Chat US: For True Americans Only, Vol. 2

George Cook31 said:Trying to understand the US through these threads is like reading articles on BuzzFeed, and actually getting involved in those debates is even more insane.
Maybe the chat is one thing, but the rest of this forum has become 🙂

I liked the old forum and some of the girls on there. I miss that. Mostly just the girls, I guess.
It’s probably no wonder that on days when I’m feeling better, busy with work, or heaven forbid, actually in a relationship, I completely forget about this place.

What did you guys even talk about on the old forum? An America without the constant jaw-dropping outrage, misogyny, and misandry would be boring. Every now and then, some troll would drop a fake story, everyone would jump on it, and that was that. At least, from what I saw.

Every once in a while, some troll would just drop a fake story, everyone would jump on the bandwagon, and that was basically the whole show. At least, that’s how it looked from where I was sitting.

The threads on the old PDF were pretty much dead, but the chat was always buzzing and the crew there was solid.
Every two or three days we'd move to a new chat, and you could find just about anything being talked about in there.
Nowadays, it seems like people just use the threads as a playground for bickering with each other, whereas back then, all that drama happened in the chat instead.

And honestly, nobody gives a damn about jawlines. 🤣

quietcrane63 said:I just logged off and checked out the US, and man, the forum feels boring as hell now. Honestly, looking back, I don't even think we need moderators anymore. Unless, of course, they decide to scrap the moderator roles for everyone else too.

I had a feeling this was coming eventually. I remember mentioning not too long ago that this whole utopia wouldn't last forever.
As for other American forums, I'm not really sure if there are any others left that feel more laid-back. Until yesterday, the US felt pretty chill.
Regarding the mods, who knows what's next. They recently handed them out to Wiki, Mickey, and Unz, but they were stripped away after only two weeks.
It felt like some kind of experiment to see if the US would be better off without them.
In my opinion, having any moderators just ends up cheapening the vibe of the forum.

George Cook31 said:I'm reading that Sisyphus guy over on PZK and honestly, I can't believe someone can post such absolute garbage. 😂
He doesn't even need a username or an avatar. You recognize him instantly just by his posts.

His main issue is that he has no clue how to talk like a normal person.
He sounds like some politically correct bot that won't stop spamming.

George Cook31 said:Reading the US is basically like reading articles on BuzzFeed, and trying to actually join those debates is even crazier.
Maybe the crew in chat is okay—chat is just chat—but the rest of the forum has become 🙂

I actually liked the old version of the forum and the girls who used to hang out here. I miss that. Mostly the girls, though.
It’s no wonder that when I'm having a good week, staying busy with work, or heaven forbid, actually in a relationship, I completely forget about the forum exists.

The US used to be cool because things were always happening and you could actually find a conversation going at any hour of the day.
But still, chat US is where I belong. It's like home; no matter where you go, you always find your way back to where you started.

I mean, you can't expect to pull off those super complex pieces without putting in the practice hours first.☕
I’ve reached a point where I can barely play anything anymore, but you know me well enough to realize my struggle isn't really about finger dexterity—it's mostly just a mental block at this stage.😉

I’ve reached a point where I can barely play anything anymore, but you know exactly what my issue is. It's more of a mental block than a finger problem.😉

Whatever, I'm not going to argue 🙂

quietcrane63 said:What was everyone arguing about on the old message board? An America without jawless debates, misogyny, or misandry is just plain boring. Every once in a while, some troll shows up with a fake story, everyone jumps on the bandwagon, and—well, that’s that. At least, that's how it looked from where I was sitting.

I mean, every single forum eventually gets ruined by overzealous moderation. The only subforums where I actually wrote anything meaningful were philosophy and football—basically. Other than those, I think I drifted through five different subforums just hanging out in the chats, and we always ended up getting kicked out of them. There was this one time a few of us migrated to some random forum dedicated to aliens, higher dimensions, crystals, and all that weird stuff, and we just started our own chat there, lmao.

Without those kinds of topics—and the users who push their own agendas—a forum loses its entire pulse. It’s inevitable that things get dull when the same core group basically shares the exact same "normie" opinion on everything, just recycling the same empty arguments. But then, man, that same crowd gets incredibly defensive whenever someone walks in with an "unacceptable" viewpoint, and they immediately band together against the newcomers, whining to the mods to deport those "forum immigrants" and ban them.

I've been working with:

Lat Nico Anderlon
Nicom

Alexander Adams94, you gotta pull some strings and get me a pardon 😁

hiddenmarlin14 said:look, I really don't want to start any drama 🙂

Honestly, I can't play a single note and my creative juices are basically non-existent right now.
I'm just gonna say whatever it takes to keep things chill at home.☕

wanderingheron9 said:I figured this was coming eventually. I mentioned recently that this whole utopia wasn't going to last.
As for American forums, I'm not sure if there are any others out there—any that are more liberal, you know? Up until yesterday, the US was pretty open.
Regarding sub-forums, who knows what’s next. They assigned them to Wiki, Mickey, and Unz recently, but they were gone after two weeks.
Maybe it was some kind of experiment to see if the platform would be better without them.
In my opinion, any sub-forum just ends up diluting the value of the main site.

