I have been participating in the political sub-forum for awhile now, and the more I read through the threads in there, the more I come to the conclusion that very little good happens in those threads.
Politics in today's world are dominated by appeasement. Whoever cries the loudest, and is willing to go to the farthest extreme gains political power. I speak mostly about the American system. This is probably because of the decline in objective values...but the point is, there is very little learning and true discussion in the political sub-forum. It has taken the form of appeasement politics with people vying to dominate instead of illuminate.
There are statements made, often unverifiable to anyone's satisfaction or life experience, followed by fighting with very little exploration. Eventually someone (cough cough two particular users) brings up Jews or Jesuits and the conspiracy theories start. The only way to understand these conspiracies is to go down the rabbit hole with that particular user, and even then, nothing gets done, no minds are changed, no new frontiers are covered. I think the energy of this forum should be put more towards Peat, and less towards these subjects. I am very tired of jews and jesuits getting into every GD thread, and I think others may be too.
I have started a poll with some options, if you have another I would be happy to add it. I think at the moment, either getting rid of it, or subdividing it so that the jews and jesuits can have their own area of discussion, along with feminism, trump, etc. would be best. No limit on any other ideas.
