Thanks for your long replies, I read each twice. I am still unconvinced that communism could be everyone's goal even when it's obviously in everyone's best interest, due to psychology.

I live in a state that voted for Trump by a 30% margin. I know how to code switch and talk to the rednecks on their issues, trying to turn them away from the cult. I talk about taking things back with unions like our grandfathers did. I remind them that we were bombed by the Army for striking for fair wage. Literally bombed from the air on American soil.

West Virginia is a strange place. A black guy can be best friends with a white guy and they'll both deny white privilege exists. Of course all our black population is in the cities such as they are. Black folk don't do well up a holler IYKYK.

But fuck that, I want to switch places with you for a week. You could live in my neighborhood, it's walkable if you don't mind a half mile up or down wild ass sidewalks. You could go to all kinds of bars, restaurants, barbers, tattoo places, and it's all extremely local. You could get to know all kind folk. I fucking dare you. My house is pretty small but nice and you could drive my sweet Challenger. I do have four cats and a wife but I could convince her. I swear I'll do it if I can.

Edit: in the interest of being real I tried to read the introduction of your link and I feel so much. I hated college classes. I hate overly flowery mid century glop. I need a fucking readme.txt overview for ADHD.
