Not a chan expert but my impression is the awfulness used to be more unfocused and blasted out in a bunch of horrible misanthropic directions, and they didn't have a clear program for it
As time went that stream was eventually focused into a Nazi laser
I remember reading about Stormfront specifically targeting the chans, sensing that their alienated, socially maladjusted audience could be receptive to their message
Was that the anti-Scientology thing? I kinda thought that just took off because it was easy feel good activism that made edgy nerds feel important
IIRC many 4channers thought that and the other """"good""""" Anonymous stunts were deeply cringe and damaged their reputation as tough guys that call each other slurs while bullying kids into suicide and watching snuff videos on their cartoon image board
It was weev and his whole crew, wasn't it? I distinctly remember a turning point on the chans where they hated everyone in a south park misanthrope kind of way to praising weev and hating everyone in a klan sort of way.
