That doesn’t even look like a real patch or even a sticker. More like something badly shooped .

Unless it’s a pin but who pins stuff on a helmet, it just gets caught on everything and will eventually be ripped off.

More of the same. Trump fired one of the last people who actually was right wing because the SPLC said so. Even when the alleged right is in charge, they still worship at the altar of the left's moral hierarchy. Remember also the coast guard guy who got gulagged for doing le meme okay sign.

If he had any balls he would sue them for wrongful dismissal. Considering he has a fucking kekistan patch, I doubt there are any balls involved.

What determines what country's laws a PMC falls under? The fact that I know nothing about how they operate keeps me from guessing. Do they, you know, have to be registered somehow? I'd think so. But what stops a contractor from registering in, say, Somalia?

Wear stupid patches, win stupid prizes.

Sage because only tangentially /k/ related.

>>611212

This 100%. It's common to see SS flags, Afrika Korps emblem with "US" or the "EGA" in place of the swastika, and moral patches running the gambit from lite humor to dark sardonic cynicism.

>>611227

Yeah, great idea. He was fired because DoD wanted him gone. DoD told MAG to get him out of country, MAG isn't going to risk loosing a contract by ignoring the DoD, this guy can't meet his contractual obligations so they shitcan him, a rather clear-cut case that if he contests will only waste his time and money, both the DoD and MAG have armies of lawyers and a litany of policy they can point to.

>>611241

PMCs commonly "flag" under countries they have no business in to avoid regulation. Executive Outcomes was registered in the UK despite being South African, and the successor to Executive Outcomes is considered a company of Gibraltar. There are also a couple more that re-registered in Hong Kong to avoid US regulation a few decades ago, but I can't find the names; I think they were aviation service companies. Companies that work for a major power like the US or Russia are going to be based out of that country.

You've got to be really autistic to wear that shit out in public. Honestly, they got rid of a liability. Guy lacks judgement.

>>611322

To wear it at all. Kekistanifags are pure autism

>>611325

Honestly, if he was an actual white supremacist, he wouldn't wear that shit. Kuckistan started as a way to piss off lefties and the right, by a guy who hates the alt-right, which isn't even all opposed to Jews. Regardless, guy is a dipshit. It's like putting a pedobear sticker on your car back in 2008.

Bro, the racism would be the least of my worries based on the descriptions there, even if I was the niggiest nigger to ever nig. What the actual fuck. I really can't believe someone could be that incompetent.

>>611341

Seems like the SA mercs are the only competent people there.

No, it's an imageboard. I know it's hard to tell the difference when you can't physically open your eyes all the way, but try and keep up.

>have no characteristics to separate them from a chat BBS or IRC

Jesus christ if 4chan has no characteristics that separate it from IRC or BBS then everything that facilitates communication online is pretty much a chat room you idiot.

>and all high-traffic boards are low-thought shitfests that have no characteristics to separate them from a chat BBS or IRC

As a fellow sub 0 IQ, Turk, I also realize that the distinction between two communication mediums is the quality of posts and not technical or based on the format.

>>611376

Again, explain how the format is different in any way from a conventional chat room, assuming you aren't exactly 18 and never used any chat room with discussions deeper than "show me your cock". It's a board– a bulletin board– a public forum for real time discussion. Give me a characteristic that sets 4/v/ apart from a honeypot (besides anonymity, because identity is not a requirement of a chatroom.) Furthermore, can you reasonably say that imageboard software like meguca is not a chatroom? Alternatively, if you don't want to explicitly admit you started using the internet with Youtube and Facebook, continue to just call me stupid because I pointed out that a Huffpo writer knows more about 4chan than you.

>>611377

4chan and IRC as chatrooms are distinct from other mediums by activity of post, where a conversation is held in near-real-time as opposed to a mailing list, conventional forum, booru, or any other form of communication that usually has a longer period of time between replies; I might say over 8 hours between replies, but as far as I know there's no set time.

>kekistan was started by Sargon

No, it was some cuckchan /pol/ack's plan to occupy some island and establish a white's only colony. Then that anglo tranny fucker co-oped it to flog merchandise.

