/lit/ - Literature

Why is /his/ such an insufferable shithole ?

[Anonymous No.13887195]

It fell to the stormfront hordes, which is slowly happening to /lit/.

They are trolling.
The problem with /his/ is that they don't know either history or humanities but like to pretend they do. It would probably be better if it turned into /pol/ with dates, at least /pol/acks have more of an interesting in studying what they don't know than /his/ does.

/his/ was created post-moot. It’s always been an artificial board desu

Thanks for bringing the cancer here.

[Anonymous No.13887712]

There definitely are some ridiculously stupid people that go there. I think a good part of it is because of the nature of the topic and how it's covered in the media. Everybody has an opinion on various historical events but not many people do their homework. But because there's so many Youtube videos and podcasts it's enough to give confidence to the ignorant which leads them to talk about what they don't know.

There does seem to be a disproportionate amount of bad thinkers though. People that don't know how to argue or express themselves. It's the only board where I regularly find Jesus mythicists and people that accept scientism.

[Anonymous No.13887752]

>>13887236
I used to think that about /pol/

[Anonymous No.13887807]

>>13887195
I don't think so, this place seems to be becoming genuinely more Catholic as time goes on.

I think most of the people who go on /pol/ don't visit us here, and when they do they really stick out.

[Anonymous No.13887815]

Has anyone here actually been on /his/ long-term?

It's nothing but racial theory and about how this country or that country is or isn't "white". Honestly pathetic.

[Anonymous No.13887821]

Nah they just meme a few threads. The problem is the ASS mods, it's a rdt outpost. Basically ptg for the humanities.

The fact that this place “seems to be becoming genuinely more Catholic as time goes on” (I haven’t really noticed it myself, definitely not catholic, maybe less atheistic) is anyway a sign of the ongoing mental retardation which op pointed out.

You've got it backwards Newfie, /lit/ used to be way more Catholic than it is now.

The patron saint of Catholics on /pol/ is Guinean.

I agree, but I think part of his problem is that he makes himself out to be very accessable because he is so charming that you get a bunch of small brains that haven't even read Marx or Hegel pretend to be "fans" of his.

Sargon actively lies.

Whenever he cites scientific research, he can be debunked by reading the research itself. No man can be that dense, so it is definitely dine on purpose.

Don't know the middle one and I've seen a few from Philosophy tube before he decided to become contrapoints

[Anonymous No.13888045]

>>13887189
I find it sad too. I am really into history, but most of the posts are just bait. We get bait here too, but not at the same level, and there is usually at least 1 person who discusses things modestly well.

[Anonymous No.13888053]

>>13888014
Legit question, I can't be the only person who noticed the recent upswings in shitposting seems to directly corresponded with the democrats making a fool out of themselves with regards to this Ukraine business?

That or I've finally succumb to the /pol/ disease.

epic sword battles and le emu war appeal to a younger demographic. zoomers love that boogaloo bullshit. comes as no surprise

[Anonymous No.13888064]

The quality of /lit/ has fallen dramatically ever since Peterson got famous. The hordes of /pol/tards are so bad that no discussion can ever be had. The discourse quality is down the drain (even for 4chan). A year ago people at least pretended to read books. Now it's trying to "own the libs", but also mentioning some philosopher they haven't read to appear smart.

>ever since Peterson got famous.
I agree, he made a lot of losers' closeted anger spew out. "How dare this man makes moneys when I'm better read than him and smarter! My life is going nowhere!"

/lit/ should embrace their personal failures, like /a/ or /r9k/. Else, the board will just devolve into /pol/ - /leftypol/ shit.

[Anonymous No.13888241]

Because 4chan is a cesspool of society's dumbest. You're only still here because there's nothing else.

You don't have to be pessimistic to think this website is genuinely awful to the extent of being harmful.

Uh, yes you do.

That is THE definition of pessimism. Jesus Christ, you're making the site worse and I don't think you realize how. Fix your perception :3

Sometimes I wish I had the spare change and know-how to make my own humanities-chan with zero tolerance for /pol/-tier arguments (you can be a fascist for all I care but fuck fascists on here have no interest in actual philosophy.)

Even 420chan has better phil and book discussion than here.
