English language is one of the most beautiful languages for literature because of its versatility as both a Germanic and Latin language.

Any seething at this truth is done by nonwhites who speak a guttural Orcish black speech likely from a BRICShithole

I think Borges agreed with you

It’s true, but sometimes I feel that the Latin root and Classic influence can be a bit of a burden. There is just so much to dig up.

Every week there is a thread like this made by an insecure EFL barbarian. People of cultured languages with history such as Spanish, Arabic, and Russian don’t resort to such a sad defense mechanism like crying on 4chan.

English is great for dank reddit memes such as christcuck, midwit, libtard, wignat, but it completely fails as art expression. For something to be art it must transmit a feeling, and for feelings to be transmitted there must a transmission of concepts. If English speakers cannot even agree on the definition of “woman”, they can’t transmit concepts, and therefore can’t transmit feelings.

Classical Arabic started in the 7th century and peaked in the 11th. Germanic tongues were only starting to become literate languages through the Catholic institution.

English is undoubtedly a great language that a considerable share of the greatest literature is written in, however literature resonates most with a person's background rootedness when it can draw on their national language, because it draws upon the cultural repository that they were birthed from. The fact that you value the Latin and Germanic character of English is because it is your background. Some languages tend not to have much literature in their native tongue which results in the resentment OP is talking about.

I wouldn't put that on most anglophones, it's a vocal minority that the media loves to put the spotlight on. Considering how much time you need to blow on Twitter to get into that mindset I doubt they're contributing to much prose.

They are all like that though. The English language is a mental illness which is why no anglophone has ever produced: art, philosophy, or civilisation. They think that being able to split a continent into South and North makes it two different continents, and suddenly 2=1 and therefore women can have penises, bigot!
