why is half this board just thinly-veiled /pol/ teenagers asking the same tedious questions about Byzantium and The Crusades over and over and over
i think we just need a sticky at this point. have a section for that stuff, and then a section for the nazis, maybe a section for the american civil war. it'll cut down on the repeat threads.

Because none of you fucktards ask anything that isnt European history.
We definitely should put together a reading list for common topics

It's not worth it. The people making those threads are doing so because they want to hear particular answers. When we bore them with how complex and nuanced history tends to be, they tend to get combative. If we have a sticky or reading list or whatever, the current repeated threads will just be replaced with kids sperging out over our choices of what to put in there.
It's just no use. This is a website full of neckbeards, teens, a lot of people currently swept up in ethnic nationalism and kneejerk anti-atheism, etc. If you don't like it, go somewhere else to discuss history or whatever other topic you wanted. It's a lot less trouble than trying to change the culture of this place.
