Think of all of the pressure that has been exerted to sanitize social media of free thought and wrong think.
I find it hard to believe that HiroshiMoot would not have faced considerable pressure to shut us down UNLESS we served a specific purpose sanctioned by TPTB.
We all know it is monitored. I would just like to know whos interests we are inadvertently serving. I feel like this place is a social engineering laboratory and we are the unwitting Guinea pigs. We are not in charge here. I truly believe that this entire board is some type of psychological operation. Who is pulling the strings here and for what purpose?
how do you not know? they have us all in one place. why would they scatter us? here they can test us like rats in a lab. every day they introduce new memes to try to subvert our free thinking and push us into boxes fit for introduction into the blind consumerist machine.

Mook gets sheckles from glowniggers and he lets them fap to our lewd posts and maybe save a few screenshots when an actual nutjob shows up here
Carson Cook
This hivemind will be the only counter balance to the inevitable AI
Anthony Fisher
Totally agree, they need opposition. Controlled opposition. Stuff gets done here. Perhaps?
Jacob Robinson
you really don't think that jewgle, fagbook, and twatter are trying to engineer the parameters of acceptable discourse?
Jaxson Green
Meaning that if they want to cause a ruckus, they can have their shills use this board, possibly. And a scapegoat.
Isaiah Kelly
the jews
Gavin Anderson
what type of personality are they trying to mass produce here? Who are we serving?
David Jackson
None in particular, just freedom. It's called "Politically Incorrect", not "The Daily Goose-Step." We get many from various views, even radical lefties.
I come to Jow Forums for reasons other than just only Jow Forums. If Jow Forums has become co-opted to serve a purpoe, if I still get to post on my other boards about my interests in the meantime, then I'm alright with that.
Dylan Hall
>what is a vent
Ian Phillips
The next question is what is the backup when/if Jow Forums gets deleted? Infinitychan or somewhere else?
Jacob Moore
Exactly what the media said about the guy who went on a killing spree today. Making that embodiment, so that the regular people have a clear opposition. >Go to Jow Forums and become a white supremacist >Ohnoes, I don't want that! Even if I could've become redpilled. They're mixing signals with noise that way. And also, their bond becomes stronger in the face of "someone else" that's natural, studies show that.
Evan Richardson
Trump FBI DOJ
All of them protect Jow Forums and they know that the zionists love flooding this place and laying blame on regular people for their real world false flags.
Mason Perry

