I took this at face value because there are so many people here with this exact attitude, some in this very thread, and now I don't know if I should feel dumb or not

My body reacted to this as it would to a stalking predator

We're getting the murders on film and finding their names and they aren't getting punished and they aren't stopping the violence

One of them filmed a murder himself

I am gobsmacked by this man

The cave diver thing was where I was like oh, his ego is going to quickly become a more visible problem because he's realized he can just say and do whatever he wants with the massive power he has

Yeah I'm not a grandma, I was very online at the time, but I didn't know or care about him much beyond tech billionaire who happened to be focused on things that I felt were worth developing. I put him in the same basket I put the rest of them where I assume they're horrible because billionaires.

AI is in my fucking college textbooks, man, I'm going insane. They force it into the search function of Pearson e-textbooks

I have a friend whose sister is an anti-vaxxer pediatrician. It's bizarre.

I don't get it. Could you please put this in 40k terms

I'm open to being corrected but I feel like I never see him using rhetoric this firm and unambiguous in the interests of America or especially his own base

I keep coming back to this post. I think this is a hall of famer

America will probably never bounce back from this but a lot of issues we've put on the back-burner since before I was born have come to a head and will have to be resolved, for better or worse

Obama and Biden admins tried status quo but couldn't stop this because we can never go back now

It's a very small consolation to me, but while accelerationism is suicidal, we've certainly accelerated. ICE's abuses, the avarice and open eugenic bigotry, naked land grabs and disregard for basic human rights and democracy, it's all out in the open now. Can't sweep it under the rug again

It wasn't modern social media. If the anime board was taken over by nazis, the only other place to talk about anime was off of the site
January 31, 2026 at 10:52 PM
If he championed anything it was probably Internet anonymity, but even he saw how the Nazis flooding the site made the normal functioning of the video game and paranormal and anime boards really annoying to keep on track because they'd derail everything with vile shit

If he wanted to use /pol/ like a guided missile for right wing extremism, he was perfectly positioned to do so. Instead he left and joined Google for five years to work on Google+ of all things

Right, but above everything else, moot seemed to be a nerd. He just wanted a place to talk about video games and anime and post hentai or whatever. When 4chan became ground zero for today's alt right with GamerGate, Poole expressed annoyance, tried to tamp down on it at first, then sold the site

Our failure to properly prosecute the orchestrators and officers of the Confederacy being repeated with lack of consequences for criminals and fascists in Trump's first term while Trump wasn't president for four years comes to mind

There's an absurd amount of completely internal, fundamental issues with the country that have not been addressed. We can address Putin's influence while also addressing how the US has been predisposed to this since even before Tsarist Russia fell