>>611512

Shitposting has always been an aspect, obviously, you know that and you know that I know that, you're just deliberately misrepresenting me because you don't want to face the fact that this imageboard is a dead shell of its former self, and posters like the two originally quoted are to blame. Really, think about, your post fits in with modern 8ch, but what does it add? It's intentional hyperbole, and the only argument is the last "sentence" which is in bad faith and ignores the arguments I've made in response to the other content-less posts calling me a dumbass for party pooping without making any attempt to say why I'm wrong. Try just once to post naturally without feeling the need to structure everything in the same boring "correct" way of abusing quotes. If you have an argument, make it in plain terms. This entire site has become identical to Facebook in being filled with boring automatons that just play social Simon Says.

>>611517

>Try just once to post naturally without feeling the need to structure everything in the same boring "correct" way of abusing quotes.

You should have worded it like that in the first place because, reading that I just fucking realized what you’re saying. I do structure every post on 8ch differently, but it’s subconscious now because after years of posting like that it’s automatic when I come here. When I first went to cuckchan I rarely posted because when I did I was called out as the newfag that I was. I don’t think there is anything wrong with having a certain style of posting to keep the culture and keep out newfags, but I just realized that many anons (me included) are fast to point out when someone doesn’t post in the same style and brand him as a newfag and then just disregard their post. I don’t think there is anything wrong with lurking for a period before posting but on an anonymous board I don’t think it’s really possible to keep culture without creating a mould, and the alternative I think is 4chan (ie: a shithole). What is a good mix of keeping out newfags and making them intergrate and not sperging our everytime someone says something that isn’t formatted like every other post?

>>611432

Quality of discussion has nothing to do with the mechanics of a site. Go have your spergout somewhere else autist, flailing and crying and calling the entire board newfags does not make you right.

Hey grandpa, are you complaining to people on the internet about the military again? Funny how you never joined, isn't it time to take your happy pills?

>Cringy memes

Making your own patch or insignia with your own creation doesn't seem cringy to me, and in the past a ton of soldiers have made their own "memes" for insignia, on rockets and vehicles. Though I do admit using a popular chan meme would be fucking cringy, doubly so if the guys recognize it but don't say anything and you get singled out as an autist.

>>611522

The best way to improve quality of discussion is not to point out it is wrong, but either point out how its wrong or better yet do something about it and make your own quality of discussion match your expectations.

>>611520

When it comes to posting style, newfags and crossboarders can never be identified by what they don't do, only by what they do, and even then most boards have post styles that can be figured out in a single thread. It's really not hard to figure out how to abuse quotes and (((parentheses))). When I say "what they do", I would make examples of Gaiaposting on /a/ or trying to greentext on /jp/. Newfags are best found by their use of outside post styles, misuse of site features– inappropriate use of sage (as seen in half of this thread,) not understanding board niches, namefagging, direct embedding of YT, etc– and not understanding basic in-jokes (Correcting somebody calling a Galil a FAMAS). I'd imagine most people have an idea where they think it's safest to avoid being called a newfag by imitating the accuser, leading to a board culture where everybody just echos the same series of call-and-responses that they've seen reveal newfags before. There's no such thing as a single person creating board culture for better or worse, but I'd say it's best for a board to treat itself as a society rather than a ballroom dance focused on social faux-pas over being social.

tl;dr You don't spot foreigners with a secret handshake, you spot them by talking about the Chicago Bears and looking for the guy that replies by saying he loves the zoo.

>>611522

I've addressed this already, specifically >>611424 , and it's why I was careful to specify that 8chan has become a "bad" chatroom, rather than saying that 8chan is a chatroom because it is bad. I will admit that I overstepped slightly by taking the top 25 and lumping the rest of the site in with it. In fact, /k/ has been shrinking by about 30% annually since mid-2015, so it's a good chance that I'll be flat wrong this time next year. As for behavior, I just corrected two streloks and called them newfags, not the entire board. I feel I've defended my points fairly well, the replies have been the ones assuming that shrieking and flailing makes them right.