>why is Jow Forums still a thing?
Because we elect Presidents and we'll do it again. Jow Forums, like /b/, has a new kind of power. Dispersed, amorphous, capable and ingenious. We span the globe. Some of us are bots. One day we may have AIanons. (Wouldn't THAT be some weaponized autism?) We like what we like, we hate what we hate, and WE ARE HERE FOR THE LULZ. No one can order us about. We have no collective master. If Hiroshimoot got nuked today we'd regroup elsewhere.
We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We REALLY like being dicks, but sometimes we act with great kindness. We can and will turn on anyone who takes us for granted.
Dominic Diaz
I agree that Jow Forums is not monolithic. It has a wide range of opinions and any consensus opinions are ephemeral shifting like sands in the tide. There is, however, a unique culture here that seems to attract certain personality types. These people are then molded, to one degree or another by the hive mind.
My question is whether the hive mind is organic or engineered? It is not so obvious to me that it is merely freedom, as you say, at work here.
Evan Barnes
to be fair I don't think it's controlled, the beauty of Jow Forums is that you can say anything. Even if that makes it abit rough around the edges. But they're trying hard by having a buttload of shills here
Because they truly don’t see this board as a threat. They are arrogant. After all how can they spend billions for their causes and loose to a board of neckbearded rejects? The thought is too embarrassing to entertain. They still honestly think it was the Russians that won trump the election.
Elijah Peterson
Y'know it's hard to say whether the hive mind is organic or engineered, but as you say, they're controlling all social media with iron clutches, so it would be weird to not do the same thing here. Social media is the new TV, as TV is an old(er) form of indoctrinating the masses. Jow Forums is hardly exempt from this. But as to how, we're definitely supposed to be the scary opposition. Consider us similar to ISIS, at least in the eyes of the general public.
Joseph Collins
As you well know, at best, it only protects us from government censorship of speech. Jow Forums is a private platform. Why would Hiro endure all of the headaches, subpoenas, and pressures that arise from Jow Forums. Even the threat of civil lawsuits hangs over his head. If he endures it because he makes money selling our data, who is he selling it to and why do they want it? It is virtually useless for commercial purposes.
Ryan Robinson
>they don't have programs that gather our data already user, they know what words you erase, what posts you click at and lurk, which posts you read and what reaction you have to them. The NSA have mountains full of supercomputers, and our latest technology is a couple years behind what they have, They know very well how to manipulate people, that's their job.
Nathan Sullivan
>we're definitely supposed to be the scary opposition
this implies that the culture is not organic and is being honed and crafted to serve a purpose or someone's agenda
Dominic Kelly
I mean yeah they've been coopted by USG intelligence to some degree but it's all about money at the end of the day (and which is kinda why USG is pressuring them in that direction in the first place)
Jayden Brooks
Because Jow Forums is a Jewish psy op
Adam Jackson
well, since they can gather and use the data without paying Hiro, it just begs the question as to who is purchasing the data from Hiro.
He has a history of selling user data. If he is no longer selling user data then how is he making money or even covering the expenses of this site? It certainly isn't from banner ads that most users block. It certainly isn't from 4fag passes.
Hunter Powell
This. It was over a long time ago. If I want to say niggers are genetically less likely to be intelligent or Jews are likely to subvert nations and gulag me, so be it. It's not like I'm running for office.
Christopher Diaz
nono not necessarily, it's just made to look that way, like how Trump is seen as Hitler by some and a capable, reasonable leader by others. It's all about how you describe him, and what authority figure does the describing. I do believe that there's bigotry on this board but if that's organic or not is just a conjecture.
Joseph Morales
It was a happy accident that formed something worthwhile enough for others to exploit. I figure we are an FBI/CIA-sanctioned containment board.
Carter Myers
^ this and the shills are here, but since there are no power figures, they don't have any real power so they just become shitposters
John Young
Jow Forums really gives me a tavistock vibe sometimes
Dominic Allen
You just gave me something new to look into actually, so thanks for that user. I'm off, peace
Dylan Hill
The unique cultural hive-mind is snark; the ability to take it and dish it. Those who perceive us as flippant monsters haven't passed the great filter that sifts the thinking from the unthinking.
>Trump is seen as Hitler by some and a capable, reasonable leader by others. Nah, it's more simple than that—supporters are mainly reasonable & the opposition is bat-shit insane.
Samuel Hill
voat is still up but i guess it could serve the same purpose.
does seem strange how they seem to have unlimited reach aside from a handful of smaller sites
This has been my fear since 2015 too, they would have started in earnest after Hill took office, we may be on borrowed time
Jace Ortiz

Lucas Thomas
Everything that's ever been posted here is archived and can be traced back to the device/home/router of the poster. Everything you say can and will be used against you. Beware nigger hate/new hate/China hate threads etc.

