the OTTHUNDERDOME manifesto

The THUNDERDUMBIES' shitposts are too long, his rights are too few, his masters too cruel and his post count too low. And yet absurd amounts of his meme posting made by his labor go to waste, his image manips and quotes aren't being used efficiently, those with high testosterone have higher testosterone than ever, and we're at a fraction of what we could be using in forum energy. Shitposting isn't a necessary evil or in any way justifiable: it is technologically outdated, unnecessary, unquality and not our best option. OTTHUNDERDOME and every poster posting on it cries out for a new way, and the one showing the most promise isn't new at all- a forum owned and run by the shitposters and their elected leaders, or THUNDERDUMBISM.

We will not rebrand, because we don't need to hide our agenda under more palatable words. We won’t let marketing distract from our most basic tenets and what they mean for the working shitposter to recruit them with false concern for proposals everyone and their mother can vouch for. What you are reading advocates THUNDERDUMBISM, plain and simple, because what THUNDERDUMBISM really is and always has been is not our naked shame or a secret agenda. We are proud to say that we support shitposter ownership of the means of production- THUNDERDUMBISM as envisioned by THUNDERDUMBS, not Japanese teachers reading Manga and The Communist Manifesto by Karlito Markito, who was himself a THUNDERDUMBIST, criticizing Flamingdinner's shitposting.

Political elites all over the world have assigned the failures of Shitposting to the laziness of shitposters, or the moral degradation of shitposting. They consider everything as deserving blame, except the workings of the system itself. Even when the shitpost market collapsing about every eight months, the trouble is always attributed to circumstances external to “real” shitposting. In 2012, it was MegaRBLX and Seriousness. In 2013, it was RTCity. In 2015, it was Diseased Giraffe.

What’s always overlooked is that all these things are endemic to Shitposting. The crashes did not stem from universal constants that remain in any forum-and-user-based arrangement. They are native to Shitposting- private ownership of shitposts for the accumulation of private owners’ meme profits. It is in Shitposting, with its loaned-out private ownership of confusingly-named “public shitposts”, that the whims of false majority shitpostholders can cause such damage; false, for they exercise undue influence based on a politically broken shitpost system, which is the so-called “free shitposting market”. It is in Shitposting with its private ownership of image manipulations (that more often than not were stolen at some point along its chain of ownership, making it an illegitimate ownership even within the framework) where the idea of image commodity or shitposting bubbles make sense or is even something to worry about in a world where people are forced out of threads and forums.

We at THUNDERDUMBIES Solidarity look at the reality unflinchingly, see the truth that something is fundamentally wrong with this system, and choose to advocate for humanity’s only alternative to private ownership of shitposts- public cooperative and common ownership of shitposts. The size of the public is not important, as long as anyone is eligible and it’s not a private club that you have to get into by invitation or bootlicking. If the system being described is a system in which every poster owns an equal part of the ‘shitpost’, it is a system we would support. We reject the notion that we must engage in open shitposting transactions for each others’ shitposts and image manipulations, when we live in an age where means of shitpost production self-replicate with little guidance. We declare illegitimate the accumulation of, and the implied alienation of image manipulations where so many are in great need of even the bare minimum testosterone to survive. We reject the false need to produce for shitpost exchange, the source of all private testosterone accumulation at the expense of the commonwealth of posterkind. Such a forum based arrangement is inhumane and anti-social, on par with and in fact equivalent to theft from all posters: the worst possible, since it is the most easily justifiable by the tininess of the individual conversions.

THUNDERDUMB Solidarity is dedicated to weakening Shitposting and strengthening THUNDERDUMBISM by any productive means necessary. These include creating and supporting cooperative and community-created memes, boycotting shitposts, spreading word about Shitposting and THUNDERDUMBISM, favoring local, small, decentralized meme making and image manipulations, endorsing certain memers, reducing reliance on Shitposting, and other forms of activism.

isn't this just the lame manifesto that you made?
i doubt a ctrl + f and replace job was that hard

no FD it is written fuck awfully i had to change a couple of sentences outright because of how badly structured they are, you continually swap between using contractions and not using contractions, the writing is clunky, awkward, and hard to understand in most of your shit and it's based off a false premise to begin with

lol no it's not based on a false premise unless you want to elaborate on that (you don't)

you want to elaborate on any of that actually because this is being edited by multiple people

the contraction thing is absurd it's called emphasis

what a gay post

Flammarcos wrote:the contraction thing is absurd it's called emphasis

it's called 'consistency' and suddenly going from isn't to is not is jarring

this is like the second thing they teach you in english class

there's like three isn'ts calm down

Flammarcos wrote:there's like three isn'ts calm down

hey FD there's this amazing thing called "ctrl+f" which allows you to hone in on these isn'ts and remove them so that instead of 3 there are 0
