>Goes to /pol/: retardation, jesusfags, mudslimes and unironic national socialism support.
>Goes to 9fag/tumblr/basically any other mainstream site: muh ashamed of being white, muh I am an economic expert but am only 20 years old and follow womens studies as a serious study, muh capitalism steals from people my particular form of socialism and communism will surely work.

Is there any site where an intellectually honest discussion about politics is possible with non-retarded people?

OP is right though.

Well OP there are of course other Chans, but they are pretty cancerous also.
>>
>>17289216

not really. unless you go to a site specific for that you arent going to find it. try looking at subreddits but there is no site that magically draws in the elite fedora tipping smart peoples liek yourself while somehow magically blocking others.

the internet is like real life.

websites are country, and each country has their own culture

with in that country there are many smaller states, cities, and villages of varying population

each ones a little different but even at hte most specific places, you will find people who are from different walks of life. some high minded and intelligent. others dumb. some pretending to be 2smart4you. like you.
>>
>>17289216
Depending on the network and channel, i usually find people on IRC to be more stimulating.
>>
Because it seems everyone that isn't really mainstream is automatically a fedora tipper, I was just asking if they was somekind of classic liberal site where things get discussed without meme's or right wing extremism or leftist retardation.
>>
>>17289258

>anything that isnt really mainstream is automatically a fedora tipper

nope. you are taking the fact that YOU are a fedora tipper and applying it to everyone else.

you already disregard everything thats not specific to you as being not worth your time and that they must be retarded, and you are soo superior you need intellectually honest discussion about politics.

if you had added the word 'classy' i would have called you a troll.
>>
>>17289257
>stimulating

I find people on IRC have autism or sexual predators

Answer is no. Even up to top graduate university level it is all shit.

So become natsoc and purge the leftist intelligentsia with us

This is what I mean.

>>17289262
>you already disregard everything thats not specific to you as being not worth your time and that they must be retarded

OP said he wasn't interested in the oneliners, fallacies and the plain stupidity of the extreme right and left or sjw cancer. You regard that as "everything thats not specific to you" ? Are you dense? There is a whole spectrum in between.

Smaller chans. (which I'm not going to share with you)

>>17289216
>Is there any site where an intellectually honest discussion about politics is possible with non-retarded people?

No, because of state-paid agent provocateurs derailing any democratic public debate.
>>
>>17289216
The only people who don't end up supporting retarded political views that probably made their great-grandparent's life hell at some point are those within an industry relating to politics.

You'll find that blogs, podcasts and books of people who work in an economic/politically affected position, for the government or reputable companies/organizations will put forward ideas worth listening to.
>my req

This is what I like that may relate to the topic.

>where an intellectually honest discussion about politics
Go find whatever board/venue where political views that aren't driven by racism or social class reversal views and argue them into adopting rational views.

For starters start using real words instead of talking in memes
>>
>mudslimes

is that a racial slur? if so is it for all brown people or just blacks? if it's just for blacks are you automatically a mudslime if your black or is there some sort of action that has to happen first?

when ever i see that i just get perplexed, mudslime sounds like a intermediate leveled monster in an rpg. i understand that 4chan is big on non-chalant racism but... mudslime? you sound like you sat in a room by yourself with the exact intent on creating more offensive things to say about who ever you were talking about and it just amounted to ''uuuuh imma just put bad things together that are brown and see what happens"

seriously, can someone give me insight on this? in know it's supposed to be an insult but if i ever heard someone call me a mudslime irl i would start laughing, thats like calling someone a wet booger, how else am i supposed to react to something that sounds so dumb and forced? is the word nigger not enough for you? is 4chan so cancerous that it turned one of the most offensive words in the english language into a schoolyard taunt, so the users of 4chan have to resort to cutie tootie words like ''mudslime'' to satisfy their edgelust? i would love a genuine reply because I. AM. PROFUONDLY. STUMPED ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Muslim > mudslide

