Übermensch Stäten Amerika (Ü.S.A.)

the Übermensch anomaly was short-lived

in Europe, it was never going to be an

idea with a survival instinct for longevity

in Europe, just like Copernicus became

defamed by Galileo...

the Übermensch idea was prescribed to America,

what with their Superman and Batman,

and Spiderman... Nietzsche didn't

include America for a reason, you could

speak of Emerson as the zenith of American

intellectual output as the reason,

but that's hardly a reason...

tourists to the Caribbean will know,

Americans think they're super-human...

i hate the American accent, it's like a mosquito

buzzing in my ear, i just call them

the spaghetti swindlers of tongue, gluttonous

harp players... and because Nietzsche didn't

mention America, America is his most fertile

and therefore most arable landmass...

i mean... Nietzsche reached pop culture status,

just because he didn't mention American culture

in his writing... and that's how the Americans

see themselves, the righteous inheritors of

the post-Nazi mindset... Übermensch Staaten Amerika...

hence the reason they're on the gold medal leader boards

at the Olympics... i.e. if those ******* aren't doped

then i'm doped...

not doping athletes makes chemists redundant,

dope the whole lot of them, let's make it fair.

yes, i know it should have been written as staaten,

but i like my diacritical arithmetic, and given the

umlaut, i count that as a hidden extra a... so from

staaten into stäten;

oh yeah... and **** your "perfect" teeth;

or the Penguin cover for Philip K. Dick's

man in the high castle, the red & white stripes

with 50 swastikas.
