Enough bullshit that we ignore rural areas and small towns

30. So "we" are "punishing" and persecuting you, though most of what you describe is, again,

in no way unique to rural areas.

We are "shunning you," "letting you starve" and "excluding you from the benefits of democratic society," though the OP shows rural areas get a disproportionately large share of the common wealth.

"We" are "rampaging" through YOUR forests and parks - though as many rural people use national parks as urban people, so it is not your monolithic urban "you" that is guilty.

"We" are "extracting your minerals and trees" though I am sure you understand that has nothing to do with urban vs. rural, that has to do with corporations.

And are you really growing my food? You farm? Because if not, you and I are in exactly the same boat with respect to our dependence on corporate farming. You don't grow my food. Corporations do. That's a problem we have in common.

And it is a personal insult to you that people litter? Newsflash: people litter. It sucks. But it happens everywhere.

And were you under the impression that what you think of urban people is NOT coloring the tone with which you are addressing people in this thread?

Sadly, my original point has been proved.
