>>38686
All I'm asking is where the theory-related discussions at, and how can we move forward form the yoke of monumental history the west has become so addicted to.

currently busy reading actual historical documents

in the long run this board will be run by people who know what they're talking about, like /lit/. still in the grace period for now

>>38686
Fucking this. The entire internet is full of places where liberals can circle jerk. this place is already turning into a proto-reddit-/leftypol/ shithole. /his/ is rightful libertarian clay

> and how can we move forward form the yoke of monumental history the west has become so addicted to
Fucking kek.

Post-structuralist intellectual nihilism completely dominates Western civilisation since 1968 silencing all opposition, and yet you faggots still need to pretend like you're the rebels resisting against some imaginary authoritarian modern philosophy that hasn't existed for half a century.

Thank God this shit is finally dying.

>>38722
There's been plenty so far, it just so happens that by "theory-related" discussions and "yet another conservative-oriented board" you're sounding like you want a hug box.

History is the use of logic and conclusions based on primary sources.

>>38664
>Is this doomed to be yet another conservative-oriented board?

No. Historiography is dominated by marxist historiography and the reactions to it.

>American historiography and its regulatory institutions, such as the AHA, are still hung up on the collectivist aspect of history.

You've got to be fucking kidding. The AHA is a stalwart of promoting bourgeois liberalism.

>Are there any post-structuralist historians here? Where my post-marxist bros at?

Reread Thompson and Hill until you understand what's going on.

While there's stormweenies and SJWs alike on this board, that's part of its appeal. You have all schools of thought represented here so far, rather than being an echochamber of one of the other.

That said, revisionism is one of the most disappointing schools of history ever, as it's just a means to hijack actual facts for political agenda. Repurposing reality for one's own end.

Stfu and talk about history. Don't just whine about the board.

This is now a historical migrations thread. /his/torians, why do you think England became more Germanic than France or Spain, even though all of them were invaded by Germanic tribes all the same?

Revisionism isn't a school of history, it is the process where the discipline reworks itself and its old assumptions by returning to the archive.

/r/history is that way >

I hope this board can be the kind of place where the use of the terms like fucktard, libtard, libkek and whatever pejorative the left uses to insult conservatives etc. can be avoided.

However, having looked at the thread where people share 'obscure' pieces of history the general level of historical knowledge seems fairly basic, so it I doubt this place we be that riveting.

>>38836
Not really, I'd rather have debate than unilateral distillation of information and the illusory 'conflicts' historians contend with to mask any trace of critical theory. History is an exercise in torturing meaning and creating a semantics of ontology. Cobban is a good example of this, as are pretty much most modern historians whose sole focus is rehabilitation.

>>38840
kek EP Thompson, alright marxfag.

And I completely disagree with your assessment of the AHA when I've heard horror stories of doctoral candidates about having papers turned away because the board they submitted to felt there was too much theoretical language in papers that probed subjects like gender studies.

>>38686
Honestly, we need it more than another /pol/. Ideally, a board should have every sort of opinion and perspective, especially history, but boards tend to take an assumed identity after it forms. I don't want this to be another place where people just condemn Jews and pat themselves on the back.

Especially if humanities is included in the discussion, holy shit.

>>38942
This shows that you only go to like, two boards. Lurk moar

>>38835

Damn bro, harsh. why don't you just fuck his mother while you're at it.

Hopefully /pol/ faggotry will die down when the shiny new toy stops being so shiny.

Inevitably it will be a conservative place, but hopefully it won't be anti-intellectual like /pol/ and it will feature fair discussion of a wide range of topics where shitposts are ignored and conversation can take place about anything based in fact and not usual contrarian 4chan attitude.

Honestly though, the only thing that can save this board is people demanding sources for the shit others spout. If it gets reduced to name-calling and racism then it will all go to shit.

>>38664

I agree, "obscure" seems to mean that "had I actually read Zinn I would have already realised this was really well fucking known."

Now let's talk about proto-capitalism in post King war maori economic networks with particular reference to the transnational hardwood trade and San Francisco floorboards.

Yes that was an excellent conference paper I heard.

