Forumposting can honestly be worse than 4chan. Normies get rewarded excessively, moderators have pathetically obvious great relish in their power, and trying to joke around in a way that’s not PC will get you banned. Hell, even somewhat “out of the bounds” discussions and topics — not even politically incorrect, just somewhat weird stuff the mods decided they don’t like — can lead to a shut down thread. Forums often devolve into a form of soft totalitarianism or a tyranny of the majority. Without overtly realizing it, a very narrow worldview is being promoted, and heterodox views gently filtered out. 4chan is kind of shitty but every once in a while you find posts by people who A.) are actually kinda smart or have some interesting points of view or some really interesting life experience and B.) also are willing to be completely honest and outside the bounds of academia or social custom due to anonymity.

It’s the rawness that makes this place fundamentally appealing even though it’s also extremely shitty for similar reasons. For instance, right now I can call the OP a pretentious fucking frogposting retard douchebag and tell him I’m glad if he leaves this site, and post this shitty meme pic. Such a tone and picture would probably get me banned on an average forum for “flaming” and “a ride tone” and “using crude meme pictures and lowering standards of discussion”. But you know what? It gets the point across, and such an environment wards off effeminate stuck-up pseuds.

I usually hate this meme because it derides people with a level-headed moderate stance but it’s actually the perfect time to use it.

No. If you're not sure whether to get chemo therapy the answer is not to get a little. A lot of problems require full commitment once you acknowledge them.

It's like these cunts who pay lip service to climate change and green politics but think getting a Prius and separating their plastic garbage is enough of a contribution to fixing the problem and scoff at the deniers but also scoff at people actually committed to solving the problem.

Moderate is generally just a euphemism for lacking conviction and being a passive cunt. Moderates should be lined up and shot desu.
