You mad bro. The only man in all History of the United States that can be considered properly as a philosopher (Emerson) and you say "nah was a reactionary". You're a complete shithole country. Even Third World's countries like idk... Tanzania have a richer culture than yours. All the Americans are fucking illiterate people.
