Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Paul Krugman Has a Message for White Rural Americans

America is just sort of backwards in the way it developed.

Human history is one of villages becoming towns, towns becoming cities, and some cities becoming great urban centers. Political divisions and systems arose organically as these cities grew and interacted. Thus Rome didn’t spring forth fully formed. No, the Republic formed as the city gained wealth and then used that wealth to gain control over the surrounding countryside, then Italy, then Africa, then eventually most of the known world.

In America our political divisions were enacted by a political body recognizing territorial boundaries over largely unpopulated wilderness with few urban centers. Now, these urban centers have grown and like they have done throughout history everywhere, they are exerting their control over the surrounding areas. They are somewhat constrained by the political framework put in place before most of them even existed in anything like their forms now, but for how long?

I agree. This country doesn't belong together any more. Rural northern California right now wants to break away from urban California when what they really need is to break away with the other western states into a separate country. I wish Louisiana and Texas along with several of our contiguous states would seperate. This country, the USA has become an unhappy marriage and divorce seems the only answer. We could still be friends and trade with other sections but being governed by them is unpalatable to say the least.

That's the thing they miss. The RWA culture they decry is in fact decent hardworking family ( and neighbor) loving people. The ones who built a country others want to come to. Add in the ones without pink skin who are the same.

The mother-of-all propagandists is short on brains and long on horse [bleep]. Oh I know he has all the credentials of higher education, but he’s still a dummy just like all the highly educated college professors. It’s a shame that anyone would keep a job let alone be paid handsomely for being wrong about everything. Rural folks are typically much smarter in so many ways than city dwellers. This smug a-hole has a lower standard and quality of life by far in so many ways. No one with half a brain wants to be a part of the jungle this lunatic lives in.

Most are missing the point. Krugman’s predictions are spot on. The thing is, though, he’s happy about it. His people were the ones who arranged for that outcome, and they are proud of the accomplishment.

Which predictions, the one where he stipulated the stock market would immediately crash if DT was elected?

Wait, did jorge just upvote a TRH post on the chosenites?

Do it ALL the time, except when he goes off the rails on the kook-a-monga express...

A lot of people moved to the country...........to get away from pedos and cucks like him.

My first thoughts.
White people, along with Mexicans, produce the food.
Run the distribution of the food.
Mine the coal (gasp),
Drill the oil and gas,
Run the powerplants,
and dristribut the gas and liquid energy.

And all of this starts rural.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you.


This just shows the disconnect theses cosatal/big urbane rich people experience.
I bet he has never produced a cherry tomato, food is just in stores.
Rural people come in two types to them,

Rich people that have a "cabin in the mountains" (10,000sf) or a "ranch".
Or
Knuckle dragging mouthbreathers who wear knee high rubberboots,
and breed their cousins.

The U.S. is a victim of its own success. When you build something great it's human nature for others to want a piece of it and once that happens it's no longer great.

Keep in mind that the history of mankind isn't self rule, it's rule by strongmen (warlords, kings, etc.) over serfs. That's still the way it is in most countries and was even in most of Europe until the industrial revolution. In my opinion that's why Europe slid so easily into socialism, it's normal for them to expect someone to take care of them and direct their lives, that's the way it's always been in one form or another for them.

The U.S. was initially populated by people that wanted rid of that, they were willing to cut a life out of a wilderness as long as it got annoying busybodies out of their schit. Immigrants today don't come here for that, they mostly come here to take advantage of what others have already built and they move to urban areas which truth be told aren't much different than the places they came from. Living in a high rise in New York isn't radically different than living in one in Frankfurt or San Paolo.

As many are saying here the real divide is rural vs. urban, it's not democrat vs. republican. Rural areas are being depopulated and the people that remain aren't the hard working productive types of our forefathers. I came from a rural area and am the descendent of a middle class farm family that had been in central MS since the 1830's. Until the 1960's you could make a decent living on a 130 acre farm as my grandfather did while raising five children. Those days are gone, farming is all giant factory farms now and anyone farming 130 acres is doing it as a hobby, it costs more money to use it as a playground that you'll get in return. Everyone has to have a real job to pay the bills. Most of the kids with any ambition go to college and never return to live, those staying in the area usually end up living in poverty and on drugs. I recently had a high school classmate that never left my area die of liver failure at 51 from too much alcohol and drug abuse. The few farm labor jobs remaining are done by illegals which just feeds the decline even more. I'm fortunate to have a job that pays well and allowed me to live on my place in the country but my job is 250 miles away so I'm gone half the month. I got divorced several years back and while I'm not interested in getting remarried it doesn't escape my notice that there probably isn't a single woman in my county that I'd consider dating, they're just not there. The women to choose from are either unwed mothers, meth heads, or illegals, not exactly my types. I recently took a condo near the beach because I was getting bored at home, there's only so many times you can bush hog the place or go to the local dollar general. I still have my place and will split time between the condo and there.

Long winded I know but basically I'm saying I agree with those that say demographics is destiny and we're on the losing end.

Exactly. There have been reasons the Jews have been persecuted, and this is a prime example. They can't control rural White Americans, so they'll figure out a way to get rid of us.

We had a discussion at church not long ago about God's "chosen people" and I made a few people angry when I said that the world would be a better place if those "chosen people" would quit trying to change it to suit themselves.

I have a message for Paul Krugman also...

But I can't deliver it over social media....nor even hint about it over social Media..

But then I have the same message for all the other folks like him in our nation...

Probably the nearest tall tree and some rope.

All you need to know about who is a “fascist” and who isn’t, can be answered by folks’ answer to that question. The right would be perfectly happy to split amicably with the left. The left, OTOH, would rather “impose their will” on half the people of this country. Only selfish people would want to stay in a marriage like this...
