It illustrates the value of discourse analysis in evaluating users’ associations with the Alt-Right. It assesses how the /pol/ community responds to observation and provides new insights into roles influencers might have in radicalising others. Our analysis enhances understanding of ‘free-extremist’ communities such as 4chan in several ways. We conducted discourse analysis on this unique dataset, providing an alternative perspective to predominant anthropological and informatic approaches. Reviewing it later, the authors realised that this parallel thread illustrates perfectly the challenges researching 4chan – and similar – communities. Unbeknownst to the authors, a participant was a 4chan user and started a mid-workshop thread on its notorious /pol/ (politically incorrect) board. In 2019, the authors led a workshop at King’s College London examining how to study 4chan and assess their association with the Alt-Right.
