I have to imagine urban areas have much higher crime rates. Are those not bad people as well? Dumb. Rural Americans may be “ignorant” in the sense that they aren’t necessarily exposed to many things different from their way of life (but in 2019 this wanes and wanes every year since the advent of the internet) but these are the heartland of America. They’re the ones pumping resources out to the urban areas so they can continue to live in urban areas and not harvesting their own resources.

A.B., cum laude, Philosophy, Harvard, 2012) Jackson is primarily interested in philosophy of mind, epistemology, and philosophy of science. He’s currently writing a dissertation on the concept of conscious experience, arguing for a certain kind of a priori functional constraint on experience. When not philosophizing, he likes to go hiking and keep up a coding hobby.



Not a chance in hell this guy can afford much more than a broom closet to rent living in Berkeley. But by all means bash the flyover states.

Unfortunately I firmly believe I will live to see one of these idiots in the White House and probably sooner rather than later. This train wreck is exactly where we are heading and it probably can’t be stopped.

He is calling out a lot of poor blacks in the Mississippi Delta, who were the recipients of the plantation policies of the Democratic Party for the last 60 years.

I completely agree with him that rural healthcare shouldn’t be subsidized. Move it you can’t afford it.

I sent him an email which said...

I'm sorry you're poor.

The best sniper that ever lived could not hit my nearest neighbor's house or even yard with a rifle. I would not have it any other way.

pretty sure he’s not hating on people who could never afford to move away. He probably feels sorry for them

I'm a bad person now. I've made bad life decisions because I sure as hell ain't pro-city.

I'll add this to my resume.

Unredeemable deplorable bible and gun clinging dirty Walmart person. I have a bunch of phobias in there too + some other shite.

What I'm not is an ignorant arse graduate student that is educated but not very smart.
