/lit/ - Literature

Why has the quality of this board declined so much? It used to be full of interesting discussions and you could here and there find genuinely well-read and intelligent posters to engage with. Nowadays it's just zoomers who don't read posturing anonymously ad infinitum. I've had better luck finding good discussions on pl*bbit during the last few months than on this forsaken wasteland.

>>20360856
I actually hate being on here. I wish I could leave but I'm addicted.

>>20360868
They need to get mods who actually care about literature who don’t play around. Ban anyone or delete off topic posts. It’s easy to see who’s posting in good faith. This board is at an all time low thanks to the user base. Like you said pol, r9k an b.

>>20360863
I cut up some big pig ears with a hacksaw today for my dog in the back yard. It's really sunny out. It felt great getting some sun on my skin again. The dog ate one of those pig ears sitting in the sand. That's probably not great for his teeth. It's these small moments that are keeping me going. One day at a time. I've been depressed for so fucking long. It never ends.

y’all need to have sex

>>20360894
why?
t. 30 khv

>>20360894
Did this morning. Still depressed

>>20360876
then you need to sort out some sort of detox.

>>20360868
Lit used to be filled with losers, but they were self aware funny losers who actually read. Now it’s people using books as props, the way a women uses a purse, to define themselves because they are unable to do it on their own. Now lit is bitter and negative. They can’t even stay in their own threads, they have to stick their nose into legit literature threads to disparage with one line responses, which derails the whole thread

I’ll say it: /pol/ has ruined lit

>>20360916
Tried it. Lasted a month. Felt really bored and depressed. What the hell did people do without computers.

>>20360868
most of the people who make good quality posts move on from places like these quite quickly, if they end up here at all

I wish I could get my dick hard.

>>20360868
Okay, which thread was the one where people said something so unlike your own beliefs that you got triggered enough to whine about it here?

>>20360922
yeah you are gonna be bored and depressed, probably for a while. but you have to feel emotions in order to get through them. you'll thank yourself for it at the end of the tunnel

Femanon, be my gf

>>20360930
How do all of you older people strike a balance between time spent online and offline?

>>20360923
The thing is, not every post needs to be a high quality effort post. I don’t expect effortposts from those just getting into reading. But they still have a right to learn and discuss what they are reading. That’s how they learn and lit benefits from quality posting. Also sometimes effortposters miss the forest for the trees and once in a while it helps to have a more novice prospective. If you can teach and learn, there will be higher quality posts. The problem is with a majority of the userbase

>>20360903
Why?

Everytime I distance myself from /lit/ I get agitately depressed from a lack of community to belong to. I have an indescribable depression that saying it will make me look stupid so I keep my mouth shut. Yet to describe the condition is ludicrous I'm being haunted by the most pleasant dreams I see new friends, sex and old girl crushes. Yet it's mocking me and putting me in despair that I wallow here dying.

>>20361000
congrats on the triples

>>20360876
I always have the hope that lit will rebound, so I don’t get myself permabanned. I know if I do, I’ll see all the writers and books I want to talk about

>>20361019
Thanks anon. I have such bloomer dreams like Bruce Wayne saving people from being incinerated. I kneel to my brain. And yet its so depressing I have no idea what it means.

>>20361062
You're not as profound as you think you are.

Need me a virgin child bride to cherish and love for the rest of my life.

>>20361069
You're not profound either with the lack of information you give. I was trying to spin a tale and failed and now your baiting me for no reason.

I desire sex

>>20361085
You WILL marry the 32 yo roastie from HR office
You WILL work overtime while she manages finances
You WILL let her fuck the yoga instructor you’re paying for

My dad and my normie brother say the same shit every fucking day.
>prices are going up
>stock market
>oil
>politics
>Biden this and that
>economy
>the crazy liberals
>green agenda
>blah blah blah
I am so sick of hearing it. I'm not even a libshit. In fact my own opinions are probably a lot more conservative than theirs but why do they have to say the same fucking shit every day. You are never going to change anything anyway. It's so boring, this endless whining.

I don't know if I live in a Lana Del Rey or Aphex Twin song

>>20361119
Whining about current events is 75% of normie communication. Maybe 50% for women, the rest being sex/gossip. I stopped paying attention to politics except bare essentials because I can’t stand the bullshit anymore. Becoming increasingly more content in my inner schizo world of fiction and music, fuck normies.

>>20360921
>Now lit is bitter and negative
>Now
Why do newfags always insist that the board is in decline despite only having just got here?

