The Greatness of the Melting Pot

I am an American, from my mon­grel blood to my world views (I’m talk­ing ideal American, not the mod­ern polit­i­cal major­ity). Being American puts me in the unique posi­tion of being able to enjoy the ben­e­fits of the so-called melt­ing pot that is my coun­try. The melt­ing pot involves the mix­ing and exchange of var­i­ous bits of var­i­ous cul­tures; one such bit is fusion foods, foods that bor­row from dif­fer­ent cul­tures. Right now I am eat­ing fried kiel­basa (Polish) and sip­ping good scotch whisky (Scottish). The scotch and kiel­basa com­bi­na­tion isn’t ter­ri­bly mul­ti­cul­tural but it reminds me of my favorite food, kiel­basa fried rice. Kielbasa fried rice is a won­der­ful Polish/Asian fusion food. I was too lazy too make kiel­basa fried rice but that doesn’t change my love of fusion foods.

    Since when is being a crypto-Fascist ide­ally American?

    Crypto-fascist? What the Hell are you talk­ing about? I hardly ever encrypt any­thing unless some­one else makes me.

    Eh, good point.

    You did, how­ever, use the word Anarcho-Fascist to describe your­self at one point. Ignoring the inter­nal con­tra­dic­tions, I still don’t think that counts as American. Also, you never told me what that means.

    It means that I was being angsty and stu­pid about my polit­i­cal out­look. I’m over the angsty bit, now I’m just stu­pid about my polit­i­cal outlook.

    Being a crypto-fascist is fun because no one can tell. Then you run some RSA-crackin’ stuff and all of a sud­den you are salut­ing a bunch and hang­ing Bizarro Mussolini.
