Why is there no sub-saharan african literature of great value?

because sand isn't that inspirational

Things Fall Apart?

It was written 200 BCE in India. Am I being gaslit?

ask yourself: if it didn't exist, would the world be any different than it is today? its worthless nigger trash

Literature has typically been European culture

What it was a good book. The author is a complete nigger and idiot though. Fuck that guy, but still kudos to him for Things Fall Apart.

Epic of Gilgamesh is our oldest known work of great literature, which came from the east in Mesopotamia.
Civilisations give way to literature.
The Arabs were also once great scholars, writers and philosophers.
The seat of the world changes over time.
Great centers of innovation become wastelands.

Things Fall Apart is one of the best novels written since WWII. I honestly think it’s better than Ulysses, but the. Again , I think nearly everything else is better than Ulysses.

The bible has some good yet farfetched stories in it. Its one of the best absurdist realistic fiction books out there

why are there no race bait memes of any value?

Because there are no memes of any value. Memes as we have come to know them a pre discursive poison.

I'll have you know that, as of now, this thread is 29 replies worth

You're not clever nor funny, you simply waste everyone's time.

yes, memes are degenerate signs. its a bad concept, but what you say about them being pre discursive touches on their status as replicators which is something semiotics often neglects.
anyways that isn't pertinent to the fact that racists cant meme and make everything worse than it already is. this impudent bait has been cast countless times already.

at least my waste goes in the toilet, unlike you

Africans in africa were essentially perfected for their environment; with the conquest of european nations and advent of colonialism in general, they were thrust into an entirely foreign situation. You cannot expect a race of hunter-gatherers and tribalists to miraculously enter into the same category as other races. Especially when there's no reward for doing so. Their fellow africans didn't care for literature and europeans did not value their opinions.

In America slavery + jim crow virtually destroyed any chance of africans having worthwhile literature due to poor education and devaluing of said subjects. There are some notable exceptions, such as My Bondage and Freedom by fred douglass, but I partially suspect the purpose of this thread is not to ask a legitimate question, but to confirm preconceived notions you've found through /pol/ and other retards. Rest assured, emphasis on POC writers is coming, and a few of those works will be of value, and become classics.

>Rest assured, emphasis on POC writers is coming, and a few of those works will be of value, and become classics.
No they wont'. Which is why I'm glad literature is dying.

You'd have to be brain-dead to think pieces of literature will no longer become classics.

The “pre” was a typo made due to autocorrect and my lack of proofreading.

There isn’t a group of people out there who “can’t meme.” “Memeing” as we know it is a form of discourse so simple that anyone and everyone can do it and most of them can do it well.

> You cannot expect a race of hunter-gatherers and tribalists to miraculously enter into the same category as other races.
I think you’re vastly oversimplifying precolonization African societies.

Not by nigger "writers". They just can't write that good. Low IQ. Always about race bait with no aesthetic value. Feels like finger-nagging more than literature. And on top of that nobody reads anymore, which means nobody will give a fuck about nigger works in the future but SJWs and liberal academics, if any.

I'm talking about sub-saharan africans specifically.

My point still stands.

Okay I lol'd

>Low IQ
If we're to ignore the lack of academic agreement on this stance, we can easily point to slavery & jim-crow to explain the problems with african-american intelligence. Plenty of people read, and I'm certain reading will make a resurgence the more technology takes precedence in society. Regardless of the masses reading, there are still groups of individuals dedicating to finding classic literature (the nobel organization comes to mind).

(Your race is dying and there's nothing you can do about it, btw. The only reason you're talking like this on Yea Forums is your inability to do so in normal society. Your viewpoints are archaic; and would get your ass beat in any public space. Enjoy bowing down to your kalergi-plan overlords in the next 100 years.)

Give me an example, then.

>we can easily point to slavery & jim-crow to explain the problems with african-american intelligence
how many decades has it been since they received equal rights?
why are they the only minority group in america that can't seem to fit in?

slavery ended in the 1800s, though. They haven't written anything of calue since then. ALWAYS some political nonsense.

Why do you expect 400 years of slavery and 100 years of jim crow's effects to be ended in 54 years?
>why can't they fit in
What are you talking about? African-americans dominate our culture. If you're talking about crime/intelligence, then it's obviously a result of the aforementioned problems. No other race was in our country to the scale of africans prior to immigration acts in the 60's. The majority of the non-african minorities who now inhabit our country are immigrants, meaning they were (with a few exceptions) subject to immigration procedures. This weeds out many undesirables, improving the sample population.

