English language, too long have I forsaken you. Wanton fascination for foreign letters has kept me apart from my sweet native tongue far too long.How does one cure xenophilia and reestablish one's natural and only roots? I would forget all my foreign languages if I could, but that will take time.

>>23321054>How does one cure xenophilia and reestablish one's natural and only roots?I cured it by learning Chinese and Japanese. After years of consuming their mid to cesspool SHIT tier media, I decided to take a break and watch an American film one day and the spell was broken completely. I realized I just wasted my time learning one language to talk to faggots I hate, and another to read yandere manga. Well, I still read manga and watch anime, but I haven't used my Chinese in quite a fucking while. I've been reading a shit ton of Elizabethan and Jacobean era literature along with taking a trip through the history of American literature. Some good shit, finally.
>>23322388Oh, and Japanese literature is dogshit. DOGSHIT. Or rather, their novelists are. Don't fucking tell me about, oh, Kawabatos or Yakio Mashimas. Now, Souseki is good. Genuinely good. But I've read quite a bit of Japanese literature now and I think it's safe to say that it is NOT as good as it's purported to be. You know why Akutagawa is so good? Because he writes Japanese like a westerner. Their poetry is nice, though.