>>20361139
This is not true. It’s never been great but now it’s just awful

>>20361142
/lit/ has literally always been bitter and negative though regardless of quality.

Im hopeless and suicide is the only solution.

>>20361144
It’s like a /x/, /pol/ and /r9k/ hydra now. It has never been this bad

what's the point of reading books if we're going to die

>>20361150
Yeah... But I’ll stick around to read and write for a while. There are some grievances to settle with short stories, I already have one out there. You should do the same. If you know you’re capable of killing yourself, you got nothing to lose.

>>20361144
Don’t defend the state of the board. It’s pol infested.

>>20361154
>never
Really, never? wanna try again and prove you aren't new as fuck?

>>20361170
Cringe

>>20361150
suicide is pretty hard too

>>20360863
I can't even write what is on my mind.

>>20361179
Someone with more time on their hands go onto warosu and see how many threads and posts relating to lit 100 books there were then versus now. It’s all thinly veiled dog whistle threads now. Anyone with eyes and who doesn’t want to participate in them can see that

>take it easy coming out from neethood they said, work on small goals they said
>tfw it's so slow i think i'll never make it

Athesitbros I'm tired of losing all metaphysics arguments in every thread. We've been trying to call them Christcucks but it doesn't work anymore and we have to admit it's just a cope because we have no grounding for materialism. What the fuck do we do? We've been losing every debate for a while now and we're getting cornered. Do we just go back to r*ddit?

>>20361128
The last few years were the last straw for me. I quit even going to YouTube. Too much bullshit being pushed. Too many ads. I'd rather not know what's happening than believe whatever is being pushed to everybody on any given month.

Yeah. There was a high quality post on Ficino back in January and that's when I knew it was over; it was clearly the peak and final fulfillment of my experience with /lit/ and it was time for me to move on. But I came back and its really, really horrible here now. The wit and self-awareness is gone. There is no insight or good will left to be gained from this place. I can't even believe that for about a year I actually had positive experiences interacting with people here, knowing this damned site. I've been using warosu lately checking on particular topics and I've found that posts were generally better, funnier, etc. going years back and that it got this bad very quickly and relatively recently. I know /lit/ was never good but it is truly getting worse and I don't know if effortposts will even help; they're just too forced at this point. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

>>20361641
Some will defend the quality of the site and say it’s always been like this. They’ll call you a newfag. Ironic. It’s a dire situation when there are more mentions of Evola than Dostoyevsky. I just can’t make the jump to Reddit though

>>20361653
Once in a while you can find a decent post on Reddit but it's almost not worth it. Kind of like here.

>>20361661
I forget if it’s truelit or literature but I’ll lurk once in awhile. They have high level discussion but few posts. Haven’t been there in a bit so I’m unsure how it is now. Lit’s like a drug. You know it’s bad but it’s hard to kick. It’s depressing going on warosu

Im drunk is a ghetto shithole in the midst of household drama. Why is this my life

You don’t take the action to better yourself and your situation. Simple as

I lost my temper today again and had a short but heated argument with my mother. I wanted to hurt her as much as I possible so I said "Go fuck yourself, you fucking cuckquean (female version of cuckhold)." For context, my dad tried to cheat on her a few years ago but she forgave him. It still caused a great deal of pain to her.
I truly dealt a low blow and not sure what the repercussions will be. I just know that I resent my parents for giving birth to me.

>>20361707
Good Lord, why do such a thing to your mother. Repent, my guy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V51Itpvc1Pw

>>20361707
You should never hurt people like this. Even if they aren't good people (and most of the time, people making this judgement call are wrong, and will regret it big time in hindsight, though telling them this in the moment usually can't convince them).

Even if they're truly bad people, pity them and treat them with dignity. Short of that, you really shouldn't do this kind of thing to a mother.

>>20361844
>>20361917
we didn't hear what she did to poor anon that started this

How come we don't see mods or Hiro interacting with this site anymore?

>>20361984
Too much shit to clean up for free.

I'm about to fuck a whore. Some greatest writers have done it. What should I do with the experience?

I’m embarrassed that I have second hand knowledge of some of the shot posted on lit from scrolling through

I truly, truly envy and hate people like Putin or Xi. They who have power are like gods. Xi Jinping literally has the power of life and death over 1.4 billion people; he is the closest any person has come to godhood. Putin controls more land than our ancestors could ever imagine existing. What do they do with it? Squander it in pointless wars, destroy cultures, exploit the hell out of their lands.

