New fag here. Wondering what /pol/ was like before the Trump meme and if you guys think it will ever go back to what it used to be.
Better becuase you weren't here.
/pol/ was good back when it was /n/. Even /new/ was okay since the cancer was contained.
Anyway, to answer your question, it had a lot more libertarians.
>>74128043
fpbp
I wasn't here before then, but imagine it was just Americans making fun of Obama because he was a bad Uncle Tom.
Was very anti socialist as well, but thanks to Bernie, well, that hasn't changed much.
Honestly, I wish pol would focus more on showing how Bernie gets away with fucking everything and use #feelttebern against people who support Bernie as stupid faggots who fall for the Jew media every time.
>>74127964
The Trump Train has no breaks. We can never go back, Kek wills it.
It was a pretty happenin' place. :)
The quality has somewhat gone down, for sure. No idea if it will change back. Depends on the brave shitposters who need to post less shit
>>74128166
>go after this person who is weakening $hillary
Shoo shoo dirty Jew. Your tricks won't work here.
>>74128292
I imagine it will go back to how it was. The election hoopla brought too many newfags who don't bother to lurk and hopefully they'll either go back or assimilate when it's over
>>74127964
Same but without trump threads and MAGA pictures. Every time a dindu died there was a big celebration and everyone would get together to watch the riots and party.
It was less organized and there was more nigger hating.
I actually like the way nu-/pol/ is though. I can feel the meme magic flowing through me whenever I post here now. There's a very strong communal sense happening nowadays since we're all so unified under the Trump cause. Overall it feels more enjoyable.
>>74128609
but das racism tho
>>74128654
>I actually like the way nu-/pol/ is though. I can feel the meme magic flowing through me whenever I post here now. There's a very strong communal sense happening nowadays since we're all so unified under the Trump cause. Overall it feels more enjoyable.
are you serious?
/pol/ always had a community feel.
Before Trump was JIDF.
Who am I kidding? They're still here
i miss old flags, i dont want this cucky shithole flag only because im living here for a bit, im not even german.
>>74128725
I'm agree with the other guy. We may have been a community but now we're a successful community.
>>74128725
This. It was sort of recent but remember when Zimmerman was acquitted? I don't I've seen /pol/ that happy before.
>>74127964
You mean dorner and zimmerman?
>>74127964
>>74129336
It was all about zimmerman. Then ebola. Then it ferguson/ blm. Then pol harbor happened. Then racemixing/ bbc. Now a lot of election stuff yeah.
>>74127964
It was just horrible news after horrible news.
Take away any Trump related thread and what are you left with? Reddit and left-wing invaders attempting to get a foothold, Nigger did (enter crime here) thread #187475, Islam committed another atrocity thread #183624, Average person loses job/life/home because they weren't liberal enough and made a twitter post/statement that hurt peoples feelings thread. Shit was always a downer, there seemed to never be an end to the onslaught of horrible and tragic news that kept flooding this place.
Then Trump came and everything has done nothing but get better. Sure there was the odd Poland isn't cucked thread, or some right-wing party isn't taking some random shit thread every here and there, but since July there has always been a small beacon of hope in /pol/ that hasn't been seen in years.
It's actually making people patriotic again. People are coming out of the hellhole that the left has created and are saying that they are fucking finished with the PC bullshit that they have put up with for years. There's always at least one thread now where you can always find some libcuck or cuckservative getting their shit thrown back into their face as their buzzwords are losing power on national television.
The Trump "meme" is the best thing that has happened to /pol/ in years, and the best thing to happen in the United States for decades.
>>74129196
yea, it was actually a smarter group back then.
don't get me wrong, /pol/ has some good, but it's also nastier now. there used to be an underlying stronger sense of optimism
>>74130157
The refugee invasion happened.
For most of us, optimisim is gone.
>>74128244
Dubs don't lie. Praise Kek!!!
>>74129890
Seconded. It's as if /pol/ as an entity has snapped out of a depression.
>>74127964
Wait for the next happening after Trump loses. Trump will always be a meme here, sadly.
>>74130157
I disagree, after shit like Paris, Brussels, Refugees, Trudeau, BLM etc. I think Trump and the rise of other Nationalist Populists are the ones who brought some optimism back
>>74130415
yea, good point, hit me right in the feels
>>74128111
This. The left forced a lot of people to flip from libertarian to a further right stance.
