    I haven’t been on 4chan in over a decade, but I don’t remember that crowd being anywhere close to right wing.

      It depends on what boards you frequented. There was also a big influx a few years ago, especially following the closure of places like TheDonald. There are 100% right wing extremists on 4chan, if you know the dog whistles to look for.

        That actually makes a lot of sense. 4chan is where people go when the mainstream is rejecting them. Turns out we’re the mainstream now!

      Then you don’t remember 4chan or stayed off the main boards. I haven’t been on in close to a decade and they were unironically Nazi post well before I bailed.
