We should discuss the political implications of NPC meme.
Is it a meme? or an actual answer to our political enviroment? Why is it overly triggering the left? Knowing what we know about NPCs, what is the political implication?
some traits of NPCs discussed in threads.
Feel free to suggest edits/removals/additions. 4. has been most debated for now.
1. NPCs lack an inner voice 2. NPCs are not aware they are NPCs 3. NPCs are ultimately superficial 4. NPCs are hardwired to their script. They can make incremental improvements to their script but cannot fundamentally reprogram themselves. 5. NPCs react negatively when confronted with off-script ideas, situations, and environment. 6. NPCs fall in with the crowd by default. 7. NPCs believe their actions and reactions are organic and spontaneous. 8. NPCs are like drones executing their predetermined subroutines. 9. NPCs can be at odds with each other if their coding puts them in different factions. 10. NPCs tend to be tribal, both emotionally and intellectually.
I will gather all input in these threads and further distill it if needed.
CAUTION: NPCs and some (((PC)))s are trying to bury this meme by 1) advocating for violence 2) Gender baiting 3) Concern trolling NPCs' derailing terms: "forced meme" "dehumanizing" "solipsism" "CIA" "This meme will make Jow Forumstards psychopaths" and "solipsism" once more NPC meme is: 1) non-violent 2) not exclusive to one gender 3) optimistic & hopeful
Teaser for you all: It isn't just humans that can be divided into NPC and PC. All forms of life, all forms of matter, and all forms of ideas can be PCs. Consider what you might encounter if you run across a PC dog, a PC sword, or a PC metaphysical concept.
Just a quick question OP - What do you think of obviously foreign posters pushing this meme as a divide and conquer strategy to cause infighting and a means to demotivate large swathes of Jow Forums that would otherwise be keen to help create a meme frenzy?
Take this post for instance - a leaf posting with HILLARY LAUGHING SMUGLY Does this strike you as Jow Forums?
Hey if that is how people use it, so be it. It is making people think which is nice, People have been bad at doing that for a while. Literally what i wanted. The fact that i can make a civil thread about the subject and instantly get attacked all over Jow Forums says a lot about how little thinking people are doing.
It is just a funny maymay that triggers people, some are taking it to one extreme (post you provided) others are going to another extreme while i am sitting here enjoying the fucking show.
are NPCs just a weaponized form of the second-handers meme by Ayn Rand or Nietzsche's last men?
Adam Myers
Is asking and contemplating whether or not you're an npc a symptom of being an npc? Can npcs turn their inner monologue off and on? Does self reflection mean you're not an npc? I'm confused as fuck lads.
Will you fuck right off and stop stalking me, do not go on that discord. It is a trap to doxx people.

I have honed my j dar was showing fiance the rt special on post op trannies who regret it then saw an article reffering to the first doc to do the trans ops in the u.s. i said gee i wonder who is behind this went to wikipedia doc was a jew didnt even know how to do tranny surgeries but said yes for sheckles than looked at images in a med book and did it. Made colorado capital of tranny surgery trained an apprentice who went tranny and also made a practice doing it. Mfw i realize all trannies in u.s. started with a greedy jew doc in colorado. She trusts they are behind it all now
Chase Nelson
Seriously that bot is popping up in unrelated threads today is it a glowie honeypot bot?
Connor Cruz
I just find it telling how people pushing it are ok to have it pushed by people posting smug hillary photos simply because of perceived asshurt yielded. For any newfags out of the loop, posting smug and laughing hillary clinton memes is not exactly the mark of a Jow Forumsack. To each their own huh?
Thomas Evans
wasn't really directed specifically at you I'm not a bot
Mason Brooks
>discord >honeypot you dont say
Ryan Myers
yes Am i supposed to control what people do with it?
Michael Diaz
How can discord dox you if you didn't put any real information onto their service? Just because they sell user data to advertisers doesn't mean they dox their users. If you are worried about being doxed just dont use or talk about any irl info on their platform.
Dominic Hughes
Nah mate I am asking for an opinion on it seeing as its a meme that apparently can be used by leftists against Jow Forums
Oliver Torres
IP and chat logs to the SPLC no thanks
Jacob Sullivan
Have you heard of the (((high elves)))?