Right.

Without those kinds of topics and users who push their own agendas, a sub-forum loses all its momentum. It's bound to get boring when the same small group mostly shares the exact same "normie" opinions on everything, just recycling empty talking points. The problem is, that crowd gets offended easily whenever people with "unacceptable" views show up, and they quickly band together against the newcomers, whining to the mods to deport those "forum immigrants."

I've noticed that on foreign forums, there's often actual freedom of speech. Insults, racism, swearing, misogyny, misandry—it's all tolerated, which keeps things tense and interesting. The only thing that isn't allowed is calls for genocide or ethnic cleansing. Looking at it from a distance, it's easy to see that it might actually be that small, sensitive group dragging down the quality of the forum, rather than us being punished with a sub-forum.

quietcrane63 said:I’ve been noticing that on those international forums, there seems to be this much wider sense of free speech, you know? Like, the insults, the racism, the swearing, the misogyny, the misandry—it all kind of gets tolerated, which I guess makes things feel way more intense and actually interesting to follow. The only thing they really won't stand for is calls for genocide or ethnic cleansing. Looking at it from a broader perspective, it could easily seem like it's just that tiny group of grumpy people dragging down the quality of the board, rather than us folks who were dealt a bad hand by the local economy.

I mean, I'm not really sure which forums you're hanging out on. On Reddit, the mods will ban you whenever they feel like it, and honestly, it's even harder to get back in there using an alt account.

quietcrane63 said:Right.

I've noticed that on American forums, there's often this much greater sense of free speech. Insults, racism, swearing, misogyny, misandry—it all seems to be tolerated, which honestly makes things feel way more intense and interesting. The only hard lines are calls for genocide or ethnic cleansing. Looking at it from a broader perspective, it’s easy to see how it might look like it's just a small group of grumpy people dragging down the quality of the forum, rather than us dealing with our own issues after getting hit by the recent economic downturn.

I don't know, I haven't spent a huge amount of time lurking on international forums. It probably feels more or less the same everywhere these days, with maybe a few exceptions—at least when you're talking about these big general interest boards.

quietcrane63 said:I've noticed that on most international forums, there’s this massive sense of absolute free speech. You get all kinds of stuff—insults, racism, swearing, misogyny, misandry—and people just let it fly, which honestly makes things way more intense and interesting to follow. The only real line you can't cross is calling for genocide or ethnic cleansing. If you look at this from a bird's-eye view, it’s easy to make it seem like it’s just that tiny, uptight clique ruining the vibe around here, rather than us folks who actually got hit with those property tax reassessments.

Morning, everyone! Hope you all slept well. 😁

George Cook31 said:I honestly have no idea what kind of forums you're hanging out on. On Reddit, those mods just ban you whenever they feel like it—and honestly, trying to come back with an alt account is even more of a headache over there.

I suspect you might find a bit more breathing room on some of those specialized redpill or blackpill boards—they tend to be a little more lenient.

Jesse Howard43 said:I honestly think you'd find much more liberal attitudes if you hung out on those niche redpill or blackpill forums instead.

Man, where is this all heading? At this rate, we’ll all be forced to move our conversations over to the dark web just to speak our minds.

wanderingheron9 said:It started out this way—at this rate, we’ll all be forced onto the dark web before long.

Twitter.

wanderingheron9 said:Alexander Adams94, get me that pardon 😁

If you can settle things with Nothanks.

Have you noticed how much Gojz seems to like you just because you're good-looking, even if she hates half of what you say? Remember how tisa used to act exactly the same way a few years back?

wanderingheron9 said:The way things are heading, we’re gonna end up having to migrate the whole operation to the dark web soon enough.

My deepest condolences... just out of pure solidarity, I went ahead and gave the entire US site a good old-fashioned slap.☕

EDIT: Honestly, these professional victims who drag everything to this point—you know the type, they show up every couple of years, scrub the PDFs of anything they deem "offensive" to their sensibilities—they really just deserve a hard ignore. Their actual contribution to the forum is basically zero; if anything, they’re actively draining ad revenue from the owner. The only click they ever generate on their own posts is when they turn into an actual entry, so that tells you everything you need to know about them.

Current state of affairs over at the US:

Have you noticed how much Gojz seems to like you just because she thinks you're good-looking, even though she hates about half of what you say? It actually reminds me of how tisa used to act in the exact same way a few years back.

Honestly, they agree with my views 100%, so we don't even really need to talk—we're totally on the same wavelength.

Richard Sanders7 said:We agree on everything, so there’s really no need to talk—we just get each other.

No, it's just that you aren't exactly her type, so why bother talking?

But we all know you're crazy about Hani. Most guys on this forum wouldn't dream of trying to break up a couple just to get a shot like you're aiming for with Hani. She’s gorgeous and interesting; anyone would be lucky to have her.

Alexander Adams94 said:Man, you're absolutely obsessed with Hani...

She talks a big game, but honestly, the second she senses even a hint of "danger" from someone she actually likes, she just bolts...
