Seriously. How to we get that hell hole removed from the web.

    they’ll just reconstitute somewhere else if 4chan gets shut down. the problem isn’t 4chan, its reactionaries being totally removed from the consequences of calling for violence thanks to the internet.

      I'd rather that they have to go through the effort of trying to reorganize again and again instead of just throwing hands up and saying "4chan is inevitable, do nothing, lol."

      Deplatforming made Milo Yianopulos basically irrelevant. I'd rather at least try reducing the fascist signal.

          Because sometimes removing someone from easy access to an immediate audience doesn't magically grant them the ability to regain that presence and audience elsewhere.

          That's why 4chan should be banned anyway, no matter how many "nothing will work so try nothing lol" theories are floating out there.

        I'm mostly just pissed off that somebody is squatting on @Nero without making it a bit account.

        Like, come on! Make the account, talk to the admins, post the 14 words, and get banned! It's the perfect account bit!

          And now I can't link back to their profile and say, "Well, wait 'til you see what Milo has to say about this shit!" and it's a ban page.

      Using Hexbear and T_D as proof, shutting down where they congregate works because they can never agree where they should move to and their next hub is inevitably smaller and less influential because the userbase can't reach as many people

        T_D website was one of the biggest hubs for organizing their January 6th protest and potential coup that could have easily caused a constitutional crisis if it had gone according to plan. If the class forces are strong enough, it does not matter where they are located since most are willing volunteers for their cause.

          If they got close to what they wanted - it would have been a military/police coming in to mass murder and Congress checking the boxes while standing on dead bodies.

          The whole thing was hinged on some Sovereign Citizen bullshit.

            The police stood down and let it happen, if they weren't actively collaborating.

            Everyone in charge of security there knew or should have known that some degree of riot was coming, yet they did nothing to oppose it. Whereas a few months before they had armies of cops beating the shit out of people who were far less violent and far less vocal about their violence.

              Well why would police hate them? But given the order - they would kill. The oriole giving the orders are Trump boys.

              They still are.

      In a socialist society these sites would be hounded and each time a new one pops up their leaders would be investigated

      Yeah, kinda wishing they'd do another "unite the right", I'm ready to introduce them to "consequences".
