If you combine this with the theory that Ghislaine was the /r/worldnews moderator /u/MaxwellHill, this would mean both of them were impactful in the right wing nerd internet culture that has become so mainstream.
Not sure how to feel right now.
On one hand, there’s a bit of relief that 4chan and the internet fascists aren’t an organic grassroots movement…
…But also it’s another reminder we have been ruled by absolute monsters for ages.
I think overall we should regard it as a good thing because it gives us more hope for the potential of a better society if we can establish a real democracy and suppress capital.
That’s the beauty of conspiracy thinking, it makes the problem smaller.
I mean, we objectively live in a society where a small minority of the population has power over the rest, and we can argue about the complicity of the rest of the population, but I think the fact that capital needs to make such efforts to maintain itself gives more cause to hope than if it could get by without such expenditures.
The last part has been true for millenia
It’s making me lose my mind a bit, feels like losing sanity points in Call of Cthulhu IRL.
My brain is refusing to engage with that notion. I can’t do it
Who did the Elon Musk voice in the third Cthulhu episode on Chapo?
Epstein bought Steve Bannon a Hermes Apple Watch, and Bannon was instrumental in activating GamerGate as a fascist pipeline
And now Musk owns Twitter too! Conspiracy theorists wouldn’t be so daring.
the moot-/pol/-epstein conspiracy finna make me disassociate
Yep I’m just gonna fade out right now this might actually be too much lmao holy fuck
Edit: okay so I’m fully on board with Epstein being a Mossad asset at the very minimum a patsy. So that’s square 1 I’m starting from.
4chan has had a role in like 90% of mass shootings and almost every single white terrorism shooting since it came about?
Fucking goddamnit does this fucking mean DOES THIS FUCKING MEAN capitalism created a weird bi-caste of child predators and incel predator-aspirants to be part of its defense system? Is this the white blood cell of capitalism? Is the screw that holds it all together threaded with pedos? What the fuck
ive come to this conclusion myself long ago
For so long I’ve been like
about the whole 4chan/gladio thingMy brain is fried rn
“its just rich pedophiles” “always was”
the wapo article in question…
raising 625k for a stealth startup
sounds like he could use a financier
i genuinely have a dissociative disorder and this shit is making me think im right what the hell
so if Boris Nikolic is some guy who was an advisor for Bill Gates does that mean Bill Gates is more involved in orchestrating this shit
I always thought 4chan was some kind of alphabet agency owned asset to turn vulnerable young men into frothing fascists.
This proves it.
That and after the anti-woke/anti-sjw/anti-idpol slop as well thats even so prevalent on the left. They even stopped hiding mostly. Peter Thiel is a Red Scare megafan
the whole anti paedo shit was always projection
I honestly was not expecting moot to be on the Epstein files.
He originally got banned from the SA forums (then went on to start 4chan) for being a pedo
Something Awful banned all hentai, which is what Moot got in trouble for. Drawn CSAM was something he allowed after he built 4chan, which SA was trying to prevent in the first place.
But how did they know each other?
it doesn’t surprise me. I mean what could be a bigger honeypot than 4klan?
kiwifarms
Im going insane lmao
At this point, what evil thing is NOT related to Epstein?
Is Andrew Wakefield on the list too?
Lol I was literally going to suggest anti vax, and maybe some pro vax people could be there due to his connections to academia. Andrew Wakefield is a good call though.
But as far as I know, Epstein has nothing to do with factory farming + industrial meat production.
He surely didn’t come up with those ideas but there’s gotta be a lot of agri-olicarchs in that list.
Also those european “farmers” movements are one connection away from Jeffrey at best
At this point, I’d believe it if you told me climate change and microplastics are the fault of Epstein’s pedo sex trafficking ring.
Climate change denial masterminds are deffintely on that list
man it seems like literally everyone we hate is on the list
The linchpin of capitalism is a cabal of pedophiles.
I have never been closer to
in my entire life
It’s also worth noting Epstein hotlinked the /gif/ board and shared FNAF SFM pornography.
What is SFM pornography?
source filmmaker I assume
sfm is source filmmaker, 3D animation software from valve. naturally it was immediately used to make porn
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
And /u/ also? It’s joever
I knew FNAF was a psyop.
Singlehandedly ruined the media literacy of an entire generation.
