Post-grad thread? I'm 6 months into my history phd and

You have to read actual history books to be a (post)grad history student; you can't cite YouTube videos or charts from /pol/. Besides, as /pol-with-dates/ there's a lot of conspiracies about academia here.

So that'd be a no then?
I haven't spent a lot of time on /his/ because every time I look at the catalog it's a crapshoot of Hitler, racism and varying flavours of Christianity threads.
There doesn't seem to be a lot of accurate historical knowledge being shared, just a lot of faux-history being used to justify political feelings.

Pretty shitty.

Yes, and instead of trying to better the board you make some pseudo-blog thread to bitch about how shit the board is.
If you're the average representation of someone "knowledgeable", I'd much rather take an enthusiastic amateur.

I've been commenting in other threads and doing exactly as you said and trying to better the board.
Nah, most academics are super polite and will bend over backwards to be good natured and debate nicely.

But this is 4chan and I'm grumpy today.

It's a history board but it's still a 4chan history board.

Unironically go to reddit if you want to have meaningful with specific demographics such as history majors working in a relevant field after graduation. You can see from the board that you won't find those people to talk to, especially with such a large proportion of the board being anti-academia and trying to sabotage and derail the thread.

>but liberals
Only the main subforums are liberal cucknests, other low population or specific subforums will be politically neutral through mod enforcement, or at least will try to be if you're polite and articulate your points well enough.
