There’s a bit of fetishization of the rural working class

Because urban libs are brain wormed. And I’m not dogwhistling about the downtrodden, I’m talking about the pmc fucks that make up a significant amount of the Republican and Democratic base. These people, usually suburbanites, epitomize the callousness and depravity of the empire. Proles are increasingly priced out of these cities

You bring up a good point about landowning making a difference in their class characteristics, but not all rural folk own land.

I should spend some more time solidifying my thoughts on this but as a brown dude who moved to rural NewEngland, I simply find the people here a lot more amenable to class struggle than a lot of the libs in class B cities like Boston, Dallas, etc. A lot of proles. Maybe my region makes a difference and that I’m in a supposed Blue state
