  • Spam musubi is identical to your pumpkin pie example, main ingredient changed and often with different sauces/sides/etc like spicy mayo, teriyaki or gravy. Either they're both unique or neither one is and, based on how you categorized everything else, nothing is unique.

    Loco Moco is just egg curry with hamburger.

    Gumbo is just bouillabaisse over rice.

    Bolognese sauce on the other hand is, as I can't find any other similar dish that was invented independently

    Tomato based meat sauce? That's just curry with some of the complexity removed.

    Poutine nachos? Authentic Mexican food!

    Also, think about what it means when you dismiss a food as "uniquely American" because it's "Native American" cuisine.

    Midwest and Alaskan, as well as east-coast, those three sound most promising. Can you maybe tell a bit more about them?

    I'm sorry to say, but there's nothing unique in any of those places either. Ambrosia is a standard fruit salad, Cincinnati chili is just spaghetti and hot dish is just shepherds pie. Sloppy Joes are just a ragú curry sandwich and corn dogs are tamales on a stick. Akutaq is just ice cream with an extra ingredient or two and birch syrup is "an ingredient, not a dish".

  • This comment is an example of how that process continues. The original colonizers did their damnedest to try and erase those cultural lines and draw over them with their own.

    Those cultural lines are faint, and per capita extremely weak, but that's why it's important to amplify them and highlight them when and where they exist instead of disregarding, ignoring and blurring them further.

  • It depends on how you define "uniquely created in the USA".

    Frybread has a rich and complex history within the USA, and I would argue it's very much "uniquely created in the USA" but most variations have a pretty much identical recipe to hungarian lángos.

    Also a lot of USA food is very regional. Hawaii has a lot of unique foods, such as loco moco, spam musubi, etc. but would be unrecognizable to most USAians.

    Teriyaki dishes are technically Japanese, but the Pacific northwest has taken the concept and run with it to the point where it's now it's own unique creation. It also has cheese zombies, jojos, Seattle dog, huckleberry everything, etc.

    Southwest USA and Mexican have a lot of overlap but are also just as distinct with "Tex-mex" being it's own culinary thing. Puffy tacos, chili con queso, cornbread, cowboy caviar, nachos, etc.

    Midwest, Alaskan, southern, east-coast, Puerto Rican, etc. all also have their own unique culinary traditions at this point with lots of micro-regional distinctions within them.

    However, they aren't marketed, advertised or popularized in the same way that things like "Chinese food" is. Despite "American-Chinese food", like general Tsao, or orange chicken, being very much it's own genre that is unrecognizable as either traditional/old recipe USA or Chinese foods.

    To discover many of these things you can't just "tourism" through but have to actually try to know and understand the people and places.

    Conversely, it's not like Italian food stops being Italian due to its use of "new world" food stuffs like tomatoes, or pasta is any less "Italian" despite it just being Chinese noodles with a few changed ingredients.

    If you insist on playing that game you'll find nothing is unique.

  • Turns out if you're careful about the specific kids and you have enough money then yes it is de facto legal.

    Take some time and seriously reflect on the difference between how you think legality works and what you're witnessing.

  • You can't envision it because you live in a country that is currently incapable of maintaining basic infrastructure and providing the most bare minimum housing for its populace, much less expanding it.

    That's not true for elsewhere in the world, nor is it true historically.

  • If that was the goal it would've been false flagged already. The goal really is just a simple as they don't think their actions will have consequences, and so far they've been largely correct.

    No you're not you just haven't been prosecuted for any of them.

    You, and everyone else, are just as much inherently criminals as those behind bars. You've just gotten lucky so far with your life trajectory to have different experiences.

  • That's the logic behind prison, but not the reality.

    Locking a person in a cage does not solve whatever underlying issue led to the crime in the first place. The resulting trauma and stigma almost certainly makes it worse once they get out of prison causing crimes.

    Or they are locked in a cage forever for the most menial of crimes, at which point they themselves are the victims of a greater crime.

  • Its not a lie, there's a formal point system to determine whether someone is associated with Tren de Aragua. 8 points means they're definitely a part of the gang.

    It's 3 points for being in the US without documentation, 6 points for associating with any known members and 2 points for any social media posts containing "associated references".

    Practically every Venezuelan is part of the gang according to the DoJ. So it's not a lie, just guilt by association.

  • Dependence and addiction are different things. I find the story of mathematician Paul Erdős's bet on stopping amphetamines illustrates it best where he had no problem stopping but said of the experience:

    "You've showed me I'm not an addict. But I didn't get any work done. I'd get up in the morning and stare at a blank piece of paper. I'd have no ideas, just like an ordinary person. You've set mathematics back a month."

    If you're addicted to stimulants, that's a health problem and has both poor sensitivity and selectivity for ADHD. If someone is taking stimulants and forms dependence but not addiction that is somewhat sensitive for ADHD but has terrible selectivity.

  • Takeaway option one: Society does a terrible job accommodating those individuals who are any sort of neurodivergant and many laws, especially those around drug use and possession, don't actually improve society and instead primarily harm those who are most vulnerable. The takeaway here being that the laws/society are a problem that needs to be revised.

    Takeaway option two: Neruodivergance = criminal and anyone with a diagnosis of ADHD/Autism/etc. should be placed under enhanced supervision as they are likely to do crime in the future. Those people are the problem and preemptive detention is the only possible solution to prevent them crime-ing all over the place.

  • when its values were literally opposed to all of these.

    That's only true if you are viewing US history from the perspective of the white colonizers.

    Ultranationalist isn't always about race. 1930s US was waaaayyy more into using race as a signifier for nationalism than modern US, albeit I would argue that modern US is more nationalistic though the 1930s is when those seeds were being planted.

    Also you want to talk about repressive and totalitarian?1850-1950 was the century of Jim Crow, company towns, robber barons, indigenous genocide, concentration camps, red scare, yellow journalism, etc.

    Nazi Germany was just as "opposed" to all of your points so long as you were Von Germanic Protestant.

    You are intentionally misrepresenting history and whitewashing the US and engaging in the exact ultranationalism you claim to be speaking against. Shut your keyboard.
