Remember when this site was worth a fuck and we had real conversations between all the porn addicts?

Faggot porn addicts have arrived

Any Forums was never good

I dont know, Im leaving the internet. I destroyed most of my presence today. My eyes have finally been opened completely to the uselessness of all of this. I mean, logging on to Any Forums has always been about as useful as popping a couple oxys and jacking off, but now I can see that no matter where you go its all poison. We can discuss Packwood’s book on meme magick if you want

ia801601.us.archive.org/2/items/MemeticMagic/Packwood%2C%20K.Mimetic%20Magick_text.pdf

well you really believe in meme magick? because i have a few thoughts on that. I was on [s4s] before Any Forums picked up kek and took it to a whole other thing, but back in 2013 we had several threads where people were just posting the word "kek" as a joke because it was like a corruption of lol and we found out there was a turkish snack cake called "top kek" so it was just a really dumb hilarious running joke on that board for a while. then we got tired of it, it just kind of stopped naturally. then a little bit later Any Forums picked it up and turned it into that kekistani thing but i always thought maybe us being stupid on [s4s] had something to do with birthing this weird reality we live in
smh tbh fam

I dont know if i believe in literal magic but i believe in the philosophy relating to control bots and subconcious symbology and manipulation and functionally whats the difference. I believe trump was memed into power. I believe that as they said in war games, when it comes to the culture war “the only way to win, is not to play”

true, yeah human psychology is apparently a lot easier to manipulate than anyone thought
what a scary thing, can't imagine what's going to happen in the future

I view magick, as Packwood calls it, as an untaught school of psychology that is being abused by corporations to sell shit. In that sense, its undeniably real. You can never be sure that you came to any decision on your own in light of the sneaky decietful propaganda we are inundated by, if you are a thinking person enough to realize it

not even, faggot
I used to be able to find good threads, or make good threads, every night. It may have been 98% shit then, but now its 99.95% shit.

I'm actually surprised by this thread right now, even if its still nostalgia over shit

have you ever watched a documentary series called The Century of The Sefl? I think you probably find it on Youtube, but it's got a lot to do with what you're talking about, manipulating society for profit and so on. It's definitely a real thing that is currently happening.

OP here, not denying it was mostly shit then too. Just saying i used to usually be able to find at least one thread with interesting discussion. Shit, coming on here as a kid (metaphorically mods), is probably what piqued my interest in philosophy in the first place

No I havent, but watching You Cant Kill Meme led me to Packwood

The Century of The Self is about how advertisers learned in the early 20th century that you could manipulate people into buying shit by using psychology. One of the earliest examples being an advertising campaign aimed at women to get them to start smoking more by associating smoking cigarettes with being a stronk independant womyn. It worked and we've been dealing with the consequences ever since.

Watching it now
