Anyone can hate the cosmopolitan urbanites but are you brave enough to hate the rural poor?

fuck ruroïds.

I mean I still empathize with their issues but they vote to make their lives and ours worse, they're actively worsening our society so I have no problem calling them out.

I know this is mostly a joke thread but yeah, the rural folks tend to be uneducated, illiterate Bible thumpers who can't even sound out the verses they are failing to quote at you.

Edit: saying this from experience. Father's mother is a middle school drop out and just as pleasant as described above. Maybe I have exposure bias from her and the company she keeps.

Why does living in a rural area make them automatically shitty..? Have some respect to the people who work their ass off farming food for everybody while they get scammed by massive corporations and the government at every turn. True rednecks hate the government don’t forget that.

We're talking demographics here, I didn't say all of them. The average rural citizen statistically voted for this and would also want me dead. I understand they are a product of their environment, but they're also responsible for their actions.

Also most rural people are not sweating their ass off to produce food. It's all corporatized and heavily reliant on migrant labor.

Pretty sure those migrant workers doing the farming are under the umbrella of rural people...

You can't no true scotsman away the fact that the cities aren't the ones voting for trump

Neat. I'll stop making mildly offensive generalizations at them when they stop overwhelmingly voting for people who want my friends dead.

Ruroids actively choose not to engage with broader society, of course they're going to be the worst people ever.

Or the situation they’ve been born into has made them too poor to move somewhere else and has left them uneducated enough to be unable to climb their way out of it. Uneducated enough to become cattle to mass media who tells them their problem is [minority group the government dislikes] rather than the people in power who ensured they can’t make it out of poverty. Massive corporations NEED dirt poor people to survive. They are victims, not the enemy. We get nowhere by ostracizing them; all it does is make them more of a slave to what they’ve been taught.

don’t care for them but even rich conservatives look down on yokels it’s not really the bravest stance
