Keeping it Surreal

You can hear that Ode to Joy in every blow. It comes right after you get the lecture about the tolerant, equitable, and humanistic path European culture is blazing in the world.

Being a typical American racist/sexist/agist/etc. and anything else so many Europeans naturally assume all Americans to be, even if I could tell an English person from a Scot, I could care less.

I hope tyhey don't think that a cohabitant melange of English and Scots is somehow any more or less "diversity" as any other vague notion people have of it. People that look different just are. How could you hate or "celebrate" that? The fact that none of the objectives of people who demand that we "celebrate diversity" is the big fat flaw in the secular institutional narrative of Euroepan public culture: not only are the "virtues" not even real.
