According to the View just now.

Now why am I watching the View? Because it's on at the doctor's office's waiting room

With the YouTube algorithm constantly recommending far right content I'd really argue that YouTube is much worse.

It's youtube, reddit, or 4chan. The 4chan ecosystem is fucking awful though, make no mistake.

"Trolls" constantly spread propaganda and hide behind "lulz" like it's some magical get-out-of-jail-free card that absolves them of all responsibility (it's not and it doesn't). Most people already know this excuse is bullshit, especially the trolls in question. Maybe 4chan isn't literally #1 but the sentiment about online radicalization is accurate, and places like 4chan do indeed plant seeds that spread to other platforms and keep growing stronger.

Please don't continue going around spreading the idea that "the internet isn't srs business". It's obviously bullshit, and a good amount of the societal collapse that your witnessing right now is a result of a limp dick government that refuses to regulate deadly speech.

Have you not been there in the last 5-8 years? The whole website is 100% serious white supremecists now. You can't even talk about stuff like video games or tv shows without them just derailing every conversation into being about blacks or jews or trans people. 2007 4chan doesn't exist anymore.

4chan is bad, somehow far, far worse than it used to be, but I just don't see how it has the same reach as mainstream radicalization venues like YouTube, Facebook, and Fox News.

I think some people genuinely haven't moved beyond the Fox News "hackers on steroids lol so funny epic trollz" perception on 4chan even thought that blatantly hasn't been accurate for almost a decade.

it's about strategically disseminating. it being "low-key" compared to Facebook and YouTube works to its benefit, as it makes it easier to organize

I get almost none of that shit, but I have gone out of my way to report far right videos and when one does pop up, I tell youtube to stop recommending whether or not I end up reporting it.

Radicalized into what? Furries, lolicons, and fans of futanari?

The site is a cesspool of racists. (I only go there for the furry and futanari pics.) But I don't think anybody who started out not racist is radicalized into becoming one because somebody adds a racist caption to a pic. Racists congregate there because there are no rules against their behavior. It isn't a place for converting people to white nationalism.

everything you post is so consistently stupid and out of touch and you oughta stop participating in conversations that aren't about feminists ruining video games

actually, stay out of those too. I wouldn't be surprised if your cavebeard views on that matter started as an op on a chan site to sway crusty, easily manipulable gamers

And Dylan Roof claimed that he wasn't a racist until Black Lives Matter.

They're pointing the finger at someone else so that they don't have to take accountability for their actions. I'm not in any way denying the presence or dangers of racism. I'm saying these "the devil made me do it" excuses they make are bullshit.

4chan made me a jaded, cynical fuck who always feels the need to be ironic (all forms of entertainment are woke and soulless, everything sucks) lest I be identified as cringe/soy/corporate bootlicker but I don't see it as a place to get radicalized. Most of the site that isn't /pol/ hates /pol/.

A person who considers suicide because "my race was doomed" is already racist.

That said, if a person is already "Meh, I could live with out minorities" and all they do is browse racist hate (on 4chan or anywhere), I could see that easily swaying them into violent action.

Yeah, almost every other board despises /pol/. Anons just put up with it because its a containment board.

Yup. That's the insight. Not too much has changed since 2004 4chan. The reality is that they were always racist, and the "4 the lulz" has always been bullshit.

If anything has changed, it's just that society has made it more acceptable to explicate their views.
