The entire "/lit/ was always a left-wing board" thing was a fucking meme. /lit/, the board that's had threads on De Maistre and Evola for years? /lit/, the board that's made a god out of Ted Kaczynski, who's a fucking ecofascist? /lit/, the most religious board on all of 4chan, that loves to talk about Christianity? That board is supposed to be "left-wing"? /lit/ has never been left-wing.

i don't necessarily disagree with you but many "leftists" have a lot in common with right wing thinkers even those who were outright fascist (schmitt, heidegger) because both groups reject or at least critique the ideals of the liberal democracy and modernity.
Ecologists are the most wel known example of it.

This is partly true, but it wasn't at this low.
The most popular threads have always been about religion, race and why are girls dumb. That's a given. We could get as many twittercap threads as /tv/, so let's hope it doesn't get to that.

And while threads about literature have never been exactly popular, at least people tried to discuss or namedrop shit. When was the last time this board has seen a discussion on Dostoevsky? Now the "literary" threads always fall under some retarded low iq meme from other boards like "recommend books for climbing the stairs" or "I just finished X, what did I think", and the constant stream of adolescent tourists who don't care to lurk and just want to troll/be spoonfed.

It's sad because it's a slow board already.

I'm not a linguist, but I don't think any of these 'woke' media types would self-identity as "leftists". They present themselves as 'centrists' or 'liberals' who oppose racism, sexism, bigotry, etc. In reality, of course, these people are simply shills for capital. They put a friendly, 'inclusive' face on an economic regime in which wealthy capitalists are increasingly enriched at the expense of ordinary working people.

Again, thats why i specified left having a nuance of meanings to it. for example "Cultural left" as a vague general term. Regardless of underlying causal agents the self identification of left in some way makes one left in that context. Its a hegelian development of truth in that repects.

but besides simple perspectivism, if we were to assume a spectral viewpointfrom one pole to another (reductionistic i know, but illustrative nonetheless) The "liberal" (Though i would call them neolibrsl simply to differentiate from the general catagorization of "classical liberal" who more focuses on passive liberaty rather than active uplifting of supossedly downtroden groups) is more sympathetic with "economic leftism" than american rights as long as it does not topple capital.

To answer OPs question. The book 'mindf*ck' by Christopher wylie accurately documents what went on at Cambridge Analytica, a private psychological warfare company. They are in the news for Facebook, but they spread disinformation here as well. Worked for Steve Bannon and the trump empire, ruined 4chan forever radicalising /Pol/ enough to leave their containment board.

dude ecology has almost nothing to do with the ideologies that appropriate it, especially the right wing ones who basically just impose their autism on a vague concern for the environment and justify it with some mongrel hybrid of poorly understood natural selection and a natural hierarchy and that is completely absent in the world ecologists study. Literally all mythology. At most you have competition but the right wingers ironically can't even get population dynamics right. Leftists at least attempt to be ecological but they completely fail to arrive at a thoroughly ecological philosophy, just a hermeneutic approach to ecological buzzwords.

This is true but not if you are trying to justify the leftypol invasion narrative.
There are far more /pol/fags pasting off topic agitprop than sjwians, and post of the bad leftist posts I see are responding to pol and it's incessant bait threads. Let's be real, this isn't a "both sides" problem. It's very clear that we can get the leftiods to fall in line and be good little cucks if we can flame the /pol/tards out. Focusing on their shit personalities and not getting into politics with them.
If you want to have a place to discuss literature, /pol/ needs to go away and you should actively work to that end regardless of your position. I wouldn't mind having intellegent /lit/ right wingers, but it seems like they care more about having their hot takes validated by retards than telling those retards to fuck off, like they know they should.

I think it came in a few different waves. There used to be a bunch of /pol/tards but at this moment there's a lot more /leftypol/ faggots that don't want to assimilate. You're right, this isn't a both sides problem, because when leftoids take over a space, they refuse to assimilate to the group and try to change the focus completely. You're very obviously one of these faggots because the overwhelming amount of authors discussed here over the years have been "conservative", with a few modern or contemporary marxists here and there (which I actually find refreshing). Just fucking lurk before you start posting for fucks sake.

You are a coward that simply isn't capable of handling shitposters like a sir, you just shirk away from every wojak posting child that insults you, or worse, you give them a meaningless reply like "cringe" without even thinking about putting effort into creating a good witticism to shame that noob. I do not suggest spamming anyone, lit is a creative board, and the replies you write should be creative. That is the sole problem /lit/ has, not that there are bait threads and cross posters, the problem is /lit/ won't put any effort into shitposting or trolling any more. You fucking cucks just superficially chit chat about books and complain about shit posters and "raids", like you are any better.
It's all up with the Nazis. You want to know a secret? You aren't being raided by "chapo" or "leftypol", the trolls that didn't cross me saw me having so much fun powning Nazis while emulating Chapo and leftiod mannerisms that they decided to join. good, they'll get what they deserve when every last Nazi, chud, and bigot has been defeated.
