I was on CA all the time back in its heyday and I don't remember it being this bad. It was obviously very right wing to the point of arguably being extremist at times, but it was rarely an angry place. Nobody was posting novellas justifying their belief that everyone who isn't exactly like them deserved to die, like the left is currently doing.
If CA was instead as far left as it was far right, today it'd be considered a moderate bastion of reason on that godforsaken site. The only place I'm aware of that's possibly approaching as extremist as Reddit has been for the past 10 years is maybe Stormfront? But even that's not as bad, from a cursory glance. It looks like a bunch of boomers who are the mirror image of BLM complete with the exact same talking points, and BLM is mainstream.
Does the far right actually exist at all outside of a handful of Top Secret Clubs each with a total membership of 6?
There are honest elements of the far, far right. But they realize that trying to get their message out isn't going to happen just yet. Plus, your average "person" has been programmed to reject the message.

And those six people = two crazy homeless dudes who were recruited by the other four, all of whom are feds.