Slavery ended in the 1860's (replaced with sharecropping) and jim crow ended in 1965 (only 54) years ago. If you don't know why jim crow + slavery would make a group of people less intelligent then I can't help you.

>why is x not the same as y
Gee I wonder bill

you don't have an answer, do you?

So Africans have evolved to be less intelligent than whites. Thanks you agree with us. However, BLM and giving blacks money isn't the solution. They can only get smarter if they're given their own society and eliminate the undesirables of the population thus enabling intelligence and prosperity.

You're comparing two completely different regions; my answer is that they are completely unrelated. The burden is on you to prove why they're in any way similar.

Your waste goes out your mouth.

their nigger cousins in africa were free and still were retarded like them. they just don't have them in them. you can mention every pretext and excuse you want but it all boils down to their lack of everything. they aren't artists. they can get to be artisans at best.

>africans have evolved to be less intelligent
That's not how evolution works.
>in africa they were free
Have you ever heard of colonialism?

Europeans were barbarous in Plato's era. Populations change based on desirability. Africans desire ruthlessness and savagery, if they killed off those parts of the population and valued intellect they'd be fine. Again, even in America blacks idolize rappers and BLM chooses criminals as their martryrs.

>not enough food security and basic economic infrastructure
idk Rhodesia had a lot of food I wonder how it's going for Zimbabw- OH NO NO NO NO NO

>The burden is on you to prove why they're in any way similar
oh now i understand, you're totally unaware of the history of the balkans
let me put it to you like this: the balkans was ruled by the ottoman empire, a foreign empire with totally different traditions and customs, for about 400 years and they did jack all to develop the area
it is very similar to colonialism in a way

so why aren't the people in the balkans as violent or as dumb?

Why didn't they just fix it?

>Have you ever heard of colonialism?
they were waaaay behind europeans in every aspect of society. that's why they got raped. let's not act as if they were wakanda. the typical nigger excuse for sucking so much is "muh wyt man". maybe they should just kill themselves.

The sustainability of you and your fellow niggers depends entirely upon European and North American Agriculture. If the doctrine of staunch individualism in the West recedes to a type of racial collectivism seen back in the 30's, it is game over for the repugnant, mud-skinned, apelike primates south of the Sahara.

Yes it is how evolution works. That's literally the definition of evolution, especially with the heritability of parental genes. Colonialism was bad because Europeans gave free shit to Africans and didn't enable them to think or achieve anything for themselves. Colonialism was generally good for the Africans quality of life. I don't deal with brainwashed morons too, so please don't reply with your emotional unthoughtful bullshit.

>Europeans were barbarous in Plato's era.
Yet they still managed to produce art of worth that's still read and studied these days. Really makes you think.

They are. They're retarded compared to the rest of Europeans.

because le wyte pipo bad

Yeah because they successfully neutered their population and you're seeing the affects of that today. Petty criminals were given the death penalty, and today black criminals are proclaimed innocent even with unsurmountable evidence.

The balkans was part of multiple empires which worked to improve the area; it contained multiple civilizations, all which produces literature, technology, art, etc. They were not thrust into civiliation as were many africans, and they were not discriminated against based on race. The most evidence I see for discrimination is lack of improvement and jizya. And your point doesnt stand, the balkans are still have a lower IQ than the rest of europe. If anything, this supports my claim.

This reminds me of trying to discover ancient recipes when no one wrote them down. An Africanist or anthropologist might be able to conceive of the stories emergent from an African life. I wish there was some books of Herero poetry about herding and sunsets and loving livestock.

[The Gauginese have always been a tenuous and, honestly, tedious ally of the F.D.S and the acceptance of the freed slaves from their prosperous, autocratic shores into the creation of this nation- labor stock or house stock, does it matter? Melanin is melanin- [note: at least the house stock do not file their canines or scar their faces like savages.] - but we cannot deny the power that these leisure-hungry, slave-trading, modern-emperors that hold a monopoly on almost seventy-two percent of the global economies physical labor. Manufacturing. Agriculture. Mining. Industrial. Commercial. From the sugar cane fields to the cash register behind the counter of Baron Subs. A gauginese does not view its own people as, well, people. Not objects either. Does a person look at their dog and see a lamp? No, of course not. These doctors cannot get everything right. A pet- an owned organism- not everyone is a psychopath. Or a sociopath. To garner a connection to the sophisticated neoteny that is evolution- how can we deny ourselves this?

