If you are an American or English, why are you not reading the wealth of world-historic literature written in your own tongue for people of your own mind?Why are you reading translations of brown-people literature (viz. French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian) instead of the WASP corpus?
>>24951500Because our literature sucks. Who'd read Walter Scott over Alexandre Dumas? Sterne over Cervantes or Rabelais? Steinbeck over Zola? Dickens over Galdós or Balzac? Hardy over Tolstoy?>reading translationsNot everyone is an EOP.
>>24951528So then you admit that brown people are better writers than white people?
i love Thomas Fuller, i love Jeremy Taylor, and i love reading them after misty walks in the fens. but if i felt i was venerating The WASP Canon i wouldn't read a line of them. death to English culture.
>>24951528>Sterne over CervantesMe.And Tolstoy is by far the most overrated author I've ever read.
>>24951500No WASP has ever, will ever, or could ever produce The Ego And Its Own.
>>24951540He'd have to read them without translation first.
>>24951500>AmericanI don't read any of that rubbish m8, I can read authors of the Isles until the day I die.
>>24951500the first complete accurate Bible in any one language is the kjv. there also lovecraft and milton
because real America (the south) is Norman Clayfuck outta here with that anglo rubbish
>>24951500>If you are an American or English, why are you not reading the wealth of world-historic literature written in your own tongue for people of your own mind?i mostly am, translations are zoom-through light reading breaks from real reading
>>24951500Jonathan Edwards was one of the finest theologians ever.. and American.
>>24951540>American parroting as white
>>24952648It's posturing you retard
>>24952424South being Norman is a LARPSoutherners cluster with englishmen and the majority of southerners, even the "southern aristocracy" don't descend from Normans but from lower class english and lowland scottish settlers
>>24952795It is a bit of a larp but to be fair cultural influences can appear where genetic ones don't.A cavalier and a roundhead were probably next to identical genetically, but their cultures were very different. So cavaliers lost the civil war (English) and move to the colonies. Even if a select few move there among the many lower class settlers they will probably have much more money and thus exert much more influence.
>>24953177The cavaliers of the 1640s who moved to the south universally became whigs in the 1680s anyway
>>24953180you must be the "historian" in the plato thread, you're not fooling anyone with your generalizations. "universally" jesus christ fuck off this board, i wont let you rest until you leave.
Wasps are the most soulless demonic race to ever walk the face of the earth. Any American author worth reading had non-Angloid blood in them.
>>24951500>>24951540>when a /pol/tard pretends to care about literature.It's obvious you don't read.
>>24953203I have no idea what you're talking about and i have never once commented in a plato threadThe cavaliers of the 1640s almost universally becamwe whigs in the 1680s you absolute spastic, read some history for once
