/pol/ - Politically Incorrect is 4chan's board for "political discussion."[it just is, ok?] Originally, /pol/ was created on November 10, 2011, as a spin-off of /new/ following its deletion 8 months prior. This deletion was due to the fact that a large portion of the users on /new/ were "stormfront users" or "nazis" which caused the moderators of 4chan to delete the board entirely before creating /pol/.
The current state of /pol/
It's widely agreed upon that /pol/ is currently a politically themed random board due to extremely low quality content and niggerdick spam posted regularly (this includes: bait/shill posts, NSFW content, sperging, reddit migrants and schizoposting). The large drop in quality can be attributed to /pol/'s massive rise in popularity during and after the election of Donald Trump when /pol/ was frequently mentioned in the mainstream media, which caused a massive influx of newfags who weren't adapted to the board and site culture, and irreversibly pozloaded the formerly Aryan[it just is, ok?] board's neghole.
A left-wing board before Stormfront/chadfront invasion?
Some people will assert that /pol/ was a centre-left or left-wing board before "Stormfront" flooded it. This is SOMEWHAT untrue, albeit /pol/ had a right-wing majority though. The userbase mostly ranged from Ron Paul libertarians to Nazis, this can be proven by looking at early archives [1] [2] discussing /pol/ in 2012 (/pol/ itself has little to no archives before 2014).
Mass shootings
/pol/ has been linked to mass shooters such as Brenton Tarrant and Payton Gendron. It has been theorized that they either have no lives, spent their days on /pol/ and end up radicalized, or they might have been psyops orchestrated by the feds.
