I think you'd be surprised by the type of people who frequent the /pol/ section. I check into it for professional reasons on occasion. There are clearly some very intelligent and knowledgeable people who frequent that section of 4chan. Also, their ability to manipulate and, at times even dictate, public discourse is rather astonishing. Pepe was entirely their creation, at least the reintroduction of the Pepe meme during the 2016 campaign. Of course, there is a slew of racist content on there as well. They also do some good, like tracking down Eric Clanton, the bike lock antifa guy. They're very hard to really quantify.
