Why are women incapable of appreciating high art? This thot's least favourite books she read in college are
The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Pale Fire
Heart of Darkness
The Crying of Lot 49

[Anonymous No.12454526]

I don't think "standing on the shoulders of giants" is something that is aptly expressed in learning for most things anymore. People fuelled by the desire to compete on the free market want to sell what they can claim to be theirs and only theirs, and thus have an arrogant desire to carve out their niche thinking they have no need for the canon or inspiration. Derivation is an insult in the trademarked world when it really should be a rite of passage. No respect. No reverence.

Men throughout history were a subject of selective breeding, resulting in a gender full of creative, emotionally deep people. Women were not, because nobody ever expected a woman to be anything but beautiful. As a result we have an extremely beautiful gender of emptyheaded subhumans. Until society admits it and stops worshipping females, they won't get a chance to actually improve.

Your mistake is thinking this means anything. unis are used as expensive daycare centers for upper to middle class yuppies. maybe 10% of graduates actually went there to learn and consequently learned something. the others just made donations to get a diploma and the subsequent job, having adsorbed nothing while there. also curriculum are a joke these days, due to needing to pass all the droves of troglodytes so their trustfund daddy who's bankrolling their collegial escapades will keep coughing up the dough.

I noticed women are completely incapable of appreciating literature when a "well-read" female friend of mine read The Stranger and what she got out of it was that "frenchmen are mean to muslims". I'm not saying that the book is good and she should appreciate it, but it made me notice how women can only interpret things in light of what is trending on the media or is happening on their lifes or immediate surroundings.

Modern women just make me depressed. One must really try to come up with anything that is redeemable or noble about women, anything at all, just one thing. So far, I haven't found any such thing. What even sadder is that knowing the glacial ratios of evolutionary growth, you can't blame their fucking state on evil jews or some other cultural phenomenon, they were always like this, since the dawn of history, in anything contemporary society simply let them run loose and exposed. And men, in their infinite naivete, went to war to fight for them, wrote countless poems, broke their backs building their comforts, and bloodied themselves in countless ways to bring them up, and for what?

The worst part about being Anglo must be that the Anglo has become the world default. Anglo culture is global culture, the English language is the global language, Anglo philosophy, despite its utter shittiness, is the global philosophy. Niggers aren't entirely wrong when they say that wypipo have no culture because everything particular to the Anglo has been made common to mankind. The Anglo is the only true blank slate in the world, everyone else has the baggage of a legacy and a heritage, everyone else has a grounded identity in race, faith, caste, not pop culture. The Anglo alone is devoid of a national language, national religion, national culture, national worldview or anything national at all. They probably deserve it for being Der Ewige Anglo for the last few centuries though

Replace anglo with American and you'd be correct.

Englishmen, Scotsmen, Irishmen, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans and, to a lesser extent, Canadians all are very similar. Traveling between the countries is largely a change of scenery and nothing else beyond a few colonial quirks, such as the Australian cultural cringe. The colonies are an extension of England.

America is a completely different beast. Americans behave differently, Americans have different values, Americans have a different culture. It's the American culture that is the global culture. They're the ones that made the English language as dominant as it is. They're the ones that lack a grounding in race, faith and caste (this point is honestly laughable, the Anglo-Saxons are a distinct race with their own Church). Any lingering anglo influence in America disappeared long ago.

I don't doubt that Americans lead the charge of the Anglo civilizational suicide but everyone in the Anglosphere follows the Yank and does as he commands. Yes, the Anglo-Saxon(-Celt) is a distinct race with their own church, the problem is that Anglos don't care about their race or their church or their class. The entire Anglosphere is largely characterized by commerical identities. If you ask the average 20 something Anglo who are they, they will not answer "an Anglo-Saxon of the Church of England," they will say that they are a labour party member who watches Rick and Morty and buys fucking funko pops. They consume American media, adopt American solutions to American problems, and follow the cultural shifts America makes every time. Why is the American civil rights movement taught outside America, why is it allowed to be used a guilt trip against Britons when the British government outlawed slavery and the British taxpayer was paying the debt for the emancipation of slaves until 2015? Why are all the films watched in the Anglosphere almost entirely the product of Americans? Why does the Anglosphere universally follow the Yank into his endless wars for kikes? You mentioned that South Africa with the rest of the Anglo colonies that has legitimate Anglo culture and identity, why then did no one in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, or Canada say a damned thing when South Africa was wrested from our hands? If we truly had a racial, religious identity we would have fought with our Christian, Anglo-Saxon kinsmen, not left them to the whims of savages. I don't see the Anglo ever recovering from the situation he has put himself in. He could get out, assert himself and return to tradition, but he won't.

Most men are atleast as bad. The reason why you notice women, and think that they are worse. Is because you are most likely a male, and as a male, you are hardwired to pay attention to women and what they are doing.

I used to think that and sure, most males are quite despicable, but the fact is that when I listen to the speech of even the most cucked effeminate soiboy I can notice the glimpses of introspection and inner analysis. When men behave reprehensibly, they do it with intellectual justification as opposed to women who seem to act out on pure instinct, or a sort of advanced mimicry.

Men could start to fix this if they refused to reproduce with shallow, vapid women. Not only would it lead to an evolutionary change over time, it would also push women to develop themselves intellectually, since most are under the impression that all they really need to do is be pretty. The problem is that it would be naive to expect the majority of men to choose a woman based on her mind rather than her body. It's much easier for them to settle for tinder thots than take the time to get to know a shy wallflower who can actually carry on an intelligent conversation about the world.

[Anonymous No.12460184]

>>12460030
In truth, this won't happen, because it simply doesn't need to happen. There's no social or evolutionary necessity for both genders to be highly developed. Men are just enough to fulfill all the intellectual tasks, while women do their part in pregnancy. Both genders being equally developed would be highly disruptive to society, as we already see in the western world, where people obsessing over the idea of total equality. The cure isn't for men to stop dating 'vapid women', but society rethinking it's ways of understanding human worth. There's nothing wrong with women being just objects of aesthetic admiration, in fact, there's complex, studiable biology involved in human beauty and the process of selecting partners based on genetic perfection is far from simplistic. Instead, society today lives in a state of constant cognitive dissonance, where women are in truth admired only for their aesthetic beauty, but because we consider this alone to be 'vapid' and shameful to be attracted to beautiful humans, the desire for women is sublimated into grotesque justifications of greater romance, like love, soulmating, character, intellect etc.