And then there's me, a powerless cuck.
>Couldn't save my culture
>Couldn't save my country
>Couldn't save my civilization
>Couldn't save my planet
Born too late to be powerful, born into a family too humble for me to ever touch the stars, born into a declining nation in a collapsing civilization on a world being murdered. I wish I was powerful. I wish I could save what I love.

I've been dry texting this girl so that she stops messaging me but it seems to be doing the opposite effect of what was intended. The only reason why I'm even doing this is because having a conversation with her is nigh impossible as she would suddenly stop replying mid conversation for months and then continue like nothing happens. As I'd much prefer the conversation to end rather than have this intermissions, I just don't want to continue anymore. This happens every time I show even a little iota of interest or effort.
Now that I reply in a monotonous tone and sometimes with a 2 day delay, I'm getting replies nearly instantly. It's like the more aloof I am the more reception I get. This girl isn't the only one though, I've had this situation happen to me 2 times before. I just don't get why it works like this.

>>20362555
I'd just drop her and find someone else. You're not going to click with everyone. Life's too short to get caught up in that. Been there. Done that.

>>20362571
Yeah I know I should just leave it but noticing this behaviour just baffles me. I'm not even interested in her romantically.

>>20360863

If a girl says "call me when you get your shit together" when you ask her to marry you, is she saying:

A) you are too poor
B) you aren't popular enough
C) I don't know what I want

>>20362674
Get your life together you donkey. Have a job that's stable, groom yourself to look presentable and maybe be fit also. Also grow up (mentally).

I have no friends. I don't have a job. I have a license but I don't drive. I'm not confident in my university major. And my anxiety makes me too miserable to do anything about any of this.

>>20360937
no, be my gf plz not his

>>20360944
I guess that not growing up with computers and the internet helps in that regard.

Our American "friends" express concerns that if the 2015 refugee crisis caused such an uproar of right-wing populism in Europe then a hypothetical mass migration from Africa caused by climate changes will lead directly to fascism taking hold over the continent. I do not see why that would be so.
Democracies are perfectly capable of managing migration and even committing atrocities on a large scale against foreigners. The border between India and Bangladesh is littered with minefields and Indian border police employ a "shoot on sight" policy against immigrants. Although that country may not be a shining example of "democracy". So what about America? The United States which pursued, completely democratically, a set of policies that led to the nearly complete genocide of the indigenous North American population. The United States, which for a long time had the strictest immigration quotas and let only people from European countries embark upon its shores.
Establishing a fascist dictatorship is hard, implementing anti-immigrant policies with the support of the populace is easy. We do not need a Führer to strip foreigners of their rights. Some economists have already suggested that the most rational approach to migration is to make immigrants into second-class citizens. Since their increase their welfare several times at the expense of the native population, there ought to be redistribution from their profits to the local people's losses.
Israel, a democratic country, employs 700km wall to separate its citizens from the occupied territories of the west bank. The borders of Greece and Bulgaria with Turkey have a combined length of only 460km. Is it so hard to imagine a similar solution here?

My back hurts, I have a stoop. My nose is always congested and leaking. I feel dazed, slow, out to lunch almost all of the time. I think they call that brain fog. I am a mouthbreather with little arms and a pot belly. My hairline is receding and hair comes away in my hands. I cough up phlegm every morning. My stool is loose and black. I feel like I have no energy, and its an effort just to stand, so I spend the day in bed. The medication makes my skin dry out and I can't stop myself from itching it. My hands and neck are all red. I've been on SSRI's for a while. I shouldn't mix them with alcohol, but I do anyways. My eyelids droop. They make me look very blasé and tired. I can't stop myself from eating a little bit of chapstick because I like the way it smells. I don't eat anything all day then in the evening I pig out. I don't drink water, except for when I take my medication, four kinds of pills. I have a vitamin b deficiency and cystic acne. Hard carbuncles on my head that don't really pop, as much as I try to do so. My spine is S-shaped, making my gut stick out, and giving me forward posture I think. I have had a heart attack. Heart disease runs in my family, and multiple family members died already from it. One of them at a relatively early age. I want to flee my body. It weighs a lot but I feel like I can escape it for a moment when I go on the computer. I go on the computer all day, only taking breaks to eat and sleep, and sometimes shower. Every time I get off the computer I am reminded of my body, and the little time I bought myself surfing the net, where I felt separated from it, feels all the more ridiculous. I wish there didn't have to be a separation, that I could ditch my body entirely. I can lose myself for a time, but my body's complaints always win out in the end, and I find myself satisfying them with a great feeling of disgust, when I have to look at and feel myself again, and realize that I was only distracting myself from reality. I have a decent inheritance, so I am thinking of retreating to a one-room apartment somewhere and drinking myself to death. My life is stupid. There's nothing artistic about it, since that's the one rule art has, it shouldn't be stupid. Thanks for reading my blog