>>74127964
i liked /pol/ when aussies were the shitposters, not the fucking leafs
>>74127964
During /n/ and /new/ Alot more antisemitism, every second thread was somewhat about the jews and calling everyone jidf. You have to be abit more specific otherwise its hard to tell you what is why like back than
>>74130754
I know you will call me not optimistic, but we have to face a worst case scenario in which trump loses
>>74130920
Aussies shitpost, leafs do think what they type.
>>74130157
I've been around here a long time, late 2012 early 2013 was the gloomiest I've seen. Maybe rightfully so
>>74127964
Lurk more and assimilate or return to reddit, my man.
>>74130920
Same with you, lad. Romanians were the original shitposters.
>>74130993
romanians are just shit
>>74127964
Before Trump it was a bunch of kids spouting cuck memes for like a year. So much so that the board was physically altered for like 2 months. Then before that it was your run-of-the-mill Hitler, Jew, and white-supremacist shitposting. The Zimmerman trial brought a break in the mold for a good couple months.
>>74131055
>he wasn't here long enough to know about romanian shitposting being so bad they were range-banned
Newfag absolutely confirmed.
>>74131065
>regular posts on 4chan automatically equals "shitposts"
Back to /r/4chan, cancer.
>>74130952
It will not be good on this board if that happens
>>74127964
Had lots of Ron Paul memes in a sort of "I told you so" fashion.
Obligatory nigger hate thread.
Obligatory Holocaust isn't real thread. (Protip: it really isn't real).
Lots of threads about minor happenings.
Hitler worship threads.
Ben Garrison threads.
Typical "is x white?" / "redpill me on x" threads.
Fedora tipping threads.
Won't ever be the same though due to becoming too mainstream.
>>74131309
I can't imagine the shitposting on here. I'm going to /refugee/ to /sci/ until it dies down. It might be a good thing for the board too, considering trump brought in a lot of politically illiterate newfags
>>74130993
>Romanians were the original shitposters.
Nope, they started in mass and were gone as fast.
It was exactly the same minus everything Trump. Frequent shitposting, obscure memes, Ron Paul posting (although Trump has destroyed his reputation on /pol/), basically everything against the mainstream. NatSocs were less common, and most of the time it was only for the memes.
>>74127964
I want to play with that feminine benis.
>>74127964
where did you get this pic of me?
>>74131957
>It was exactly the same minus everything Trump
>and most of the time it was only for the memes.
Confirmed for joining /pol/ within the last year.
Fuck off, newfag.
>>74127964
/pol/ has always been kinda mediocre, with glimmers of brightness. Mostly just "I HATE [Insert Group here]" or "ARE X DEGENERATE?" or "MY LIBERAL COWORKER SAID Y" and some Ben Garrison/Bantz threads (though those were pretty funny).
Then something big happens and /pol/ gets awesome. Zimmerman, Michael Brown, Elliot Rogers, Paris, Belgium, and Trump.
Trump is just a glimmer of brightness that keeps on shining though, because it'll last for AT LEAST as long as the general election.
If Trump wins, then I am not sure what is gonna happen to /pol/.
Right now I'd say /pol/ is the best it's been (minus the influx of non-4chan newfags, but they should go away soon) in a long time. Zimzam and Trump are the two best things to happen to /pol/.
>>74128784
Trump supporters are JIDF my good friend
>>74132138
>Le newfag maymay ebin
As an "oldfag" you should know that only insecure newfags use that term. Perhaps you should try out >>>reddit.
>>74132618
speaking of shitposters
>>74131957
>Natsocs were less common
TOP KEK
/new/ was a NatSoc board and this was a Natsoc containment board from the very beginning.
sieg heil redditor.
>>74132699
Oh yeah JIDF with high cognitive dissonance
>>74132623
Wew lad, I've used the term time and time again because it fits the need. What am I supposed to call the influx of new lads here?
Also, learn to crossboard-meme correctly, laddy. Perhaps it'll teach you where you actually belong
>>>/r/eddit
Nice freudian slip, by the way.
>>74128111
We're still here.
>>74133042
I just became a national transhumanist
I was mostly here for early pol and the new pol stuff.
Early on it was pretty fucking stormfront and the memes were weirder and more indecipherable.
Now DESU is probably the most entertaining I've ever seen pol, although I'm sure the regs think the sub is ruined because change is bad.
>>74130816
>forced
explain please
This place used to be better news source.
I think the people that posted alot of the better quality news articles left this place.
The flags are a double egded sword, I feel kinda bad that the newer users never got the experience of choosing their flag.
Overall the quality got worse but the lulz are more frequent.
>>74133279
>the sub
subtle
>>74133042
Never left.
>>74127964
that fucking image
burn the universe
>>74129769
>Then ebola
I honestly had the most fun during the Ebola outbreak.
