As much as I dislike the Chinese Autocratig Regime, if they’re right, then they’re right.

    Quit trying to blame this shit on one part of the country. First of all, that’s exactly the kind of division the fascists want.

    Second and more importantly, it isn’t even true. The rural parts of the rest of the country are just as racist as the rural parts of the south, and the urban parts of the south are just as cosmopolitan as the urban parts of the rest of the country. The only real difference between the south and everywhere else is that a slightly lower percentage of the population is rural.

    I also live in the south, but I don’t have other straight white guys saying bigoted shit to me as if I’m on their side. Why? Because I live in an urban enough area that I don’t have to associate with fuckwads like that.

      Lot of bullshit here to refute.

      1. No, fascists want their opposition paralyzed by indecision, so they can act with impunity and protect their evil base. Literally how Hitler took power, re-read your Shirer.

      2. How dare you insult the decent rural folk of the Midwest! I grew up there I could not imagine better neighbors.

      The Midwest has something the south doesn’t : an underlying sense of decency, of shame.

      The south has 0 concept of that. All that matters is winning, at any cost.

      I suspect your mistake is that you live among rich southerners, not just urban ones. Oh, they would never dirty their hands with bigotry, that’s beneath them, that’s for the poors to keep themselves busy and out from underfoot.

      Read about the landed Gentry.

      The rural Midwest has issues, but the people have decent hearts, which is why I love them, and found a place that’s similar.

      The south are just evil incarnate, because they were spawned from evil, sustained by corruption, and blaming ‘the rural folk’ is wrong, I knew more bigotry from the suburban monsters than anywhere, because they had the entitlement.

      The civil war wasn’t started by rural folk, and mlk wasn’t shot in a tobacco farm, the hatred is just purely southern, because they never ever paid for their evil.
