Is this the point of no return? As much of dirty fucking kikes as civilian contractors are, they're basically the glue holding together the mockery of a US military at this point/the reason a shit ton of Americans are employed since they use contractors to hide the real percentage of US Adults who rely on the government for employment- basically every fucking manufacturing company at this point has a hand in some US military contract as either the contractor or subcontractor at this point. I can't decide if this is a good or bad thing as it could either mean (((they're))) winning in the background or that shit will hit the fan quick and hard.
Thing is, thanks to POGs that brought the sensitivity training with them, this is already the case since 0bama. At the real combat zones, morale patches featuring nudity, porn, drugs, gore, politics, racism (including WN) and religious insults () are plenty. The only time anyone cares is a situation like this one, when someone on the homefront complains due to some video picture, or the cases when god forbid a female takes residence. Its no secret that the DOD wants to give the illusion that it is being vigilant in creating a "diverse accepting space", because of the publicity of high sexual assaults statistics. Remember, when the cameras turn on, the patches must come off, otherwise they will parade you as an example.
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.
Damn those terrorists from ebaumsworld Virtual conference calls! That menace needs to be stopped

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?
Kayden Flores
Wear stupid patches, win stupid prizes. Sage because only tangentially Zig Forums related.
Gavin Campbell
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.
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.
Logan Gutierrez
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.
Jason Diaz
To wear it at all. Kekistanifags are pure autism
Eli Kelly
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.
Grayson Gonzalez
what a shame. should have just went full nazi

Someone should tell nu/pol/ to not enter in professions made for men
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.
Ryan Murphy
Seems like the SA mercs are the only competent people there.
Owen Ortiz
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.
Ayden Hill
Elucidate, because from my point of view 4chan says in the very first sentence of the frontpage that it's a Bulletin Board, and all high-traffic boards are low-thought shitfests that have no characteristics to separate them from a chat BBS or IRC ever since auto-update was added. I figured at this rate 8ch would get to a low-point where Huffington Post authors have a better grasp on imageboards than the userbase, or just as worse, that even people on Zig Forums would emulate the "barrel shroud" types by going off and being smug about shit without giving it thought and research (inb4 one of the above fags echos the "Zig Forums has always been that way" joke thinking it excuses their trash post while making them oh-so-in with the hip crowd). I can't wait for some new super-hip medium to come along and sweep you faggots off this not-a-chatroom.
It’s also just cringy as fuck to use memes irl. I hear fags talk about memes at school and it’s cringy. I have thousands of memes and reaction images but I don’t go around wearing a flag based on a ms paint drawing even if I like that ms paint drawing.
Oh you’re right, I forgot we called this board the weapons chat room, and not the weapons board, and that the entire site is obviously a messaging/chat format. As a fellow room temp IQ, brown, gook, I am also too much of a nigger to look up said distinctions before I post.
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.
Charles Perry

Owen Nelson
Pick one and only one.
Zachary Jenkins
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.
Aaron Carter
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.
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.
Have I spelled it out well enough for you now?
Chase Torres
No, I'm pretty sure everyone there is incompetent. I would honest to goodness go postal if I saw this level of unprofessionalism everywhere.
Christopher Brown
Jesus Christ, guys, how are us Aussie shitposters meant to keep up when you're going at it this hard?
Ethan Parker
It's not shitposting so much as it's some newfags that are either incapable of properly quoting, saging or both, you included, firm in their belief that they're somehow part of the "cool new counterculture" crowd by being wrongly, but confidently, self-superior over a news article "just like that epic CNN anonymous story!" and refusing to do anything but dig their heels in and try on that threadbare coat of "imageboard insults like in those screencaps" rather than doing 10 seconds of research and 2 seconds of consideration to see that they are definitively wrong. Imageboards are not inherently chat rooms– 4chan is but the good ones usually aren't– but Zig Forums has become a chat room, and an incredibly poor one, because of you stupid faggots that have encroached on every board here and insists on skipping the discussion and going straight to the tired molds of what you imagine "true chan culture" to be. Even your post is a tired, soulless joke that would have been hated by now if it wasn't for this eternal recycle mindset. 4chan turned shit because of you, Zig Forums turned shit because of you, this board turned shit because of you and I cannot wait for the next hip medium to come along in a few years and sweep the rest of you away so we can go back to the comfy days.
Jesus christ I don't want any part in this discussion anymore.
Isaiah Jackson
No, it was some cuckchan Zig Forumsack's plan to occupy some island and establish a white's only colony. Then that anglo tranny fucker co-oped it to flog merchandise.
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.
Jeremiah Green
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?
Oliver Walker
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.
Luis Gomez
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?
Nicholas Collins
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.
Julian Richardson
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.
Jayden Turner
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.
I've addressed this already, specifically , and it's why I was careful to specify that Zig Forums has become a "bad" chatroom, rather than saying that Zig Forums 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, Zig Forums 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.
