I think you might have a bias in there as well then, because I got out of my small town, and I agree that very few make it out physically or culturally, and they are like black holes.

However I was never punished, or harassed. I had people make fun of me, question me, give me weird faces as to why I would want to leave, but never anything extreme like you're saying. I think you may represent the other extreme side.

    Yeah, I do. I went to Harvard. There is a intense hatred of working-class small town people in places like that and the social class that dominates it.

    The 'liberal/worldly' perspective is it's own intensely insular and smug/superior bias that sees anyone who can't afford to go on international vacations as inherently inferior and stupid to those who do.

    My beef with rural people has nothing to do with them being poor, and everything to do with their ongoing fascist temper tantrum.

    I think rural culture should be generally marginalized and mocked until it stops doing fascism. Pretty simple tbh.

    right, so fuck them you know better than them.

    yeah, and you wonder why they voted for Trump as an F you to people like you... lol

    I wonder how you would feel if someone told you they know better to than you, and you should fuck yourself and vote how they think... i bet you'd tell them to f off.

    I think the problem is that you went to Harvard. I get what you’re saying, but the non-elite don’t really care. We can’t afford international vacations and yacht clubs either. Don’t get me wrong, liberalism is its own disease, but you met it on a whole other level.
