Man, i remember being like, 16, it's 2005 and /b/ is raiding an early right wing streamer or stormfront, and we're starting to do "activism" on the internet and it's pretty robustly left wing even if not like, really grounded in theory and prone to liberal derailment.

But like, all those harassment targets followed us back because it turns out "don't talk about 4chan" said tongue in cheek isn't real opsec.

It was still a shithole full of things I can't excuse and won't defend full stop - I still remember when the vibe could've gone a very different way, and I die a little inside remembering the agonizing witnessing of the fascist slide, because it did happen god damn it, i remember.

I checked in recently and the porn was all race shit and cuckold stuff, the incel vibes were off the charts worse than they'd ever been when i was younger, the earnest posts were fucking deranged. It's really sad. It's a shame they should all probably be consigned to the wall because a psudo-anonymous org is probably a useful idea for activism
