It just shows one side of the american conception of nature as an object intended for human use. In this case it is presented to be used as a rest place, but that only legitimizes its later use, once we have rested enough, as a source to provide for our sick caprices.

Wait, how the fuck was Thoreau a beta male? The man was a fucking ubermensh if I have ever seen one. He was /fit/, intelligent, self-sufficient, talented as fuck in many different areas of science and math as well as art and philosophy, didn't give a fuck about what people thought about him, gave his opinions honestly despite the consequences, risked his life helping slaves, and told Eurofags to fuck off.
He's like the polar opposite of what a basement dwelling neckbeard is today. I hope one day I can be as much of a man as he was.
As for his literature, he is pretty good. I think his literature was popular merely for his status back then though. His subject matter doesn't impress me as much as his honesty and way with words.

This begs the question: if one is not dedicated, can they call themselves a shitposter?

Thoreau is the archetype for American males who espouse the "le mindfulness meditation xD" and "le minimalism" memez
under the guise of self-improvement but plainly a neurosis of involuntary celibacy

I really don't know what the fuck you are on about, but you use lots of thesaurus words so you must be right.
You are the archtype of every contrarian fedora neckbeard poster that attacks the content of a artist using his following as your only cheap ammunition instead of saying anything meaningful to the actual work itself.
