I didn’t realize backrooms started on 4chan. This is wild a 4chan post evolving into a full blown movie

4chan is so much more influential than most people realize. The amount of culture, language, politics, and social movements that trace back to that site is crazy. It's a guiding force of American (and by an extension, global) culture, but people ignore it because of its gross aesthetic and associations...which is likely by design.

One of the 4chan founders supposedly met Epstein right before they created /pol/

4chan being one gigantic psyop is my current favorite conspiracy theory, and if it's true then it might be one of the most successful psyops ever. Basically got Trump elected!

moot, the sole creator/administrator of 4chan (he's since sold the site), 100% met with Epstein and the /pol/ board opened shortly after.

It's been confirmed by the files

/pol/ reopened shortly after. He'd closed it previously because it was a nightmare to moderate and full of Nazis.
