>The Peter Bright article you posted has no mention of /pol.

It wasn't supposed to, I just posted it for the context of the court case I was talking about. It would be more weird if the court decision included those, since they didn't contribute to his arrest or anything.

If you are curious, you are welcome to go to any 4chan archiver websites and search for his name to see those conversations.

>Trolling journalists doesn't sound like "gems", it sounds like a waste of time (and I'm no fan of most journalists).

What sounds like a waste of time to you might sound like good entertainment to others. If anything, I would say that the "journalist" going directly to 4chan and attempting to "interview" people there was much more of a waste of time.

You claimed there was something beyond the surface level racism and white supremacy, but you haven't really provided that. Trolling journalists doesn't make them any less racist, especially when they use racism for trolling.

There doesn't seem to be anything "deeper". Just straight up white supremacy.

[EDIT] (since I'm now throttled for some reason)

You can go on /pol right now and see it's full of white supremacy and hate. You claimed there's some deeper meaning to all of that. There's not though, it is exactly what it looks like.

You seem to be hyperfixating on one out of 3 examples I mentioned. Did you miss the part about a proof for an unsolved math problem or early allegations against someone who went on to be charged for that exact same thing years later?

Not even mentioning other boards that are hobby-specific, like /o/ (car-related stuff) or /fit/ (fitness related stuff). If you see no value in it, that's fine. But "everything i don't like has no value" is not the way to live life.

There should be a "Somebody's Law" that when someone on the internet says "can you provide an example of x" and then you provide an example of x, they will usually argue that it's not really an example of x.