>>38996
But it's overtaken many historians to the point where editing history like autocorrect on a fucking phone is the norm. I believe in skepticism, but the way people do it within history is overboard, especially because it's often for new assumptions overtaking old facts.

>implying history, like most academic disciplines, doesn't reflect the cultural unconscious
>implying any attempt to reconcile narrative linearity with truth isn't a desperate gesture aimed at recovering the lost object of knowledge and origination
>implying history isn't just layered discussions upon layered discussions and referential/symbolic interjections

Can anyone think of a single reason why discussions of history might at all be relevant outside of hobbyism to anyone who isn't a consequentialist?

>>39005
>And I completely disagree with your assessment of the AHA when I've heard horror stories of doctoral candidates about having papers turned away because the board they submitted to felt there was too much theoretical language in papers that probed subjects like gender studies.

I think your point supports my claim precisely that the AHA is a stalwart of liberal bourgeois ideology. The AHA line is that history is detheorised.

By the way, the narrative turn was a waste of fucking time for anyone who had bothered to independently learn hermeneutics.

>>39065
>mentioned /pol/ twice

Jesus christ, shut the fuck up.

Since this board has been alive I think I can count posts that are crazy /pol/ loons on one hand. The amount of fucking posts bitching ABOUT /pol/ are in every damn thread, usually multiple times.

If you are that scared of /pol/ perhaps you need to find a new website.

>>39111
The fact that there are several opposing opinions and factions in regards to how history is viewed isn't a valid excuse to not try and reconcile those differences.

And honestly, this kind of post is 99% of the time preceded by someone being called a libtard or some other variation.

>>39155

>>39091
>But it's overtaken many historians to the point where editing history like autocorrect on a fucking phone is the norm. I believe in skepticism, but the way people do it within history is overboard, especially because it's often for new assumptions overtaking old facts.

You think we should rework old themes already published? Part of the attempt to claim "great strides in disciplinary advancement" is an attempt to market rich fuckwit's PhD theses. You can particularly see this in the turn to "transnational history." The other part of this is an attempt to deny history from below in any way imaginable, despite it being the implicit logic and outcome of documenting the past.

>>38888
I think it's easier to push someone back across a border than it is to stick them on a boat and make them go back to where they came from.

>>38888

>>39197
I think that no particular loyalty should be held to a single source, no matter how in-depth or immersive it is in detailing an account. That said, I don't think modern ideas, convictions, or outlooks should influence it any further than naming it- that's why we have terms like feudalism, empire, and confederation- and instead compare and contrast with other sources. You examine and judge by context, but said context should be formed mainly by the framework of primary sources.

>>39329
>conclusions follow from the premises
Pure ideology.

>>39018
>Ideally, a board should have every sort of opinion and perspective
Good luck, I sure hope you guys are competitive enough for that.

You can have one or the other.

If you're complaining about /pol/aks here, then perhaps you should really start trying harder in expanding your leftist propaganda even more than before, because this can only be caused by a lack of effort.

Come do the job yourself, and don't whine about /pol/ coming here and doing your job for you, then complaining about how left out you are.

If you can't really do it, then I am thankful, for the left is left behind again.

>>38888
>why do you think England became more Germanic than France or Spain, even though all of them were invaded by Germanic tribes all the same?

Nice quads.

England became more Germanic because while urban culture mostly survived in some form or another on the continent, in England organised society disintegrated and Christianity greatly declined. Pagan Germanic culture became ascendant for two centuries until Christianity "reconquered" England.

>>39634
>It is also a great paper to bring up whenever anyone attacks continental obscuritanism
That amounts to hand-waving though. The fact that you can engage in funny projects with philosophy doesn't say anything at all about the merit or import of philosophy as a whole.

Religion and philosophy are. History is permeated with leftism. It's why Jared Taylor is so popular in university.

Pic related.

The reason why history, like other humanities, have become left-leaning of late, is because intellectuals have begun to organize as a caste aiming at reaching political power. The political power of intellectuals as a caste is better achieved through left-wing politics such as Marxism and progressivism. That's why /lit/ is so leftist, because leftism gives them power, not because they are so smart.

