It's almost surreal to open /pol/ nowadays.

First, after the Charlotte killing of a totally innocent young woman, and second what happened with Charlie Kirk.

To see the board post their ghoulish and ecstatic "she voted for this" jubilation over a woman texting one of her loved ones before getting her throat cut to full throated celebration of a political assassination of a white family man has pretty much killed any attachment I ever felt to the board.

What else did you expect jeets to do?

/a/ users are usually the most elitist old troons around, especially when they visit other boards. And then, you go to their board and it's just as much of a shitshow as any other while they still claim to be better because "their culture is superior" or "our board was made first, newfag!"
Similar attitude br*tish have, despite currently being the biggest shithole in the world right now.

Elitism on /a/ is really watered down these days. In the early 2010s and prior, making a Naruto thread would get you spam and users telling you to kill yourself.

Once Bleach and Naruto's manga wrapped up, they eased up on that. Hell, even by the time Bleach was ending, I was finding the community to be more relaxed. Most of the really bad trips (komeiji is the one I remember) fucked off by then, too.

Still a bit jarring to see Dragon Ball threads that are mostly blatant shitposting. Early 2010s /a/ wasn't having that.

During the recent hack, it was revealed 70% of /pol/ traffic comes from Israeli IPs...

Wtf changed on the internet? Why are you looking at 4chan, a site that had a culture of mocking and insulting every single tragic event, including school shootings, for sympathetic posts? Election tourism must have done quite a number on the site if this is anyone's reaction..

That was a shop. /pol/ is majority American.
 
The only board I browse is /mu/ which is a left wing shithole that does not understand the fundamental qualities of the medium they are discussing. It's insane that people who presumably talked about music for years are unable to even explain why they think music is good or bad without divulging into relativism. Not to mention that their entire idea of "art music" is mediocre rock music and sometimes jazz but only ever as a political statement to talk about le heckin niggerinos making such thoughtful music (I like Jazz, I just think that it's discussed retardedly) and a good chunk of the board has never heard a single work from before 1940. Sure you could say it about a lot of music forums, but at least places like Steve Hoffman Forums can give me a good recommendation for which CD version of something to buy. /mu/ is almost entirely useless, once you know even the basics of a genre, the board becomes useless for discussing it.

It's best to lack sympathy, or have 0 sympathy. Sympathy is an absolute burden. America should just cancel their H-1B plans and deport all H-[Number]B immigrants back to their shitholes.

Who the fuck uses 4chan? I haven't posted 4chan since the April hack exposed most of the jannies and mods to be a bunch of cocksuckers. This place and webring chans serve as suitable replacements

Last time I went there was to ask for help regarding 3D modelling.
Is there a place I can ask that stuff aside from 4chan and reddit?

I don't think the problem is that. Yes, 4chan never stopped poking fun at tragic events, it's just that all the wit and subtlety got replaced with pure a-logging and ragebait. While in the past you would see people at least trying to come up with some kind of joke like "goym 47, return to extraction point" or somebody making detailed pepe doodles or even making shitpost songs commemorating Kirk's memory, nobody bothers with any of that anymore. Banter is almost completely dead.

Checked /pol/ right now and the only thing that made me laugh was looking at Ukraine general thread and seeing Ukrainian soldiers talking how they captured a Senegalese mercenary and joking how they needed to constantly hold him because they were afraid that he was so dark that if he were to close his eyes he would become completely invincible in the dark. Now that's funny. And that's a joke that isn't built on desperately "owning" someone. But that's from a video taken from some Ukrainian channel or website, not a work from a poster themselves. And nobody in the thread is adding unto the joke by saying things like "oh so that's why black people use the ninja emoji on twitter. They got the Khajit sneak perk at night". They're just constantly bickering with each other or being in a circlejerk.

Browsing /pol/ these days is literally just like this
