A very bizarre set of reaction tweets, was Terry big among the alt-right/4chan crowds?
It was very sad to witness his condition deteriorating over the past months.
- saagarjha 8y agoTerry, despite his achievements, was erratic and schizophrenic, which led to him posting a lot of racist rants. Qualities which I assume made him attractive to 4chan.
- uboa14 8y agoTerry's worldview is a largely coherent one which praises the old ways and the rule of Godly kings, in which White men are truly free; today, they obviously are not. He has the same visceral disgust toward race-mixing that most White people feel, and is not afraid to voice his opinions on it. Terry is a more authentic human being than 99.99% of the puppets that inhabit this Earth. Thank the Gods that the monk is (probably) still with us and will be with us, providing us with wisdom from the mountain tops, for years to come.
- saagarjha 8y agoHumor me for a moment. What exactly is “the monk”?
- allannienhuis 8y agoMost white people? Maybe you need to hang around with a different crowd.
- dang 8y agoPlease don't feed trolls.

- implying 8y agoHe was a cultural icon of 4chan's technology board, who would watch his livestreams by the thousands.
- moetech 8y ago>A very bizarre set of reaction tweets, was Terry big among the alt-right/4chan crowds? What makes you say that? And what does the alt-right have to do with 4chan?
- atomicthumbs 8y ago>And what does the alt-right have to do with 4chan? Oof
- prudentbot 8y agoYeah, not sure I really felt old until this moment.
- mirimir 8y agoI can't really tell, but it's my considered opinion that the intersection of 4chan and the alt-right is so recursively lulzing that nobody involved really knows who's serious. Or even what "serious" might actually mean. But maybe I'm just old, and set in my ways.
- cazum 8y agoFor a while in the early-mid 2010s, /v/ and /pol/ were rallying points for what we would today call the alt-right. To this day, the pervasive politics of most of 4chan are hard right, leaning into ethnostatism. You'd be hard pressed to find an alt right rally without heavy 4chan cultural aesthetic (pepe, kekistan, etc)
