> at very least on the country side

that's basically what i'm getting at, it's one-sided as all hell

i get that a lot when i talk about moving into the city, but it has always seemed pretty common sense and self-evident to disregard the emphatic pearl-clutching you get from the sheltered middle-class non-identity who espouse fear and repression as a form of virtue

on general principle i expressly try not to pay attention to whatever racial fear-mongering that insecure suburbanites / upper class well-to-dos try to stir up

and 'contrived' is precisely the word to describe the attitude and imperative of people who create facebook groups about black-on-white murder conspiracies

fair enough, i’m familiar with this suburbanite fear-culture where they use the city as a scapegoat for their own insecure aversion to nuanced morality, racial diversity, and alternative culture.

my original sentiment comes from this place of like - if you’re part of the bmore subreddit, i place it in good faith that you’re a fan of Baltimore, right?

and that’s a position where it’s impossible to ignore the city. like, who actually reps bmore because of the county, you know what i’m saying?

maybe i’m blind, or i just don’t pop out on the subreddit so often, but i don’t really see a lot of die-hard county mouthpieces on here, so i assumed the subreddit was localized from the city perspective in the first place, which makes it feel contrived to even want to talk about the county

the county/city pissing contest is a contrived cultural circlejerk that only exists on reddit
