>people from the midwest think they're ever going to understand literature

I'm going to tell you nice and simple.

You are too dumb. You are too uncultured. You will never become smart enough, or cultured enough. Go back to watching The Voice, and leave literature to your coastal betters :)

Chicago has one of the world's most aesthetic skylines by virtually every measure. Lots of architecture and design history having taken place here contributed to that. Frank Lloyd Wright famously disparaged the chaotic ugliness of New York's skyline. However, I suppose one of the reasons for this is that Chicago's downtown is relatively small, so it could be more carefully organized, compared to the organic mass of buildings that is Manhattan.

Perhaps.
>and no one can really oppose us.
This isn't so. The force monopoly ascribed to this particular state is in a position comparable to that of the late Russian empire. Where the Russians threw humans at the problem of decay in logistical and military technique, we throw capital. I anticipate we will see in our lifetimes the first invasion of this nation state since the war of 1812.

Coastal fags have completely sold their lives purpose to egoism. Rampant depression and hedonism. The saddest and most perverse of human development.

DFW got this. Your ""culture"" is pathetic and backwards. You worship entertainment, pleasure and ego. You are not confident enough to consider yourself an individual. Kill yourself.

The west coast has only three cities-- LA, SF, Seattle-- of which are all liberal shit holes. Furthermore, the only "culture" the west coast has is Hollywood, which is fucking shit and unoriginal, and DUDE WEED LMAO. East coast is the literal foundation of America, where the majority of its cities are located. On top of that, the culture here is more diverse than on the west coast, you faggot.
