/pol/ is not an organization. It's a loose community of people, almost none of whom have done anything worse than expressing terrible opinions.

Shootings are incentivized by /pol/ and frequently announced there, but they're not planned on /pol/.

I don't think "/pol/ operatives" meaningfully exist.

Some /pol/ members have committed acts of mass murder.

Al Queda is also a loose organization without explicit membership, etc.

I don’t see any difference between the two organizational structures from an anti terror perspective (though Al Queda might sometimes organize humanitarian actions — Many Islamic terrorist groups have a recruiting arm that does this sort of thing, and I can’t keep them straight anymore)

...do you see why your view is absurd? I can paint almost any group with that brush.
