    4chan back before the Nazi takeover was like the wild west. My favorite part was “Lithursday,” when we would share images with embedded PDFs of copyrighted content, including rare books, anarchist materials, and military manuals. I often wonder if those unusually large .jpgs are still floating around the internet waiting to be unlocked. I also saw legitimate acts of activism and terrorism unfolding live, without the interpretation and propaganda of the state.

      Oh yes… The rise (and fall) of 4chan. At least the site is still relatively lean, so that’s that 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Those are some rose tinted glasses because 4Chan was always full of Nazi shit, it may have gotten worse after m00t sold the site but it was never not bad either.

        Well, that was it’s selling-point. Like many others too. Really bad shit. Tasteless, disgusting. An abyss for human depravity.