I wish life wasn't so full of doubts, everything cripples me with anxiety

I was hanging out and talking today with this girl who I'm into and am fairly certain is into me. When, suddenly, one of her friends (Let's call her B) comes up to us and tells her that maybe she'd want to sit with her other friend since B apparently had to go now. The girl I was with gave a non-answer and just wished her goodbye (in the polite, girly, way).

We then resumed our conversation but was soon interrupted again by another one of her friends (Let's call her A) who came to us and asked her to help her with some work. Even though it was at the end of a Friday already. The girl I was with, sadly, agreed to help her and so she went away and didn't return until she told me she had to go and that she'll just see me next week.

One thing I've noticed also with her two friends is that they didn't seem to care or notice at all that I was there hanging out with her. Well, C though I feel like has some sort of disdain towards me cause I sometimes catch her just staring at me. They just kinda butted in and took her away. Also, interestingly enough, this hasn't really happened before at all until now.

Are her friends trying to get in between us or am I just being paranoid?

Asked this on /adv/ but I also wanted to get my /lit/bros take on the matter.

is there a name for this disease where North American cities feel the need to build a massive condo/apartment block plumb in the center of downtown

>>20363437
It is impossible to give a correct answer with so little information about the social context. If you want to find out you ought to talk to more people irl or keep chasing that girl and see if her friends keep trying to push you away. In my opinion, the general principle in such situations is to assume the worst. But do not let if bother you, even if a conspiracy exists it cannot be fought back with brute force.
I reason it is a very good sign that she chose to hang out with you instead of making company to her friend or inviting her to join your conversation.

Can anyone recommend any other website where I might waste my time on?
I refresh the catalog for hours and I learn nothing here, and I’m not even entertained.
If I’m going to spend so much time on the internet I at least want to learn something.
My interests are
Learning Mandarin
Cultures from around the world (subcultures and cults includes)
Urban exploration
Pools, Ferris wheels and abandoned theme parks
I’m open to websites, forums and YouTube channels on those topics, basically anywhere else where I might waste my time on and actually learn something

le divine madness

Catholics would allow romantic relationships with aliens. Aristotelian Thomism considers 3 species: plants, animals, and rational animals. If the alien life had equivalent rationality of humans, then in Aristotelian Thomism they would be part of the same species as human, so we must accord the same principles as humans to aliens including eros.

>>20364211
>Urban exploration

Check those guys that explore abandoned mines on YouTube, it's always pretty fun.

I just watched that Arcane show on Netflix.

It was really good, I greatly enjoyed it.

The animation is amazing, the story is actually very good, lots of genuinely sad moments, the combat scenes are just great, a lot of character development from every single character, lots of details to notice everywhere, even the main bad guy is not just completely goofy and becomes very likable in some way and I felt sad when he died and that black city councillor girl has the most perfect and delicious mouth and lips I've ever seen.

>>20364405
you should watch Atlanta

>>20364422
What is good about it?
I have never heard of it but it seems to be about black American rappers, which is not something that really interests me.
But then again, I really don't care about League of Legends and the fact that Arcane is a spinoff of that is one of the reasons I had not watche dit before.

uhh.. I love you so much bros..

and it makes me upset that it seems to me we haven't grown as a community since the last summer. the horizon is solidified and it blocks the excess of love to move around. as if it is wrong with loving something smol and thrown away like even here we are to play the worldly game. if you ask me I count it to be devotional in the highest sense, that is — to love and to bring light not because the market dictates you but just because it comes organic. loving, shitposting, striving at deep interpretations and all in the spirit of joy. bros..... I adore shitposting so much it is unbelievable. I do not lie, I'm absolutely euphoric when a shitpost is non-linear, when it is Biblical. when it is screaming. when it doesn't want to engage in violence forcing a view-point but is purely justified in itself. when there is nothing to argue about. when it is truth in the last instance. an ultimatum of a shitpost nailed.

its incredible how much less i come to this thread/board/site when i am happy. i hope you are all able to find your solace someday.

