>just so people can shitpost "check my dubs" or whatever
It's not just for shitposting; the point is that you can post anything you'd like. Sure this results in a lot of spam and low-quality threads, but who cares. If you want a board to be good, you have to make good threads and post in them (self moderation!)
>the community there are what ruins it.
Precisely. A lot of /pol/'s current users are butthurt fags who take themselves too seriously, and as a result the board has stagnated and become shit. The hotpocketry is just a result of that. And that is why we need a new /pol/ board, a real alternative where a new board culture can flourish.
>A new board for such a subtle difference ultimately means nothing
That depends entirely on the userbase. /pol/ doesn't have to stay on /pol/; it may as well exist here instead. As far as I've seen, quite some people are dissatisfied with the current state of /pol/. And even /int/, a board which is way smaller, split in two due to different opinions on how moderation should be handled, so I don't see why it shouldn't work with /pol/ as well.
>there should be a board dedicated to actually going out and making a /pol/ approved difference in the world.
Again, this depends on the userbase. A board is just a tool which can be used to accomplish these results; it has no value in and of itself. It all depends on the posters.
