4chan has a pretty hard and fast rule of contrarianism, in large part because thats what keeps posts from falling off the front page.
They don’t use votes there, posts that get replies move to the front page and fall down until they hit 10th page and disappear if they don’t get any.
As a result, 4chan will go against whatever the largest voices in modern culture are saying, which for over a decade have been the left wing/liberal ideology. Before that, they were very left-leaning because we were in the Bush era where culture was very traditional/right leaning.
/pol/ was/is predominantly MAGA or outright NatSoc chuds. Nearly everywhere else was/is edgelord man children whose opinions are"holier than thou" and always happy to shit on you for the lulz.
/pol/ and /b/ and similar are still mostly far right losers. On boards like /news/ or the hobby boards it‘s mostly young liberals or autistic loners spending time on the internet. /x/ is just conspiracy crackheads like it‘s always been.
I remember 4chan being predominantly MAGA few years back, is this still the case?

So it’s basically a comtinuous flamewar?
Makes sense
That actually sums it up perfectly, yea.
That’s a very apt description, yeah

I got a feeling there was a word for NatSoc… Maybe one that doesn’t try to hide what it’s about…

Oh, and half the posts are trolls anyway.
Just half?
I don’t know if MAGA specifically, but it’s always been far right so…
