are you living in an alternate reality?
/pol/ doesn't give a single fuck about free speech. The moment you say anything they disagree with they just report you to their mods and call you a shill instead of actually making a counterargument. I've seen plenty of people there actually say that they want to get rid of free speech when they get into power, because their political opponents shouldn't be allowed to question them.
I've tried to explain to them why that's a bad idea, but they're pretty thick-headed. There's a reason people call them right-wing SJWs.

Because the whole board is filled with contrarians who don't actually think for themselves. They just look at whatever the far left believes, and adopt the exact opposite stance no matter what. It turns out that the far-left is pretty fucking stupid, so /pol/ ends up being right about a lot of things (like immigration), but due to their lack of critical thinking they end up having really ill-informed opinions on things like the environment.
Of fucking course the climate is being affected by all of the shit we've been pumping into it for the past two centuries, and there are mountains of data to back up the idea that the Earth is warming due to the effects of industrial civilization. But the average neo-/pol/ack will dismiss any evidence presented to him about that issue, because it's "something liberals believe", and therefore it must be wrong. Because as everyone knows, that's how politics works: half the country is right exactly 100% of the time, and the other half is wrong 100% of the time.
tl;dr: Republicans ruined /pol/
