    XVIII. The Political QBN
    19. The political transformation

    This needs a distinction.

    Some of the biggest threads in modern QBN are not “funny iconic moments.” They're enormous political and cultural arguments.

    For example, the War thread reached at least 627 responses.

    Likewise, there are enormous threads on:

    Donald Trump
    the Intellectual Dark Web
    COVID
    AI
    NFTs
    war
    Israel/Palestine
    Elon Musk

    These are historically significant because they show how QBN changed.

    The 2024 State of QBN thread contains a particularly revealing complaint: one member wanted QBN to return to design discussions such as Univers vs Helvetica and whether David Carson was really a genius, rather than the endless political arguments.

    That's not just a complaint.

    It's the Old QBN/New QBN dividing line.

    • QBN has always been mostly nonsense. Look how old _Randomize Me is and how useless it's been. That's just one example of hundreds.CyBrainX
