    I’ve scrolled through 4chan a couple times to find greentext but all I found was racist stuff. I’m wondering if they actually think like that or if it’s just a funny racist persona they’re trying to give off.

      it started as a farce, but those who actually thought that way didn’t understand it was a joke on them, and soon it was just people who unironically believed this way. If you act like something stupid, even in a manner to make fun of them, you will attract them. If you don’t cut that shit out like a malignant tumor, it won’t be long until that tumor takes over.

        There’s also an element of if you keep acting a certain way it starts to infect how you think as seen above. Some of those people essentially trained themselves to be massive racists

          oh yes def true. I have watched people I know have memes, jokes, etc on 4chan and other online spaces slowly twist them into racist right wingers over the course of 5ish years

          a couple have since been deprogramming, but a couple are like flat-earther level lost
