In 1850 america pretty much said to europe "thanks for the literature, we'll take it from here."

I like you, anon, because you're right.

By 1865 it was over. Whitman delivered the knockout.

"America is the cultural top of the world, and my books are viewed in Europe as realistic critiques of America—at least by those Europeans who worship and loathe America equally and wish they were Americans and wonder why they’re not the height of culture for the entire world."

then america grabbed the literature out of europe's hands, made a run for it, got like twenty meters away and then stumbled and tripped and swayed and like plummeted head first into a puddle.
Europe came up slowly, got the literature back and asked "are you okay".
America said yeah, don't worry, this is water.

Americans are good, but they can't think the grand metaphysical questions.

They can ponder them but their originality is limited.

The only fully original thing that has come out of American literature is Moby Dick. That book is so strange, bizarre yet captivating and magical, that I still can't understand how an American wrote it.

You should probably learn how to speak English before opining on English-language literature.

A prize of 1,000,000 Euros was to be awarded to the first person to discover a horse with black and white stripes like a zebra.

The German thought it'd be best to spend weeks in the National library researching horses with black and white stripes.

The Englishman went straight to a shop that specialises in hunting gear, bought all the equipment necessary, and set off for Africa in his quest for the strange creature.

The Frenchman bought himself a horse, painted it black and white, and tried to argue the officials.

The Spaniard went to the best restaurant in Madrid, ordered an expensive meal for himself with a fine bottle of wine. After the meal he ordered an expensive Havana cigar and a Napoleon brandy, sat in a luxurious arm-chair in the hotel, and began to consider what he would do with the 1,000,000 Euros once he had found this remarkable horse with black and white stripes.

Moral of the story, Germans are autistic.
>>
>>8056556
Germans overthink things, Englishmen are analytic fools looking for answers that aren't there, the French are sly cunts that sophist their way out of things and the Spaniards are lazy cunts that spend money they don't have PAY DEBTS
>>
>>8056575
I expected a different ending though. Not sure which one.

>>8056556

While the others are stereotypes, the joke is, ultimately, about the Spanish.
