No idea what this /c/ is for, but since it says "coming soon" on the sidebar, I assume it's just been waiting for my post. You're welcome!
I visit this site from time to time (a few weeks in between) so I can feel good about myself. I don't really dislike any of you, but the constant struggle sessions allow me to reflect upon what's important in my life...and what's tedious bullshit. It's almost constant - you're all excellent at hating shit. I mean, I don't like Vaush, but I don't believe I hate him in the way that the culture here does. I can't bring myself to read through the years-old posts of some weird loser just so I can hate him more. Not worth it. However, as much as everyone here seems to hate him, there's a sort of unspoken agreement with him. Not with the stupid takes he constantly shoots off, but in the broad ways that he sees leftism, and its progression of ideas.
Vaush is a "debate bro," and (to be brief) that means his mind is poisoned and he's cringe. He holds an implicit assumption that (within political discussion) there is a correct answer and an incorrect answer. A zero sum game. Learning is not placed at the forefront because the answers already exist. Very rational and cool way of thinking. It's neat, clean, easy -- and utterly foolish.
You can't strive to have a non-sectarian space online if everyone has the mindset of being cool, getting clout, and doing lib owns by posting pictures of mutilated cows (I actually don't know if the vegans have done that yet, but it's so cliche that they probably have hahaha)[1]. It's simply not sustainable; /c/strugglesession is like the top trending community. Look at yourselves and be honest - how many of you like it like this? How many of you think that doing ebic on/against veganism is the best usage of your time on this site? Be honest with yourself, it's the only way you can fix your shit. You can't bloom unless you want to be a Bloomer.
Reject debate, embrace pedagogy. The dual processes of learning and educating are far more important and effective than whatever the hell happens here every few weeks LOL. If you want an example that relates to what I've been saying, look up the Xexizy/Muke response videos to Vaush. Or you could also learn to talk to each other.
Anyway, keep in mind what I've typed out and remember that every day that this site has a meltdown sees me (and several other people like me) constantly making fun of you behind your backs. Ciao!
[1] This is not implying that the vegans are uniquely bad posters - all of the major posting factions on this site suck.
I like this post but
this line is unnecessarily antagonistic
I'll add a clarification edit, thanks for pointing that out.
