This board is irrelevant. /pol/ is the board for history, philosophy, etc. It's all tied to politics.
It would be like splitting /s/ up into sub-boards for specific fetishes (boobs, butt, feet), there's literally no reason to.

Good one anon
/pol/ is just for shitposting tangentially related to politics. Some examples
>I feel sorry for manlets, it's like being emasculated 24/7
>R: 176 / I: 30
>>>/pol/54809119
>Ask an Israeli ex-IDF troop anything.
>R: 217 / I: 49
>>>/pol/54808525
>Crackers BTFO: This is what they think a characterization of white people is. What do you think /pol/? Did this gay nigger in white-face nail it?
>R: 168 / I: 38
>>>/pol/54805029
In the hour I've posted on /his/ I've seen more moderation than being on /pol/ in a year
>>13795
Philosophy ties into /pol/itics.
If you want to discuss a book on philisophy, /lit/ would also be appropriate I suppose.
also
>oxford graduates on 4chan

>>14008
>wanting more "moderation"
Go to reddit, faggot.
/pol/ is for contemporary politics and news. You know, like the board it based on.
I hope this board will have more reasonable discussions about actual ideologies.
>>13795
>graduates from oxford university.
>>14044
And for you, off to /pol/
/pol/ is where you go to shitpost if you don't want to do it in /b/
>>14153
>hurr durr /pol/ is bad hurr durr
How about you actually go there for once and you'll find out all the memes you retards say don't exist at all.
>>14349
I've been to /pol/ plenty of times and it's a largely racist shithole, filled with inane surface level discussions, that just has any criticism responded with MUH FREE SPEECH, IDF/SPOOKY SCARY SKELETON/REDDIT FUCK OFF
>>14044
Oh right, the "le board culture! XD" defence
Why don't you fuck off back to /pol/ to start shitpost threads like "redpill me on kekolding /pol/", or "I'm fucking a Jewish grill AMA"
>>14432
is jew wordfiltered?
>>13750
>splitting /s/ up into sub-boards for specific fetishes (boobs, butt, feet)
Fantastic.
>>13750
>implying /pol/ is anything more than hating everything that isn't white, screaming over the Social Justice Warrior boogeyman and blaming everything on the jews
>>14484
no , s jw is worldfiltered
if you type s jw you get spooky scary skeleton
>>14432
>largely racist shithole
Oh, poor babby, did the "n" word hurt your feelings?
>MUH FREE SPEECH, IDF/SPOOKY SCARY SKELETON/REDDIT FUCK OFF
Jesus, what the fuck are you talking about? It's uncensored discussion and a few shitposters who do jokes a few times on the thread, it's just bait and I'm guessing you probably fell for it like the idiot you are.
It's more than just jew hating but I guess I can't change your opinion at all.
Whatever then, this tab is closed so don't even bother to respond, you fucking /his/ retards are some of the worst Reddit/leftist/spooky scary skeleton scum I've ever seen before.
Fuck you.
>there's no moderation on /pol/
>shills and raider posting 24/7
>hurr it's shit xd
It's like complaining about /b/
But don't worry reddit, you won't get your new board.
>>14548
>implying not all of that is justified
just kill yourself asap
>>14640
This is almost gold, you're doing what I said verbatim.
There is a reason every board hates you.
>>14640
/int/ shares the same opinion.
>>14008
>I've seen more moderation than /pol/ in a year
that's how it starts anon, just wait a couple months you'll see.
>>13795
>Oxford university
shit uni
>>14686
That is what /pol/ is, and no. It is not justified.
There is nothing new on /pol/. Everything is expected.
>>14172
This
>>14349
Really?
/pol/ was my home board until I realized it was full of shitposting retards and Stormfronters. I can say from years of experience that the board is a shithole that should be shut down. There's no fixing /pol/.
>>14793
No, it's clear that when moot brought /new/ back as /pol/ that it was just going to be a containment board with the absolute minimum of moderation.
It took months for them to do something about the interracial porn spammers
>>15106
>I can say from years of experience that the board is a shithole that should be shut down. There's no fixing /pol/.
This. Any attempt at reform will just cause /pol/acks to spazz out and spam other boards because MUH BOARD CULTURE
>>15106
>>15264
/pol/ is genuinely needed as a containment board.
The problem with /pol/ isn't that they raid the other boards consciously, it's that the posters fail to realize that no one gives a fuck about HAPPENING, race war, holohoax, etc and those topics shouldn't be discussed on other boards.
I actually do go on there from time to time, but I just don't want to see that stupid bullshit when I just want to talk about chinese cartoons or giant robots.

You could argue that /b/ subsumes every category, so there is no need for demarcation beyond perhaps SFW /b/ and NSFW /b/. Your argument really is not nuanced.
There is sensible demarcation between adult gif and worksafe gif, for example. This allows for a distinction between sensible adult discussion on SFW gif, and puerile childish shit on NSFW. Similarly here, this board provides a chance for intellectuals to engage other intellectuals seriously without children interrupting with pictures of Hitler, and prefacing their comments "hurr durr".
Further, there absolutely is a difference between political argument (which is what /pol/ is for) and political history, social history, military history, history of philosophy, the history of jurisprudential thought and government. This ignorance just proves why a board is needed to distinguish between the edgy trolls and the serious intellectuals.

I'm not sure if you understand how the British system works, you can get your results and take a gapyear. I'm 18, I've been browsing here since I was twelve.
>>16069
I do know how the British system works. I am a second-year Law student at a top 10 uni, top 100 in the world.
So is /his/ doomed to be /pol/ 2?
>>16599
Yes. /pol/ is a large and moronic board that will flood us out without proper moderation to prevent blatant shitposts that harm academic discourse.
>>16599
No, /pol/ is losing this battle.