Jace Carter
So use a vpn and don't talk about personal stuff
Nathaniel Allen
How about I just dont use discord at all?
Andrew Evans
this
Isaiah Morales
Okay but that's not the point. You are advising people not to use the platform at all which doesn't really make sense because its one of the best and most popular voice and chat program. I do agree with you about using caution though. I am not pitching this to you personally either you just happen to be the OP.
Carson Phillips
Discord is kind of like a disco, where men dances together and don't think it's gay.
Zachary Gray
Shut up. No one here goes to your gay disco.
Jack Barnes
Pic related reminder not to let the allison mack/brothman (billionaire searams heiress who married into rothschilds and donated heavily to hillary and trudaeu campaign) sex cult with minors and a school in florida and another childrens school overseas get memory holed. Maybe we could add to it with npc meme. Like npc confronted with above info and doesnt flinch
I dont mean you are a bot i was replying to you that i have seen the bot you refer to a lot today its all over the boards
Luis Adams
You are replying to the wrong person.
Camden Campbell
Apologies phonepoastin.... i know i know phonefag etc
Brody Evans
Any meme can be "used against Jow Forums" Thing you are forgetting is the people you think are going to use it against Jow Forums can't meme for shit. Look what happened with pepe, NPC is just the 2018 pepe.
Jaxon Morris
I am in tears, he is so right
William Wilson
You and about 7 other flags have posted that link on Jow Forums just that i know of wtf is your goal?
Austin Gonzalez
That got swept under the rug pretty quickly
Parker Cruz
>because its one of the best and most popular voice and chat program did you ever stop to question how it got incredibly popular so quickly, not to mention while not charging any money
if something is too good to be true, it probably is
Colton Ramirez
The NPC meme is unrivalled its power to awaken people, and help those struggling to find and channel their inner voices.
It grants more agency than the most inspiring poetry of deepest motivational book.
Once you’ve realised that you’re not an NPC the world can never be the same again.
It got popular so quickly for the same reason that ANY platform on the internet gets popular quickly. Its the best platform for chatting and voice chat. It basically replaced thinks like Skype which microsoft turned into a bloated piece of shit. I'm not saying they don't listen to our conversations and sell our information to advertisers because they probably do which is why we should use caution. Selling user data is not something that only discord does im sure Jow Forums sells our information to advertisers too.
Yeah, people on Jow Forums really shouldn't make fun of other people being all the same.
Zachary Barnes
I don't have a computer to edit, but: npc box1: my body my choice! pc box2: Great. Please sign this petition to support the banning of male circumcision and also the female genital mutilation practised by muslims.

aka, normie shit. fuck that

If we don't utilize the best technologies we will not be able to complete. Should we play it safe and write letters to one another? Oh wait never mind the post office might intercept our communications.
>“A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.”
This is a MUST read, if you want to understand the true meaning of NPC. It's been around for ages. Basically there's not enough souls for all the people on Earth, because shitskins breed like rodents.
So what you're saying here is that the NPC meme is no different from >muh white male meme, and both are psyops aimed at making people less willing to try their ideas in the crucible of discourse because these rhetorical double binds free the ensnared or the responsibility for articulating themselves, while st the same time affording then a sense of empowerment over an adversary ignored rather than reasoned with?
It's almost like the NPC thing is just "sheep" rebranded for zoomers and for some reason Jow Forums is swallowing this phosphorescent shit because it's funny.
sort of. it means other things. like "national press club"
Elijah Jones
Save this link for the next time someone says npcs arent a thing also watch it its one minute if someone edits npc faces on you win midterms and internets
the xkcd guy is an arch-shitlib but he was ahead of his time

This is my post. I was shadowbanned on this subreddit after it went up. Notice how the two responses to my original point were stereotypical NPC responses. I've always believed that human beings all had an inner monologue. I've never truly believe that a human being was capable of being programmed or conditioned mentally, I've always believed the human brain is addicted to the truth and is not capable of functioning without it. Now that I'm learning there arepeople who have no inner monologue it's actually pretty concerning because these people are not human beings. They're robots. Their high functioning zombies that I've been weaponized against truth. They exist solely to obstruct a truth-seeker on their path to the knowledge and Truth that you and I are addicted to. NPC is quite literally the perfect way to describe them in all of its terrifying honesty.
