There is a very real phenomenon of right-wing reactionary nerdom, being played out some on 4chan and some on the wider internet in general, and that certainly merits some investigation. But do you want to talk about that, or do you want to talk about 4chan?

Yeah, it was this I wanted to talk about really. I started off talking about 4chan because I always thought poo poo like GG is where it started and just bloomed from there.

I want to third this. Watching the evolution of 4chan's news/politics board throughout its various incarnations was one of the more astonishing things I've subjected myself to through the internet until it got to the point where I finally ceded that there was nowhere further for it to sink. The way that kind of madness has permeated outside of its ghetto is interesting as well, but it almost pales in comparison to the toxicity of /pol/ itself and other boards like it.
