>From a /trad/ POV, what is the American tradition?

To conceive the Tragedy of Atlantis in a New World.

United States is a Masonic experience through and through. the United States of America has no ethno-nationalist identity. It was absolutely never meant to be that way. It was literally meant to be a giant Masonic experiment. Closest thing to any cohesive culture is that cohesion provided by Freemasonry and their stated ideals such as fraternity, equality, faith, hope, and charity, etc. and this is obvious even today. Of course such "high and lofty" ideals degenerate to something abominable such as LGBT rights and mutilation of the human gender.

America is a Masonic experiment of trying to create "Atlantis" (Literally means West Island) in a new world.

We all know what happened to Atlantis. The drowning is of course symbolical, it's the destruction and similar chaos that essentially destroys Amerishitland to rubble

The "Black Magicians" of Atlantis being nothing more than a metaphor for the Negroid races and primitive black magicians (of which Guénon talks the voodoo people being a literal vestiges of)

The Rap music is now the de-facto most popular music in America and the Negroid worship is also apparent (think of George Floyd's death, buried in a golden casket and the mystery schools where it says "Osiris is a Black God")

C.G Jung's observations concerning America:
>Another thing that struck me [in the American] was the great influence of the Negro, a psychological influence naturally, not due to the mixing of blood. The emotional way an American expresses himself, especially the way he laughs, can best be studied in the illustrated supplements of the American papers; the inimitable Teddy Roosevelt laugh is found in its primordial form in the American Negro. The peculiar walk with loose joints, or the swinging of the hips so frequently observed in Americans, also comes from the Negro.[3] American music draws its main inspiration from the Negro, and so does the dance. The expression of religious feeling, the revival meetings, the Holy Rollers and other abnormalities are strongly influenced by the Negro. The vivacity of the average American, which shows itself not only at baseball games but quite particularly in his extraordinary love of talking – the ceaseless gabble of American papers is an eloquent example of this – is scarcely to be derived from his Germanic forefathers, but is far more like the chattering of a Negro village. The almost total lack of privacy and the all-devouring mass sociability remind one of primitive life in open huts, where there is complete identity with all members of the tribe.
