/pol/ is easy to spoof, but it automatically adds a trip to unique IPs and posts the flag of the IP’s country. It’s both anonymous from a user’s personal life but allows for the crowd to search out and target specific trips so it encourages group think and unity despite the anonymous nature.
I find /pol/ to be a sad curiosity. Most of the actual content (i.e. the posts that are not just random crap, raids, etc.) are people with terrible views reaching out to find literally anyone. There is a lot of people posting something along the lines of “How can I convince my family or friends why [insert race] is a problem?” or “Why doesn’t anyone else see that [insert conspiracy, typically an alt right one]?” and even “So I know why [insert one racist/sexist/etc. “problem”], but redpill me on [a different one], I can’t find anything on google.”