No, for them to have evolved less intelligence, the individuals with lower intelligence would have had to produce much more children than those with high intelligence. But you have no evidence to suggest this.

Do we really need a thread on this everyday? Everyone knows niggers don't make good writers and obviously a Continent of illiterates who didn't have a written language until recently is going to have little impact on the literary world.

Low effort bait but i'll respond for the sake of newfriends. Funny you mention african-americans specifically when they are demonstrably more intelligent and function better than their pure-blooded African counterparts by virtue of their white (usually 10-25% iirc) admixture. The entirety of sub-saharan history, whether it be before colonization, imported to the new world, or after colonization, all point to the same conclusion that this consistent under-performance is innate. Intelligence has a majority genetic component, the genes themselves are being found, and they are more common among more intelligent groups. This is a scientific question, and it has been settled.

However the average IQ in Turkey (former "oppressor") is lower than that of the Balkans.

Based

No, because polbabs need to constantly reassure their shit and tranny r*dditors have to show just how le intelligent and cosmopolitan they are thanks to their lack of pattern recognition skills.

they're late to the party anyway lmao literature is dying, that's a fact. the best years for it have already passed.

I'm not a psychic. But things are improving. Crime rates are going down, higher education is on the rise. You can't undo centuries in 54 years. I'm certain in a few centuries africans wont even exist as they do now in america, they'll just be blended into the other races.

>higher education is on the rise
this isn't good.

You need to work on your English.

Yes I do, because there are several intelligent blacks in my university, thus confirming an intelligent black is possible, and confirming the stupider blacks represent a larger portion of the gene pool.

Communist Manifesto....

There's not a scientific consensus, and for you to say otherwise is laughable. It's even more laughable that you think 5 centuries of little to no education has no effect on IQ.

I'm from Qatar and started learning it 3 years ago, i already speak it better than 90% of my country and at a level where i am easily understood

Why shift the goalposts? You said blacks evolved to be stupid, not that blacks ARE stupid. In order for a species to evolve, it has to undergo a process called natural selection. Do you have any evidence to support your claim?

Isn't that they're problem? Europeans had schools, Asians had schools, even some Native Americans had schools. Being a retard is their fault.

Lack of education at the time was race based.

Never heard of Coetzee?

And? The fact that such a short sentence prompts me to criticize your English as a whole, should really accentuate a need for improvement. Still, best of luck you ESL bastard

I will try to improve, thank you fren

His english was unironically fine and easy to understand.

In Africa? How? Tell me why didn't they set up schools for themselves without using excuses and boogeymen.

>tell me why a continent didn't make a school
Who are you talking about? The emphasis on education for working class people didn't occur until a few centuries ago, even in europe. Why would hunter gatherers and tribes make a school?

Lack of scientific consensus is because studies that attempt to challenge the religious dogma of racial equality will be shut down for "being unethical". I think such a thing happened recently to some Dane/Norwegian who wanted to study if your race gives you a predisposition to develop a certain personality or something.

I'm saying blacks evolved to be stupid because blacks are stupid. That's my evidence.

You're an idiot then. Worse then him because you're probably a native speaker who is incapable of noticing obvious flaws in the one language you speak.
Godspeed fren.

why didn't their aristocracy write anything of worth, then? you can come up with any excuse you want, but at the end of the day the answer is because niggers are retards. period.

Yeah, but they don't have to be retards.

We're disagreeing on a semantic level; what you're really trying to say is "blacks are less evolved." The way you're wording it implies natural selection, which would require evidence.

we have genetic evidence too but whatever

I wish you could understand how stupid you sound.

Depending on where you're talking about, they didn't have an aristocracy, because it wasn't necessary. But again, you're asking about an entire continent filled with diverse cultures and history. The people I assume you're picturing are sub-saharan africans, who, like I said, had no reason to develop the complex social structures and society that europeans did. They were perfect for the environment they inhabited, and had no need to create civilization.

It's not like they're pathetic children that need to be told what to do. They chose to revel in their own filthy retardation.

