Back in the day the overall political attitude of 4chan was just edge in general, regardless of placement on any spectrum. But people didn't see any particular enemy to fight. Once political correctness came in force to the internet (post-2007 social media and smartphone revolution), the edge became contrarianism against whatever was in vogue. And what is in vogue is often politically correct, left-wing, etc.