More than ever it’s apparent that /lit/ needs to have a branch off board created for religious, political and magical books

As I grow older I'm talking more and more with myself. Very often walking down the street I just to myself out loud. Am I going crazy or is normal?

>>20364947
Never said anything against it. It’s those topics that are clogging up a literature board. I come here for books; I guess that means I’m retarded

>>20364972
You added 'magical books' because you're an edgy atheist

>>20364983
I wasn’t talking about the Bible. I mean occult and esoteric books. Hell, some topics and books mentioned here have the word magic in the title.

>>20364971
I do the very same. Argue with myself out loud.

You suggested a board for both religion and magic, so you lumped them together. There's already a board for politics.

there should be a board for christianity. not for religions and not for philosophy, just for christianity.

There should be a board for sex

>>20365041
Way to nitpick. You know what I mean. A board for each. Happy now?

>>20365078
Well at least you don't sound like an edgy fedora. But no, I don't agree with you. If it's a book, it belong on /lit/. Saying certain book topics don't belong on /lit/ is silly. And the mystical subculture on /lit/ has been here for many years, I don't really see what's wrong with it. Bible is very loved here, and politics, well, it's 4chan.

>>20365108
Discussing the Bible’s literary merits and it’s religious merits are two different things. The former is how the Bible impacted literature. The latter is dogmatic practices. It’s easy to tell the two apart

>>20365124
Well most of /lit/ is spiritual as observed in many polls along the years, so it's you who doesn't belong really because you're spiritually hollow and seemingly bitter too.

>>20365136
Nice projection. I read plenty of spiritual books, Bible included. Why don’t you want your own board?

>>20365070
You shameless hussy

>>20365169
I do want a board for religion, but I don't think it's needed. /lit/ is already a slow board and I enjoy reading about philosophy, religion, poetry, and classical languages in one place.

>>20365197
Then they need to make a new literature board. Idk what they’d call it, though. There is definitely crossover territory, and I don’t mind seeing those topics discussed here and there, but scroll through the catalog. I

>Chelsea takes photos of me as I stand in the book signing line, clutching books written by all three authors, and then I am asked the question everyone before me has also been asked: are you a writer, too? It occurs to me that the cooler answer would be no, that it is cooler to read poetry without the pretension of calling myself a writer, especially given that I have yet to be published.

>I am a fan of fanfiction in the least transformative sense: I have never written it or even left a comment or a “kudos,” but I am a devoted reader of Archive of Our Own, a popular fan-created fanfiction website. For example, for this essay, for research purposes, I finally read the most “kudos”-ed Harry Potter fanfiction, a 526,962 word saga by MsKingBean89 titled All the Young Dudes, narrating Remus’ and Sirius’ love story from childhood to wartime. I love the work for its meticulous character development and for the way it thoughtfully embeds queerness into a world originally created by J.K. Rowling, whose “disgusting transphobic views” are explicitly denounced by MsKingBean89.

I'm looking for a book I stumbled upon a long time ago. Its a British novel that came out in the latter half of the 20th century and is about a man who works on a meat packing or meat scrap line. He has an incestuous (or otherwise uncomfortable) relationship with his mother who is crippled.
I found it by searching "the most messed book of all time" in google in 2011 or so. It showed up along with Naked Lunch

Stop encouraging people to be losers

The flexible are preserved unbroken.
The bent become straight.
The empty are filled.
The exhausted become renewed.
The poor are enriched.
The rich are confounded.

Therefore the sage embraces the one.
Because he doesn’t display himself, people can see his light.
Because he has nothing to prove, people can trust his words.
Because he doesn’t know who he is, people recognize themselves in him.
Because he has no goal in mind, everything he does succeeds.

Is a crossdresser someone who likes to dress like the opposite sex? I know someone who does this and he's happy and married (with an ex Suicide Girl). If you don't want to do it, then you just have to control your urges. What's your problem?

Yeah. Its just bogging my mind on why I have this fetish.

You are part of a macrotrend. How does that make you feel?

My girlfriend lives in America, I live in Europe. She's just visited Europe, now I'm visiting America. When she visited, she repeatedly got drunk and said we should get "Green Card married" so we can live together in America. I would have no problem spending a very long time with her, and her obviously with me. She said she wants something long-term, and I'm happy to move to the US. But we've only known each other less than a year. What am I supposed to do? It just seems too big a step, even though I don't have a problem with the commitment itself

Do some exercising. Physical labor is a good break from too much mental strain.

