>> No.12340191

People on this board are so VAIN that they posture over books they pretend to have read, ANONYMOUSLY. That's right, they are trying to signal social standing with posts that can never be connected to any other one they post, or them as a person—THE ONLY PERSON THEY COULD POSSIBLY BE POSTURING TO IS THEMSELVES! Every single thread on a book will include a green-text of the book name attached with a disgusted looking Harold Bloom (who they, of course, haven't read). THAT'S HOW PEOPLE ARGUE HERE. They just post a smug "ohh I can't believe you'd read something like THAT" or "*snicker* you actually think THAT?" with no context. I'm convinced that no one has actually read a book on this board, they've just memorized names and faces and vague ideas associated with them, and just bounce the same baseless conceptions back and forth between each other until it forms a board wide gestalt consciousness of pseud. Like, someone here could show you the most obscure portrait of Kant looking like a negro-goblin, a wacky anecdote about coffee or his masturbation habits, but ask them anything about his actual philosophy and you will get TOTAL SILENCE. Ask about an entry-level book, TOTAL SILENCE; ask about a basic grammar concept, TOTAL. SILENCE. Ask which author had the biggest forehead, 100+ REPLIES WITH THE MOST BITTER ARGUMENTS IMAGINABLE. How ANYBODY could think this place the last bastion of literary culture is unimaginable. This board is the theoretical zero-point of Intelligent discussion on the internet.

I don't really think it's worth it. Most people here are literally just basic bitch liberals pretending to be anti-capitalist while also arguing about how you need to support small businesses and publishers (even though they get all their books on Amazon or pirate them). For all the snark this place has about the various circle jerk variations on leftism, the closest you get to anyone actually being willing to engage with a real discussion of ideas is when someone posts a link to a contrapoints or shaun jen video where they "debunk" a video by some (usually neo-con/libertarian) they refuse to actually have a conversation/debate with because they'd be platforming a fascist. The level of cognitive dissonance here can be genuinely impressive, and the speed at which they switch from pretending to be against capitalism, to being one hundred percent in support of capitalism so long as it's #wokecapital, is jarring at times.

Most places are dishonestly optimistic about things. They don't give you honest advice or feedback about what you're trying to improve on, they just give you unnecessary flattery and "constructive criticism" that is totally useless because they're afraid of getting in trouble for being too mean. So 4chan and other websites like it try to be "real" by being excessively pessimistic and claiming that they're just realists who refuse to sugar coat it. This is often coupled with zealously deterministic views to prove that they are "objective." Every board has some old-ass book you're supposed to read to "REALLY understand the subject" (SICP, Starting Strength, Loomis, etc.) and then once you do that and set off to try and learn to program/get /fit//draw/whatever the board devolves into a circlejerk about how the book is a meme and that you could never EVER make it because you haven't been doing it since age 5. Most of the people saying this do not actually believe it, but say it anyway because ingrained tall poppy syndrome stemming from personal struggles to learn and improve makes it feel good to knock down some poor schmuck a few pegs when he didn't really do anything to deserve it. You'll notice the most critical and rude people in critique threads across all boards are always the type to avoid posting their own work.
