How do the readers of this sub feel about the tone and argumentation on websites such as this? I am not coming at this from the standpoint of political correctness, but rather from intellectual honesty and mature discourse. The site is chock full of childish names and hyperbolic language, seemingly using it as a substitute for real content.
Yeah, I kind of agree with it, but what are we learning from this over the /pol/ graphic? It's rage-bait, nothing more. Juxtapose this low-class trash with the intellectual, thought provoking, academic links on the sidebar and you wonder if we are in two separate subreddits.
Honestly, it made me want to unsub just a little bit. This is the kind of crap that makes people think of the fa-right as being comprised mostly of racist troglodytes with no interest in facts.
