How would that be a problem? America is not only the smartest nation in the history of the planet, but it also the most culturally advanced. Americans offer superior and entertaining insights into high literature and global culture, which is why you use our internet to come to our website and speak our language to discuss our literature with us

postmodernism ended after the 70s

I'm not sure why /lit/ seems to think that everything after the 20th century is postmodernism

and there is plenty of good modern art, just like there was plenty of bad old art

I would list some but it's pointless because you guys will just shit on it even though I doubt you've read it

>american normies who never received any art education

Right. That's why you're speaking American English over the American internet in order to discuss American culture and politics on an American image forum

You've been colonized by a superior civilization responsible for every modern comfort in your life because you're... smarter

Gentle reminder that America is the smartest nation in the history of the planet, which is probably why your daily life is dependent on her intellectual achievements

Gentle reminder that American kids, especially American university students, "get" everything--they're the planet's cultural and intellectual apex. American university students are the height of human intellectual achievement. Nothing flies over their heads because they decide what is permitted to fly in the first place. The fact that you're citing yet another American boy genius is proof of this empirical fact

>either youre lying or you went to university in america
Gentle reminder that the universities in the United States are better than literally every single academic institution in your entire nation's history

>But of course, it's the commercial success that you have at the same time that makes them think like they're qualified to give an opinion
You mean intellectual success. America is the smartest nation in the history of human civilization; its universities and scholars are the absolute elite of human intelligence. There is nobody better qualified to share their thoughts than an American because there is nobody who is smarter or more important. To put it in perspective, asking for your opinion would be like a Roman aristocrat asking the opinion of a barbarian Volsce on the fine literature. There is literally nothing you could offer that would be more interesting, educated, or noble than what an American would say

MIT, Stanford, and Harvard are all more prestigious than Oxbridge. Maybe 1000 years ago the finishing school for inbred upper class Brits was considered an intelligent place to be, but now that admissions officers can actually compare stats between students and admit people from outside a rapidly narrowing gene pool it's pretty clear that those shitholes can't compete with American geniuses

Americans are objectively the smartest people on earth, far smarter than you and your countrymen.

That's not a good explanation. Americans are the most intellectually successful people on the planet

Many Europeans are still having trouble processing that the United States has been their cultural and artistic superior since the end of World War II. Centuries of assumed intellectual dominance has robbed them of hunger and encouraged complacency, and now they're watching dumbfounded as their proles learn American English from American image forums and their elites enroll in American universities (which are internationally regarded to be much more prestigious than their own). Within a couple generations Europeans will culturally be more American than French or German or British, and the conversation will be moot.
