Shit's a war zone over there. One thread it's all boomers deep throating Israel and the next thread you'll have users saying fuck Israel at the top. Truly a sight to behold. Unfortunately I think the boomers are slowly winning, probably because other groups are deciding it isn't worth it to stick around on that board.
I'm sure there's a lot of that going on as well, but I will say the same thing I say to people who are convinced that reddit is mostly bots. These people really do exist in real life in large numbers.
It's amazing how bad it got so quickly. I think many are convinced it's bots, and while I am sure there is some botting involved, I think that is just how sites like this work. It mirrors what went down on reddit quite well.
For sites where visibility depends on upvotes and downvotes, a small majority being hostile to the minority will continue to isolate said minority and drive it from the site. This creates a vicious cycle that makes it exponentially more hostile for the minority opinion until it is largely driven from the site.
Of course, reddit had a lot more heavy handed tactics employed from the very top admins as well.

Probably also a rally around the leader effect. That fat oaf is supporting this war, so people who think themselves as fat oaf supporters tend to move towards his positions.
It's pretty sad honestly. Democrats are so terrible that "I hate this retarded warmongering but still have to vote GOP" could still be a legit coherent position to hold, but it's like their minds can't take it so they just go all in on cheering for it instead. They'll probably be surprised when Democrats win the Senate in the upcoming elections and many will blame it on fraud, which is a huge shame because it takes away from legitimate cases of actual election fraud.

Nothing better than honesty. There was a guy here who was one of the few DeSantis supporters. I always respected him because he was very honest about DeSantis's flaws, namely that he was a neocon, and that guy really hated neocons. (In retrospect, less so than Trump.)
If you try to justify your guy no matter what he does, then you're always going to get the short end of the stick. The neocons will turn their back on Trump if he doesn't wage wars, while the "anti-war" people will support him no matter what. Easy to figure out what will happen if you just take the easiest path.

Yeah they are all future mass grave occupants with their kikes they love so much
I've mostly dipped out. PDW is captured.

Remember when 4chan was hacked and it was revealed that /pol/ posts from Israel were 800K greater than even posts from the United States?
Yeah, not unique.
