Just imagine what /pol/ could do if they had access to the same resources and data that the government does.
You'd have thousands of autists combing through papers and videos, cross referencing everything, just to find a thot who doesn't pay her taxes and her illegal boyfriend.
You'd have entire teams dedicated to solving mysterious cold-case murders just for keks.
Others would compile detailed lists and charts of every statistic they could think of, such as accurate crime data and every law that raised or lowered a particular stat.
Still, others might commit to auditing every police force just to see how much they get from traffic tickets and civil forfeiture.
Yet through the chaos and the clamouring, the best manages to rise to the top.
I have a theory on this. You're absolutely correct on the computational power. 1000 random people will have an easier time than 10 choice people, even if there's a lot of crap thrown around.
So my theory is that 'the best' goes through several layers before it rises to the top. First, you have raw data everyone combs through. If someone finds something, they'll post it, most of which is shit. However, this layer is slightly more refined. Others will sift through it and pick out the good stuff, debate it, and talk about it. During this stage, others will create lists, charts, pictures, and screenshots to help out. Afterwards, people will make a semi-final or final compilation of the data, usually in easy to understand info-graphics.

/pol/ works better because they have access to far more computational power than any centralized government.
A bunch of random assholes sitting at computers, some of whom are intelligent, some of whom are not. Everyone spews out shit.
Some people say worthwhile things, others do not.
Yet through the chaos and the clamouring, the best manages to rise to the top.
Weaponized autism is a powerful force in modern politics.

I never understood the autism slur for 4chan nerds. Autism is a kind a retardation, not the idiot savant rain man shit 4chan does.

They work better because they are motivated from within. They are stubborn.

You realize this is the argument the left uses to promote "diversity" hires

It killed me to press the check mark confirming that's what I meant to spell. Stop using nig words.
[–] SIayfire122 ago
I used that word and example specifically because of the thot audit that /pol/ and others have been doing recently.

truthfully that sounds kinda terrifying people with like zero EQ finding out whatever they want about literally ne one

It's okay, autists are really good at outing other, evil autists.
