We did it boys

Sage goes in all fields.

This book is poorly-sourced, too short, incorrect on many fronts, and overlooks vast portions of the websites and subcultures it discusses. The author shows a great deal of disdain for the people she's writing about. Her ultimate conclusion is essentially that we need to return to milquetoast liberalism.

Delet this.

it triggers you, then.

I actually have, over time, been compiling a book about Veeky Forums and its culture. It goes through the early progenitors of the board, the evolution of Veeky Forums culture, and more.

Basically it keeps arriving back at the same place though the more I try and edit/cut. Veeky Forums, at least in its main userbase, is the story about disenfranchised young mend who laugh at the world to hide things from themselves, who build contests based on their own misery, to try and feel camaraderie with strangers, who look for a way to be alone together, and honestly there is something beautiful about it.

yeah. the whole thing is "woke" centrism: the book. i.e. it confirms nobody's biases ergo everybody hates it

Veeky Forums is very Romantic in a way.

Lol. It's leftism in the tradition of Christopher Lasch. Nothing woke or centerist about it.

oh yeah. in her interviews she obviously espouses labor-leftism/lite-socialism. she's super timid about left-wing introspection in person compared to the text, which is kind of an interesting reification of her theory within her own subconscious and interaction within the leftist community

No book could be written about Veeky Forums from an outsider and actually be good to someone from here, it's just not possible; there's something about the Veeky Forums experience that can't be gleaned from simple research and has to be taken from hours spent fishing for (you)s

>You can only be leftist if you are anarchist or communist

Caught any fresh ones recently ?

it's not all that complicated. don't deify an anonymous image board, you nerd.

Agreed.

I do think that someday there will be a quality written account of Veeky Forums, done by someone who is actually a 'native' of the site. And it would be better than the stupid and untrue platitudes found in First of all, you cannot start with the /b/-/r9k/-/pol/ continuum, which gets overexposed since it's the part most famous among normies. You start with the interest boards--/a/, /v/, /co/, etc.--which are really the heart of Veeky Forums's culture.

Agree partially, but the triumvirate of /v/, /r9k/, and /pol/ (/b/ is an entirely irrelevant board nowadays) IS an important part of the culture, just not the entirety of it. I think outsiders and researchers focus on /pol/ and /b/ because they grab headlines and generally do outlandish shit

The culture of shared misery is one of the core parts of Veeky Forums.

I wouldn't group /v/ with the others because it's culture is far more similar to other interest boards like /a/ and /tv/

Honestly, I consider /pol/ an outlier

That response only proves the point

The three most culturally influential boards are [s4s], /c/, and Veeky Forums

the problem with kill all normies is that it is purely descriptive. she's not promulgating any solutions and she's particularly not interrogating any of the issues and supposition at the crux of the internet edgysphere.
either she's too dumb to come up with prescriptive answers or the answers she has would see her excommunicated from polite, cosmopolitan society if she publicized them.
nice meme, mind if I save it?

That's her plan. Of course she cannot make her first book controversial. Her upcoming book(s) will, I am fairly certain.

what other zero books are worth reading

Zero of them.

malign velocities (yes), towards speculative realism (yes), uncertain futures, capitalist realism (sort of), in the dust of this planet, post cinematic affect (definitely), post-continental voices (sort of), bells and whistles (yes), the last night

Surface level bullshit, great for people who never come here. Also cultural marxists are aknowledged that they exist and are fucking up the real left.

/mlp/ is more relevant that /co/ since it actually made a unique culture. What has /co/ done to troll other comic book forums? Probably noting of note. People on MAL/crunchyroll are literally afraid to go on /a/ because of it's reputation. /co/ is literally a backwater ghetto noone gives a shit about. The nip mediums rule in popularity on this site, so this is understandable.

Anime is disgusting and you should feel ashamed for having that image saved

I liked Kantbot's response

You too reddit, you too

>"ironically" using a Pepe avatar while pseudonymously writing for a neo-reactionary online magazine

He just wants to complete German Idealism mate.

He barely references can culture except in the abstract, doesn't delve into the individual board cultures and ends by saying that Nagle should have interacted more with channers

:thinking emoji:

Fuck off
