I believe this post, like many others are correlating the creation of the /pol/ board on 4chan after moot had a conversation with Epstein or something.

Acting like /pol/ and 4chan is solely responsible for the entire situation is just a vapid braindead take, much less the idea that a political board on a popular forum hangout is some meniacal master plan...

Obviously all this Epstein shit is heinous af, but acting like he's the origin of all evil just fucking hilarious "this is your brain on religion" logic. That being said, Epstein would definitely make a good "Satan's avatar" in a story...

Firstly, what do you mean solely responsible, secondly, groypers, pepe the frog, wojaks, incels, the proud boys, whoever was running Ron Desantis' media accounts and throwing sonnenrads behind his head in promotional videos, and many people currently working for Trump right now have roots in 4chan.

Frankly, I think you're getting a bit defensive.

[edit] Oh, I always forget about QAnon. That's like the first one I should say. The capital riot was QAnon. That's 4chan, man.

And? 4chan was a shithole. I don't know why I'd be defensive over it.

I just thinking blaming edgelord neckbeards with terminal online syndrome for the current political landscape is a cop-out and naive at BEST.

If that's a defensive position to take of 4chan your bar is extremely low.
