4chan, /pol/, /x/ is a psyop/machine learning experiment.
I have been using this website since about 2004(5)
I have used a number of the boards since that time, often staying with a single board for a considerable time (years) until I get bored or simply because my interests have changed.
I have participated in what could be thousands of threads and discussions over 14 years. /x/ has likely been my primary board for the longest period although I can not remember when I first started using it or for how long I have used it. /pol/ has been more recent for me.
The boards I have frequented have changed considerably over recent years. Patterns of communication, topics, discussion have lead me to believe that many users are not typical.
A particular pattern that was evident would usually be around the time of American elections, the (atmosphere) or user behavior would change, however this would usually subside after a relatively short period. This last election I have noticed it to be very different and this behavior has persisted.
I strongly believe an MKULTRA like experiment is underway. I believe (they) use psychological manipulation to create dissonance in order to sway opinion to meet their agenda. (they) are using preexisting communities to develop methods of influence, as well as using those communities as a collective neutral network or botnet to direct larger audiences. Documentation was recently posted detailing this method and relation to the (memewars).
