I don't really come to this board often, so I can't tell if this is bait. Are most of you guys faggot betas like on /sci/ or is this anon just an anomaly

Why does /lit/ sperg out each time one of these thots comes along? Have you guys learnt nothing? Women are a meme, do NOT take them seriously

Zeeburg here. What the fuck happened to this place?

Not strictly /lit/ related, but there is no /hist/, so, fuck it. I was raised in a very conservative household, my education included 'christ centered' home schooled curriculum and history lessons from my fundamentalist dad. As you can guess, I didn't get the most objective education. Recently, I've taken an interest in relearning stuff. Literature, history, science, etc. To make a long story short, I started learning about the cold war and Vietnam. I'm terribly confused, why the FUCK did America involve itself in Vietnam? The only answer I've found is 'muh communism' and cold war bullshit. Sincerely, I don't understand why the US should feel even remotely proud of itself. I feel like we tried to be superman and save the world from the evils of communism, even though, arguably, it was on its way out. I don't know lit, I feel like there is an angle I'm missing, teach me, bishop.
