Want to learn more about America. Is it fine if I just jump straight into reading this or should I consult other texts before doing so?

Jump straight into it. It’s a great book about early America before the progressive era.

But with slavery, no women's rights, and laws against miscegenation, faggotry and trannyism.

What’s there to learn about United Statesians exactly? I’m confused. They’re totally irrelevant from a backwater shithole obsessed with guns, Jesus, israel, and niggers. They’ve contributed virtually nothing to world literature or fine arts and everything to destroying it (and planet earth). No great writers, no great artists, no great playwrights, no great composers, and no great philosophers - and no, “pop culture” does not count as culture and Lil Nigga Da Rapper does not counter a philosopher. They’re fat and retarded. You can learn nothing about United Statesians except maybe how to get type 2 diabetes.

Progressive meant several things over the years. The founders were all deist and forward thinking science lovers. Poetic spirt was a bisexual, the mass immigration brought a lot of atheists and socialists. After the war to free slaves, industrialism really took off and the working class were often at odds with the bosses. Pseudosciences of eugenics and phrenology came from the racist Democrats. Progressives of the day where wedge to try and peel away, buy off, workers from their socialist idea so freedom and justice (yes, socialism IS the pursuit of the American dream). Progressive and socialist ideas weren’t allowed to become policy till after the collapse of the Great Depression, which whiteout such reforms would have broken the whole nation up. New Deal progressive era was different from the Spencerian variety of the 1800s. But now it’s just a puppet on a stick. We’re a fascist nation now.

It’s Rei from Mexico

He doesn't sound like Rei. Dei doesn't use words like "retarded" (or any low tier insults).

If this Rei fellow's taste in girls is nominatively determined he doesn't seem too bad a chap.
