I really hate America and Americans, what literature would you recommend me?

"One is never sure which of two characteristics is more prominent in the American national character and therefore of the greater significance: naivete or a superiority complex. When for example they say things about our region, our surprise at their ignorance is surpassed only by annoyance at their stupid insolence. The less they know about a matter, the more confidently they speak. They really believe that Europeans are eagerly waiting to hear from them and heed their advice. They took our strategic decision not to discuss their shallow culture before the war as a sign of admiration. Their greatest technical accomplishments are refrigerators and radios. They cannot believe that there are cultural values that are the result of centuries of historical development, which cannot simply be bought. It was no bad joke when, after the war, they bought the ruins of German castles and moved them stone by stone to the U.S.A. They really thought that they had purchased a piece of national history embodied in stone, and were naive enough to think that mocking laughter from Europe was respect for the wealth that enabled them to buy what their own tradition and culture lacked."

I really like their literature and films. Couldn't care less about the actual people. The burger tourists I've met are annoying, loud cunts who speak in superlatives, so everything is "The greatest, the best, I'm such a big FAN." Cool it down, please. No, you can't be a "fan" of fucking toasts, Brandon. No, I'm not the "best." No, this restaurant isn't "the greatest." Just simmer down, you lot are alright but please don't talk like teenagers, or worse, like Negroes.

Well, almost any human would do that, so thats more of a misanthropic position. I still disagree though, because nations are a small part of someones culture. Its possible to move to america and retain most of your heritage, so someone saying they're proud to be american, might still've kept their original thinking.

This, the only adjective my father knows is awesome. That pizza was awesome, that movie was awesome, that book was awesome. He's also a pseudo-intellectual finance retard and whenever I ask if he's read a book, he always says he read parts of it, but doesn't remember it, but still knows he didn't like it. "Have you read Moby Dick?" "I might have a long time ago, but I don't remember liking it." Then he always lectures me on great cinema, because he would see normie 80s movies in college and high school, so whenever we see a film together he reduces it to platitudes and gets mad when he "can't relate to a character," or he doesn't like the message. He's also never seen a foreign film or a black and white film, but constantly feels the need to tell me what he thinks of it. I don't care that he's stupid or uncultured, but he always has to fucking talk about it, then makes you feel guilty because "he's given you so much over the years," and he loves talking about how rich he is. Oh, and he's Jewish.

>Another thing that struck me [in the American] was the great influence of the Negro, a psychological influence naturally, not due to the mixing of blood. The emotional way an American expresses himself, especially the way he laughs, can best be studied in the illustrated supplements of the American papers; the inimitable Teddy Roosevelt laugh is found in its primordial form in the American Negro. The peculiar walk with loose joints, or the swinging of the hips so frequently observed in Americans, also comes from the Negro.[3] American music draws its main inspiration from the Negro, and so does the dance. The expression of religious feeling, the revival meetings, the Holy Rollers and other abnormalities are strongly influenced by the Negro. The vivacity of the average American, which shows itself not only at baseball games but quite particularly in his extraordinary love of talking – the ceaseless gabble of American papers is an eloquent example of this – is scarcely to be derived from his Germanic forefathers, but is far more like the chattering of a Negro village. The almost total lack of privacy and the all-devouring mass sociability remind one of primitive life in open huts, where there is complete identity with all members of the tribe.

How could you be proud to be an American when every Nigger, spic, or kike could be an American. Not to mention nationalism only glorifies the retarded mass man with no unique characteristics, so white nationalism glorifies an obtuse, barbaric, loud retard that is too weak and tepid to rule, so he lets incompetent bureaucratic Jews do it. Yeah, I'm so proud to be a white American!! Look what people who would be completely disgusted with me did!

well you could reverse that quote today, replace europe with most of the world 'shipping castles' by way of popular media and only recently asian media. if american influence makes you seethe easily it means the 'tradition' you keep yearning for is just a fantasy larp to begin with, meaning it is actually you personally who doesnt understand the inherent tradition of certain regions and people. if you were born into one, seething about memes is the last thing that would bother you. you have replaced it with some stereotype which is most likely the tier youre in no matter what country youre from. its the information age plebbie.

Stop.

Rural is based. Urban is based. Suburban is an abomination. Car centricity has rotted urban areas from the inside out and spread across the nation like a fungus, leaving a decaying atrocity of stripmalls, housing developments, and sprawl in its wake. However, the central areas of our better cities are still incredibly based. Our ailments are temporary. Niggers, who will be priced out once gentrification sweeps them from the city limits like the garbage they are. Cagerism, which will end with the rise of walkability and rail based transit systems. Boomers, who will die as bloated corpses of diabeetus within 5 years. After that we will be a glorious empire again. The rural areas will go back to being rural and pastorial, and the urban areas will develop much like China, Seoul, and Japan did. Suburbia was a mistake. Cages were a mistake. We will dismantle and destroy everything boomers built and we will reclaim our birthright.
