We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

As someone not well versed with 4chan, what is POL?
Basically where all their politics came from and pretty much the birth place of MAGA bros, Groypers, QAnon, etc. The stuff that infests main stream social media today all started on 4chan back in 2015. If bots got Trump elected, it all started with 4chan. It was basically ground zero for the state of the internet now. Subreddits on Reddit like r/The_Donald would have never existed without 4chan starting the memes and trends. There was always a joke back in the day with the cycle of memes on the internet. 4chan -> Reddit -> Twitter -> Facebook.
Here's an article that shows 4chans reaction to Trump winning in 2016. It's basically what Twitter looks like now with Trump winning in 2024.

Dumb shits, they've no idea what they did there, no one likes the clintons, but they helped doom the republic. Already terminal they are just, what do you call a disease you get because your immune system is weakened by another disease? That.
Opportunistic
Politics of the worst kind
Specifically the kind that grew to take control of the US.
Anonymous politics imageboard. Full of nazis. Epicenter of all the trump memes and movement that contributed to his popularity early on. Q-anon epicenter. Bunch of incel/antisemitic/fascist/racist types.
pol is responsible for the_donald, along with most of the worst wojak and pepe memes you've ever seen
It is an unironic nazi cesspool
Politics board on 4chan known to contain a lot of extremism, conspiracies and federal agents (not to say that 4chan is aggresively fingerprints its users and has DIRECT connections to fbi)
Ha ha, feds huh? I don't recall any prosecutions naming 4 chan and I read the news however. I do recall propublica doing a bit on something of the sort recently though. Whatchacall it, some murder group that warped dumbass kids. Mostly like eastern europeans but they pushed a lot of young men to kill strangers, gays, other others.
The majority of 4chan is on the politics (pol) board. Its probably the most impactful message board on the site.
No, it's on /b/ which is much worse
You are correct, and I've revised.