Literally a typo. If that's the foundation of your argument, that's embarrassing.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, idiot. Just because everyone's a knuckle scarping idiot, that doesn't mean you need to be.

Why are you so bitter? Is it because you can't spell basic words?

Maybe, but that's a common misspelling among supposedly native speakers, like their, there, and they're. I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt since the keys A and E are indeed set close.

Get it all out, buddy. It must be difficult being incapable of expressing your views outside of a basket weaving forum.

So you're saying colonization is good? Nice.

The romans praised the German tribes for their monogamy, it's in tacitus. Tacitus in general i think is going to be scrubbed from history because of all the problematic shit he said, especially about Jews.

Yes??? Colonization created india, china, japan, USA, canada, etc. and caused an explosion in wealth and civilization. Why would I dislike colonization?

Actually it's genetic evidence as well. Aryan invasion is real. And Yamnaya are as european as it gets. They replaced pretty much all pre-yam population on the paternal line, especially in northern europe. Despite millenia of mixing and genocide populations like the poles for example are still nearly half yamnaya.

If you don't like to think of europeans as superior, thinks of yamnaya as it. In the end it's the europeans which have the highest admixture still in existance.

Pretty much every region in the world (save Sub-Saharan Africa) has literature of worth so the muh cultural obscurity card is nonsense here. Asia, Middle East, India, etc. Latin America has only been independent for 200 or so years yet they have produced a stronger body of literature than Sub-Shit Niggers. Explain that.

Ancient Ghana

The oldest of the three empires, ancient Ghana at its height ruled territory comprising what we would now call Ghana, Senegal, Gambia, Mauritania, Guinea and Mali, located between two great rivers: the Senegal and the Niger. Timbuktu was founded during the dominance of the Ghana empire, in around AD 1100, by Sanhaja desert nomads, who had a tradition of camping near the Niger in the dry season and taking their animals inland to graze during the rainy season.

There are several explanations for the origin of the name of the famous city. One account suggests that, while the nomads were away, their belongings were entrusted to their slaves, one of whom was called Buktu. The campsite thus became known as 'Tim Buktu', meaning 'well of Buktu'. What began as a semi-permanent nomadic settlement evolved into town and, ultimately, into a city that, between 1100 and 1300, was a thriving economic centre.

Located at a hub of commercial exchange between Saharan Africa, tropical Africa and Mediterranean Africa, Timbuktu was a magnet that attracted both men of learning and men of commerce. It benefited from the gold trade coming from the southern reaches of West Africa – in the 14th century, approximately two thirds of the world's gold came from West Africa – as well as from the salt trade arriving via the Sahara.

The products that reached Timbuktu included textiles, tea and, later, tobacco. Judging from the number of poems about tea found among the manuscripts of Timbuktu, this was clearly a special commodity. Timbuktu scholar Ahmed Baba gave his approval to tobacco in his On the Lawfulness of Tobacco Usage, in which he claimed that it was neither a narcotic nor an intoxicant!

However, the most profitable trade items in Timbuktu were books. Buying them was considered a socially acceptable way of displaying wealth and a great source of prestige. For instance, an old Timbuktu chronicle Tarikh al Fettash reveals that the king bought a great dictionary for the equivalent price of two horses.

YOu presume high IQ as equally distributed in the first place. High IQ is something your genes have t work for to archive because of pressures, not the other way around. See winter theory. The status quo was 60s in terms of IQ at best, your IQ will only increase if needed for survival, because cognitiv functions are fucking nutritionally expansive. It'S the highest energy burner in your body. If your envoirement doesn't pressure you through harsh conditions to evolv a higher IQ to cope, you remain a brainlet and in afric you can pick a banana from a tree all year around. You don't need high IQ to survive. On the contrary all high Q populations become less fertile as they rationalize child birth to be too much of a hassle. IQ isn't the best shit since sliced bread. It's a tool with sideeffects only evolving when really needed. Africans didn't need high IQ, just to be intelligent enought to get by.

>According to Leo Africanus in A History and Description of Africa (c. 1526):

There, too, they sell many handwritten North African books, and more profit is to be made there from the sale of books than from any other branch of trade.

>Askiya Daud (r. 1549–82), the fifth ruler of the Askiya dynasty, established public libraries and employed calligraphers to copy books for him, some of which were then given as gifts to scholars.