The truly fucked up part is I don't believe those who are programming these drones are NPCs themselves. Critical thinking and inductive reasoning would be necessary to pull off this kind of hive mind manipulation. They know they're lying. They know the damage they're causing. The know the impact of their actions and yet they do it anyway.
Chase Turner
very nice.
good idea user, howd i do? (I really like using the comic sans)
You do see that in order for her comments to be ironic you have to tacitly admit that the NPC meme suffers from the same issues we perceive in Marxist rhetoric, right? This is a psyop designed to make you less interested in discourse. Holy shit how is Jow Forums not understanding this
Carson Harris
Human beings with an inner monologue would not be capable of being manipulated that way. Has anyone come up with valid or at least provocative reasons why some human beings have an inner monologue and others don't?
Camden Ward
>you have to tacitly admit that the NPC meme suffers from the same issues we perceive in Marxist rhetoric, right? Wrong construction. It is similar to features of Marxist rhetoric in efficacy. The problem with Marxism is ideological, not tactical, they've always collectively known what they're doing.
The twitter left has been dismissing trump voters as stupid religious (leftist code word for stupid) herd following simpletons since the beginning, despite the fact that hardly any of them has ever heard or read the actual opinions of those they disparage. Now they are getting a taste of their own it drives them frothing-at-the-mouth crazy. How tragic.
Liam Barnes
You've missed my point user. By calling the post ironic due to its interchangeable similarity with the efficacy of the NPC meme, you admit that the NPC meme has the same effect. It's reductio as absurdem. Either both are absurd or neither is absurd. Seeing as how the points being argues are obverse...
>rhetoric doesn't work The sophists would like a word with you user
Cameron Bell
>discourse You say this word like it has any meaning to this conflict. These people are incapable of seeing or understanding or even appreciating truth. There is nothing you could ever say or do that would change their mind. These are the people that insist we are all equal as Muslims gang rape children and run down Innocents in the streets. These are the same people defending the niggatry that is plaguing our inner cities. These are the same people attacking the family unit, and Law and Order, and the concept of a Sovereign Nation with secured borders. These are the people that are actively destroying their own identity for no other reason than they've been programmed to. Attempting to have discourse with these people is attempting to reason with them. You are no more capable of reasoning with an NPC than you are capable of reasoning with an ant. It does not understand truth. Just us it is unethical to humanize a human being it is so to unethical to humanize a non human being which is what you are doing.
John Hernandez
What is the psyop again? All the meme does is say Inner monologue = Human No inner monologue = NPC It is you that is putting some other spin on it. Which is just magical to watch. They are eating the bait hook line and sinker.
Next you will tell me that Sheeple was a psyop because its literally the same fucking thing.
Nobody's claiming the NPC meme doesn't have an analogous effect though. We're not grumpy that we get called nazis, it's the twitter user flipping out about this. The irony arises from the fact that she has a problem with this.
Joseph Cruz
I never said rhetoric doesn't work. I inferred that rhetoric doesn't work on someone capable of freely forming their own thoughts and opinions based off of their interactions with the environment around them due to their sensory perception. These people.... it's like they've been hardwired to function on something other than truth.
Jonathan Brooks
Explain what, people who are desperate to feel important by protesting rehearsing their lines to make sure they don't forget a talking point? No you're right, they totally have windows 98 in their brains instead of a soul. Checkmate atheists. For real though, if you can't square up with my point about reductio ad absurdem here I assume you're a cianigger
Adrian James
so calling people nazi, fascist, sexist, racist, homophobe, transphobe, islamophobe, or WHITE MALE! isn't meant to be dismissive, dehumanizing, demonizing rhetoric? rhetoric that can ruin a person's reputation in this day and age.
William Walker
Holy shit I struck a nerve. Gonna take me a while to read all this and it's already 3am where I live and I work in the morning boys.
