            Jupp, I stopped using 4chan when I learned a sizable amount of the people using it actually believed what was in what I perceived as the shitposts. Prior to that it was for me an outlet for the dumbest ideas I could think of

              I heard that Epstein actually active tried influencing 4chan in a certain direction. I forget the details, but he was involved with that site and the culture and political views that was spread from there to the rest of the internet.

              Almost feels like tinfoil hat shit, but it’s supposedly there in some of the leaked files that Epstein had a lot to influence internet culture and politocal leanings early on. If true, then yikes.

                  Yeah it was /pol/ that Epstein supposedly helped start. Fuck man. If I find the source I stumbled on, I’ll share it, but it’s like weeks to months ago that I saw it and was like “huh, that’s fucked”, but I didn’t think to bookmark it at the time.
