Psychosis is prevalent here. You're prone to dissociation from reality by consuming the content.

Despite what people here will tell you, it blocks you from critical thinking, its more of a galvanizer

yes of course it is, in fact its almost as bad for your mental health as never discovering it in the first place

If you can tell fiction from reality, no.

so is being a faggot dosen't stop you OP

Depends on how you look at it. I'm definitely less optimistic about the world, and think western civilization is fucked. I obsess over these things to a degree, because it's all that ultimately matters. Who cares about the latest captain underpants movie, or the new foldable phone or whatever, when the Third World is flooding into the West and festering, bringing us down to their despicable level. So it weighs on my mind heavily, and cant be good for my mental health, although in general I am "happy". But is ignorance preferable to knowledge? Would you rather know you have cancer or not?

All social media is, yes

If I'm not sufficiently disgusted with the modern world, I tend to slide into bad habits. Jow Forums actually keeps me on track.

Only if you kill yourself.

Only if you were already a basket case.

Jow Forums is really good for your mental health because it teaches you what information to ignore and what to accept, and it hones your ability to discern people's intelligence and sanity based on what they say

Very bad. Like the oldfags say "you'll never leave Pol".

Op its weird I had this thought. Most of the people here are crazy. Theres been studies, too much internet can make you temperarely crazy, but you can detoxify from it, by taking breaks. Pol is toxic af.

To an extent yes. Anonymity is a double edged sword, on the one hand, you can say whatever you want with some degree of protection against public backlash, on the other, you really don't know who you're talking to. For all you know, I'm a CIA agent trying to sway you into something self destructive, this means you always have to be on guard, and this is not healthy in the long run.

Yes and no.
This place makes me depressed, but it also makes me angry.
I can use that anger productively.
It's like the /fph/ threads on Jow Forums.
It means I am inspired to become better, because I am sickened and horrified of the alternative.

chicken or egg?

You can never leave Jow Forums.

Well

I happen to have a similar experience, though not quite as bad.
I have actually been able to quite for a few months at a time and get shit done.
But I'm always drawn back to this shithole.

Part of the reason is i need my (you) if i dont get one i have to try again...

For some, yes. For example, kids (including those in their early 20s) don't have the ability of a mature adult to filter information so it's likely spending time on Jow Forums will aggravate their mental health issues or warp their view of reality.

If you're a retard who believes half the shit here. This site is like any other forum.

>I'm a faggot
Shut the fuck up, /pol isn't some special hole in the wall site you've discovered. It's a forum board where more than half the time people post pseudo bullshit and retards think they discovered gold. The other half consists of circle jerking. Echo chambers and larping.
A couple of threads are decent content but for the most part is noise.

>most people develop paranoia/anxiety which triggers your body's coping mechanism psychosis all by realizing that you're fucked
ftfy

Jow Forums in general is

that question has no answer. completely depends on the individual.

good and bad aspects tbf
on one hand it teaches you a lot that you'd have a hard time finding anywhere and it can help you better yourself, on the other it can suck the fucking life out of you arguing about pointless shit and replying to shitty b8
here (you) go leaf

As long as learning earth is flat doesn’t break your brain, I guess not.

are you stupid, You just made his point for him.

Jow Forums is mostly idiotic and malicious noise. The old meme is that it is futile to attack us because it is like pissing in an ocean of piss. We cause so much noise on our own that it drowns out attempts to subvert and hones intelligent minds who observe the noise to discern useful and usable information that can lead to true knowledge. It used to be a staple of /pol that best of threads would always be up with libraries of the best quotes and link chains. These would lead to great discussions and debates over the veracity of the claims.

Long term exposure and adaptation to this mode of communication if properly used leads to a very high degree of active information filtration and investigation. Those of us who have achieved this state have proven to be very effective at influencing the world as a result. This has received attention from powerful intelligent funded guardians of ideology and status quo. Active measures are always active to suppress the channels by which Jow Forums used to generate unified goals and visions and instead has reduced to a propaganda and news aggregate with a lip service to venting off steam for "extreme views". This place has been operated on for long enough that they have discovered ways to effectively neuter this mode. The only way we can defeat this is to spread awareness of active measures and to actively operate ourselves to ensure quality posts are conserved and shared.

cant stop laughing at the seething in current yang threads, the "its happening" nonsense of mueller going nowhere and the occasional "where can I find a quality wemen" when the overweight unclean aimless op is jacking off to traps for ages
but sometimes you learn more than on the dumpsterfire that is /b

>he didn't distill good advice gleaned from Jow Forums to make improvement to his life
I admit that his place is like an addictive black hole. It's hard not to let this place interfere with time that should be spent doing other things. It's also hard to prevent it from interfering with school work. Finding the right balance is difficult and I am still struggling with it. But there has been a lot that I've seen on this site that has influenced my life in a positive way.

Imagine craving porn so much that you make fun of other countries when they don't have easy access to it.

