/Pol/ died shortly before the 2016 election. QAnon killed it. Now it’s more like 90% bots, 5% incels, 4% schizos, and 1% people checking in during happenings. Someone, probably one of Trump’s people, decided it was no longer useful, so they unleashed QAnon to weaponize schizos and keep them barking up the wrong tree. It was masterful psychological warfare and a whole separate wing of the operation made sure it crossed into boomer circles on Facebook and Twitter.
I remember checking in the night of the 2016 election and the top thread was a debate about vegetarianism with over 300 replies. Third thread was debating the existence of God, and fourth was about aliens. Someone has bots flooding it with garbage 24/7. Pilpuls designed to waste the time of anyone retarded enough to argue.
I know Null isn’t a fan of political sperging but it’s easier to tell if someone is a bot here, based on join date, react score, and knowledge of lolcows.
