A mass “doxing” effort to track down, intimidate and harass people perceived not to have sufficiently mourned the killing of the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk was endorsed on Monday by JD Vance.

The US vice-president guest-hosted Kirk’s podcast on Monday and said that people who “see someone celebrating Charlie’s murder” should “call them out”. He added: “Hell, call their employer. We don’t believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility, and there is no civility in the celebration of political assassination.”

I will pay for a front row seat to watch 8chan consume the entire MAGA movement with memes and swatting.

So 4 chan was all we heard about back in the day, then someone said that 8 chan was worse. Is there a 16 chan that actually controls the hacker known as 4chan?

There might even be a 32 chan...
