I use /pol/ as a friendship simulator not going to lie.
Been thinking about this for a couple of years now. Modernity promises me a cocoon of vidya, warm cuddlies, cummies, calories, and a stable job so long as I submit on every level. You guys promise me pain, existential anguish, a possibility of the loss of all comfort, the loss of my job, and the vaguest, most distant simulacrum of friendship. Of course I will choose you.
Could modernity change tactics and lure me with friendship? Possibly, but the more I think about it, the more impossible a task that sounds. That would mean that I hang around with other white men in private. That would be an unacceptable risk to the system.
Dear God. If we ever figure out how to market the genuine promise of meaningful friendship to the masses of deracinated, atomised white man.

As you age you give fewer fucks about being around other people. It starts when you enter 'the real world' when you're done with school (whether it's high school or college or whatever). Same with the military. When you have Uncle Sam's green weenie looming in the background you are more apt to find common ground with people you would never associate with in the civilian world - and you probably will eventually drift apart once you separate. That's just life. Adult life is you and your wife/girlfriend/kids/dog/gimp/right hand/whatever with 'some people you know' and 'some people you're related to' sprinkled in. Then you die. The end.
This is why the National Socialists talked of a Volksgemeinschaft. Technological progress changes societies for the worse, unless a conscious effort is put in to counter-act those negative side-effects. One of these side-effects has been social isolation.
