Why do so many losers on the Internet gravitate to the right wing?

[Targeted Individual]

The NEET has his mind clear and can see everything everywhere, from his mom's basement he can see the truth about the world and hear the hyperborean calling to kill kikes.

You can tell a post has hit home and pissed people off by the ratings.

Nigga go to reddit/twitch/pisscord and tell me again that those left wing kids are real fuckin winners in life.

 

[cybertoaster]

10-15 years ago sure but lately I see far more losers in the left and far-left than in the right for the simple fact that the left its far more tolerant of losers than the right that still believes that if you're a loser its most likely your fault. Also the modern left its far more tolerant of losers, old leftists still believed that everybody had to work, even commies did, but today's left its like work=slavery but unironically so you get a lot of lazy losers who don't want to contribute to anything and you can't kick them out because that would be intolerant.

 

[Apustajan apustaja]

Dividing people into winners and losers is in itself a right wing thing, it implies agency and independence. The left would ask why so many victims of the cishetero patriarchy gravitate to the left, who mainly cater to the middle class.

 

[Chad Holdenford]

Everyone I don't like is a loser and a member of the team to the other side of the political spectrum I currently stand in.

 

[Catler]

The right is now the counterculture.

This is a cope, most data shows Gen Z and Millennials as the most progressive generations and as much as people want to believe Gen Z is more right wing, the actual data doesn't support that (despite much hand wringing from journalists).

Additionally, it's questionable to call something "counter culture" when it's the same thing your parents and grandparents believe.

Perhaps they're just majorly autistic and simply want everything to conform to a very strict set of rules because otherwise they have difficulty navigating the world around them and want to

You're closest to the mark here, imo.

If you're some variety of nerd/autist/social outcast there's a good chance you're the kind of analytically minded person who views things in terms of hard data and logic. Viewing society through the lens of a computer/The Internet is only going to exacerbate that, and creates people who try to fix society the same way one plays SimCity or codes a program, with no consideration paid to how to convince the average person to adopt their views.

In many ways, this perspective lends itself to truths that mainstream society tends to shy away from. The other side of that coin is a lack of socialization that cripples actually being persuasive or even realistic. Hence why their online political discourse has a tendency to spiral into batshit authoritarian fantasy about creating ethnostates and whatnot.

By contrast, terminally online leftists tend to be more focused on socializing and sex, their politics are just a fashion statement and ammo for drama. The right wingers group together because they have no other choice.

The SanFran/Silicon Valley tech crowd and their allies just spent approx. six years making sure there is no organically popular right-wing content to be found on any big platform unless you're willing to look in the asscrack of the internet while also astroturfing half a dozen faux radical "vote blue no whatter who" podcasters/content creators/personalities but sure all those loser gravitate to right wing radicalism instead of just listening to Hasan or fucking Chapo Trap House.

Are you fucking retarded?

 

[WitchfyndeGeneral]

The main reason why is because society is a pendulum and will swing with one dominant ideology and one outcast ideology that is the opposite of the dominant ideology . I am old enough to remember the 90s-2000s. Back then, the main establishment was the religious right and Moral Guardians and they were right wing and had a large influence in the cultural sphere. I remember the losers of the 90s-2000s were all progressive/left leaning. Even in early years of Youtube, religious fundies were posting content and were a little bit more visible compared to now. Alot of internet atheists usually tended to be neets living in their mom’s basement who spend time harassing religious people on internet forums.
I’m sure when Christian Nationalism comes, the losers on the internet will go back to being left wing like they always do, in the 2000s and early 2010s.

 

[LaxerBRO]

The type of people to rant about the jews,

Don't care about Jews

gays,

I am a faggot.

alcohol,

I like whiskey but think pregaming or drinking to excess is a problem only serving to mask serious issues in ones own life.

media,

I don't like being told what I should think..

or anything modern online aren't the type enjoying their lives or having much fun

I enjoy nature but believe that most of society is easily placated by bread and circuses.

