This is a topic I've been thinking about the past few months, or possibly years, but I want to make a post about it now.
I've seen 4chan, a website filled with some of the most mentally "off" people on the entire internet, influence internet culture, and by extension, the culture of the real world as well.
4chan is the source of many memes that became popular in the mainstream, such as Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life, a meme that I saw a friend in high school repeat in real life a couple of years ago.
4chan has lead several other things to become popular in the mainstream. Minecraft started out as a community project on 4chan, and, eventually, it's popularity became enormous to where I saw bible books based on being published at my local bookstore. This has happened with other video games like Undertale and Five Nights at Freddy's, the former of which was given to the pope as a gift, both games were popular on 4chan when they first came onto Steam.
I'm not saying /pol/ had that much to do with it, but /pol/ was one of the only places that took Trump seriously when he first campaigned. Everybody was laughing at him and making jokes about him when he first campaigned, but /pol/ kept shilling, and in combination with news media outlits (like Fox News and Breitbart) along with events like the Syrian refugee Crisis and Hillary's leaked emails, the cultural perception of the masses changed to where Trump seemed decent in comparison to Hillary.
My main point is, something that worries me in the long run of the US 30 years or so from now, is the anti-semitism of 4chan.
I'm not Jewish myself, but one of my best online friends is Jewish, and he thought Hillary was going to win. I told him that anti-semitism and the cultural climate was changing, and anti-semitism was growing.
My main point is, has /pol/ influenced internet culture to be anti-semetic? A few years ago, I didn't see it that much, but with recent historical events. Conspiracy theories revolving around(cont)

Probably in some sense, I remember some boomerGOD saying that even south park influenced schoolchildren to be antisemitic because it made jew jokes look cool.
4chan in general though was a prospering ground for antisemitic ideas such as "the jews control everything" AND it was a hip website for cool kids unlike stormniggers.
But the specific boom in antisemitism that's related to the war in Israel is probably less related to 4chan than it is to the politics that predated it.

>>1302I want to add that in my eyes 4chan is influencing kids to be edgelord chuds the same way that reddit and places like r/196 or 'cord are influencing kids to be faggots.
The process is very similar.
> kids get attracted to the place because they post COOL and FUNNY memes> the very same place is used to spread any propaganda (in 4cucks case it's because they've literally been kicked out everywhere else)> eventually the ideas become more normalized due to obvious mechanismsThe same thing is happening on sharty obviously, but I'm fine with it since a 'teens mostly condemn pedophilia and being a sperg online, like that Goonclown guy

>>1285>My main point is, has /pol/ influenced internet culture to be anti-semetic?Probably not much, I feel like most people are either /stormfront/ or they aren't. What 4chan has certainly done is increase the prevalence of antisemitic imagery. Happy merchant, (((echos))), and "goy", all have their own Wikipedia pages/sections. If not for 4chan they would have remained obscure stormfront references.

>>1285None of the 4chan memes reach me because of 2ch (Russia).
2ch literally overrides 4chan's culture with its own.
Except for Pepe, although Pepe has minor popularity there compared to YOBA PEKA.

(cont) conspiracy theories are starting to gain more headway and are starting to be taken more seriously. If you look up a word like "Talmud" on Youtube, you will get several results with titles like "The Jews exposed!'.
This concerns me, because I am not only friends with a Jewish friend, but I have friends from several other cultures. I'm friends with a bunch of native americans, and I'm wondering how american culture will change in the long run, and if /pol/ is influencing it.
What do you think, /qa/, is /pol/ influencing culture? Is it a threat to minorities?
