> Most of the outside-the-overton-window discussion on 4chan is discussion of national socialism, with an occasional call for genocide.

4chan attracts people with extreme, elitist opinions on everything. Nazism is just one manifestation of this.

Saying "I like systemd" on /g/, "I like Murakami" on /lit/, and "I support the State of Israel" on /pol/ will garner roughly the same reaction.

Yes, but because other forums tolerate extreme opinions on other subjects, people who hold them don't have a particularly burning desire to congregate there.

I don't think anyone's been banned here for liking systemd, or for expressing their support for Israel, but they will be for calls to genocide the Middle East.
