r/askhistorians is populated almost entirely by undergrad "experts" who uncritically repeat the views of whatever the journal editors in their field deem to be acceptable views. As with everything else, you should take their views with the knowledge that they are informed by ideology and ensconced in a bourgeois intellectual environment that exists for the purpose of upholding the imperial state
yeah I get smug centrist undergrad vibes from that sub. I first noticed it in this post where the top comment literally avoids confronting the actual issue and just "both sides" the 2000 election controversy. Another person had to chime in that the guy above completely botched the answer, but it stayed up anyways.
The sub got more and more shitty the longer it existed. More and more people tried involved tried to do away with the materialist view on Anti Nazi speech and the result is a softening of the stance which doesn't shut down soap boxed questions.