In today's world you're either an incel or a tranny. Which one are you?

I would still wait with the big decision, sounds to me she might be rushing into things cause she really wants your dick.

This is 100% intellectually compatible with queer/gender theory

Nothing, do not let genetics autists dictate your life. Physiognomy is the enlightened man's way of selecting friends and partners.
>What am I supposed to do?
Wait a 3-4 more months, propose to her and then delay the actual marriage for a year or more if you are still not sure.

>>20368067
I only met her in November of last year, do you reckon that's long enough together to realistically be contemplating marriage? Obviously it was more than enough in previous times but I don't really know what's right these days. Is it crazy of her to have said it, even? Or actually kind of a good sign?

>>20368097
What's your age?

Nottingham Ninjas watch out, "they" are comin home... vroom vroom VROOOOOOOOM YEP it's Freddy McQuacker, head of the Cardiff Capes. The light on his sunglasses moves like a Samurais blade as he turns his head towards me. "WHERE ARE THE NINJAS?" the old man screams at me while the vein on his temple is doing a workout. "Stop screaming at me you stink bro lmao" - Maybe it was the lively atmosphere, the sunshine and the noise that made me impulsively commit the biggest mistake of my entire life. No one plays with McQuacker.

What happens next?

>>20368097
Marriage in this age is something fickle and transient. Regardless of how you believe things ought to be, this is how they are. As such half a year together sounds quite appropriate to begin contemplating it. Raising a child is the actual dealer sealer. A proper marriage contract can be dissolved relatively painlessly, children do not go away.
In your situation the geographical distance is most concerning. Living together and managing the day to day affairs of a household is the true test of a lifetime relationship. And if you move to the US and things do not work out I'd imagine you'd suffer some financial and career losses going back to Europe.
>Is it crazy of her to have said it, even? Or actually kind of a good sign?
You tell me man, you was there. But the way you are describing it, it sounds like a good sign. I mean if she's talking about it openly even when sober... take the fucking hint.

Tech-illiterate anon here. Didn't feel like this deserves its own thread so I'm asking here.
How do I go about downloading ebooks from libgen or z-lib, etc, and getting them onto my eReader? I was gifted a kobo libra 2 not long ago and I really like it. Just looking to expand my library without breaking the bank; I've bought a few ebooks already but fugg do they add up.

Is it as simple as hooking it up to my laptop and transfering files from there? Or am I missing something.

>>20368171
Please don't tell me you are a journalist...

>>20368264
Kobo libra supports all the most popular e-book formats so yes, it is as simple as transferring the files from your PC to the device.

>>20367749
I would wait. It's a really risky move for a relationship less than a year old. If things don't work out, then you're in a foreign land all by yourself. Just voice your concerns to her and she'll probably understand

Is your childhood anything special? For me it's pretty straightforward, lost my father figure when I was 4 (not a nigger he just died of sickness), didnt even remember much about him, grew up surrounded by mother, grandmother and aunt. Used to steal and wear my mom's panties when I was 8 - 9 until one day I almost got caught. Luckily I wasnt borned in America or else I would get groomed into become a tranny now.

I watched Freddy Got Fingered and a common theme is showcasing how humans lose themselves into these different modes of being by using absurd humor. Just deconstruction but I can't live with that. I can't accept that this is how reality is structured while I'm still able to suffer. I'm realizing the inconsistencies of my being, of some of the things that give my life meaning, but I can't escape the pain. So I have to pretend I don't know

You can't look at boards in a vacuum. Rain on one board makes a puddle that splashes on another. A storm on this website is sure to cause a flood on whatever alternative comes next, if the walls are let down. It's not just /pol/ or zoomers. This whole website is now such an anomaly that it must be intentionally fuelled by institutional interest - that factor alone is bound to have noticible consequences in the quality, or, 'kind' of discourse at some point. Thus any decline you are noticing is the result of concerted efforts from autonomous groups. You are probably 'too old' (not just in age) to spend time here in naive ernest. It's a place for fucking around of all sorts, but not the kind of fucking around for someone who wants to be seen a serious father (to serious ideas.) It's still ok if you don't fancy yourself too good to go without a membership card you can show off, and if you're really good at asking questions, there's always the archives. That might be what it comes down to. Maybe some people hate anonymity so much because they can't effectively use it to gain leverage for themselves. In fact, good discussion is such a gay and decadent desire. Good discussion is owed to *time*, not to a place. The times up for dribbling.
