>The "weird" warning was unrelated.
I was curious about that tbh because the post is gone
>>23689 and several hundred posts are also gone around that post number. Was wondering about the nature of that energetic turbulence. But it's not that important.
>Almost wanted to keep it, but the subject was already iffy anyway
Yeah. The thread was made to help Thor's hammer's issue. Wanted to explain it in detail why he suffers from that hatred, but I will have to think through how to explain it. The TLDR is that after USA got hit by 911 they weaponized and sent the entire populace into a pro-war frenzy against arabs and terrorists, so the populace would support the war no matter what and enlist. Then as the refugee crisis hit and arabs flooded the west they had to tone down the anti arab mentality because arabs suddenly became tax paying citizens and voters (especially for leftists). Then tarant and the other shit happened and they suddenly started to call white people terrorists while arabs kept committing terrorism either as a staged fear mongering so they can keep doing the whole middle east war going, or by genuine hatred because their entire country was bombed 24/7. You will never know which was staged because these terrorists were always conditioned and had no idea what they were doing most of the time...
Because of this the mass energy of fear, hate and violence was not aimed at an actual perceivable target. Retards who don't understand the psyche of the populace won't see this... but this way some people will get overtaken by massive amount of hatred that trickles down into the mind of unfortunate individuals. The more time they spend on fearmongering media the worse it gets. Being scared of terrorists and calling your own population as terrorists because they don't agree with your views is not healthy. Most people are unable to handle this stress. That is why we have a mental health crisis and most people don't want to breed at all. While arabs breed like rabbits even when they are bombed daily... visible threats are almost better for the psyche than invisible ones... it's ridiculous.
and this is only about the war narrative, gang violence and the failings of the justice system on the west is a completely different topic altogether, especially if we try to take into account how the media warps the verdicts of the supposedly "Objective oriented and law enforcing" justice system. The way double standards work there is ridiculous.
Just mentioned this because while trying to figure out the issues of USA Anons I had to realize what level of "Narrative war" is in their head and how I have hard time relating and understanding it as an eastern European. We were oppressed by the soviets and now by NATO. Both of them called themselves freedom fighters and their ideology was the "best" according to them. We learned how to deal with them. Both systems were full with cronies who were too high from their own farts.
But most of you didn't go through anything like this. Most USA posters fall into 2 main categories: The first are the "not my problem" kind of people. They are usually chill and level headed. They have their own life and they usually focus on their own life and their own interests. Sometimes they are a little selfish, but more stable in the end. The other category are the narrative trapped hysterical and mentally unstable crowd. Sadly the hysterical crowd is the one responsible for shaping political opinion and they are short circuiting their own supporters on a daily basis.
The USA forgot how to build narratives. The narratives change daily. Those who are trapped in the narrative of yesterday are deemed as the enemies of the state the next day. Only complete NPCs can go with the narrative flow and even their mind gets worn down in the process.
And yes btw. This was a "TLDR". There are more nuance to this. This was more of a rant instead a proper analysis.
>My stance on thread deletion has since changed, however. Might make it a hard rule that you have to consult with me before deleting a thread that others have contributed to.
You can always restore them right? On 8chanmoe you can even moderate your own thread if you have an account. Tho I never bothered to make an account. I don't have time to moderate. I trust the judgement of the moderators here. That is why I bother posting here. Obviously I too want proper threads to stay, but as I said. The energy was in the air. Noticed a year+ ago that no one wants to make a thread here because they fear "no one would like it" or "what if the mean wizards laugh at me" or "I am too much of a neophyte to make a thread" and whatnot. Truth is when I "make a thread" ; I cut through a chunk of stagnating energy and divine how to word the OP, so the readers can understand wtf am I trying to explain. Tried to improve the energy of the board a year ago, so other contributors might feel more jolly contributing... but I realized I don't have enough time to micromanage the energies here, so I stopped doing that long ago and wanted to figure out how to reach a new state in a more "natural way".
Had to review the energetic history of fringe. How it "peaked" between 2016-18 because we had a large influx of people thanks to gamergate and we had a large amount of initiates and eager neophytes because the core posters of fringe were doing IIH and Robert Bruce for years, knew how to astral project or lucid dream. We had enough people who bothered to make tutorials for newbs. Back then /fringe/ was a wizard central for those who were bothered by the mundane retardation of /x/. It was thanks to the fact that we had green pillers and dedicated wizards too.
I remember when almost every prominent tripfag from /x/ was using fringe. It made smiley so mad that he banned the trip function for a while to turn fringe back to it's anonymous wizard roots. It was kinda funny.
We could do common "meme magic" and astral meeting projects too because we had enough people with the skill already.
Ofc "karma" was looming in the distance. Thanks to the cancer the previous 8chan had and the fact that smiley was going insane and he was ranting on way too many imageboards... he drawn in the haters to this board. They attacked /fringe/ so they can "own" smiley... Smiley was posting less and less on /fringe/ while alt-fringe boards and other discord, skype, IRC and whatnot groups formed so the "proper wizards" can talk about magic on their preferred level which let the "main fringe" become infested with retards. That is when /fringe/ completely splintered/atomized into irrelevance.
Currently this "complete irrelevance" energy is being worn down. /fringe/ will be "irrelevant" for mundanes and retards, but it must stay relevant and informative for those who want to improve and become wizards. This is how it was back then, before the 8chankun days. /fringe/ had it's spark. Current fringe regained it's spark, but it's still a little dull, because we don't have enough engaging wizards and most neophytes don't understand the need of serious practice. In old fringe the "WHICH PART OF IIH YOU ARE AT" was always asked when someone asked something utterly retarded which becomes clear if you bother following IIH at least. The peer pressure worked back then.
So what I am trying to say here... the thread deletions are more of an emotional turmoil instead of something deliberate and thought out. Unsure if a rule needs to be made for this. But yes, core threads aka important threads
>>7224 shouldn't be deleted mindlessly. But (You) can always restore them. /fringe/ and their offshoots always died when the moderator went MIA. Truth is I care about the resolve of the moderator as much as I care about this board. I liked how smiley respected /fringe/ to be fringe and wanted to keep drama and everything else separately. Shame he couldn't handle the insanity to keep doing it. Mental health is paramount in magic. Even if we are a bunch or retarded schizos for the average tourist... we must never succumb to retardation and schizophrenia if we want to make something of ourselves. The dark night of the soul is a necessary step... but some people build their "wizard persona" around their insanity. Those who cannot overcome the dark night of the soul are not meant for magic. Only the naive thinks that "one day the shadows will go away". No. You just learn how to deal with the shadows once and for all. They either learn praying properly or develop their own psychic self defense on their own. And those who have enough free time should always try doing group meditation practice, tai chi, yoga or the like to familiarize themselves with the basic. Not everyone has the awareness and the necessary mental fortitude to self initiate.