When historians were a bunch of people in love with their profession, instead of wannabe revolutionaries, they were mostly conservative people.

A board should be shaped by those who use it not by what you fucking want it to be in some ideal sense. If more people want to talk about Nazi libriterism lizard people topics its should be that. If more people want to talk about Marxist butplug topics then it should be that.

Personally i like the sort of battle ground of ideas it is right now, but I recognize that isn't sustainable.

You know technically there is nothing preventing any idea group from taking any board over any board other than dissent and shitposting. There is no rule preventing people from being liberal and posting liberal things on /pol/ besides the wall of dissent and shitposting that follows. And quite frankly if your ideas are so fragile that they can't withstand people disagreeing with them or are driven out with shitposting then they won't stay survive on this board, or anywhere on this site for that matter and they don't deserve to.

>>39370

have you BEEN to /r/politics ?

History doesn't fit neatly into any ideological paradigm. I don't care who you voted for or what kind of revolution you want; stuff that makes the people you like look bad happened.

Also applying post-structuralist methodology to fields outside literature gets you shit like the Sokal Hoax in the sciences, and Holocaust denial and Afrocentrism in history and the humanities. It's woo, pure and simple.

sokal, like chomsky, renders the entire territoy of theory as non-falsifiable and thus for some reason completely invalid. not to mention that sokal's papers were unbearably simple and repetitive. his only grip was literally the use of mathemes in theoretical work because they didn't accurately reflect their disciplinary usage in other fields. if the idiocy of his complaint doesn't strike you then i'm afraid there's no hope. again, sokal's exclusive gripe is with the mathematical use of concepts in theory that rendered it obscurantists, nothing beyond that. he didn't understand theory, he didn't engage with it, he never sought to expand or contract it or even criticize any particular theory, just the use of mathemes. even sokal himself said he didn't have the interest or authority to deliberate on the entire body of the theory he was extricating the mathematical 'misuse' from. his interests were never to discredit, because he simply has no stake in critical theory or psychoanalysis or whatever. please get informed before you start spewing.

His gripe was that there was no "theory" - that he could publish literal nonsense in post-structuralist journals if he threw in the right buzzwords, and that these journals were incapable of figuring out that they were being punked, and unwilling to refrain from publishing something they genuinely didn't understand. He's not just calling it non-falsifiable, he's calling it incoherent pseudoacademia that can be used to justify literally anything, even screeds as "meaningful" as time cube.

And he's right.

Maybe there's no dichotomy if you're blind and/or retarded.

Conservatives tend to be better historians than liberals, as they are less concerned with interpreting history to fit a particular, modern, narrative. The worst revisionists on university campuses today are "progressive" leftist historians. I've always felt that the study of history always lent itself toward conservatism, as it makes one question change for change's own sake.

Then they link to websites that support their own ideology.
And 8 hour YouTube "documentaries" which nobody with a real job or is in college has time to watch.
The problem is that debunking revisionist bullshit typically takes over 1000 characters, so 4chan literally is built to encourage mindless circlejerking, where whoever has the shortest arguments win. That's how they thrive: they appeal to short-sighted, small-minded people with simple arguments their minds can easily entertain and look no further.
It's almost like a cult indoctrination.
Hopefully the mods will remove the 1000 character limit so some intelligent discussions can take place.

Im a farleft anarchist, but Ive come to realize that communism is even more dangerous than state-regulated capitalism, if it is on the wrong hands.
Seeing the SJW scourge the world is going through, the sudden pro-immigrant status quo, Ive realized that the elite are starting to move to their end game, and thats the supposed "communism" with them on the top.
For that reason I have been fighting alot with my family (leftists/anarchists, not SJW shit tho), challenging their beliefs: even though I align with them, I want them to support communism on its basis and ideology, not simply because "its the best, everyone equal etc.etc.". Otherwise when the SJW scourge reaches my country they are gonna suddenly find themselves fighting for the elites, not against them.

>>42475
I'm not interested in history except as a hobby. History as a discipline has virtually nothing to do with the philosophy I engage in - it's irrelevant. I'm neither a consequentialist, nor a pragmatist, nor even someone who takes anything containing inductive premises all that seriously.

