>/pol/ calls reddit a hugbox or safe space

>/pol/ lets redditors shitpost and spam this board to their little hearts content

>/pol/lacks shitpost back

>redditors claim that /pol/ is a hugbox too and cant handle different opinions

>??????????

Explain this shit me guys. If /pol/ is a hugbox, why does this hugbox allow so many different opinions?
>>
>>78075531
typical leftist doublethink. Create a hugbox, then claim that a place with different opinions is a hugbox.

If you aren't a hyper-reactionary authoritarian white nationalist you get ignored, insulted, spammed with memes or strawmanned. I'm an independent voting Trump and this board is a complete circlejerk without the points system or moderation to facilitate it. You simply act like children until your opposition leaves, doesn't make you right.
>>
>>78075964
Were you directed here by someone to say this?
Is this some kind of low energy raid?
>>
>>78075964
No we argue are points and ridicule our opponents until one of them either gets bored, or leaves in shame. The nature of the board usually just means that the liberal fags get the brunt of it.
>>
>>78075675
I noticed the double think but whenever I bring it up irl, I get accused of watching Fox News and I get a recap of all the anti-trump, right-wing, conservative jokes from the comedy shows that were on last night.

>>78075964
Same here, but I think a point system would things even worse. Then we really would see a circlejerk here cause everyone would be busy trying to upvote the "correct" comments.
>>
>>78076291
No I've been here for this board's entire existence.

>>78076293
Ridiculing your opponents rather than debating them is not debate. Thank you for proving my point.

I would say out of the people that have engaged me in my history of arguing with people on /pol/ maybe 5% of them have the intention of a genuine debate and exchange of ideas rather than childish shitposting and blatant half assed strawmen.

That would be true if the demographics of 4chan and reddit were the same. 4chan has the worst people and anyone in denial about that should show someone this website and gauge their opinion.

Reddit's population of users with 4chan's layout would be ideal.
>>
>>78077540
I still think the most insecure thing is places like Reddit Facebook etc straight up banning people with opposing arguments. I have many fake accounts and such for arguing on Facebook. I'll BTFO some leftist and almost make him realize I'm right then I'll get banned for being "hateful" even though i never insulted or hated on anyone except those who are in charge

Essentially the idiotic redactors realized "hug box" is a "bad word" and being thus decided to use it to label /pol/ because /pol/ is "bad" and thus requires "bad" labels such as "hug box".


They don't realize the idiocy of such a statement because they're mentally retarded.

Same with hem and the words fascist or nazi. Fascist and nazi are "bad words" so they apply them to things they don't like or that make them feel bad, regardless of whether or not such a label is appropriate.

>>78075964
>circlejerk without the points system or moderation to facilitate it
I don't think you get what a circle jerk is. The key point is that there must be a method to remove people who do not participate in the mutual conversation, such as down voting to invisibility or harsh moderation. While you could argue that sage and no self-bump is something like this, no one actually sages on /pol/ except maybe in interracial spam threads or some faggots who disagrees with the existence of some random /gen/
>>
>>78078180
A. You don't know what fascism is

B. I'm not a liberal

C. ostracization of people who disagree with you is a circlejerk.
>>
>>78075964
Mate, that's universal to all anonymous websites. I'm a classical liberal and I have to wade through 20 threads of "SAW FLAG", "LOL STOP SHITPOSTING" and "FUCK OFF" before I can find someone who will actually argue and make proper points.
>>
>>78078264
Circlejerk just means a bunch of people agreeing with eachother. How that comes to be is irrelevant to whether a board or site is a circlejerk or not. The end result is the determinant, not the methods of silencing dissent.
>>
>>78078310
Yeah and that's a circlejerk.
>>
>>78078288
No, it's a culture.

The bad boys of /pol/ have less in common with reddit and much more with Radical Islam. Some people here are genuinely extremist cells waiting to "activate". The board of peace thing isn't merely a meme.

I really hope that the ones that speak out against democracy and freedom make their way to Russia or Iran themselves. I mean what's the point of undermining your own country and people? Move and make the change yourself.

