I love the last question ‘Aren’t you giving these trolls the attention they’re seeking by writing about them in The New York Times?’ I thought the same thing.

I thought the same thing. Interesting to see right-wing business coming out of *chan-land. I’d always seen it as more of a left-wing place.
- malvosenior 8y ago*chan-land is pro freedom of speech. Historically that meant being against things like religious crusades against explicit lyrics and anti-evolution arguments. With the shift of the left against free speech, they've become the new enemy.
- dandersh 8y agoNo they're not, their idea of freedom of speech extends no further than "I want to say whatever I want." Their longstanding history of doxxing, conducting raids, etc. on those who they disagree with are the exact opposite of actual proponents of free speech.
- Carlton87 8y agoY'all went so far left *chan-land is now considered right.
- beaconstudios 8y ago*chan land is chaotic neutral and always has been. Authoritarians just can't handle chaotic. A projection of a high dimensional vector (politics) onto a line (left - right) is always going to be a goof.
