It is a sad time every time someone, anyone, takes anything from 4Chan seriously

when I started browsing \b\ I thought that they were nazis only for the lulz. Right now Im not sure if I was wrong.

But why is it always nazis? Nobody jokingly organizes a movement to eat the landlords that actually causes some landlords to get eaten, but the same cannot be said about "jokingly" organizing a hate mob that actually hurts people.

I think people joked about taboo subjects then actual Nazis didn't get the joke and called it home.

Maybe less "didn't get the joke" and more "started saying nazi stuff while pretending it's still jokes"

This makes sense to me.

I'm pretty sure bronies have the same origin story.
