    Did you ever see that 'investigation' or insider reveal bit about the mods of 4chan? Their Discord names were all posted, with screencaps of conversations etc. and some explanatory narration about who they were or how they acted. I think this was a few years ago, I don't remember the details, just recall thinking that at least half of them should've been put to the wall immediately, starting with that piece of dogshit head mod with the edgelord screen name.

    The reveal showed that the site was deliberately and knowingly steered toward neo-nazi and reactionary dominance in discussions and mod actions. /b/ with its juvenile nO rULeSSszZz had been like an open barn door to something like that happening for years and finally it did. A fucking gold mine for psy ops of the CIA and FBI, ever in pursuit of their anti-communist wetdreams while they pretend to be impartial to any political affiliations in all their PR.

      No. It sounds interesting though, if you can find it again I would take a look!

      That's what I thought, it seems sus that admittedly one of the most influential sites for internet culture just so happens to be a global House Unamerican Activities Committee.
