/asatru/ - Asatru / Heathenry / Paganism

A bit of both I'd say, depending on what boards you're on, it could lean either way.

Chan culture is a modern rendition of the oral tradition that adapts itself easily to the native spirit of each population that adopts imageboards as a communication tool. Memes predate the internet by thousands and thousands of years; for example, what are "ᚨᛚᚢ" and the "stacked ᛏ" if not ancient Germanic memes?

The specific form of imageboard that we know certainly arose in the East, but we have given it our own traditions as well. This is essentially the same thing that we see with firearms, which we can be reasonably confident first arose in China, and yet the AR-15 is a decidedly Western weapon that reflects very little about its distant Eastern origins.

In the end, imageboards are little more than a medium. Most populations carved messages onto wood and stone at one point or another in their history, but the runic inscription culture is an expression of the Germanic spirit specifically. I see no reason that imageboards would not offer the same sort of opportunity for cultural expression.

no problem, I guess. for me, at most I'd go close to paleocon but discussion is good. also, feel free to return the favour to any pagans or would be ones by showing them this board

Chan culture arose out of jap text board culture, which itself arose out of Usenet culture.

Usenet culture evolved out of inter office communications between american sysadmins and comp sci faggots working in the military, universities and telecomm industry in the 1960s and 70s.

basically, Chan culture is the west reappropriating hippy-hacker culture from the japs who appropriated it from us to begin with.

>is it Jew, Aryan or oriental
well, computers in general were invented by a non-aryan (von Neumann, a Hungarian) and a faggot (Turing), and the 60s and 70s hacker culture was championed by a bunch of multi-culti pseudo communists like Richard stallman.

srsly bro, you've drank the koolaid too deep…you're literally asking if a manner of commo is white or not.

None of the above.

The easiest answer is that discussion is discussion and pretty much a universal amongst any developed culture at all levels of society - in Oxford, as in Athens and Beijing, you had intellectuals at the top rungs of society passive-aggressively debating each other about the great questions of life while at the same time a few blocks away, half-drunk laborers were telling jokes, getting into arguments over stupid shit and bragging about their sex lives.

Not much has changed in these regards, and likely never will; it's just faster and looser than before due to the internet bringing people with similar interests together from all over the world and giving everyone the same mask to hide behind should they so choose.

Yeah, /Pol/ is even censoring Odinic posters sometimes, particularly if they make the Christfags buttmad.

>It's kind of irritating.

And I think the usage of the Chans today is definitely pretty White. The level of free speech possible here is pretty asinine, and never would have been possible without the internet (also a very White concept).

>Sieg Heil Channing!
