/pol/ checking in, wanted to give an opinion, though it may get removed by a mod. This is one of my favourite boards, and as a radical right winged someone who lives on /pol/, I really appreciate the lack of political discussion and derailing on this board, this board didn't suffer the same fate as the old news board, and I think it is perfectally appropriate to ban and kick those who derail threads with politics. Anyways
Tl;dr Is there anything wrong with Veeky Forums and it's community? If it is the frequency of /pol/ viewers, should the board be changed to just be "history" and have stricter non-political rules, or should there be a containment rule for /pol/?
P.S if this is unrelated to Veeky Forums I apologize, the FAQ board is slow and unrecognized and I felt this was the right way to ask. I'll bump with random historical pics
I'm dumping mostly historical stuff that I feel like some of you may have missed P.S I love this one

Occasional raids by /pol/ are annoying but the real problem is the lack of actual moderation. I've made like five shitty threads recently and haven't gotten banned for any of them
Also why would a far rightist like the roman empire, it was super heterogenous

Pictures: Ubre Blance, Fidel Castro'a prized cow, look it up its a weird but great little story
Carter Walker
>Castro obsessed with cows/milk >Khruschev obsessed with corn Are there any other commies obsessed with a particular crop/livestock?
John Perez
I think "humanities" is poorly defined. Before taking such drastic action the mods could maybe define it better. Perhaps list the specific subjects rather than ambiguously "humanities".
For example you are allowed to discuss economics but not "hurr why africa poor"
Josiah Cook
Not a gommie, but Emperor Diocletian was obsessed with cabbages.
Gabriel Scott
No more threads about about Germanic revisionism and no more threads from Atheist or Fundies.
Fascis and Commies can die too.
Carter Williams
Veeky Forums has more newfaggotry than your average small board, but other than that it's fine I guess.
Ive noticed that redditors who like historyballs come here a lot, as well as ifunnyers (my friend IRL who frequents that app started sending me screenshots of Veeky Forums posts and when I asked him about it, he said there's a lot of historical pages that come here).
Nicholas Baker
Because they pushed loyalty to the Empire. The perfect example of Civic Nationalism
Liam Peterson
>civic nationalism >far right
Adam Campbell
I too am from /pol/ and I think topics about politics and race should remain in /pol/.
Nathaniel Bell
Civic Nationalism and Ethnic Nationalism are both right, but I agree. Ethnic Nationalism is farther right.
Blake Green
Of course when I see /leftypol/ and /r/communism trying to colonize Veeky Forums I'm going to respond accordingly.
Jaxon Hill
Civic nationalism is hardly to the right. The economist has endorsed it even
Adam Wood
"were X white Veeky Forums?" and "Why are muh strawmen like dat?" threads could be less frequent. You could be less frequent too. >next you'll label me ((())), a commie, lefty/pol/, leddit, post not an argument or a meme etc.
William Gomez
Well Civic Nationalism certainly isn't to the right. At least not the Civic Nationalism I am thinking about
Mason Brooks
Civic nationalism says a nigger or a Muslim can be European if he pays taxes (more likely collects welfare) to the same governmental institution as Europeans. It's a retarded ideology.
Isaiah Miller
Personally I dont give a fuck if you are a neonazi, an anarchist, a yuppie capitalist or a Communist. >Dont derail threads. >Follow board rules. >Follow board rules
Grayson Carter
Are you ignoring the fact that nationalism was originally left wing and not racial in origin? Civic nationalism works in a meritocracy.
Grayson Hill
Ah, the genetic fallacy! I'm aware about the past, but I care more about the future.
Kayden Lewis
>fallacies Please stop this
Dominic Gray
I meant to the left
Jeremiah Jackson
The statement is still correct.
Dylan Rodriguez
>The economist has endorsed it even
They've paid lip service to it. If it actually comes to enforcing actual standards on citizenship beyond "you have to have held some sort of visa for a few years", then they'll be the first to speak out against such "authoritarian laws".
The reason civic identity in the west is so meaningless now is precisely because it is so permissively given out as to be meaningless in definition.

'Tis a hard life being as openly minded as you, m'lady, and I humbly tip my trilby in respect.
Isaac Thompson
Yep. The Economist is the closest thing the Western world has to a Pravda. Every single op-ed in there is pure verbatim shitliberry
Jacob Bell
not him, but... >Civic nationalism, also known as liberal nationalism, is a kind of nationalism identified by political philosophers who believe in a non-xenophobic form of nationalism compatible with values of freedom, tolerance, equality, and individual rights.[1] Ernest Renan[2] and John Stuart Mill[3][4] are often thought to be early civic nationalists. Civic nationalists often defend the value of national identity by saying that individuals need a national identity in order to lead meaningful, autonomous lives[5] and that democratic polities need national identity in order to function properly.[6] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civic_nationalism seems like the kind of thing that would rankle your average far-rightist, considering that civic nationalism, applied logically, would lead to an immigration policy more along the lines of "if you're willing to work honestly and keep the peace, there's a pathway to citizenship available to you", the idea being that national identity is a self-evident ideal which transcends ethnic boundaries.

It is literally hitler tho because it has "nationalism" in its name