Jow Forums actually helped me cure my OCD and social anxiety problems. Sometimes you just say nigger a few times on here then you're ready to walk out in public again.

It's an echochamber were noone does anything constructve or healthy and constantly goes in circular discussions on topics. You tell me. If I wasnt so flawed a human I wouldnt be here.

anything that has to do with the Internet is bad for metal health

If you visit it too much, yes. This board is constantly raided to make us feel bad, to make us feel like we're losing, they are actively trying to demoralize us. Just come here every now and then, drop some redpills or help spread some redpilling info. Don't fall for the blackpilling shit and give up. We'll win, it'll just take time. This is a long game of struggle and strength.

>noone
*no one
Why do normies always spell it like "noone"?

Too much of anything is bad for your health be sure to go outside this weekend and get some exercise

Red pills become black pills without justice. Pol is very bad for mental health. It’s at least 60% outrage porn.

Oh the irony.

in french canadian a noone is a vagina

My mental health was already fucked but yes. If you are normal don’t post here. It will make you hate people for no reason.

honestly yes
99 percent of all posts are complete garbage including yours
its sad because 99 percent of ppl here are here because they are losers. Most didnt end up here motivated by politics or anything but because they are losers and got absorbed to Jow Forums bubble
you guys are better than sjws and libshits but honestly there is nothing useful about this board
you guys will never defeat whatever supposed enemy that is destroying whatever you stand up for. Fucking losers. At least you aint a commie sjw libshit or whatever loser loser types
I regret for discovering this shithole. Well this website is now nothing more than global update for me amyways

Kind of, some people can't handle the truth.

>imagine loving the nanny state and justified this as a good thing.

I hate when i take a lot of time to write a post and nobody even replies. So have a (you).
(I didn't even read your post, sorry leaf)

Only for the weak who can't handle it and end up getting black pilled.If you fall into that trap then you are of no use to us any ways.

Porn is. Now stop shilling, Katie.

No. Lmaoing at minorities is linked with good health.

Its actually been good for me. I walk today as a man with much more conviction in his beliefs which is strides ahead of many of my friends.

Also, this place is a fuckin kek goldmine. The laughs never stop coming here. You guys make me laugh so fucking much.

Absolutely.

Absolutely. I came in during 2015 and got sucked into the Trumpism just like the rest of the board, once he won and all the illusions and wishful thinking that his rhetoric propagated were broken, there wasn't really a direction to go mentally aside from unironic satanic neo nazi psychopathy, which is where sadly a lot of anons fell with the whole cville and gab thing; then there's the conspiracism, the Qanon schizo shit etc, every crazy schizophrenic retard on this board starts to seem smart the more you come here because when you're exposed to anything long enough no matter how bizarre it starts to make sense. Luckily there were people around who cared enough to break the mental prison this board posed on all of us. As 2020 draws closer and closer there's going to be another influx of newfags and i think the most important thing any sane person on this board can do is preach normality.

It could be if you're living in an environment where you're surrounded by the enemy, like a coastal liberal city.

Jow Forums is yes. nothing but a echo chamber of maggots shit talking each other while jerking off to gore. fuck this place hope it gets shut down soon.

Sooner or later you find the thing you were subconsciously looking for the whole time. After that, it all balances out. You drop in now and again to help redpill the younglings, and the cycle repeats.

>head to the nearest Arts college
Stopped reading right there.

Thank God For Mental Illness

why tf are her tits blurred, I want to see those nipples

2/10 post

No, but I think it'd be better if people avoided posting degenerate/pornographic imagery.

Pro tip to the paid shills and tranny invaders: The best way to corrupt the board and make us not want to be here is with degeneracy, especially the kind that isn't immediately offensive, i.e. OP's pic as opposed to a white girl licking a black dude's asshole.

moderation

It can be. Getting redpilled can fuck you up.

define reality

we are all living in our subjectively perceived reality, the question is how much it helps you in the game of society

Jow Forums is cancerous. Cancer spreads. Of course Jow Forums is bad for mental health. Most mentally ill retards I know browse Jow Forums.

Call to Jesus. Be patient. Soon you will understand.

>inb4 not believing in this
Believe on the countless people accounts. Do call Jesus

the long posts are always the same nonsense. either the other person is too stupid to understand it or they are aware of it already

I've come here nearly everyday for 6 years and I turned out fine :)

definetly
it will further you away from reality and into a mass psychosis fueled by insanity that will find no real solid ground in the real world.

sauce is probably Fanny Francois.

i think it's good
we live in a such a PC culture
it's probably healthy to be non-PC once in a while
that being said, if you genuinely believe anything said here and aren't just joking, you're fucked in the head

yes

Even when you have no friends, Christ is there for he knew you before you were even born. You may not believe but try it, you will be amazed.

Heather Graham used to be so hot.

oui

Pretty much this. It says it all without saying much at all. Post of the day.

yes
