and that it makes no sense that you would elect someone called that, even if they weren't stupid, senile, shit their pants in public and batshit crazy.

It only makes no sense if you've never left the coasts.

Compared to a lot of "Real Americans" (as they like to be called), he's an Astronaut, rock-star.

Uttar Pradesh: Because the American South doesn't have a monopoly on worthless filth.

There used to be conservatives who weren't nazis.

They were taken over by southern dixiecrats who are far worse.

But Trump is from that wing.

And don't you ever, ever associate me with Confederate scum.

The whole southern filth needed to be rounded up and put down after the war ended, letting them continue is what destroyed this country, you idiot.

You clearly didnt read the thread, I said both should wipe each other out and leave us in peace, which is the opposite of zionism.

I actually said both should wipe each other out and leave us in peace, read that thread closer.

This is completely untrue.

The GOP was taken over by racist southern dixiecrats.

Dixiecrats inspired Hitler and the nazis, he wrote about them as the model Germany must follow in mein kampf, and the Nuremberg Laws are just Jim crow without the one drop rule.

The south are worse than nazis, they literally inspired them, without southern racists we wouldn't have had nazis.

So, you have excellent points.

Here si where so much of that falls down:

This is worse in the south, but Appalachia had it too: any federal or external program is seen by the ruling elite as a cash cow that they rightfully deserve, and often they genuinely believe that by taking the money they are protecting their community from being bribed into dependence on outsiders.

That's an odd rationalization, but it's what I've seen in many rural areas.

What you need is a true grassroots movement, and that article suggested as much, I'm just skeptical because you're asking them to go against a decent chunk of what they consider heritage, as the Virginia lowlands were the rich tobacco farmers that originally mistreated the Appalachians and lead to their oppositional identity.

True, but it isn't cheap, the effort costs more than you'd save in labor.

Couple that with the nightmarish logistics (lived there, it takes 4-6 hours to get in and out of the mountains over tiny roads not meant for trucks, that's a lot of refrigeration), and the region just isn't good for much economically.

No I'm a me.

Fuck all your labels and causes.

Rightists won't be happy till we're all slaves.

Leftists will never, ever be happy and the more they win the more chaotic things will get as the internal politics of leftism is broken as well.

I ally with leftists to destroy the right when they are clearly out of control.

We are not the same.

No.

I advocate for removing the southern racist conservatives (aka the christofascist dixiecrats) by any and all means necessary.

Once they are neutralized I advocate for a more balanced status quo, closer to northern European social democracy.

But mostly, the south has to burn. They are the cancer destroying this country.

I advocate for a reasonable debate, a fair fight, not corporatism.

I know that makes me literally worse than zionist super-Hitler to the tankies.

Firstly: the soil is poor. Lots of issue with soil runoff, and it's not viable to irrigate basically at all.

Secondly: they don't want to.

I think people forget how much mining paid for a while, even if the cost was the miner's lives. It's like the oil workers in the Dakotas, they like that work for the pay.

The only way you could agriculturalize that region would be having a mid to large agribusiness come in and industrialize it, which makes no sense because it's cheaper and easier everywhere else.

They're orphaned by geography. The tunnels helped but nowhere near enough.