What? How? Because matpat?
no but really, what?
Glad i hit 420chan by like 2007 and missed all that pol stuff anyway before not using chans at all
in my mind, the chronology was that 4chan had a board called /news/ which was shutdown because it was a community for racists. Then Poole publicly and in-person confronted the owner of Encyclopedia Dramatica, accusing her of censorship for deleting racism. He realized it looked hypocritical that he also shut down a board, so he says it wasn’t the racism itself he opposed, but that the racism was off-topic to a news board, so he created a politics board where racism wouldn’t be off-topic.
Please point out if any part of this is wrong.
Pretty sure this is accurate. TBH I wouldn’t be surprised if this had more to do with Nikolic, the other person in these emails. Used to be a tech advisor for Bill Gates and seems to have already known Moot. They meet up and he launches /pol/ a few days later.
Yeah IIRC this tracks. I know /pol/ was created for containment, but it obviously didn’t work because more racists flocked to the site.
It gave them critical mass to reinforce each other.
Yep /pol/ was a containment board for the Nazis, to keep them out of the other boards. When /news/ was deleted the Nazis were shitting everywhere and it made things untenable
Male cool guy (KID), aged only 23. Female underage woman, already 13.
“Hire this kid”, says [redacted] about hacktivist-turned-snitch Hector “Sabu” Monsegur. Guys can still be kids even past 30.
Guys can still be kids even past 30.
i’ll be 75 years old calling 30 year old college professors “kid”
Yeah, thinking about it more, it’s not really that weird to call adults of any age “kid”, and it’s somewhat common when talking about people substantially younger than oneself. it is maybe more common when referring to men though? 🤔
it might be old man-coded. “you did good, kid” is a line in a bunch of media and sometimes it’s addressing a woman.
Yeah Biden would call 59-year-old Kamala a kid
Not surprising. Any platform with a significant number of users ultimately becomes a potential vector to steer public discourse at large scale. And I do think it’s clear that Epstein was more than just a broker for a child abuse island; he was a middleman through which rich and influential people could connect and coordinate.
And it really shouldn’t be underestimated just how influential 4chan was. In the latter half of the 2000s, it slowly but surely became the dominant force in creating internet meme culture, taking that crown from Something Awful, and largely influencing how people talked in those days. There was a reason the “f slur” was so common, and that was long before /pol/ even came into existence.
By 2010/2011, Ragefaces were the main “generic” meme format that people used on sites like 9gag, and they originated from 4chan. These would then be switched out for the Wojak/Pepe format that would become mainstream around 2013/2014, Pepe itself being largely perpetuated by /pol/. The frog has largely fallen out of favor for being associated with nazis, but the Wojak format persists, even within leftist communities, over 12 years later. A ton of internet expressions and mannerism originate from 4chan, so it’s not surprising that it would become a target for rich people to influence public discourse.
This is the forest that people missed for the trees when Musk took over Twitter. For all the chants of how Musk was wasting a lot of money, how investors would leave, how the site might become unstable because of important people being fired, and how it would all turn into a disaster and collapse – people seemed to barely consider the potential long-term gain for Musk in terms of narrative control by taking over such a huge social media site. Unsurprisingly, Musk then decided to get directly involved with the Trump administration, taking direct advantage of the media platform he now controlled. And the site persists, now considered a lawless trash dump with selective and sparse moderation, where far-right ideology can thrive, very much like 4chan.
And in the coming weeks and months, we will see such a takeover unfold with TikTok as well. There can be no major platform of public discourse online that rich and influential people will not attempt to take control of. It simply cannot be allowed to exist.
There was a reason the “f slur” was so common
Idk that is pre internet imho
Think of the influence more like keeping the slur relevant in the new generation and stopping them from thinking their parents usage of it was cringe.
It had fallen out of favor a bit, 4chan is what brought it back to the mainstream
One of the most pathetic things is these are 60 and 70 year old men (including Bannon in this) who are treating tech wonderkin as their fountain of youth. This is exactly what Musk does too. The proletariat version of this is dirtbag hot couch guys who are in their 30s and hang out at high school parties. Except the poors are much better at policing that shit.
I am completely unable to describe the kind of ick I’m feeling right now.
Holy shit.
So it’s all but known now that QAnon was an op then.
that shit was obvious