I'm not concerned with politics *at all*. I'm pointing out there *IS* a dichotomy as a *logical* point. Insofar one counts violence and peace (authoritarian vs libertarian) as a dichotomy, virtually all of the contemporary 'left vs right' distinctions represent a real dichotomy along that spectrum. They simply DO.

Every single Marxist philosopher after Karl Kautsky died is anti-Marxist in some way. Marxism is better understood as a intellectual culture that unifies all these different revolutionary intellectuals than as a scientific method, because let's be honest, it failed in that sense when WWI failed to provoke a worldwide proletarian revolution.

Besides, praxis theory can justify any departure from Orthodox Marxism as "in the interests of the revolution".

>>42695
Well, yes, that would be nice. But unless working class praxis is grounded in the least worst accounts of the past as it was to the extent we understand the documentary record of the past such a thing would be impossible. My ideology demands my veracity, rather than encouraging lies.

just because they're popular subjects of academic dissection doesn't mean they are regulatory ideals. the fact remain that the assemblage of structural positivism is what drives the examination of these topics and also gives form to their use. binding it so conveniently to a consensus-laden, pseudo-exploratory field, like history, doesn't necessarily suggest any sort of radical reasoning or governance.

This is true as well. In fact it is commendable to draw ideology from historical precedent and not wild uneducated conjectures. However, ideology is easy to compartmentalize, especially in the study of sources. People who cannot distance themselves from their ideology when engaged in study of something that should have no ideological influence, such as history, are not fit to be historians and do not deserve the title.

>>42695
Using history to justify ideology is logically sound. The problem is trying to justify history with ideology, which was what I was complaining about.

yet you're still falling for the trap of objectivity. it's impossible to distance yourself sufficiently in order to have a completely innocuous, disinterested relation to the object of study. the object itself is born form the bias of the spectator or the viewer who seeks it out. historiography and the epistemology of history is essentially meno's paradox materialized.

>>42970

Rejecting your society's ideology is as important as rejecting your own. Saying it is difficult to reject is not a license to abandon attempts to provide true information and interpretations based on actual facts, nor a license for cherrypicking as opposed to seeing the big picture.

if they (or whoever left-leaning, for that matter) have a complete idea for communism as a system in their minds and they can actually defend their stance in arguments, they can also defend themselves from today's self-entitled SJW-infested scourge that comes under the guise of communism.

Not at all. Bastiat and Manchester both came after the initial surge of liberalism which was focused on the Rights of Man.

SJWs use toxic tactics, trying more to destroy their opposition than defend their position.

>Dividing the working class
Instead of working to connect and empower the working class as a whole (as a true communist would aspire to do), they are causing its dividing, under bullshit pretences. White/Black, cis/trance, male/female, etc. Feminists fought for the equality of male/female, black rights activists fought for the equality of white/black. SJWs are now trying to divide again, based on the amount of "privilige" somebody has.

As I said in my posts, i'm not liberal and I have not studied it, so I could be very wrong.
Here's what I'm thinking: Liberals want as little statism as possible (hence the anarchy part), and they want the economical part of capitalism (without intervention of the state), hence the capitalist part.
As I said, I could be wrong somewhere. I'm 100% sure however that liberalism != SJWs, whether its anarcho-capitalism or not.

>>44139
I assume you're aware of the failure of the attempt to determine a master signifier in structuralism and the resultant move to post-structuralism in text analyses?

History had this much earlier in the concept of "bias" and "indeterminacy" of documents. Our reading methodology is why we accept a lot more "slop" and "fluidity" than philosophers, and we make up for it by vast reading of primary sources.

You're missing the underlying departure, since it fundamentally has nothing whatsoever to do with methodologies or "texts".

Cohabitation means an agreement to abide by the standards of disciplinary historiography or acceptable alternate substitutes ("communist science" as Wallerstein attempts as one example). This means excluding denialism, fallacious argumentation, and argumentation based on an unwillingness to read to cite references or literature (broadly) for opinions.