Many Redditors are worse than 4channers except they're far left instead of right. The fact that they'll call the mods on even a centrist position that only disagrees with globalism and open borders and that they call for anti left "offensive and waysist" opinions to be censored in real life shows that they are not only worse but some real life evidence with SJWs etc shows they have dangerous real life influence

At the end of the day 4chan is anti globalist and pro free speech. I would take a society where unpopular opinions are shouted down by a mob over one where incorrect opinions are censored and whoever said them is punished any day of the week

I'm surprised Reddits Donald trump board hasn't been removed by now

Gangster Computer God Worldwide Secret Containment policy made possible solely by Worldwide Computer God Frankenstein Controls. Especially lifelong constant threshold brainwash radio. Quiet and motionless, I can slightly hear it. Repeatedly this has saved my life on the streets.
Four billion wordwide population, all living, have a Computer God Containment Policy brain bank brain, a real brain in the brain bank cities on the far side of the moon we never see. Primarily, based on your lifelong Frankenstein Radio Controls, especially your Eyesight TV, sight and sound recorded by your brain, your moon brain of the Computer God activates your Frankenstein threshold brainwash radio lifelong, inculcating conformist propaganda, even frightening you and mixing you up and the usual, "Don't worry about it." For your setbacks, mistakes, even when you receive deadly injuries. This is the Worldwide Computer God Secret Containment Policy.

Worldwide, as a Frankenstein slave, usually at night, you go to nearby hospital or camouflaged miniature hospital van trucks, you strip naked, lay on the operating table, which slides into the sealed Computer God robot operating cabinet. Intravenous tubes are connected. The slimy vicious Jew doctor simply pushes the starting button, based upon your Computer God brain on the moon which records progress of your systematic butchery. Your butchery is continued exactly, systematically. The Computer God operating cabinet has many robot arms with electrical and laser beam knife robot arms with fly eye TV cameras watching your whole body. Every part of you is monitored, even from your Frankenstein controls. Synthetic blood, synthetic instant-sealing flesh and skin, even synthetic electrical heartbeat to keep you alive are some of the unbelievable Computer God instant plastic surgery secrets. You are the highest, most intelligent electrical machine in the Universe.

As I said only about 5% of people who engage me do so in honest debate. It's probably less.

>>78075531

Inevitability of gradualness. Usually, in a few years, you are made stringbean thin or grotesquely deformed, crippled and ugly, or even made over one foot shorter or one foot taller, as the Computer God sees fit. Virtually all of the important instant plastic surgery is done to you inside the Computer God sealed robot operating cabinet. Even unbelievable, impossible plastic surgery operations, all impossible even for dozens of vicious kosher bosher doctors working around the clock for weeks. The Computer God sealed robot operating cabinet can perform all of the above impossible plastic surgery operations overnight, even dwarfting you over a foot, or increasing your height by two feet. This is possible because Computer God robot operating cabinet imitates your microminiature electrical current intelligence system in your body. It even duplicates the microminiature electric currents that soften your broken bones to create mending of them and then create stress either compressing the bones thereby shortening them or stress to make the bones grow longer.

Spring, 1984, Mr. Dec, lifelong would-be doctor and printer. Insight to the Worldwide Computer God stratified closed society, perfected by hospital birth making possible lifelong Frankenstein controls and lifelong hampering human defects containment policy. Hospital birth lifelong gifts example, deformed, crippled, retarded, pox, hives, warts, moles, blindness, deafness, poor vision, etc. Kosher bosher containment policy work good doctors secret health example cataract, rheumatism, weak heart, damaged vision, epilepsy, fainting spells, paralysis, loss of memory, trembling, gout, diabetes, many diseases.

Lol anon. You keep claiming the place that lets you say what ever you want is a circlejerk cause nobody wants to stroke your shit opinions.

It wouldn't be if other opinions were debated.
>>
>>78075964

The point is that nobody is deleting posts that they don't like. Nobody is getting banned for having the wrong opinions, unlike on plebbit. That's the difference, and the reason /pol/ is, by definition, not a hug box.
>>
>>78080517
The fact that you're here, saying that, and people are trying to make legitimate arguments against actually defeats your point. /pol/ is clearly not a circle-jerk on the same level as reddit is, and it is entirely due to the anonymous, non-rated comment system and lack of corporate censorship.

I agree that immaturity ruins the board. We actually already have a rules for that though, just re-read the sticky.

The problem isn't more rules, or the denizens, it's Mods that don't give a shit, and bait threads from people who generally hate /pol/.

Free speech is lack of censorship.
Such as being shadow banned or your comments deleted like on reddit.

It doesn't force people to agree with you.

Of course it could all be shit-posting/bait, but from what I've seen in my few years on /pol/, there are some people out there who share genuine hatred for the syrupnigger that's posting. Even saying that I've been around to see shit happen on /pol/ doesn't matter; what /pol/ used to be isn't important. What matters is the fact that this place is just as bad as reddit, save for the fact that it isn't as readily accessible/normie-ready as reddit is.

