How does one achieve the naivety to believe only a single political faction operates like this?

Because literally only one does. There is no bothsides here. 4chan is a cesspool that spawned some of the most awful hate seen on the Internet. Bannon saw the opportunity to there during Gamer Gate and 4chan was a willing springboard for the political disaster unfolding not just in the US but globally.

Fuck 4chan and fuck fascists, there is no giving them a “fair shake”.

Why are you so confident that you are correct here? Have you literally examined every facet of the internet?

I’m not questioning the goodness of anything. I’m just curious to see where your confidence stems from to demonize a whole collective of people beyond redemption. You’d think we’d get past this kind of ideology after WWII, y’know?

  Show me a left wing community on the Internet where they joke about rape and share videos of beheadings and pictures of dead kids to make jokes about. Where they relentlessly dox women who dare complain about being represented as sex objects in video games and media, harassing them in a coordinated, explicit purpose of driving them to misery or even suicide. Where their memes like “an hero” stem from a literal suicide posted to their community. Show me the left wing equivalent of that trash.
  
  4chan is disgusting, and it’s disgusting because of the garbage human beings who hang out there.

    The problem with your demands, is that the second I did show you exactly what you are requesting, you would simply shrug away my evidence as inauthentic. “That’s not a real left wing community” Isn’t that the Leftist motto, “That wasn’t real communism/socialism”
    
    But this is also what I’m trying to convey about 4chan. Its merely an anonymous image board of stupidity for the large majority of its users. This makes it an easy target for sensitive individuals who refuse to do their own field research.