Some books also named the proofreaders and the vocalisers (i.e. scholars who added vowels to Arabic), and often they mentioned for whom the manuscript had been copied, the monies involved, who provided the blank paper, and the dates of the beginning and ending of the copying of each volume. Many copyists wrote 140 lines of text per day, while the proofreaders read 170 lines daily. >The proofreader of one particular multi-volume text was paid half a mithqal (1.75–2.5g) of gold per volume while the copyist received one mithqal (3.5–5g).

The name of that book? Milk and honey

>Bantu

>Two-line Bantu (or Abantu) poetry developed from the Bantu people of Africa (speakers of the Swahili, Kinyarwand, Kirundi, Zulu, Xhosa and other related languages). It arose from the oral tradition of “call and response.” In the rhythm of their work and perhaps in the spirit of a game or to relieve boredom, people would call out to each other. The first speaker called out a line that contained an image. A second speaker replied using a second image. This second image was meant to function as an elaboration or metaphor of the first.

1. It has two lines.
2. Each line contains an image.
3. The two images work together to form a metaphor.
4. Bantu don’t have titles.
5. There are no rules about rhyme, rhythm or line length.

>What does a Bantu poem look like? Sheila Bender used the Bantu poetry prompt in classes she taught. Here are student samples from her book Writing Personal Poetry:

Wire hangers on a bar in the closet
Wild geese walking by a lake.

Children in a circle on the floor
The beaded necklace

>Writing Bantu poems is an exercise in metaphor-making. Bender reminds us to include images of sound, taste and smell as well as touch and sight.

>Some ways Bantu could be included in your daily routine is to make a list of seven first lines at the beginning of the week with a goal to complete them all by week’s end. >You could also have a friend or family member challenge you with first lines, or involve the whole family by posting a list of first lines on the fridge or bulletin board for anyone to supply a response. Of course though these short poems are little creations in themselves, the metaphors that they bring to mind could also be used in other writing.

Just because more retards get approved for uni doesn't mean they become more intelligent. Same thing happening with german "abitur". Where everybody gets a great A level to go study, while our PISA stats are rapidly falling. Teachers simply push them through with much better grades than which they deserve, especially non-germans.

IQ doesn't magically rise within your lifetime. Even nutritionally deficient populations will only get a small benefit in that regard. It's not enough to make a hunter gatherer believing that eating a albino childs leg or rapid an infant will cure them from AIDS into a genius.

This takes millenia in the higher order. Something those people don't have the time for. Their only genetical chance of survival is getting mixed to the poit of not beeing black anymore, gen editing or somehow getting rid of the rest of the world if they don't want to get uuga boogaing into the night.

Natural selection has no power to push them to be equals anymore.

It's alredy happening. While everbody with any educaion at all knew him 100 years back, today you will be hard pressed to find an academic which doesn't specifically study history to recognize him.

Yeah, sure. Just let me get my migrational statistics from the soros foundation.

>Timbuktu books

>The documents that have been preserved range from one-page fragments to hundreds of pages – one example cited by John O Hunwick and Alida Jay Boye in their masterly The Hidden Treasures of Timbuktu (2008) is a letter of 482 pages. The Timbuktu manuscripts mainly comprise Korans, Koranic exegesis, collections of Hadiths, writings on Sufism, theology, law and other closely related disciplines. By the 15th century, Timbuktu scholars were producing original works as well as compiling new versions and commentaries on established texts.

>There are also commercial documents. These typically begin with the phrase: 'Let all who read this document know ...' followed by the names of buyer and seller, a detailed description of the product, a declaration of the legal validity of the sale, a confirmation that the purchaser paid the price in full and, finally, the name of the drafter and the date. Legal documents also include a statement of the validity of the contract, confirming that the parties were legally competent, free from restraint and in full possession of their mental faculties, and that the transaction was lawful according to Islamic law. They typically end with the phrase: 'Praise to God and blessings upon the Prophet.'

>The reading and writing of poetry was important in these cultures. Among the Timbuktu documents are verses devoted to the Prophet and to the adoration of a particular woman or man, and poems about tea. Poetry was written when a person died, to be read at their funeral. Even works on grammar and law were rewritten in verse to facilitate ease of learning.

>A number of manuscripts were written in Ajami – Arabic script used to write local languages. There are Ajami manuscripts in Songhay, Wolof, Hausa, Fulfulde and Tamasheq. These texts are concerned with botany, diplomatic correspondence, occult sciences, poetry and traditional medicine.