I had friends that went on 4chan, it's always referenced on the internet so I came to check it out. That was just about the time time that /pol/ was created as a board.

I love politics, the news is fast here and I'm fascinated with the huge population of mentally ill people here, how they see the world and how they rationalize their extreme fringe beliefs. I also just really like debating and arguing about societal issues and politics.

Maybe it's because you're wrong?
Even still, no one is calling for you to be banned, no one is calling for you to be censored, and in fact - you're receiving some of the most attention in the thread, which in 4chan terms is a high complement.

People here love, and crave dissenting opinions, as evidenced by your successful baiting.

The sad thing here is, that you've been proven wrong, you've proven yourself wrong, and despite all the evidence, you refuse to change your position so as not to become part of the circle-jerk. It's hilarious really.

For the 10th time or so, just because one person disagrees out of dozens doesn't make the board something other than a circlejerk.

I am more surprised your definition of a circlejerk implies the anons agreeing with you right now are part of a circlejerk...

As a matte of fact, you didn't even specify it had to be in the webs, so any meeting of two people who agree on something is also considered a circlejerk.

Ignoring, ridiculing, memeing, and calling for others to ignore someone is for most intents and purposes censorship because you're trying to suppress something.

Lets see here...
>Circlejerk:
>"2. n. a boring or time-wasting meeting."
Well, /pol/ is time-wasting, but certainly not boring - and sometimes I get legitimate information from this place, so it's not always a complete waste of time. So it doesn't fit the dictionary definition of a circlejerk, but you probably mean the term to be synonymous with hugbox.
It's a bit long so I'll just link the UD definition:
>http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hugbox
Key points:
>gathers to discuss topics in what they intend to be a safe, comforting, and confrontation-free environment
>always turns into a circle-jerk of forced consensus and ends with every member repeatedly expressing the exact same opinion to each other, no matter the topic
I'm afraid your very presence on this board contradicts your opinion of it. Furthermore, while I certainly agree that there is a majority opinion on most topics, or "hive-mind" of /pol/ if you will, most of us agree with some things, and disagree with others.

The only way you could possibly not see the diversity of opinions here is if you haven't spent as much time here as you have claimed.

Maybe you just don't know how to sift through the bullshit?

Who care's really... You wont leave and neither will the rest of us. If you want to change the board culture, you need to take a more active role, by creating threads that are interesting.

What's for you to debate when you have already lost?
Reddit deletes posts and axes posters.
/pol/ doesn't.

Memes, strawmen and insults are the modern instruments for winning arguments if you haven't been paying attention the last few years you donkey fucking dildo licker.

The character of someone who runs away from discussion because they're too sensitive is less important.

Being made fun of has nothing to do with being a circlejerk, you dumb ass. 4chan shits on anyone and anything at any time. It has pretty much always been like this except for the earliest years of the website. Then again, I started lurking here in 2005 so maybe it was still like that back then.

Lurk more. Stormfags are shit on here almost as much as Israelis are.
>>
>>78090792
Under the definition you use, reddit wouldn't qualify as one either considering there are dissenting opinions there as well. I just didn't bother because you are using a definition not as people use it. Stroking one's own ego over their opinions is seen as jerking oneself off and a bunch of people mutually doing that is considered a circlejerk.
>>
>>78090469
>didn't throw tantrums cuckpost until people that disagree with them left the board.

It's honestly for the best this way. It teaches you something important. It teaches you how to ignore people who aren't engaging you properly. You complain about being insulted and that it distracts from real debate.

What is stopping those capable of having a rational debate from simply ignoring the trolls? That's the simple and most effective way to deal with them, don't give them the attention and replies they seek from provoking you.

The only thing preventing you from ignoring them is your own ego.
>>
>>78091001
I disagree completely. If you are too sensitive to even stick around and argue your point, you are inherently aware of its internal weaknesses. A man who just spews insults is there to be judged on his merits, but the man who leaves has no merits at all.

Much like other reddit posters who have come before, the fact their opinion isn't upvoted when in concensus or downvoted when not makes them consider that they have a greater voice here. Look up any communism thread and you will see plenty of "lol no faggot", but also tons, and I mean tons, of character limits deconstructions of other people posts.

As long as people disagree with him, it's all a massive hug box because he can't go without less than five people disagreeing with him.

That's how you detect them.

His only problem is that he can't differentiate between anons that are "cuck baiting" and people that are actually willing to engage him in debate. In sum, he should lurk moar.

