/pol/ wasn't nearly that bad of a board until 2017, then it went from worst than /b/ to better to worst periodically, but was generally a shitposting board more than anything. It was still miles better than the real fucking garbage boards on 8chan but everyone is going to hate on it forever now since it was "the board that killed 8chan". Even though the shooters that shot up the walmart were fucking hated by most posters in later threads, even though they were most likely some /leftypol/ fags trying to falseflag "muh evil nazis", even though half the board thought Brenton was a fucking idiot for wasting his life shooting nobodies. It wasn't even that bad of a board, but it just got unlucky since its been targeted by shills, actual feds (look at the christchurch 8chan thread screenshots from feds with a bunch of posts with you's in them for proof), and attracting the attention of people dumb enough to waste their lives shooting nobodies.

In all honesty, the real reason you or anyone else will hate on /pol/ is because it seems they shut the site down. But like the other anon said, that's very naive thinking. This was like banning semi-autos after Brenton, they were planning to do it anyways, but this was a great opportunity.
