...it has never made much sense as to why [m00t] would ban /new/ for being a racist hell hole and then, barely a year later, launch /pol/, a board specifically designed to be a racist hell hole. But buried inside the newest batch of files related to the Epstein investigation is a possible hint as to what made Poole change his mind. He met with Epstein the day before /pol/ was created.
/pol/ started by giving us GamerGate, then Qanon, before shitposting Trump into the presidency. It doesn't seem like Epstein and m00t were buddies or anything, but still, what the hell is this? Was Jeffrey Epstein behind Q?
I mean, it's already pretty clear that Epstein's accomplice Maxwell was a top Reddit moderator, so despite the conspiracy-ness, this isn't seeming all that far-fetched.
