A place we do not want to be

“In extreme form, urban people live like colonists running a profitable trading post by way of royal charter. While their trade is attractive, they themselves are not. They assume their standards to be universal by celestial warrant, much as did the arrogant collectivists from DC that infested Appalachia in the 1930s. Although it was they who were intruders, it was we who were outside the consensus.

“It's far worse now. Urban America feels duty bound to misunderstand and misrepresent the rest of the country in support of their cultural template. Where the sidewalks end the ‘other’ begins, so no insult is too outrageous, no lie too preposterous. It's almost understandable, moderation may signal weakness to the circling cullers of the herd.”

Our rulers build walls to keep out the peasantry. Most of us do not want in, anyway.

FDR's best and brightest intended to save the poor through government jobs and forced relocation, leading to collective farming. An almost unfathomable idea today, the farming part. But the rest still remains. Urbanists want to end the Electoral College, taking all political power from non-city folk. Listen to the new Democrats in Congress, but only long enough to hear their words, not take in their beliefs.
