    Remember:

    “4chan is where actually intelligent people pretend to be stupid morons, and Reddit is where actually stupid morons pretend to be intelligent.”

      The only people that believe that crap are 4channers dumb enough to believe that being an amoral asshole makes you smart. The reddit thing is true though.

        For a while I was living in a student dorm in a student area. I was taking a walk when I saw one of those:

        A piece of white A4 paper glued to a road sign. The piece of paper says "Islam was right about women" in big black text

        Not that particular piece of paper but one with the same text. Took me 2 minutes of googling to trace it back to /pol/.

        I’m an atheist and ex Muslim, Islam ruined a large portion of my life… but I took that paper down anyway. Random person had the right to hang it on the street and I had the right to crumble and recycle it.

        The statement itself wasn’t the triggering part… The triggering part was 4chaners think they are smart or making some kind of “point” with a quipy and short sentence… hanging out behind a screen trying to affect the real world outside even though they often claim not to be social or get any sun at all. At least that sad 4channer got to take a walk to hang this up. It was confusing more than offensive, had to read it a few times to even get it lololol

          Eh, it’s illegal to post such things in many areas, so best case, you’re helping enforce the law, and worst case, you’re cleaning up the neighborhood.
