I've always had a lot of love for Bernie, but god damn, his track record of hiring supremely unserious clowns like Briahna Joy Gray is ROUGH.

Not really. Moot always despised the pol crowd and sold the site in 2015.

While I fully admit this coincidence is enough to make my brain bleed, pol was created as a quarantine board for the nazis that had already infested the site, and both moot and pol hated each other.

Nah moot and pol had a burning mutual hatred for each other.

Again, I don't think it really means anything but god damn is it ever an insane coincidence.

To be clear: I don't think there was any collusion. Moot had no love for the pol crowd and the nazis had already infested the site before pol. But the sheer coincidence is enough to give me a migraine.

Facts, but the sheer coincidence is enough to give me migraine.

Honestly almost impossible to contest at this point.

The latest document drop has emails of him sending people shit directly from /gifs. He didn't just know about it, he was a big user.

The former. We actually have good evidence on that.

It very likely isn't connected, especially given that /pol was created as a containment board for the nazis that had already infested /new. Still, a coincidence this crazy gives me a migraine.

If you don't understand this meme, count yourself among God's favored children and leave it at that.

/pol is the 4chan Nazi image board where the modern far right germinated.

Tea party is pre-pol but I dig the sentiment.

Correct, /pol was meant as the nazi containment board after /new got infested with nazis, but the timing is absurd.

Dude, I have no idea. This is the kind of insanity where I have no idea how to even begin approaching it in scholarly fashion.

That feeling when you, a terrorism and extremism scholar, see documentary evidence that shows moot met with Jeffery Epstein on the same day /pol was launched:
