Sup il/lit/erates, I was looking up some stuff about Nietzsche and Freud on Google and I always got linked to a Reddit thing called "badphilosophy". I decided to look and they keep talking about things being bad philosophy. What the hell is bad philosophy?? It sort of seems to come down to "Your philosophy is bad because it is not mine and you just don't understand". It also seems to be a circlejerk of left propaganda. Can anyone explain any of this to me? Thanks in advance!
Bad philosophy?

Continental philosophy.

>Your philosophy is bad because it deviates from the neo-liberal norms of modern society.
Disregard Reddit, friend.

I have no idea what i'm talking about, but i'd assume they look for indecisiveness.
If they analytic elitist, they look for unfalsifiable, non objective stuff.
I know badeconomics is basically like Veeky Forums. Freshmen with political opinions looking for noobs of opposing ideologies that are easy prey.

You know Reddit hate threads? It's an entire sub dedicated to that. Naturally it congealed into a salt-bowl of circle-jerking ideology. They're Marxist, they're anti-"neckbeard", and that, in honesty, is forgivable. It's largely unrelated to philosophy, see.
But what is unforgivable is their blatant normieness. They're just...normal philosophers. They're mostly analytic, and they hate the idea of nihilism for no real reason. Disagreeing with nihilism is just good sense, sure, but not hating it. It's classic "it must be bad, because look at all my subreddit friends -- they also think it's bad".

Similar situation with badliterature, only with Orwell and Wallace. I personally dislike them, but they treat anyone praising them in any capacity as bad literature. They're also butthurt about "insidious Veeky Forums influence". That's a quote. The subreddit regulars are getting downvoted, and they can't have that.

But Veeky Forums is a cynic/egoist authoritarian capitalist circlejerk.

Yo, thanks for the answers! So it basically comes down to just justifying their own believes and actions, and claiming to be different while essentially recycling the same contemporary ideologies?

You should read it all. Even if it's bad philosophy.
You should read post-modernism so that you understand how neurotic and pathological some of these people are.

>"insidious Veeky Forums influence".
kek, at least people on Veeky Forums aren't the only ones paranoid about users from other sites.

You have no idea how wrong you are.
Veeky Forums is contrarian as FUCK. Here, we have egoists, purely to fuck with the New Dostoevskys who are there purely to fuck with the New Atheists who are there purely to fuck with the Marxists who are there purely to be the most special snowflake opposition to /pol/.
Even in threads where it seems every reply is saying the same viewpoint -- particularly on boards like /pol/ -- there will always be a few contrarians.
>So it basically comes down to just justifying their own believes and actions
Yes.
>and claiming to be different
No. Unlike us, they feel no need to do this. This is their failing.
