Kind of a funny development.

You can thank RapeApe for that.
no, we have always been here
is that the others simply abandoned those places
I don't remember ever encountering christfags and socially conservatives in 2003-2009 though I was mostly on /a/ and /jp/. Now you find those even on those two boards by the dozen.
Because /pol/ single-handedly gentrified these places and the tipping point of all that bullshit was trying to colonize reddit and then getting out-colonized and filled with schizo boomers.
Because its technically counterculture and even underground. Back when these things were popular imageboards were chock full of smoke weed anti-Bush "fedora" atheists. It also reflects how things in general are more politicized.
1)Because they're not oldfags and western young people IRL are returning to their religions these years.
2)New Atheism movement failed, spawning the antifedora memes last bunch of years, becoming undesirable to identify as one.
3)An interest on traditionalist/perennialist authors like Evola and Guenon arose, spawning memes like "Retvrn to tradition". Vaporwave promoted these.
4)An increase on feminist and LGTB groups this decade caused a natural masive reaction against them.
5)God may be real and chose to make His moves both irl and on the net, sending "messengers" to nests of vice like 4channel, etc. Who knows, someone like moot or Hiroyuki could convert and be a new Paul.
People playing around, even if themselves don't notice that (like the poster above).
I may be or not playing around (I'm not), but my reasons above remain true even if I didn't mean to (I did).
>Because its technically counterculture and even underground.
Lol no, people who think that being a religious conservative is counter culture are delusional; maybe in certain cities being outspoken about that would be odd but those don't constitute the collective mindset of other cities and most suburban or rural communities which dominate countries like the US. The fact that Americans in particular think being conservative is somehow "counter culture" is mindboggling.

Regular conservatism/light reactionaryism no but the types of ideas popular with /pol/sters are definitely underground especially now that the Qtrump/pol/ stuff is unpopular with mainstream republicans now. Ditto for religious nuts who believe things that most popular churches (particularly the Catholics, which is ironic in this case) distance themselves from actively.
The only reason Americans think it is counter-culture despite being one of the furthest right countries (non-muslim) in the west, is because their media loves progressive ideas and popular social media is designed to show you things you disagree with so you use it longer to fight. The UK is the same way.
Do you think now with the internet being a cultural force, decades will now be extremely different or like they were in the past or it will be more gradual?
