People who proudly boast about how they never spend a dime on Epic Games, in their store, but has hundreds of free games to play with no intent to play them. Like, I don’t know who is supposed to be impressed by that. Not to mention, that’s not really a good method of protesting if you’re someone who hates Epic Games.

You’re still spending the time and effort, not to mention even bothering to have an account with them to begin with, to redeem free games that they give away. Who are you seriously trying to impress or what message are you trying to convey? Because all I see are contradictions and ironies.

    I think you might have a bias in there as well then, because I got out of my small town, and I agree that very few make it out physically or culturally, and they are like black holes.

    However I was never punished, or harassed. I had people make fun of me, question me, give me weird faces as to why I would want to leave, but never anything extreme like you’re saying. I think you may represent the other extreme side.

      Yeah, I do. I went to Harvard. There is a intense hatred of working-class small town people in places like that and the social class that dominates it.

      The ‘liberal/worldly’ perspective is it’s own intensely insular and smug/superior bias that sees anyone who can’t afford to go on international vacations as inherently inferior and stupid to those who do.

        My beef with rural people has nothing to do with them being poor, and everything to do with their ongoing fascist temper tantrum.

        I think rural culture should be generally marginalized and mocked until it stops doing fascism. Pretty simple tbh.

        I think the problem is that you went to Harvard. I get what you’re saying, but the non-elite don’t really care. We can’t afford international vacations and yacht clubs either. Don’t get me wrong, liberalism is its own disease, but you met it on a whole other level.

          that’s the level that dominates our government, our corporations, our media.

          they are telling everyone else what to think, and to think like they do.
