4chan: The Skeleton Key to the Rise of Trump
- sky_projektor 10y agoSince the first post was moderated, I would be naive to mention that Democracy as a government by, of, for the people, every kind of people have the right to vote or stand for elections. A certain type of a leadership might be detrimental to a certain class of people. And it is a world of make belief.. believe that, basement residing kids are not robbing the town by sitting at their machines. Believe that, elections & politics are reinforcements of a culture which worship power & considers that not observing these rituals would cause harm in the long run.
- jimnotgym 10y agoWow this article really covers some ground. I have become really interested in the idea that the politics of left and right is obsolete. Left and right have nothing to offer the chan generation except jobs flipping burgers.
- andybak 10y agoI haven't been able to shake the feeling for several months that the world has somehow been taken over by 4chan, reddit and similar dark corners of the internet. For anyone who has read Borges it's a bit like 'Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius' except with /b/ in the place of the fictional encyclopedias.