>Communism is the elaboration of civil war
I agree with this 100%. However, no civil war can be started if one side is segregated and falling apart. In history, this was achieved by the "elites" themselves (see slavery), nowadays however they have figured out that, if you want the people to be segregated, you can just promote the idea, theres no need for laws/oppression.
>not the suppression of ethical alterity through the sledgehammer of some sublime revolutionary subject
That is, in fact, what the SJW scourge is promoting (suppresing and banishing anything that isn't aligned ethically with them), and I have stood against it in several of my points.
My point being, the working class doesn't need to further segregate and divide itself on bullshit pretenses, neither does it need to become one hivemind. The worker needs only to realize he is a worker and that, whatever the differences with the worker next door are, they are both on the bottom of a pyramid they should destroy.

Yeah. Actual shitthinking is still shitthinking.

It's doomed to be yet another purely political board as evidence by literally every post in this thread.

Do you believe in anthropogenic climate change? Yes or no, I have evidence to disagree with you. If I am to be banned for crimethought, then the board must have an official opinion on certain subjects, therefore it is an entirely partisan board and thus there will be inevitable partisan shitposting. Get it now faggot?

>>38664
Pretty much. /pol/ runs any board that could remotely be about politics. It's why those of us with half a fucking brain knew /his/ was a retarded idea and didn't want it, because it was doomed to be /pol/'s little new project.

Why? Why is a /his/ board automatically for retarded conservatives from /pol/ to shitpost all day?

This board was such a fucking terrible idea. We could have had /l/ back. Instead we got /pol/ 2

>>45352
I suggest going to the optometrist.

>>45168
Pretty much this. Came to see if it was /pol/ 2.0 like we all predicted it would be when people were crying for it

Hey guess what, it is. What a fucking waste of bandwidth

It's doomed to be a liberal shithole.

Humanity majors = liberal scum

>>45779
Board is fine. Litfags are spamming worse anyways, and clearly want a liberal board. Hopefully you fucking retards neutralize each other

Oh and no doubt the first God forsaken general will be /Marx/, not /Hitler/

Oh, is /lit/ the special boogieman of this board now? Could you explain this? I'm from /v/, I wasn't aware /lit/ and /pol/tards had some feud.

>>45871

>guess what, it is

Are we using the same board? Every other post is "hurr dhrr go back to /pol/ ebil nadiz :D"

Cant we just have Conservative and Liberal threads in peace on /his/? I also hate the fact that most idiots associate liberals with SJWS and Reddit. Just a reminder

>All SJWS are Liberals

But really you're not presenting any argument other than "I don't like you"

that's not an argument, redditer

/lit/fags just can't seem to handle qualityposts with a bit of banter at the end

Post-structuralist here, what do I read after Saussure, Lacan, and Derrida?

I really fucking hate threads like these

>Hey anon! I dont like /pol/ too!

Like fuck off nigga, this is the exact reason nobody wants to bring any political garbage here

All of you niggas push some retarded agenda

I think his argument is more along the lines of "please don't call everything you disagree with degeneracy".

>>46342
it just happens to be that most of things I disagree with are degenerate

Who the fuck cares about liberals?

We're here to discuss history.

Take your politics back to your containment board you autistic retard.

>>46476
this thread definitively proves that politics isn't absent in anything, much less history. go shitpost elsewhere.

I'm a centrist with conservative, libertarian and liberal tendencies and one of the quickest and most effective ways for me to completely lose interest in what I'm reading is for it to be overly biased in one direction or another.


SEPARATE ACTIVISM FROM HISTORICAL DISCUSSION. It has no fucking place in it.

>>47222
It is kind of hard to do that when the most dominant basis of contemporary historiography, the results of the CPGB historians group and annales were both communist interventionist movements.

The point is that proletarian class warfare should drive the reasons why you conduct historical work, and historical work should drive your proletarian class warfare.

One of the examples was EP Thompson investigating how the English working class came to be, and he discovered that the Luddites were a massive movement, that the Radicals in Parliament were fucking useless and riding the "mob," and that Methodism was a right wing spontaneous proletarian movement, not a top down repressive movement.