The evidence.
Historically, Jow Forums was a left wing cesspool... It still is a cesspool just with more bots participating.
But, when Occupy Wall Street happened and Jow Forums was involved, literally a month after pol was created. Now, Jow Forums's pol is the polar opposite of what Jow Forums used to be. What greater evidence is there, than history.
If anything, the purpose of Jow Forums is to prove a consistent system that captures and regulates whatever diminished agency/freewill the people here have.
Legion is literally a swarm of demonic spirits that inhabited man, and Jesus cast into pigs which drowned themselves. It would make sense, that those of the learned occult, would wish to seize and domesticate this so-called Legion, to be utilized as their own demonic pet and for their own nefarious purposes.
Samuel Peterson
I've already told my family that I'm not getting into China lol
Anyways, as long as one is cognizant of one's opinions and have core values which are firmly rooted, then (((they))) can shitpost however much they want but they will never be able to change your mind. So Godspeed, adopt a religion or at least understand why it's important to have core values, lest you be swayed like the progressive liberals.
Benjamin Hill
Well the Japanese government of course
Benjamin Kelly
yes that is real
this is not, but it is a frightening glimpse of our future
It really starts to get unsettling starting at 00:48
Jacob Walker
>he thinks the constitution is actually protected and enforced by the government
Ryan Parker
you wouldnt believe what we have in darpa and the nsa.
Jacob Perez
that has not been adjudicated yet
It is a sound legal theory and I hope that that it is the eventual ruling. For all intents and purposes, the major social media platforms have become the town square.
Oliver Scott
they made the call that saved Jow Forums?
Isaac Myers
Jow Forums can't be controlled. At best, it can be herded in a general direction.
Holy shit that makes too much sense.
Eli Bailey
Jow Forums is censored, and it's slowly being censored even more. Used to be able to post gore, can't do that anymore. and racism is starting to be censored too.
Nathan Brooks
cause they are doing it in stages, pol will be one of the last ones to go or it will be shilled to death.
Jordan Butler
racism is banned on all boards except /b/.
Charles Green
Jow Forums generates the most ad views because a lot of the user base only really visits Jow Forums and are otherwise facebook/twitter warriors where adblock is almost unknown. This is why it continues to exist. Hiro gets paid.
Easton Bennett
most Jow Forumsacks use adblock
Also, it's not major corporations advertising here. This place is toxic for companies to advertise. These are cheap clickbait ads, not premium revenue generators.
Joshua Lopez
Dude, deep post, I forgot about Legion coming from the Bible. I actually think all social media has been a social experiment with Demonic influences all over it, causing chaos and death. We are no different, in fact it’s the demon possessed in our community that keep our truth at arms length from being understood.
Dylan Thompson
>most Jow Forumsacks use adblock Yeah, sure. Hiro enjoys possibly having to deal with the shit moot went through for practically nothing. No, Jow Forums generates ad revenue.
Jose Barnes

Gabriel Price
even if it wasn't being censored, it's fucking overflowing with magapede brainlets who ruin everything anyway.

Jow Forums's extremely transient nature makes it hard to meaningfully capture and sell user data UNLESS you have a pass. This is how he operated overseas as well.
John Wood
>Occupy Wall Street happened >Jow Forums was involved Some random "anonymous" retards and /b/ shitposters = Jow Forums is involved. Interesting

yes, I agree that the data is mostly useless for commercial purposes
The question is, "for what purposes is the data useful and who is buying it?"
Cameron Evans
It's far less nefarious than you think.
Lucas Ward
also dont forget the moralfaggotry implicit in Project Chanology
Oliver Cooper
A lot of threads are getting 404'd
Ryan Watson
...and, you would know this for a fact, how?
Aiden Garcia
The truth: Jow Forums is actually a hallucination of your mind. Think about it. Why would a site, filled with calls of violence, which agrees with most of your political views, exist in this day and age when far more moderate sites are closed down? The only answer is that such a site cannot logically exist, because otherwise it would have been shut down much sooner. Hence, the conclusion is that Jow Forums is either an individual hallucination within your mind (the solipsistic/schizophrenic interpretation) or that it is actually a collective hallucination, born of a million diseased minds. You find the board on Jow Forums because of your subconscious belief that Jow Forums embodies all that is extreme and counterculture. Hence, Jow Forums cannot be shut down because it does not actually exist. It is a product of either individual or collective schizophrenia induced by the total breakdown of society/
Julian Barnes
Despite what you may think, Jow Forums is still largely a place of teenage boys and young men. It's for consumerism. They want to know what you like, what you're buying, so they can sell to you better. Get an edge on their competition. Jow Forums isn't the lost city of Atlantis: there's no great mystery here that dark powers must seize.
Jayden Harris
IF YOU'RE READING THIS, YOU'VE BEEN IN A COMA FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS NOW. WE'RE TRYING A NEW TECHNIQUE. WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THIS MESSAGE WILL END UP IN YOUR DREAM, BUT WE HOPE WE'RE GETTING THROUGH.
>They know very well how to manipulate people, that's their job I've been thinking about this lately. Any young white man with a high T count and a backbone is most likely going to completely reject the left, and take a good portion of the white women with them. If this shit from the left wasn't shoved into my face daily i wouldn't be here desu or have arrived at the views i have. This leads me to believe the backlash was a desired result. But to what end?
