>"If America is the culmination of Western white civilization, as everyone from the Left to the Right declares, then there must be something terribly wrong with Western white civilization. This is a painful truth; few of us want to go that far. … The truth is that Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Marx, Balanchine ballets, et al., don't redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history; it is the white race and it alone—its ideologies and inventions—which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of life itself."
Holy...I want more.
What books by Susan Sontag should I read for more epic quotes like that?

how the hell do you reconcile that worldview with being a mdoern day liberal
white civilization has created the lifestyle you cherish so much and is necessary to maintain it
without white civilization ultrareactionary patriarchal people like myself or muslims will take over and get you back to the home where you belong
>Sontag was born Susan Rosenblatt in New York City, the daughter of Mildred (née Jacobson) and Jack Rosenblatt, both Jews of Lithuanian[5] and Polish descent.
Wow, Susan Sontag must have been a great person. Why can't more people be as humanitarian as her? *sigh*

Who declares that besides retarded, brainwashed/deluded Americans? Western civilization isn't culminated in one instance or particular expression of it, nor is America its 'peak', if it could even be said to have one, which I don't see how it can.

If you're a beta-virgin in a liberal world, what's to stop you from becoming a eunuch in a patriarchal world?
Her art stuff is good, I haven't read the rest of her works but indeed, IF America is the culmination of Western Society (and don't you dolts pretend this wasn't a fairly common affirmation to be made by an american 50 years ago - even today they'd still spill that shit) then indeed the West is absolute shit, because obviously, nothing that culminates in the US of A can not be shit.
The culmination of Western white civilization is Liechtenstein