This then influences how communists should deal with the contemporary working class right, whether they should trust parliamentary socialists, and what "spontenaity" is.

What it doesn't mean is that you go hunting for specific answers to justify your position.

>>38664
>Are there any post-structuralist historians here? Where my post-marxist bros at?

Nigger, did you somehow miss that OP made this thread to whine about how apparently there are too many right-wingers here?

>>38664
Any board with a reasonable amount of free speech is going to tend towards the "conservative" because leftist ideas are so stupid that they require a complete lock on the narrative to be advanced. Notice how the post-soviet bloc countries are all going far right now? Marxism is nothing but the failed predictions of a dead manchild, I'd honestly put Marx in the same category as L. Ron Hubbard but at least his crazy bullshit is funny.

Every time I'm tired of /pol/ bullshit, I remember what kind of people dislike /pol/ and I realize I'd rather side with /pol/.

We get it /pol/, you're desperate. Please stop shitposting here.

>>49990
I can say the same honestly. After spending around a month lurking /pol/, they're nowhere near as bad as the people constantly whining about them are.

/his/ is pretty good starting out though, but ultimately it will probably be "right wing circle jerk" because the other side can't even fathom the idea of talking to people they don't agree with. And that's their fault. At least the /pol/acks will try despite their deficiencies instead of outright silencing by crying boogeyman and starting stupid threads bitching about political alignment instead of realizing history and politics are often intertwined.

>>38664
Yes, actually. I've been plotting since I first found out.

SJWs are the liberal rich, champagne socialists.

The so called "oppressed women" and "oppressed minorities" are rich/privileged as fuck compared to the average white wage-slave.

>>50855
This, I keep seeing fine discussions derailed by manchildren who can't refute things that hurt their feewings so they start crying about it instead.

Just stop. If you can't deal with conflicting viewpoints, let alone refute them, fuck off this board.

>>50807
most of the people here are from /leftypol/ and consider anything that isnt tumblr /pol/. This board isnt going to last long

>>38737
/lit/ doesn't know what they're talking about half of the time

I LOVE History, looking at this board is like being in a kid in a candy shop for me. I would hate for it to turn into a /pol/-tier circle jerk, but I would also hate for it to turn into a reddit type of place as well.

Personally, my politics are moderate with some leaning more on conservative or more on liberal depending on the subject (I'm more conservative regarding gender roles but a tad bit more liberal with race).

Ideally, there would be no shitposting and just full on analysis and discussion of history in best way possible. Realistically, however, this board will either take on an extreme liberal or extreme conservative approach considering people can never keep things moderate.

fresh outta reddit

We should just have civil discussions about the topics mentioned in the board's sticky.

If somebody says something stupid, either ignore them or argue with them. What's the big deal?

>>38737
How is any board 'run' by anyone?

It's not even as though people have identities and therefore accrue respect and power and influence. Maybe in a few areas there's a trip-user whom people think knows what he's talking about. But that's all.

>>38664

Maybe because reality has a conservative bias

There is probably more meta shit about the board than there are actual history threads.

The sticky even reads like a post from /q/.

At least the mods are keen enough to ban the overt and not the implied.

/pol/ here

I thought this was mostly for academic philosophic discussion and asking about historical stuff

>>43615
it really sounds you're the one with a "limited, myopic and presumptuous perspective"

>>51632
Eventually, "bait threads" will be ignored, like any questions concerning time travel or other controversial scientific ideas on /sci/.

Someone posts a WW2 thread? Keep scrolling.
Someone posts a Christianity thread? Keep scrolling.
Someone posts a Civil War thread? Keep scrolling.

Why? Because acknowledging /pol/'s presence on /his/ "feeds the trolls".

And so the only topics anyone regularly posts in are boring topics because the controversy surrounding significant events in history means we can't look at the elephant in the room.

I don't expect this board to last long.

I'm convinced that things might be a whole lot better once people stop getting vaginal creases about words, and instead of trying to "own words" by formally declaring that only those they apply to are allowed to use them, they just "own" the words.

>>52450
And something else which really bugs me...

OP's post is simple whining about /pol/ with dressed up language to give it a feeling of intellectual depth.
