> /pol/ exists largely as a reaction to the suppression of non-progressive thought

/pol/ exists so edgy teenagers (and others who haven't developed mentally past that phase) can attempt to get a rise out of people by posting shallow, far-right tripe.

The level of intelligent discussion there is pitiful.

I parse your comment to mean "/pol/ is childish. People who hold those views are shallow and unintelligent."

I find it interesting that my posting discussing /pol/ - not supporting it, mind you, merely discussing it - elicits a response like this from a brand new account.

My position is that exactly this sort of response to anything that isn't "progressive" is what has caused the rise of /pol/.
