I agree. CTH had a time and a place, the formative years particularly got a younger demo passionate about politics. They got a lot of people to pay attention and question the status quo.
But today, we need the next step. They don't really offer any solutions, have no concrete ideology or definitive action beyond criticism, and tend to fall back onto the "oh, we're just entertainment" sentiment when things get too real.

This place tends to fall back on "we're just a shitposting forum" when things get too real.
We should never take ourselves too seriously, but it's fine to recognize that the internet is where a ton of people get their news and political opinions.

Nobody on this site is offering any solutions either, and they shouldn't, because this is a site for shit posting.
