i am btw not sharing this piece cause i TOTALLY AGREEE!!!!!....i just thought it would be a lovely, controversial-as-fick, part of the debate.

besides the stupid frank rich rhetoric and the even sillier lead and headline, i think the notion that also rural white people are often playing the victim card, which is usually shoven to "urban areas", isn't the worst kind of relevation.

It is pretty funny how the various narratives being spun about the mysterious Midwest whites is very similar to competing colonial depictions of natives. Are they a vast tribe of aggressive unreasonable non-woke types who should be feared and despised? Are they a dying, noble breed more in touch than the effete observer? Do they merely need to be tamed and introduced to microbreweries and coding lessons so they can be brought into the brave world if the future?

Again and again i wonder, why this board is not .....endowed....with a "like"-Button which would make it possible for me to praise such postings without spam-posts like that.
