It's always been an incomprehensible blob of every possible opinion at once. Most of the things that are said are not even real opinions people hold. Things are said just to see what kinds of responses it gets. I don't believe it makes sense to try and classify the site as of any political side.

I'm sure a lot of the vitriol on 4chan is a combination of boredom and catharsis. I've done it but it got old really fast.

How quickly people forget about GamerGate and when /pol/ had to be shutdown because of all the raids. That was literally the cause of 8chan's creation. You do realize that 4chan memes were referenced at Christchurch? It's great to be an optimist and assume that everyone is secretly just kidding, but clearly not everyone got the memo. There are really crazy people there who take these calls to action deadly serious.

  I didn't imply that everyone is kidding. Only that all opinions are going to be represented whether that person believes it or not. One person does not speak for everyone. They only speak for themselves. People commit atrocities in the name of religions and we don't seem to blame the entire organization for a single extremist.

  > Taxi Driver formed part of the delusional fantasy of John Hinckley Jr.[26] that triggered his attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan in 1981, an act for which he was found not guilty by reason of insanity Its great to be an optimist and think movies don't cause harm, clearly not everyone got the memo, there's some really crazy people out there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi_Driver#John_Hinckley_Jr https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi_Driver#John_Hinckley_Jr.
