your board is going to be radicalized into going out and shooting up a mosque for the white race? TSF fans are likely less violent than average and TSF itself probably has a deradicalizing effect on young males, at least as far populist right-wing ideology goes. That is not an ideology that through technological progress and social liberty will allow you to be the little girl. Aside from that, any serious loli TF enthusiast has read Moldbug and knows that right-wing terrorism doesn't advance right-wing causes. What immediately comes to their mind after a shooting like the NZ one is https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/2011/07/right-wing-terrorism-as-folk-activism/.

>That said, I hate fascism and the resurgence of "white nationalism."
White people can't survive without nations of their own due to recessive genetics, so you hate White people, move to Haiti and/or KYS.
