"4chan circumscribes a systemic, self-sustaining inter-reaction between diverse bodies and minds who, stripped of their ontic qualities, engage in a metadiscourse based on conceptual absurdity and culturally-transmitted, discrete units of information that take on the latent qualities of those through whom it is transmitted."

that's a really long way of saying we're a bunch of meme loving fucks
>>7429312
AND THERE'S SOMETHING TERRIBLY SAD AND BANAL ABOUT THAT
can someone explain that more simply?
>>7429312
"On 4chan, people talk"
why is the ability to speak in tortured jargon celebrated.
>>7429312
Posting unattractive people is probably the only thing that is still considered offensive on 4chan, isn't it
>>7429312
>"4chan spfdjslds;dldls;dep[ ddsd[s][dddd ds]d[]s[d]sd[ ds][d]s[d memes"
literally the same amount of info as that explanation.
>>7429325
its a good thing you illiterate
>>7429312
Source, pls.
There's nothing absurd about memeing, though.
>>7429328
Is she wrong?
>>7429312
Personally, I like to think of 4chan a cathartic place where social niceties are stripped away and we revert to our most juvenile, animal forms, abusing each other. It's like a digital fight club.
>>7429353
the fuck are you talking about, you druggie?
>>7429312
>"4chan circumscribes a systemic, self-sustaining inter-reaction between diverse bodies and minds who, stripped of their ontic qualities,
people are anonymous on 4chan
>engage in a metadiscourse based on conceptual absurdity and culturally-transmitted, discrete units of information that take on the latent qualities of those through whom it is transmitted."
they like to joke around and make memes
Why the circumlocution?
>>7429359
Now you're getting it.

I don't even like pomo but there was nothing difficult about that passage. It makes perfect sense.
>4chan circumscribes a systemic, self-sustaining inter-reaction between diverse bodies and minds who, stripped of their ontic qualities, engage in a metadiscourse
anonymous nerds who exist only as lines of text get together to talk about shit outside of the "bounds" of the current reigning culture
>based on conceptual absurdity and culturally-transmitted, discrete units of information that take on the latent qualities of those through whom it is transmitted.
who meme a lot. and everyone contributes something of their own personal, individualized experience of emotion to the general idea of "having feels" every time they post a wojak
>>7429360
To be fair, if you have an academic vocabulary and no knowledge of 4chan or memes, it's fairly descriptive.
>>7429360
>I hate when people use words I can't understand. :(
It's to weed out retards so they can't engage with you.
>>7429333
Because liberal arts departments wouldn't get funded and wouldn't be able to self-perpetuate if there weren't hordes upon hordes of naive undergraduates flooding into colleges, spending ridiculous amounts of money reading into and interpreting purposely stilted and tortured jargon written by career academics.
Obscurantist continental philosophy is written that way to justify its own existence.

"I'm a faggot."
Why is the ability to speak in tortured jargon like this celebrated?
literally who

Go to bed Judith Butler, abusing the thesaurus doesn't make you an intelligent person.

I assume OP is full of shit since I can't find the quote or the person in question talking in any way about 4chan with any search engine.
Only things I get are this thread and a /pol/ threads from some weeks back

Thanks for stating the obvious. Is this your first day on 4chan?

While you stated what she said, the lack of precision in the words you used misrepresent what she said/wrote/beamed through space on radio waves.
Metadiscourse is discussion about the discussion.
The danger of stripping communication of its content is the same danger of becoming a machine.
>>7429426
Why anyone above the age of 16 would save this post is beyond me.

Stop being a melodramatic white night fuckold
She was incorrect. Discussion on 4chan is not exclusively metadiscourse, nor is it exclusively based on "conceptual absurdity"
literally wrong
padding designed to make the author sound smart
bad writing.
>The danger of stripping communication of its content is the same danger of becoming a machine.

Reading these terrible posts makes me realize that /pol/ is worse than I thought.

Imagine you're just minding your own business on your lawn, probably watering something, and you hear screaming. So you look up and two 5 year olds you don't know come streaking down the pavement. One's on a tricycle, and the other is running after her, pissing.

hi plebbit
>>7429452
>muh pol
/pol/ has nothing to do with career academics being boiled down to "Pin the tail on the thesaurus".
Torturing language does not make you intelligent. It doesn't make you insightful.
Parroting "muh /pol/ boogeyman" when it has nothing to do with /pol/ makes you just as bad as /pol/ making everything about Jews.
>>7429468
Are you an idiot? I'm referring to the picture dump that some /pol/eb is doing.
>>7429470
it could be any board that has flags 2bh, so either /pol/, /int/ or /sp/
>>7429419
why people are responding, then? there's no point if the quote isnt real
>>7429492
/sp/ and /int/ don't have IDs.
>>7429492
No, /pol/ really is that stupid family.
>>7429495
Because people want to bitch about the evils of academia/postmodernism/Butler/feminism and so on.
>>7429495
People are discussing the quotation. Not fighting some internet war in every thread.
>>7429514
Postmodernism IS evil though

>>>/pol/ebs belong on >>>/r/books.
>>7429578
Not even pol. I'm extremely sympathetic to feminism, and i'm fairely left on economc issues. Postmodern criticsm is just a huge bugbear of mine, particularly the linguistic obscurantism and general eshewing of human nature. It's shit.

>However, they point out that Luce Irigaray might still be correct in asserting that E=mc2 is a "masculinist" equation, since "the social genealogy of a proposition has no logical bearing on its truth value."[25] In other words, gender factors may influence which of many possible scientific truths are discovered.

He forgot the emotional reality of horror and hilarity. Technical definition I'd give him an A-.
>4chan is a high speed, high volume lightning saloon greased by anonymity
>memes are what happens when large groups of people regularly get together to shoot the shit
>the inherent vulgarityof such an environment is a testament to the humanity of the times; voices without cultural-constructed filters. the social aspects exist still however, because social ritual is innate in the human being
>the paradox is that while societal cultural filters have been disintegrated, new cultural customs take its place
>in some bizarre irony, 4chan is the purest reflection of human culture in the 21st century 1st world consumer developed nation
>naturally the website, mode of communication, nuances of participation in this forum attract people of a certain disposition and/or backround
