      To be fair, you dont get land and houses this cheap anywhere else. Rural living is great unless you’re a city weenie. And I’m hardly even rural tbh.

      My 3000 sq ft house (and 1000 sq ft garage) on an acre was 250k with 3% interest 5 years ago. hardly any neighbors, 5 minutes from grocery store, nice town nearby.

      Try doing that ANYWHERE else. I think people are mostly jealous of all that we can have for such little money. I have everythibg I could want, space to garden and rude dirt bikes etc. Lemmings have no idea how good it is.

      The city I’m near ia actually the least maga place in the whole state. Its still annoying tho.

      I get that people want their clubs and what not but thats not for me. I go to a bar once a month maybe. They bore me. I can do WAY more fun shit at my place. Weld, woodwork, play drums as loud as I want etc. People who lived in a new york closet their whole lives would lose their minds.

        You only get to live that way because your imperialist genocide state shares the spoils of empire with you but it is temporary and you’re going to find yourself fucked god willing. I hate you and I hope to be part of the solution to the worlds problems.

          Wow much anger. I’m on the same side as you man, no need for hostility. I never voted for this government and I give as little as possible to billionaire corporations when ever possible.

          I was merely comparing city folk with those of us who prefer rural there’s nothing wrong with either.

          And I’ll tell you something, I don’t get fuck shit from my “imperialist empire”. If I get cancer I’m fucked. I don’t have rich parents that gave me everything. Sure, I’m very very lucky, but ive been working harder and longer than you since i was old enough to hold a shovel, doing real work building the shit you use on a daily basis.

          Also, you may want to go touch grass. Lot of anger you have there about things you can’t change. You are exactly as bad as the bigots saying “all people of this race evil no exceptions”. Its never an absolute. I despise maga. Does that make every single american evil? No more than it makes all dark skinned people bad because someone did a crime that was the same color.

        rural living is a hell hole if you don’t look and act like the people who live there.

        it took me tens of thousands of dollars and decades of study and practice to realize that there’s nothing wrong with my queer autistic brown ass and that the only reason i thought that there was solely came from being born and raised in BFE in the american south west.

          That is the shitty part. People are not very accepting. We do have a little of a diverse neighborhood here which is good at least. No one here cares if someone’s gay.

          Now if your walking around at night trying peoples car doors, you’re gonna get in trouble. We dont tolerate that garbage.

            people use words like this to describe austin, but i had to spend 5 years there before i realized that they’re qualified statements.

            and it’s not just small places, california used to insist that they didn’t have a problem with gay people either, but they still prevented us from getting married and it literally forced families, like mine, to break apart.

            it all goes to prove that op was right.

              Yeah I hate how brainwashed people are. Completely religions fault. It preys on the idiots and then they are groomed for authoritarianism.

              I never understood it even when little. WHY hate people? Sure, you may hate a criminal or a rapist. But 98% of those are white cis men, not trans folk or drag queens.

              We have good little pockets of community lgbtq businesses and such that are growing more all the time, so its good to see somethibg positive is happening if even a small scale.

              Edit: woof, tankie spotted. No more communications from me, good luck with your sad life.

                  When did I imply hate? Its people like you that are why we will never defeat billionaires. You’re all in your own little war either with each other or other countries you hate. This is exactly what billionaires want so we will keep warring with each other instead of agreeing on the real issue.

        Getting the orange clown elected, twice, shows how awful the entire country is. It’s not a few nut bars it’s endemic.

          Brainwashing can make you do a lot of awful things.

          In my own country, I’ve seen really nice people support a bad regime.

          It’s bad people taking advantage of the ignorance of good people

            Americans have some of the best access to information on the planet. Americans aren’t stupid or ignorant, we’re performers. That’s why you give those friendly sounding Americans the benefit of the doubt. All those conservatives playing innocent like they don’t know exactly what they did are definitely enthralled, but a big part of it is manipulating others’ perception of them so they’re treated like innocent children who can’t be held responsible for their decisions. A lot of them even believe their own performance and free themselves from all accountability even from themselves. I’ve lived around conservatives for a long time. The only way to be an American conservative is to live exclusively in bad faith.

        I don’t love an abstract legal identity. I’m capable of being happy with institutions, the culture composed if the people living there, and adoring the natural splendor.
        Right now I’m actively angry at the institutions, a huge number of people have taken a sharp turn towards fascism, and I’ve got no problems with the forest still.
        Me and the forest are cool, and that’s part of why I’m mad at the institutions.

        I have no desire to live in the forest because, if nothing else, that’s not good for the forest. Then the people who opted to live there became insane, and decided to largely gut all of the institutions, and make it easier to destroy the forest.

        “I live in a state of natural splendor, and I’m willing to fight to let you cut it down, splash me with mercury , and blot out the sun with smoke because I don’t have healthcare and fuck you for asking. It’s the refugees who are the problem”.
