It is a sad time every time someone, anyone, takes anything from 4Chan seriously

But why is it always nazis? Nobody jokingly organizes a movement to eat the landlords that actually causes some landlords to get eaten, but the same cannot be said about "jokingly" organizing a hate mob that actually hurts people.

I think people joked about taboo subjects then actual Nazis didn't get the joke and called it home.

Maybe less "didn't get the joke" and more "started saying nazi stuff while pretending it's still jokes"

I'm pretty sure bronies have the same origin story.

Also a product of someone taking 4Chan seriously. There used to be a saying every time 4Chan was mention back in the day. Something like if you have a community where you pretend to be fools, an actual fools would think they've found their company.

Pretty sure it's just more trolling, what better way to make people mad than to tell them their excuses for social failure are fabricated?

It's not even touching grass, it's just not using 4chan as the basis of your entire world view that would do the trick.

You think somebody would do that?

Just go on the internet and tell lies?

it's like those people from Plato's Cave Allegory going outside for the first time and bringing back forbidden knowledge
