Lord of flies summer (and it's relevance to forum culture.)
**If you read this or anything I have said so far that is a self report and you don't see I am writing about us as a group and a cultural, get over yourself being an egostical weirdo doesn't help you or us**
(Or at least English speaking westerns)
A bunch of british schoolboys (mostly little shits and a few older ones((the similarities start strong and end strong)) crash land on a deserted tropical island.
No adults, no rules, no pussy, no cops, no teachers, no be a good boy and society will reward you bullshit, the mmm good boy points are no where to be found in such a world.
Pure testosterone + zero supervision experiment.
At first it's kino, they elect a decent looking, somewhat based kid named Ralph as chief because he can blow a conch shell and looks like he might keep shit together.
Piggy (the fat, asthmatic, glasses-wearing nerd who sounds exactly like every blackpilled forum poster) tries to be the voice of reason with his muh rules, muh civilization, muh signal fire.
Jack (the charismatic, jacked-up choir boy chad) is like fuck that, I wanna hunt pigs and be a badass.
Things go downhill fast.
The signal fire dies because normies would rather jack off, play, or simp for the fun leader.
Fear of a beast (which is just their own projected darkness + a dead parachutist) takes over.
Jack splits off and makes his own tribe: paint your face, hunt pigs, do war dances, roast meat, act like a pack of feral hyenas.
They kill a sow and ram a stick up its cunt in some weird ritual sacrifice because why the fuck not.
The real blackpill moment: they murder Simon (the quiet mystic kid who actually figured out the "beast" is inside them) during a frenzied pig hunting dance.
Then they hunt Ralph. They kill Piggy by smashing his head with a rock and shattering the last of civilization.
The island burns.
Navy guys (mods ((the two hard working men here that try to keep things in line)) and the real wraith of tabula yet to come) finally show up and Ralph cries because he realizes what little savages they all became without the thin blue line and soccer moms keeping the lid on.
The incel/NEET forum translation:
It's what happens when a bunch of boys/men are removed from female validation, societal expectations, and consequences.
No more "be nice, get gf, get job, be productive." The mask slips. The strongest/aggressive ones (Jacks archetypes ) take over with dominance, rituals, and violence.
The civilized try hards (Ralphs) get ignored or hunted. The nerds (Piggys) get bullied and killed first because they're weak and remind everyone of the old rules.
The quiet blackpilled observers (Simons) get trampled in the mob frenzy.
Without external structure, humans (especially young males) default to tribal savagery, status hierarchies based on raw power/charisma, and bloodlust. The lord of the flies is literally Beelzebub, the devil, meaning the evil was already inside them.
Golding was saying civilization is a thin fucking crust over our ape brains.
Why I am calling this a boys club akin to lord of the flies forum is I'm trying to be self aware that this all male, no rules, anonymous online space turned into exactly that: a feral island.
No enforce politeness.
Anonymous = no real consequences.
Bunch of frustrated, low status males with nothing better to do.
So it becomes tribal raids on other forums, ritualistic bullying of outsiders or "Piggys," doomer blackpill spirals, edgy humor that gets darker and darker, weird in group memes and hierarchies based on who can be the most ruthless or funny degenerate.
The "signal fire" (any attempt at productive discussion or self-improvement) keeps dying while the hunt for dopamine (owning libs, ratioing normies, cooming to doomer memes, schizoposting((we are all guilty of it)) takes over.
If you don't understand this thread that's fine you can't always understand something till it's over but every message and every barb and dig is an echo to this message that few seems to understand.
This isn't the space you think it is.
Me calling it lord of the glies boys club is half ironic brag and slight
A half admission, yeah we're a pack of savages who would probably murder Piggy in real life too. Welcome to the island, newfag. Paint your face or get the conch smashed.
It's the same reason some edgy discords or imageboards embrace the comparison(I don't think that the goal or want but many people are trying to take the wheel and this place is meant to be neutral ground((the whole in the wall bar you come to after work before work after meetings between time you have to be free, and it has its regular and it has its bar flies that never leave but what it shouldn't have is a constant string or 0 self reflection insight))
I see the descent into chaos as more honest than fake civilized society.
For those that haven't the book it's not basically the ultimate blackpill on human nature when the lights go out and the thots are gone but it sure is a look at what it could be...
Infact that would be a great addition to the book club.
