People who live in big cities often come across as more short-tempered and outspoken compared to laid-back rural folks. Urban dwellers are also more easily puppet-mastered by social engineers at every level. This has been true throughout history, as the masses of poor people have been bottled-up in slums to better control and keep an eye on. Give them cheap booze and drugs and plentiful sex, and they’ll be happy. The downside has always been early demise and runaway pandemics like cholera and the plague. Coronavirus is the same because infections spread more easily in teeming cities, and always will.
Big city people are mostly Democrats. One recent article on Mike Bloomberg has summarized the urban voter everywhere: “Surveying the entire country, one would be hard pressed to find the citizens in any other jurisdiction more bullied by politicians, unelected bureaucrats, and the thought police than those in New York City. New Yorkers pay nosebleed taxes, endure onerous regulations on many aspects of daily life, and accept the slop provided to them in public services and education. At most, a few whimper while the smart ones leave. By any objective standard, New Yorkers are a docile bunch. They even allowed their Second Amendment rights to essentially be taken away from them. To us in flyover country, this is tantamount to being neutered.”
Further, “Bloomberg’s problem is that he mistakes rudeness for courage in standing up to bullies. There, New Yorkers excel. And that rudeness is in response to their impotence and constantly being bullied by the city’s government.” They do as they’re told at the voting booth. People vote in straight Identity Blocks or according to the Party Machine, along racial and gender lines. Wages are higher in cities, but so is everything else, including taxes. There are so many entertainments and diversions for governments to easily take back the wealth. Welfare money certainly gets recycled. Few get ahead, though some build up equity and escape to more conservative places like South Dakota, Florida, and Texas.
Big cities are where all the broadcast and Hollywood media come from, pounding-in negative propagandistic values all day long, every day, all year. One commercial after another. Notice how viewers don’t even get a split second to check their own feelings or values. Remember how, when approaching a city back in the 50s, drivers could tell from which direction rooftop antennas were pointing, where the city center was? Wasn’t that far out of town that people were FREE from all the nonsense.
The Coronavirus is just another byproduct of compressed and sheepish urban lifestyles. Those rural families who minimize urban contacts, including television and other entertainments, will be most likely to survive future pandemics that are even now evolving in dark, congested alleys.
