American writers are all faggots.
Can /lit/ name a single one that isn't a pretentious """artist""" or hippie cunt?

Duh, Melville. Although he was in love with a hippie cunt (Hawthorne), he himself was not one. Also, my man Gene Wolfe was a tradcath graduate of the Dr. Johnson school of writing.

>libertarianism is perhaps THE mode of thinking for art.
Anon, I...all the best art of the world comes from “authoritarian”(meme term but that’s for another day) states. Athens wasn’t libertarian, or any ancient Indian states, or ancient China or renaissance Italy or early modern Flanders or blah blah. Western art basically peaked c. 1500