Everyone was making blood shrines and freaking out that it somehow had gone airborne.
>>74127964
Funnily enough, since nu-pol has begun with trumps candidacy I've found my hate boner wildly suppressed
Elder pol was nothing
>Jews doing this
>Muslims doing that
>the pc police strike again
As a Buddhist it was hard on me to constantly practice mindfulness while knowing of the suffering the NWO imposed on others
Trump is a welcome distraction from the evil that this board had the cojones to face
>>74133938
How new are you?
>>74128043
Fpbp!
Newfag has to go back
POST YOUR OLDEST /pol/ EVENT PICTURE!
I've been here since Sandy Hoax.
>>74128043
Good on ya Bazza
>>74129890
I don't want to see what will happen to this board if Trump loses, it's an uphill battle for him.
>>74131065
>physically altered
Are you referring to when moot loaded up on new filters and turned off captchas? I haven't been on /pol/ that long but I remember that happening
Eh, I came here about two years ago from /v/ and /fit/ and the quality tends to fluctuate. Trump is great because he focuses the board on a general topic rather than the usual shit that got posted in between happenings. /pol/ is basically /b/ with more swastikas and less tranny porn without a happening.
>>74127964
/pol/ changes over time. dont expect it to be pro liberal for a while because there are more liberals in the west as president/prime minister/chancellor
while you can say we are all just a bunch of contrarians the reality is the ruling class tends to fuck up and they are to blame
so after merkel is dragged from her home and killed in the streets and hillary loses and the UK leaves the EU it might change but it would still take some time after all of that
>>74127964
It used to be Ron Paul proclaiming the end
Now it's Trump proclaiming the future
Both are wrong in the worst of ways
It's been more or less the same, that's why I love it here.
The Chris Dorner manhunt, Ferguson chimpouts, and the Zimzam trial are my fondest memories. I think the Zimmerman trial was probably the golden age of /pol/ and I don't think anything will ever top it.
The 2012 election was when /pol/ was more libertarian and loved Ron Paul. Doom Paul and Moonbase Newt are all I can remember, that was around the time when I first started coming here.
/pol/ during the 2016 election is pretty much summed up like this:
>Fox news and the cuckservative media are acting like Jeb is the presumptive nominee
>guac man leads every single national poll
>the only people even remotely coming close to him are other establishment cucks like Walker and Jewbio
>/pol/ is nihilistic as fuck and tentatively backed Rand but knew that he was nowhere near as based as his father was
>out of fucking nowhere our prayers are answers and Trump comes in
>blows ¡Yeb! out of the water in the most hilarious way possible
I really think /pol/ is pretty united under Trump. I've got a feeling that it's just getting started and that November is going to be even more hilarious.
The fucking nefaggotry itt. MILO you bastard. Reddit you shithole.
Only major changes since the start of the board:
1. Ron Paul proclaiming the end times has been replaced by Trump proclaiming the good times
2. Australians used to be widely disliked and disrespected, now they're among the most beloved posters and Canada is the new local bitchboy because of Prime Minister Dudeweed
3. Meme magic has completely shifted the board's tone
>>74136971
it's all a blur to me.
>>74129769
this 2bh
Plus Winter-Chan, PAY DENBTS to Greek posters (this seems to have died off), and rapefugees
>>74132080
>>74132060
never change
>>74130816
Libertarian nationalism. It isn't as much of an oxymoron as it sounds like.
>>74127964
trump literally elevated the level of discussion on /pol/
>>74137581
this, instead of trump posts it was posts about ron paul or ron paul macro images with "SOON" or "HAPPENING".
>>74137581
The amount of shitposting/slide threads has increased dramatically, enough to call it a major change.
>>74139013
this is only partly true. the ron paul libertarians were chased out by joot fucking with the board before he quit like a LOSAH. the meme persisted in their absence and was reappropriated.
>>74139288
Honestly I'm just so used to it it seems normal now.
>>74127964
it was a LOT more antisemitic
but there was also a huge shitposting cuck phase when moot nuked the board out of pure salt
>>74129890
LeMay would probably be very upset that he was turned into a kawaii loli anime character.
>>74128043
What this nigga said. Trumpfaggotry kinda dull this board. Hopefully they will be gone after November
>>74128166
>wasn't here before
>Still thinks he can talk shit
>>74131065
>run of the mill Hitler, Jew
You people learn nothing, nothing will change.
>>74131065
Don't forget Dorner.
They still can't corner the dorner.
>>74127964
Pretty much the same minus Trump. What did you expect?
