>>256526This. We made serious attempts to take back the board but it was too far gone, even for /pol/. If you look at the stats, /pol/ population has increased more than four-fold since the start of the election cycle...
Nupol are no different to Bernie Bros, Hilldawgs, and so on. It's a personality cult, and it's changed the entire culture of the board. They mean everything they say, unironically. They're incapable of recognizing shitposting, which can be amusing at first, but you miss the art of true shitposting, the camaraderie, and the mutual respect for fellow shitposters. It just becomes trolling on any old normie site - no nupoltard will ever tell you he saw what you did there...
They don't understand 4chan culture in general, nevermind /pol/ culture. They don't get that oldfags can pick them out with ease...
They don't get that Pepe got old before current year even became current. They post Pepes on every board unironically, because every board loves Pepe...
Don't get me wrong. I don't care about the board. I'm a legit old oldfag and I've seen boards rise and fall plenty. But I do care about the sheer number that have moved in, and the continued interest in 4chan on normie media. Hiromoot is only human, which means he won't be able to resist pandering to the new traffic.
