I loved it actually. Its was invigorating—like a cold shower. But this was years ago when I was in my 20s.
I don't go on 4chan anymore (or any social media outside HN [1]) and have mellowed out but it gave me the courage to call BS from either "side".
My theory is that 4chan hasn't become more extreme in the last 10 years. It's that "judgment-zones" like twitter and reddit have caused everyone else to become softer.
[1]: I'm serious, I didn't know about any stuff happening in the capitol until I saw it on HN.
