Fortnite is a survival co-op video game developed by Epic Games and People Can Fly for macOS, Windows, Xbox, and Playstation 4. It is described by Epic Games as a cross between Minecraft and Left 4 Dead.
Fortnite was first introduced at the Spike Video Game Awards in 2011.[1] In July of 2012, Epic announced at San Diego Comic Con that the game would be PC-exclusive and it would be the first game developed using the Unreal 4 Engine, with a release date planned for 2013. Developmental challenges and changing of the game’s scope pushed the release date back indefinitely. In May of 2014, Game Informer reported that the game would be free to play. A functioning prototype was completed that year, but Epic estimated it would take about three more years to work out the game’s various kinks. The game was previewed in Alpha in late 2017, and in Beta in mid-2015. In July of 2017, Epic announced the game would be set for a 2018 release on macOS, Windows, Xbox, and Playstation 4. On July 25th, 2017, they released an early-access version of the game.
On September 26th, following the success of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, a Battle Royale version of Fortnite was released in early access. Fortnite Battle Royale was given a standalone release one could play without having the base game.
In Fortnite, 98% of the world has been destroyed by storms and the world is overrun by zombie-like creatures. The survivors construct storm shields and gather goods in an effort to find more allies and bring the world back to its natural state.
The game has a thriving fan community online, with over 54,000 subscribers to /r/fortnite[2] and 63,000 subscribers on /r/FortNiteBR.[3]Tumblr has over dozens of pieces of fan art created for the game,[4] as well as 210 pieces under the “fortnite” tag on DeviantArt.

KARA BOĞA (BLACKBULL in Turkish), is an anti-white movement originated from Turkish posters on 4chan. It’s about Black superiority and white infer
h2. Origins 
First /int/ post mentioning KARA BOĞA, From an Anonymous Turkish poster.
KARA BOĞA is originated from Turkish shitposters on 4chan’s /pol/. Around June-July 2017, Turkish shitposters created several anti-white, pro-black or pro-muslim threads on /pol/. These threads received an extravagant amount of butthurt from the white and American users of /pol/. That these threads usually gets +400 posts unless the moderato(s) delete it. On these threads Turkish posters usually preach the Black supremacy and call muscular Black men as Black Bulls ( Bull = cuckold term for the person who fucks the cuckold’s wife/gf). These events was eventually led to the birth of KARA BOĞA.

The BLACK man is the epitome of male dominance and masculinity.
_Let’s start by looking at his body. His body is large. His domineering size makes his presence known without him even needing to point himself out. He is muscular, as a result of his high levels of testosterone. This gives him the appearance of health and strength. He is then covered by his dark skin. This dark skin reminds us of his ruggedness, a feature that developed due to being exposed to the scorching sun of africa, made to withstand such an extreme condition. It also has a psychological effect on the observer. The dark skin reminds us of our dark, deep desires that emerge from our primal subconscious past.
The BLACK man’s demeanor is one of alphaness. He is dominant, assertive, and can be explosively aggressive. His behaviour strikes fear into the more timid, cowardly races of man(ʷʰ*ᵀᵉ dogs)
The summit of expression of his masculinity on his body is his penis. The BLACK penis is largest of all the races. As the penis is the penultimate symbol of manhood, this alone would suffice to make the BLACK man the most masculine of men. This large penis is able fulfill the desire of the neediest of women, being able to more than fill all the recesses of the vagina. Its length ensures that when it ejaculates, the potent african seed will immediately enter the womb of the woman the BLACK man impregnates.
In total, the BLACK man expresses this masculinity in a most exemplary manner in bed. When he fucks, he unleashes the entirety of his lusts and desires upon his partner without any restraint.
All this is the reason why the BLACK man is the epitome of masculinity._

_wh*Te subhumans , how does this make you feel?
You could have a completely homogenous community of middle class wh*Tes. A nice town with almost no crime, an all round good community. However because of the weakness of the wh*Tes all it would take to destroy this community is one BLACK bull?
Just imagine, it’s a nice sunny Sunday afternoon, imagine the bustle of this 100% wh*Te town until suddenly a couple of BLACK bulls walk up. Women would feel more attraction to these superior, strong bulls infinitely more than their pathetic wh*Te husbands. Every woman would be begging, grovelling to be impregnated by these overlords, the new kings of the town who earned this position with nothing but their superior presence. And these bulls wouldn’t stop until every girl was carrying their children, the wh*Te women’s original children would probably be neglected. Who the fuck would want to raise these inferior children? They are only going to turn out like their fathers.
The Men? The men would flee after realizing how futile their attempts at winning back their wives attraction would be. They would flee to Japan where they will try to win over FAS looking ugly Jap girls because they are the only things disgusting and lonely enough to accept them. Many would probably be rejected after the Japs hear of their shameful and dishonorable display, even they probably would have killed themselves to avoid the shame.
Back home in the once nice town, every woman will be raising their BLACK children and will be queuing up for their second or maybe even third pregnancy. They wont stop until they hit menopause, because they know deep down that their purpose is to populate the world with superior BLACK bulls who will then move on to destroy other towns. This is REAL colonization. You can’t take over a place without winning the attraction or respect of the people, that method will always collapse_
Communism is a political movement striving to create a moneyless, classless, and stateless society known as a communist society or full communism[1]. Communism as it’s used today was described by Karl Marx and Frederich Engels in 1848 as written in the Communist Manifesto[2]. Communists that follow the ideas of Marx and Engels are known as Marxists. Many communist leaders have been credited for contributing their own ideas and theory to communism, most notably the revolutionaries Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong. Marxism-Leninism was codified by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, and is the primary political ideology employed by countries such as China and Cuba. Marxism-Leninism was also employed by many countries during the Cold War, such as the Soviet Union and East Germany.
The term “communism” has been in use since the late 18th century. However, the modern interpretation of it was developed by Karl Marx and Frederich Engels when they wrote the Communist Manifesto. In 1917, the Bolsheviks initiated the October Revolution in the former Russian Empire, forming the Russian Soviet Federalist Socialist Republic, the first socialist state. This later evolved into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (known as the USSR or Soviet Union), lead by Bolshevik revolutionary Vladimir Lenin. After Lenin’s death, Joseph Stalin rose to power and industrialized the economy. A famine known as the Holodomor broke out in the Soviet Union 1932, which claimed millions of lives, the specific number still highly disputed today. The Soviets were later involved in World War 2, after which rising to be one of two global superpowers alongside the United States.
The People’s Republic of China was formed in 1949, lead by Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong employed Marxism-Leninism while attributing his own theory in an effort to better apply it to China’s unique characteristics. His attributions were later codified into Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, or more broadly Mao Zedong Thought. While China today is still nominally Marxist-Leninist, whether or not it is in fact a socialist state is highly disputed.
Contemporary countries described as communist include China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, and Venezuela.
Communism as a movement has been criticized since its inception. Common modern arguments against communism involve the living conditions and decline of 20th century socialist states, as well as modern examples such as North Korea and Venezuela. The Holodomor of the USSR and Great Leap Forward of China are often cited, which collectively claimed tens of millions of lives. However, proponents of Communism claim that this is not the fault of Communism itself, rather mismanagement, poor luck, or Western intervention.
As communism is one of the most hotly-debated topics in the 20th and 21st centuries, various internet memes and sarcastic criticisms of communism have been created, including various subreddits[3][4][5], websites[6][7][8], and countless memes.
