Depends..

Whoa what a reaction. I wasn't going for validating what they did by criticizing the replacement of information about their political ideas and actions with the word "extremism". But that seems exactly how people understand the term. As if there was a righteous or acceptable "middle" the degree of deviance signified how good or what smth is... The political compass needs to know what things are about, not how "x-treme" they are.

Or we need to use that term on any bombing of people, like for example "the extremism of [any us president]". Step 2 would be picturing what benefit that would add to the conversation

I think this is it more or less.

It felt like fun freedom to have a communicative realm with no rules, guidelines, morals at all. But in hindsight I guess it was fine for me because I had a moral compass and intellect so mad-max-land allowed me to re-explore my limits and opinions on my own, like from point zero, without preexisting structure (wich is always present if there is any decency).

For some, apparently, that was not fine. Like they didn't catch themselves in the freefall of morals and epistemology that comes with the 4chan credo of "everything here fake and foolish...". Or maybe it's that some don't have a corrective social realm outside 4chan, able to get them back to the ground. And those ones overtook. (Maybe cause the other ones are done playing edge walk after a while).

Tl;dr: had fun, learned some, feel a bit bad now

A factor might be that no one likes to be remembered theyre soon to die..

Just gonna use this to not offtopic everyone: How come I can sometimes not see up/downvotes but only that global score in the upper right corner?

Nice, thank you. NCD though? Non cummunicable disease? Non convergent discourse?

You're probably right I had been a bit behind regarding the discourse about the internet. I was in my early teenage years and just started knowing about it.

And for your second claim: If you define communism the way I usually do (the social principle of coorperating to fulfill everyones needs), it seems likely the internet would be designed towards peoples needs, rather than companies profits. Of course it would still consume ressources to provide cat videos, but the required ressources might be less, since cooperating/sharing ressources is more efficient than competing.

Not sure if this is meant to normalize or to reflect violent handling of the billionaire-problem. Sure you are good at posting nevertheless.

Don't you think we should not share links with paywalls that late in the text? It is very annoying.

Komm nich drauf aber will wissen