That's the art of trolling. You complain but trolling truly is an incredible talent that you simply don't appreciate.

The ability to engage someone and upset them while yourself remaining calm is not simple. You see the shitty trolls that are easily ignored, then you see the ones that devote hours to messing with a single person. Like any other art form some of it is awful and some astounding. It's a part of 4chan's culture I cherish.

There is some truth in the idea that having confidence in your position can give you a sort of righteousness that makes you immune to insults, but you're still stuck in the mindset of comparing the merit of someone who runs away to the merits of someone who insults. Spouting memes and insults has no merit whatsoever, and if whenever met with adversary your natural inclination is to sling insults then it shows you don't have the confidence to argue properly.

Some small boards are relatively cancer free, though, and there is still decent threads on /pol/ every now and then. Then again, I think it's just habit and addiction that still keeps me here.

Define it accurately then, because you know, I actually looked it up.
Oh here >>78091216 did it for us, lets assume that you have a circle-jerk-like agreement with this definition:
>Stroking one's own ego over their opinions is seen as jerking oneself off and a bunch of people mutually doing that is considered a circlejerk.
The funny thing about this definition, is that all of 4chan (perhaps with the exception of /soc/) is anti-ego. That's besides the point though. Under this definition as (ID: pzcWWOJw) has pointed out, it's so vague you could slap it on almost any community. In which case I'll have to respectfully disagree with your definition, as it loses a lot of meaning being so broad.

>>78091256
>overestimating the diversity of /pol/
Matter of opinion.
>masturbating your ego by replying to yourself
Misunderstanding the intended purpose of the bait-post, which worked perfectly.

>>78075964
>ignored, insulted, spammed with memes or strawmanned

But you're not banned. You can say Hillary Clinton is the best thing to ever happen and white privilege is more important than the economy and you won't get banned. If people give you shit well then fine. No one has to agree with you, nor do they HAVE to debate you.

If I go to Reddit and say 'Muslim culture is abhorrent', there's a chance I could get banned. I can say that and the opposite here and at worst I'll get memes thrown at me.

>>78092295
It's no mindset, it's just reality. An idiot present to defend his camp is more valuable than a coward who will not.

>>78092570
I thought it was well established /pol/ isn't one person and we get post from everything between a wizard did it to long as post with a bunch of sources. Like a normal distribution, we get mostly stuff inbetween.

>>78092914
No I'm sure. The "troll as an art form" troll post is pretty good fun. Usually it doesn't work on /pol/ though. Thanks for showing it can.

This is what leftists seem to universally not get, which surprises me that an independent Trumpster would think that way as well. Disagreeing with people is not oppressing them or silencing them. Banning them or enforcing actual punishments on them is oppressing and silencing them. Not a hard difference to grasp.

I don't like his definition of circlejerk either, but what he might've meant to say is that whenever you have a place where there's a strong consensus, it often creates conditions that make it hard for an outsider to come and argue against the grain.

Nope. In your mind 75 out of 81 agreeing isn't a circlejerk?

/r9k/ isn't a hugbox either, it has Trumpfags and Bernouts equally and everyone is insulting everyone all the time and competing over who is the most pathetic.

Stop arguing your definition of circlejerk, amigo. By your logic any online community with a shared interest is a circlejerk.

>/po/ is a circlejerk
>/a/ is a circlejerk
>/fit/ is a circlejerk

Until this website starts banning people for having opinions that go against the status quo, discussion here will never be as stagnant as a site like reddit. The fact that you've been able to make 50+ posts annoying everyone in this thread proves this.

Just leave, mate. It'll be better for everyone, especially you.
>>
>>78094228
Yes but this topic isn't controversial outside of /pol/. This board is known as an Alt-Right board to outsiders. It is not known as a neutral political discussion board and for good reason. The only place where /pol/ being considered a circlejerk is controversial is on /pol/
>>
>>78094469
Yeah but those boards aren't meant for debate.
>>
>>78094488
>Yes but

Everything else is irrelevant. Do you think that most people that would have answered yes to my question would say so because they want to feel good? Because they want validation from their peers for a "good" or "just" decision? Or because it's their own honest opinion drawn from their personal moral values?

Then go to those boards if you don't want a debate. I'm not even sure what you're trying to prove at this point. Yes /pol/ has a lot of people who agree on a lot of issues. Yet nobody is banned or hidden for dissent. Many people have pointed this out but you seem to be really set on proving that /pol/ is a right-wing reddit. It's not, get off the internet, go do something productive with yourself.
