Wut?

“I unironically embrace the bashing of rural Americans. They, as a group, are bad people who have made bad life decisions. Some, I assume are good people. But this nostalgia for some imagined pastoral way of life is stupid and we should shame people who aren’t pro-city,”

I unironically want people like him to

This guy is too stupid to realize how much rural America makes his life possible, from food to oil.

It should be uncomfortable to live as a self-righteous a-hole.

I wonder if this douche eats food?

He doesn't look like I expected.

Still looking like a complete beta fig... but he's absent the beard and thick framed glasses. He definitely gets extra soy in his venti mocha latte from Starcucks.

That said, and FYI, I am a libertarian, it might cost more to deliver services to the rural areas. Still, I do think we, the US, as a policy, should continue to lower the cost of doing business in rural America, which has taken it on the chin.

Btw, the guy is a douche.

I tend to agree that city folk subsidize the rural folk.

To some degree, but it sure as hell is not being done by college professors. It's the industries in the cities.

These people have lives that are fueled by entrepreneurs that (rightfully so) invest in building businesses where there are people.

It's like when some sociologist cum barista rails about how the uneducated "out there" really don't matter and their votes are disproportionate to their population. Yeah, honey, we need more of your votes deciding the hard questions.

Hard Core urbanites are the neediest of all. I have nothing in common with urban leftists.

They would shite bricks if rural Americans moved to the city and retained their values

Swear to God in heaven I'd have no problem ...... And people laugh at a civil war! It's sheet like this that's gonna be the spark.
