I've been monitoring 4chan and 8kun (formerly 8chan) since yesterday and there's a lot of disappointment in Trump, Lin Wood and Q interspersed with this sort of thing: a discussion of the efficacy of millions of white people storming the government and taking over it from 8 kun.
This anon counters with a mention of the Christchurch shooter who was radicalized on 8chan. In 2019 alone 8chan users murdered over 80 people in mass and Q-related shootings. This was part of the reason they had to rebrand as 8kun after being called before Congress.
Amidst the constant racism and anti-Semitism, you also have this genre of forboding "next time" post:
This is what greets you atop the /pnd/ board where all this takes place by the way. A rotating assortment of pro-Nazi and pro-mass shooter gifs and pictures adorns the board's banner and really sets the tone of the place from the jump.
Here's an example of the sort of sticky thread you can find on the /pnd/ board: a vast library of Nazi writings. Believe me when I tell you that writing articles about these people and having to go to the board consistently is not enjoyable.
It's quite a thing to read the posts of a bunch of people who either think the insurrection was great and the groundwork for something more & compare them to the hardcores who think Trump is a Zionist puppet who betrayed his race by allowing his daughter to marry a Jew. In other
words, there are a great many on the board who think Donald Trump is not nearly racist enough. Which... is quite dark. These charming folks have also sent me a great many threats and even went so far as to contact my family, something that also happened last September. Bad times.

Any effort by @TwitterSafety seeking to offset reprehensible disinformation that flourishes here and the carnage that disinformation has wrought should absolutely include banning @MrAndyNgo. Few on this platform have purposefully trafficked in deceit that results in violence 1/
to the degree Ngo has. Over and over he willfully deceives his followers into a frenzy that results in death and rape threats for journalists and anyone else Mr. Ngo decides is worthy of his scorn. He knowingly collaborates with neo-fascists & knowingly helps them spread 2/
dangerous disinformation that riles up his large audience. @MrAndyNgo knows full well his followers engage in repugnant harassment of anyone he mentions yet he never rebukes their behavior. These are the actions of a propagandist, @TwitterSafety, the type of propagandist 3/
I'd like for it not to get lost in all this that @tedcruz was fundraising during the attack on the Capital today. Not only was the Senator fundraising, but he was claiming he needed funds to continue the insurrectionist fight against these United States. Seems rather seditious.
"Just like you, I've been angered by how we've seen election officials act outside their Constitutional authority to rewrite voting laws." - @tedcruz today, during an attack on the US Capital.
In his own words, he is a leader of today's movement: "I'm *leading the fight* to reject electors from key states unless there is an emergency audit of the election results." - @tedcruz today, during an attack on the US Capital.
