I fucking hate living here. The culture is poison. The economy is a fucking disaster. The education is designed to leave a huge portion of the country illiterate. Every single atom of it is white supremacist. The land is all stolen. The capitalists are completely above the law. Fuck cars. Fuck America,
And it’s literally impossible to undo the way we’ve built it, too. Yeah we can densify downtown neighborhoods and maybe if we’re lucky we can get a few intercity rail lines going in 20 years, but 99% of suburban strip mall single family shit hole america is stuck that way. We literally sunk all of our cheap fossil fuel energy into building the whole country like that and now we don’t have enough cheap energy to change it. Kunstler calls it the greatest misallocation of resources in human history. It’s a fucking bummer.