I will not become a member of the irrational mob or be emotionally manipulated into two minutes of hate against the enemies of the elite.

That content isn't hard to find, so I guess they haven't done a very good job. It's trivial to find right wing content on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and others, often with large communities behind it.

The only site that's been truly effective at removing right wing content that I'm aware of is Reddit, but that's a weird situation due to how moderation and such works over there.

I'll admit that stuff doesn't end up promoted or on the front page of those sites, but I wouldn't promote people that think the peak of comedy is the gamer word either.

 

[The Last Stand]

I'd say to illicit a response in the cheapest way possible.

 

[Historical Strelkov]

Can you define what a "loser" is in this instance?
And what these "losers" would be jealous of?

jews, gays, alcohol, media, or anything modern

Can you define what fun these people are having?
What "failings" are being blamed on external sources?
And vice versa, can you explain who is not a "loser" these days?
If you cannot answer these questions, then you're just baiting a response.

 

[Lithuophile]

Unlike rightwingers online, e-communists are far easier to ignore and thus less annoying to me as a result.

Then that's a bias issue and a matter of which communities you expose yourself to

 

[Catler]

Can you define what a "loser" is in this instance?

A loser? I mean I know you want a response you can pick apart, but the general stereotypical, terminally-online person who has questionable real life success.

You know the exact sort of person I'm talking about, they aren't the finest specimens.

And what these "losers" would be jealous of?

Better adjusted, more social, better educated, more successful people, or often just people who get to have fun experiences they don't.

Gen Z/Y right wingers online always have this sense of bitterness about them when it comes to their peers and it's not subtle.

No I don't know who you are talking about, because I don't always apply politics to my concept of being a loser. It sounds like you're intentionally keeping it ambiguous because if you defined what you meant, it could apply to those you aren't bracketing within your initial question.
Someone who is terminally online, stereotypical, and has questionable real life success? That could apply to a lot of different "political leanings".
What inherently is right wing/centrist/left wing about being a loser?

Gen Z/Y right wingers online always have this sense of bitterness about them when it comes to their peers and it's not subtle.

And what are they complaining about exactly?

Better adjusted, more social, better educated, more successful people, or often just people who get to have fun experiences they don't.

Whats an example of this that lends towards any kind of political axis?
What's better adjusted mean?
What's more social mean?
What's better educated mean?
What's more successful mean?
What's fun experiences mean?
You assume that there's a general agreement on what these things mean in the current day, and if you can't define them then i guess you don't really know what you're talking about.

 

[AgendaPoster]

a whole lot of losers online gravitate toward right wing politics, often to a way more extreme degree than even right wingers IRL.

Good for them.
Even losers should have political representation.
If shitlibs refuse to offer them anything, they'll indeed move further right.
Next time when you have a political movement, remember to serve the people who voted you in, not the elites.

 

[Professor G. Raff]

I'm not a leftie, just calling out what I've continually witnessed online for years now. Unlike rightwingers online, e-communists are far easier to ignore and thus less annoying to me as a result.

You see, you can't just say this and then expect people not to call you out on baiting. Literally ever corner of every interest is infested with left wing people who force it to include cliche left-wing talking points no matter how far removed it is from the subject. When you go to the Pokemon subreddit, the biggest franchise in the world on one of the biggest social media sites in the world, and see a fucking cringe pride flag when you hover over the banner you can't ignore the level of co-opting of everything that is done. This is everywhere, to then say "it's easy to ignore lefites" when it is omnipresent and even moderate righties are banned from everything you prove either the bait allegation, or the brain-dead retard allegation. I guess if we went the retard route you could possibly only use KiwiFarms where that is true and have so little experience elsewhere on the web where you don't understand that, but the reasons given are why it's so concentrated here.

But I digress, furry avatar is even less trustworthy than anime avatar so it's all pointless to logically point out when it's bait.

This is true, I know some fat neckbeards who will talk your ear off about how vaccinated trans women are the only true women.
