There’s lots of those in my part of the world, maybe not yours.
But just because the cities around you suck, it doesn’t mean the idea of cities suck. That all cities suck. That we’d all be better off living in semi-rural suburbs or some other American hellscape.
It seems your perspective on this is 100% based on your individual experience and it includes 0 big-picture thought.
I never said that all cities suck. I was talking about the ‘anyone who doesn’t live in a city has to live like it’s the 19th century’ thing. I’ve told you that multiple times. I’m not sure how to be more clear about it.
But how can REALITY get more clear? We’re going through the very early stages of global cataclysm. We will only survive as a social and technologically advanced species if we concentrate in a few small spots, and basically abandon and work to rehabilitate the other 99% of the Earth. For a long long time probably.
I don’t understand how living like you guys even slightly looks like a good idea unless you’re extremely self-centred and don’t give a fuck about the world. Which I guess makes sense, we’re in this shit situation because most people are like that I guess.

Yes, I’m so self-centered to not want to vomit every day. How dare I.
Again, the dichotomy is not “polluted shitty city” and “nice free countryside”. And it’s NOT ABOUT YOU. This is the definition self-centeredness…
Again, my problem is with the “you have to live like it’s the 19th century” part. Again, how many more times must I say it?
