It's like pacifists protesting against War Studies: kcl.ac.uk/warstudies

White people were racist in the past (still are) and certain types of white people don't like when we teach about how they were racist in the past (still are)

Sometimes a little violence is the best option to humble someone

These people are just LARPers. Ask them to define what "woke" means, they just repeat the same 5 talking points that FOX news or Tucker Carlson tells them.

the angry petty-bourgeoise that seek to dominate everyone else they don’t like for some dumb idyllic suburb life where everyone lives in the same-looking houses and hates each other

any politically active person is larping to some degree tbh

i just wish they'd choose to larp as something more wholesome and less hateful

Ah yes, also the attempt at Christofascism as well. Can't forget that.

Wouldn't necessarily say that everyone who is active in politics is LARPing but within the realm of modern political discourse and who's active in the government: most of them are either grifting (Marjorie Taylor Greene, for example) or being paid off by lobbyists while not principled at all. Whole system is just corrupted at this point with dirty money.

God damn cousin f***ers

I’m from West Virginia and I promise you the people ‘in the mountains’ are just as extremely racist if not worse

Depends on the state, WV is known as the most deprived place of any sort of progressive ideas and it's also the poorest state. There's other areas in the Appalachian mountains that are filled with transplants or highly educated people that aren't backwards or messed up in the head.

Yes and for every couple of those highly educated Appalachian residents there’s another 10 ‘actual country’ residents that still throw up the southern flag despite the fact their state was on the north’s side during the civil war lol

I and my family have experienced a LOT of Appalachian culture and those ‘transplants’ are not the majority nor are they even welcomed by their neighbors.

And that’s not even mentioning the endless racist ass honkeys I met when I moved to southwest Oregon in the mountains for half a year

This is surely selective perception, again, not doubting that you've had different experiences in WV (especially because that state falls short of quite literally every 'pro' that even other places do). There are other areas that are nowhere near the stereotype, especially after COVID since people continue to gentrify and remote workers are now pretty common.

That's bizarre but not surprising, Oregon has a lot of bleed over from Idaho (which is literally a haven for backwards thinking and hate groups).

I get that I said I’m from WV but that does not mean my experiences and reasoning are exclusively based on that lol but if you’re unwilling to have an honest discussion and would rather pigeonhole me that’s fine too

This is a neutral discussion, not doubting what you're saying but it really depends on the state and area you're in.

you should be banned for this reddit tier post

Yeah it must have been that every racist I talked to from there was influenced by Idaho or directly came from there.

I’d usually lean it more towards that the conditions that deem an area ‘country’ also help breed isolated white people who live in a bubble almost entirely separate from the outside world which allows them to sit comfortably in their mentalities from the 50s for however long they want.

But Idaho feels right.

Found the dumb hick from the video

Also depends on what you’re defining as actual country. I know a lot of KTT grew up in high populated areas so idk if you’re coming with a completely different definition of that than I am.

Like I promise you ‘actual country folk’ by my definition aren’t doing remote work in their homes lmao them boys don’t even have stable internet in the first place
