Most Americans don't read anything other than school textbooks and they barely absorb information from them.

He said Americans would never develop literary talents.

How many moon landings does your faggy country have?

>>24488834
>he said we would never do X

It seems basic rhetoric isn't taught in America either.

Tocqueville was French retard

>>24488834
Zero, like everyone else. We can't actually make it through the van allen belt.

Eli Whitney was the inventor of the cotton gin you shit the fuck up

>predictable response
Your inferiority complex is showing, cuck.

>>24488851
Remind me, who was the first person in space? Oh, and also do tell me what space exploration has to do with literature.

>>24488858
What's that? Can't hear you up here.

>>24488868
This is Houston. Do you read? Who was the first person in space? Over.

>>24488834
>He said Americans would never develop literary talents.
No, he didn't.
You're a Jew, aren't you?
Khatami was close to helping Iran and USA become allies near the end of the 90s. Guess who got in the way? AIPAC and Jews.

>>24488874
I read, Houston. Some guy from a country that doesn't exist anymore. Over.

>>24488802 (OP)
No. If Americans read at all, they only read passages or chapters from books, and only the "diverse and inclusive" books the school system lets them read

>>24488880
Apollo-11, we're getting strange signals from you. This country certainly exists. I repeat, the year is 1969. We'll need to conduct a mental health check. Please name the following
>the full name of the first person in space
>the first probe in space
>the first probe to the Moon
>the first probe landing on the Moon
>the first probe to Mars
>the first probe to Venus
>the first EVA
Do you read? Over.

>>24488875
You never read the book

>>24488886
Sorry, Houston. All that's coming through is cope--our signal must be crossed with some fag from a shithole country sperging about his inferiority complex.

Anyway, check out this drive. Over.

>>24488842
Yea, but his most famous work is about America and he's included in the Library of America series.

>>24488894
Apollo-11, this is Houston. It appears that you’re getting signs of mental retardation. The crew on Earth is getting worried. We detect no pressure leaks in the descent module. Could you check that? Over.

Hey, Houston. I was just thinking about how that country that doesn't exist anymore had it's space program in Kazakhstan. Isn't it hilarious how it's known more for being the inspiration for Borat that it is anything to do with space exploration, over.

Apollo-11, this is Houston. We may have to call mayday on the operation. You have repeatedly stated that the USSR doesn’t exist. The year is 1969, I repeat, the year is 1969. The landing is being broadcast internationally. This may cause an international backlash. Apollo-11, I repeat. This is the only country on earth capable of annihilating the United States. We cannot afford this altercation. Over.

>>24488918
>This is the only country on earth capable of annihilating the United States
Take care of Ukraine first, sweatie.

Hello, Mr President? This is Houston speaking. We need to cut the broadcast and declare the Apollo astronauts MIA. The crew has gone insane, likely due to a pressure leak. They speak of some “Kazakhstan” and “Ukraine”. They say the USSR doesn’t exist. They refuse simple orders. We are worried, but there isn’t much we can do. They will forever be remembered as heroes. God Bless.

Lol

what even is this thread

>>24488848
I actually knew this but I don't know what a cotton gin is and I'm not going to look it up. I wish I knew what do with my life when I'm not working, reading, or shitposting, instead.

>>24488802 (OP)
Probably not but I have. I live in the rust belt not much to do here except read or loiter at gas stations. I have mixed feelings on him because he's a frog but I think most of what he was doing was what would become sociology. He's on point with mass democracy, as he wasn't a fan of it much, considering he lived just about after the bloody revolution. Though I prefer Le Bon's more polemical attack honestly.

>>24488977
Some europoor coping about not being relevant.

Iran is in the right.

>>24488834
Why do americans care about moon landings so much. Yeah you spent billions of dollars to make a couple guys walk around on an empty rock, good going retard. You could've spent that money on removing niggers or building cities look beautiful.

>>24489151
I'm willing to bet the US has more tourism income than whatever shithole you're seething in right now.

Is that what your single mother said to you when you were a kid?

>>24489290
I've never even seen a single mother. You must come from some loserville flyover state

Oh, she abandoned you. Sad.

He says that because he is not democracy brained like Americans are.

>>24489362
Bro has his non-insults prepackaged in tw*tter caps. (So much for that verbal iq). Why don't you piss off back to your echo chamber so you can at least enjoy your last days on earth before iran makes you go splat?

Is he worth reading as a francophile who hates America

>>24489327
The Jews themselves admit their left-wing revolution in education has failed. Not sure why you'd defend their failed policies. Everyone around the world knows American education has been a joke since (((they))) took over the schools in the 70s

>>24489427
I’d recommend it. At the very least it’ll help you articulate why you hate America—most of the analysis in DiA holds up pretty well

>>24489416

>>24489427
It can feel like a slog, but it's extremely informative and well-written. My advice would be to just pick random chapters whenever you feel like it rather than reading it front-to-back. It's structured in a way that every chapter is self-sufficient.
