Urban vs. Rural; What's to be done?

[Smitty-48]

I know conservatives down in Toronto

they pretty much see eye to eye with me

it's not a small cohort

none the less, they are still outvoted by about two to one by the Progressives

what happened was that the middle classes have gotten priced out of Toronto

so the wealthy Progressive elites simply outnumber them decisively by now

If it's anything like Seattle - the wealthy elites and college kids will outnumber regular folk. They'll pass a bunch of progressive policies punishing businesses, crippling law enforcement, and creating countless expensive "programs". The programs will mostly fill the pockets of government employees, which will continually grow as everyone gets their cousin, brother, and aunt a government job. Some of the program money will filter down to the intended recipients, which will create a permanent welfare class that has to vote Democrat to continue their free-rider lifestyle. Oh ... and homelessness will explode - because the city will be one place where they too can thrive, using the programs, and laws aren't being enforced against them.

As everything goes to shit under a 100% Democrat rule, they'll flail about, blame the nearest rich people they can find, blame white people, blame racism, and blame everything else they can - while ignoring that they themselves have had consolidated control of everything for decades.

all the productive businesses left Toronto for the suburbs long time ago

all there is in Toronto now is a real estate market, that's what's propping it up

Sometimes I feel like that's all of North America.
All we got is real estate, and a money printer that churns out dollars, so people can pay more for houses and stocks.

COVID has proved that Urban people are stupid, lazy and selfish.

The Urban centers are ran by tyrants. People in cities sit there and take it. They will not fight for themselves. They only care what they have. If they can retreat into food, drugs, sex, good enough. They might bitch about it, but they will do nothing. Because they care more about being comfortable than sacrificing.

Rural people on the other hand fight for their land, families and faith constantly. It's the only way they have maintained traditional norms. They have taken all the attacks for decades, but have been stronger than urbanites and maintained their family and traditions.

Stop following urbanites, they are stupid, they fall to Marxists, Feminists, and Experts all too easily.

This is a common theme throughout history. The rich become urban and soft, while the "barbarians" are tough and more able to fight.

Its bigger than that today.

Rural people are now smarter, wiser and have better critical thinking skills.

They have demonstrated they can use technology without being corrupted by it.

well I can't complain too much

buying & selling real estate in the free money party made me wealthy

saves me from having to work at the coalface

it's becoming like East Germany here, you can't even keep a job unless you're willing to uphold Communism

most people are faking it of course, but I wouldn't be able to

my idyllic rural existence is funded by urban real estate, take the money & run

case in point

Trudeau has appointed a pro-China Woke commie as a federal judge

https://thepostmillennial.com/legal-act ... eral-judge

so I am basically being driven out of society here

it's really just about coming up with money making schemes, that's the only way to retain any freedom

whether it's private or public sector, everything in Canada is going down the commie rabbit hole

the Chinese Social Credit system is already here, I am already internally exiled for all intents & purposes

15 years ago I got a lot of pushback when I was stating how shitty urban life is, and urban inhabitants were too dumb to see it.

I dont get many arguments today.
