>doesn't know that fringe was always filled with shitposters
By all fucking means I'd welcome the shitposters of old over the garbage that we have right now. This shit is nothing like what it used to be. I dare you to claim otherwise.
>name a place better than /fringe/ for serious esoteric discussion. u cant.
This was never a point of contention. There is none. And that's precisely the problem. I'd rather stick to further isolation than partake in a forum where stagnation is ironically the norm. I know full well about the effort to sabotage any enterprise akin to this one, but it doesn't change the fact that fringe has fallen, big time, and I don't see it recovering when its current denizens are nothing like those who made fringe what it was. OP asked what this place was, so I gave my view of it. And I stand by it.
You're from /pol/ I take it, so you know the kinds of people who started invading it ever since the elections. Those people are what I have a problem with, and really the only thing I have a problem with. The old saying was neither uttered enough nor respected. They should have LURKED MOAR. Though in fringe's case it's a bit different, as it is serves as a context for study and experimentation. But how can it properly function then when so many newcomers don't meet the prerequisites for proper learning?
Saying the jews are behind it changes fuck all. Fringe has incurred big damage, and that's hardly arbitrary. For one who does not possess a reference frame for it and would then unwarily gobble down what it is currently offering, the result may be only further confusion, not enlightenment. And that's what I offer a warning against. The material is still as sound as it was, and thus should be focused on. Fringe is the place to discuss ideas, but said ideas would first have to be forged along with a proper basis. And fringe right now does not provide that. So if one is new to the esoteric, the occult, and spirituality, one should go study, and practice, and refine oneself. Only after that would it be sound for one to come back and share one's findings, and attempt to refine them.
The question thread as I said may still yield interesting answers, but they should only ever be treated as data, not as the truth itself, and be processed as such, with scrutiny and discernment.