Come on anon

>>17289465
Mudslime is a meme pol naming for muslims in general, be they black brown white etc. I have a profound dislike for anyone that follows the islamic autocratic doctrine and they infest boards with their western flags but idiotic opinions.
>>
>>17289475
mudslime means muslim? MUDSLIME MEANS MUSLIM!? thats not clever, thats not witty, that's just forced edgyness. i don't even particularly like muslims, but this site is full of people who are delighted to and LIVE for tearing other people down and being offensive and mudslime is the best you could come up with? am i missing something? is there something mud and or slime related that has to do with Muslims that isn't forced and stupid? WTF,
don't you >come on anon me>>17289475
this meme is dumb, >>17289490
of course Islamic doctrine is horrible, any honest person should know that, but mudslime is the the best you could do? well then i might as well call them booger bombs, or anal hermits, or transexual dumpster divers because apparently 4chan edgequeens aren't as potent as i thought they were. (mudslime? queef commander? they could both be directed at muslims but you would never know if you were a newfag would yah?)
>>
What do you want to have an intellectual discussion about? Forums existed before 4chan, reddit or tumblr you know.
>>
>>17289519
Yeah, it's not that funny, but here is an interesting bit of trivia: When we mock Muslims in my native language, we also use a pun that has something to do with slime. My language is not even related to English in any way, it's Slavic. It looks like it's some sort of international nomen omen.

Lefty pol on 8ch is probably right for you

>>17289538
now THATS what i'm looking for, clever jest, you slavs are doing it right. but us and our vast and flexible English and the best we can muster is ''mudslime'', an insult that sounds as if it manifested from the mouth of a bully from the Bernstein Bears cartoon

>mudslime
i don't know how but learning the origin of this meme made me hate 4chan just a wee bit more
>>
>>17289548
I am already at university. The sjw cancer runs deep here. Most of them don't even realise that there is also a world outside postmodernistic concepts like white privilege. I thought it was just a meme that students were so leftist, but it is pretty horrible.

Already went there. There was some good stuff, but then there were 3 threads that unironically supported Marxist ideologies and basically argued "real communism had never been tried".

It is a bad meme, but then again it was never the vocal point of my topic.
>>
>>17289602
Nah, I just want a platform were people do not spout meme's, fallacies, one liners and do not misuse words like racism and disregard post modernism as it should. Thus, a platform were ideas get discussed backed-up by well founded arguments and citations, but within an objectivistic framework (so no circlejerking; no use of non real concepts as islamophobia).

Nowhere big obviously - the internet enables anyone to speak while thinking that their opinion means much more than it actually does. That's why you have a flood of people leaning on extremism pouring on to whichever site leans to their side: everyone thinks similarly and dissenters are flooded out by the popular train of thought.

>>17290594
Well, at least on 4chan you can actually have a debate. On reddit you just get downvoted if your opinion isn't the norm.

I was on a small forum five years ago that provided such intelligent discourse. Of course there were the occasional trolls coming to dick around, but they were easy to filter out because they were far and few between; moreover they had their own boards dedicated to dicking around. it wasn't as bad as 4chan.

The trick is to find a small community that is openminded and articulate, but that's harder to find these days than it used to be. I wish you luck. Too many people on the internet consolidated into too few sites. As much as I hate to say it you might be better off looking for an invite-only facebook group.

>how much adderall have you taken?

not enough apparently, because my adderall induced rant wasn't enough to make anyone think of a meme more clever than ''mudslime''

I can't think of anything that's "better." Different formats give rise to different problems, especially in the form of social cliques and credibility problems. Say what you will about the users, but you aren't going to find a better format for discussion than 4chan, at least in terms of people saying what they really think and accepting counter-arguments.

That's not to say 4chan is good, but all others are even worse. People are never honest about their thoughts or feelings, you will always have to contend with their "outer" persona. At least on 4chan people's stupid opinions are laid bare, on most forums the person regarded as smartest or more credible actually wins arguments by:

1. Having friends agree with him so that his credibility cannot be questioned.
2. Indirectly threatening dissenters with bans and/or social ostracization.
3. Creating an environment where any disagreement is regarded malicious/hostile, so that your "tone" can be criticized and your points never addressed.

The only honest discussions you can have are with people you know and trust, or with complete strangers who have nothing to hide. You'd need to surround yourself with exclusively 150+ IQ friends to have visceral, personal debates like the Greeks. This behavior is a function of intelligence, which is not something you can control. The only thing you can really do is limit the obstacles to discussion and try to meet as many people as possible.

Universities used to be good for this. Used to be. I guess what I'm saying is there's nowhere you can go, and 4chan and real life are not good candidates either.
>>
I try to be pretty even keeled as much as possible, so I'll debate you if you'd like.

What did you want to discuss?
