Why has this board become /platitudinous-philosophy/ and pol

Have you seriously not noticed the masses around the entire world becoming consistently dumber?

t know who this is

>>10020010
There's an absolute faggot mod running this place. Doesn't enforce shit. General philosophy discussion doesn't belong here, and nor does /pol/ bait shit.
It's probably a frogman who loves the /pol9k/ vibe this place now has. God forbid there's any actual literature discussion. Fucking fat worthless piece of shit

>>10020010
oh wow it's kurt vonnegut!

>>10020021
it all went downhill with bugs.

but seriously the "philosophy" discussion here (from 18-19yos glorifying Stirner for the #meme) coupled with the pol9k shit is ruining this board.

>>10020036
The Stirner homos were always here. The politics bait threads were once deleted, though. The mod's worthless

>>10020055
yeah they've always been here, but never in as full a force as they are now. it's like they looked up "memes of /lit/" and started posting.

>>10020077
I see 0 Stirner threads, but at least 15 bait threads

Was there really a time when Holderlin was discussed? I mentioned him once and got no meme action. What were those days like?

>Used to be too stupid for /lit/
>Now too intelligent for /lit/

Did I bring the poltergeists in when I opened that gate last December? Sorry bout that. I thought I was just some seaweed floating to float, and apparently my moth-wing twitch, or my seaweed intentionality, rippled into tsunami.

Could have been worse, I suppose.

>>10020249
Epic?

It also depresses me to see what this board has turned into. Any time I try to start a discussion about a book, the thread is buried by pseudo-philosophical bullshit and memes. Disheartening isn't even the word.

>>10020021
this

the mod who runs this board had super strong pol9k sympathies so he leaves all those threads up and deletes a lot of lit threads

>>10020257
Tell me about it. Next we will have The Rock in the White House.

For some reason people think it's funny to act like exceptional individuals who can't read the warning label in their favourite flavour of glue.

>>10020010
if you're lumping fucking wallace in with holderlin and joyce, you're part of the problem

>makes cancerous board culture thread to complain about board culture instead of actually working to change board culture
>and then op was the cancer!

>>10020010
Be the change you want to see in the world anon, don't make whiny meta-threads that shit up the board further.

If DFW were the lowest thing we were discussing then we’d be doin’ pretty good

Don’t be such a grump

The transformation of the board and the broader site's culture proves that ironic shitposting really was just shitposting all along.

People like you are the reason that every single atrocity in Human history has happened.

There is an origami board but not a philosophy board. Let that sink in.

>a website designed for lonely autists has boards made for autistic hobbies instead of for discussing complex ideas
Hmm

>>10020556
I'm too ppparanoid to join one of those. Well, not paranoid. Just too insecure about my readings, and suspicious that people are conspiring against me for some strange reason. As if a group of people tried to humiliate me on here, and are just waiting to continue their attack. I'd be afraid my readings would be very much misinterpreted as say something I believe - such as happened before when I screamed.

>philosophy isn't an autistic and lonely hobby
As a hobbyist I can confirm that it meets your criteria

It's because "lately" /his/ has utterly imploded under its own weight. Even without the "humanities" party it's inevitable that on 4chan it would become a circlejerk of memes and ideological shit-flinging instead of "history" sooner or later.
