Yeah

Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In-between the bright lights
And the far, unlit unknown
Growing up, it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass-production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer
Or the misfit so alone
Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth
Drawn like moths, we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night
Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight
Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights
Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Burgerpunk isn’t a genre, and good thing too — could you imagine such a pathetic farce of a genre? What pathetic little minds these people have to think the sum of their lives are petty work troubles and the Internet. I laugh at them

>The issue with Americans is that they falsely believe that "freedom" for everything is good
hit the nail on the head

Any books that celebrate the burgerpunk aesthetic and atmosphere?

What are some good burgerpunk books?

There’s unironically nothing wrong with this.

What are the best books with this aesthetic?

>it can never come back
It never left trannie
Tell that to Israel,Palestine,Ukraine,the balkans or Japan
>only japan is successful
Japan is ethnically homogenous,Japanese tech and culture spread without need for emigration or imigration.
Diversity is a fucking meme,you can have global market without ''one race'' bullshit,a world order that preserves the genetics of people would be great.
>it can never come back
''Democracy'' will never come back,America is directed towards civil war,it is inevitable,people won't be trying to restore a ''democracy'' while ''democracy'' is tearing itself appart.
The chances of a civil war happening eventually is 100%,all that is left is to accelerate it.

What do you think will happen to the world,when the most praised,idolized and ''free'' country on earth falls into bloody anarchy?
Do you think people will be more liberal?
Do you think people will want to be like it?
I don't.

The founding fathers predicted this,more and more problems are pilling up,and the American goverment is becoming less capable and more divided.
The 2 party system was predicted too.
Things like the EU are very much trying to become America,as America falls the dreams will be shattered,all the ''advancements'' of liberalism will be destroyed,and society will move forward.
Also no superpower is eternal,there is nothing to suggest the superpowers of today will last forever,all shall fall,nukes don't guarantee shit,especially in a civil war,liberalism is under great threat,Russia and China are putting up a great fight to destabilise the west,but Russia and China are surprisingly not stable themselves,you are told they are because the US wants to keep it's people loyal,docile,and productive.
It's easier and more profitable to allow people to migrate than to encourage people to reproduce too,especially in liberal society.
>>17031303
Correct

OP and this guy >>17032732
Idk if nationalism is the term you're looking for,a EU that wants to preserve each states genetic identity would work,but just can't happen with the EU of today.
>>17033040
Yes,there is a great difference,I don't deny that,certain states don't have clear racial phenotypes,however I think this divide existed even during the Roman Empire,the northern part was gallia cisalpina if I'm not wrong.

What would burgerpunk Fantasy be like?

What are some burgerpunk books?

People want to use Burger as insult for Americans culture. I say, game on. I present: Burgonzo

Other than Scruton, Bloom, Wolfe, Heard, Murray, and Kuspit who talks about the decline of literature and art as a whole? Trying to make a list

>today's world

No, but genre fiction, movies, video games and everything else containing stories was a mistake.
It fed people this false view of the world, and now everybody believes themselves to be living in some sort of a story. They think other people are just characters in their play, and that they will have an arc and live happily ever after. Worst of all, they believe themselves to be movie stars and act out the shallow tropes and roles that media feeds to them.

You might think it's something really interesting and fleshed-out, but all we have is this single image
that's right, there is absolutely nothing else but multiple (failed) attempts at somehow trying to make a description of america out of that

how do i get into american political philosophy? ive read common sense and am now reading the federalist papers

>as the forest give in to a towering yellow M and Shell logos on the road, nature was left behind, forward was the light, neon signs, hunger setting in, creeping feeling of light head of being driving hours on the I-XX, the wallet start to felt heavy on his pocket, that sweet sweet MC-XXX propaganda shine through it all, no, not Burguer King or Panda Express, cars passes, noise come by, and the hunger never give up, so it was decide, to stop for eat that poison, and the sudden realization, he didn't have any choice at all, everything was decided since the first spark of the universe, that sweet sweet MC-XX from the evil Clow was his, and as he was to owned by the burger. and all the capitalist machinery, money was never his at all, he was never he own master, the shadow lurking on his mind, a cog that control everything, he didn't control anything at all, just a robot, and MCdonalds know this, and know how to pull out of the road for the sweet sweet MC-Double.

what are the core values and messages of burgerpunk?

The funniest episode of The Sopranos was when Tony returned from Italy and during the car ride home from the airport he had a look of disgust as he passed by all the Burgerpunk scenery of New Joisey
