    Almost like people who don’t want the government breathing down their necks don’t live in places that are government controlled. As someone who’s lived in NJ all my life, it’s the cities that are the disease. The economy and society in cities isn’t anything we should be proud of.

      Ahh yes, as soon as you leave the cities, the government can’t touch you. That’s why farmers are subsidized by the government, rural healthcare is propped up by Medicare, and rural voters have been gerrymandered into a position where their (republican) votes are worth more than voters in the city. Jfc, how deluded can you be?

      This is like a fractal of stupid. Any portion of it is just as stupid as any other portion. I suspect it’s a joke.

      I’m guessing you enjoy drinking clean water and breathing non-toxic air on a daily basis, no? How do you think that happened?

      In cities, economies actually exist. In cities, society is just a reflection of human nature and has fuck-all to do with government.

      Almost like the people who don’t want government breathing down their necks are wholly incapable of actually supporting themselves without leeching off better, more functional economies. Almost like parasites.

        Actually i’m in favor of the rural communities breaking away from big government. They don’t want the government, why should the government keep them? They can take care of themselves …