So, the muzzies which had a traid station in Timbuktu and implemented islam, also told them to write. What exactly does this have to do with african accomplishments?

>7 Fascinating Myths and Legends From Namibia

>Myths and legends left behind by ancient Namibians have been kept alive through an oral tradition passed down from generation to generation. Representing the tribes’ beliefs regarding religion, the origins of life, or simply tales of pre-historic animals, these stories help us shed light on the country and culture we know today. Here are just a few to get you started.

>Fairy circles in the desert
>Among the many natural wonders of the Namibian desert are its fairy circles: hundreds of circular patches scattered across barren land. Many urban myths have emerged as to the origin of these unique circles, with some claiming that they are footprints of God. According to one oral myth of the Himba, the circles were left by gods, while another has it that an ancient dragon living beneath the earth’s crust burns the vegetation on the surface of the earth by breathing fire onto it.

You're retarded if you don't think that chinks and indians don't produce good literature. It's just niggers who can't into literature or art in general.

Did jewish heretics tell europe what to write by virtue of being correligionists? Moving these goalposts must be an exhausting strain on you.

>The legend of Haitsi Aibeb

>Haiseb or ‘Haitsi Aibeb’ is said to have saved the world from a monster which had caught many travellers in its pit. According to oral tradition, the demon sat beside his pit and mocked anyone who passed by. He challenged these passersby to throw a stone at him, and most of the time they did, even though the stones would bounce off him. He would then use this opportunity to catch the passersby off guard and throw them into his pit. Haiseb eventually overpowered the demon, saving the world in the process.°
>Haiseb is also highly revered because the moon and the stars are said to have risen from his breast. He saved the animal world by removing lions nesting in trees and fish from the desert. The grave of Haiseb is said to be in different locations; either along walkways or near waterholes. These graves are called “Haitsi Aibeb” (“the grave of Haiseb, a deity”) . Travellers have since then always placed stones and other offerings on the graves. Anyone visiting these graves is expected to show respect and upon leaving, should never turn back.

>The legend of Makuru

>The Herero legend about the origin of men says that Makuru, and his wife Kamungarunga descended from the roots of a sacred tree known as the Omumborombonga. The scientific name of this tree is Combretum imberbe but it’s also commonly known as leadwood, literally meaning ‘the tree of lead’ because of its inability to float on water. The Herero also believe that their prized cattle descend from the leadwood tree, while other animals and tribes descend from common flowers and have crawled out of the earth. The Omumborombonga is revered as the ‘father of life’ and when the Herero come across these trees they show respect to it by throwing twigs at its roots.

>The Khwe and the elephant

>The Kwhe people from the Zambezi region of northeastern Namibia believed that elephants were originally human and so their myths depict elephants as strong and wise chieftains and police officers. In one story, the elephant gets its nose stretched out after beating a hippo in a game of tug-of-war. In another story, the elephant gets its nose stretched after a fight with a crocodile. The second story serves as a warning to people about an elephant’s temper.

>The Mantis and the San

>Mantis was the giver of life and the original giver of fire. The San do not regard the mantis as a god, but rather as a higher form of a human who represents the San’s idea of the ideal person. They represented him well in their ancient rock art which can still be seen across rocky and mountainous regions in Namibia. Mantis is said to have brought the San fire by snatching it from beneath an ostrich’s wings. The ostrich kept fire under his wings to prepare his food which tasted so much better than everyone else’s. The mantis, used to eating his food raw, tricked the ostrich and snatched the fire for himself. It is said that this humiliating loss is the reason why ostriches cannot fly, choosing opting to keep their wings pressed tight to preserve the little fire they have left

Ya it can be good but not great

Japanese Literature is great you fucking nog. There’s a difference between being rationally prejudice and just straight up ignorant

>coreligionists
user, way to show that you fundamentally do not understand christianity (catholicism) and judaism. There is no "co" in them. They are the polar opposites ad the one exits through defining itself as beeing opposed to the other by death. Don't comment and shit which you do not understand.

jesus christ this guy b talking about a whole lot of shit that dont make sense

Maybe if you would stop beeing a brainlet, it would make sense.

unlike europe where food and an economy just fell from the sky so people could actually sit down and write.
