> [@aldiboronti](#): > > Both parties are equally guilty of stoking the fires of racial hatred, of fear of the Other, whether it be the bugaboo of unchecked immigration or the spectre of the Evil Anglo. Absolute nonsense. The Democrats are not oppressing white people. The only people who think they are are white people who think they’re entitled to get better treatment than everyone else and get upset when somebody tells them everyone’s equal. ---

I’m honestly surprised any of those places hosted 8chan. I would have expected it to be running overseas on some basement servers, with a URL that constantly had to change as top level domain would notice and remove them. Or, hell being hosted inside TOR as an onion site, with only a simple front end to the wider Internet. Maybe even being run peer-to-peer, using its users as hosts. The changes 4chan went through were all basically necessary to avoid legal trouble, so I’d expect 8chan to have to try and stay hidden. And, again, anti-racist is not a code word for anti-white, no matter what those KKK signs say. The left doesn’t in any way fan racial hatred. I won’t say there are no racist leftists. But they don’t fan the hatred. Hating bigots is not hating white people. The OP is repeating both Trumpist and KKK rhetoric with this “both sides” bullshit. ---
