Withering in cultural atrophy as they're spurned by metropolitan centers, and fed willful ignorance by the people trying to lash together a center of power in the sticks? Self-medication with booze and drugs? Drowning in mass produced goods while material needs are rendered impossible at local wages unless you tether yourself to debt? Which part?

Gatts posted:*walks into room, looks around* orange man and his cronies are symptoms and not the cause they are opportunists taking advantage of the people who voted for them, who are the victims of the destruction of the middle class anger and mockery of these victims is not the way forward as it will only stoke the fires set by trump and similar people higher the only way forward is to meet those voters needs until they have no reason for fear and anger and instead embrace what is good for themselves and our country as a whole

I think Americana is pretty interesting in a way. It's like a memory of a memory of a culture that once existed that is now mass produced in China or sold piecemeal at Michaels. Nothing new created, just a slavish adherence to an aesthetic that is comical in its mimicry.

we used to call these 'tank towns' in the south because the only way you know the name of the town half the time is it's pasted on the water tower tank Tarkus posted:I think Americana is pretty interesting in a way. It's like a memory of a memory of a culture that once existed that is now mass produced in China or sold piecemeal at Michaels. Nothing new created, just a slavish adherence to an aesthetic that is comical in its mimicry. the assumption goes something like: everyone knows each other. life is simple and uncomplicated. everyone has enough to eat and drink and has access to community medicine and recreation. there's enough space to go around, but there's also an ok number of people present, so nobody is either too crowded or too lonely. nobody works too hard, but nobody is too lazy, either. everyone pulls together in this wholesome little mini-society. the reality, of course, is that much like the hunter-gatherer tribes of old, there's lots of deviations from all that which makes it at best a quaint delusion and at worst a vicious lie. with hunter-gatherer tribes it's just straight violence, because it turns out that tribes of a couple hundred people will fight each other over food/water/tools/women on a nearly yearly basis and it's hard to have an 'affluent society' when your chance of being murdered or abducted as raid loot on a yearly basis is a double digit percent, and that's even assuming if you're fine with getting a grass poultice for a cut rather than neosporin and gauze. americana's deviation is that it turns out that it's insane to expect every person to slot nicely into the huxleyesque top-down vision of what the wholesome mini-society is and should be, and whatever finely checked and balanced micro-economy you had going during the golden decade of GAYS ALABAMA is most probably not going to exist in another 15 years when little bobby and shelly grow up. and that's assuming that your mini-society isn't implicitly reliant upon the big crazy world you're seeking to escape in the first place, like the coal towns of west virginia that collapsed when the world decided they didn't need to set their lovely rocks on fire anymore. this is also why americana is so goddamned funny despite having the underlying aura of decay and tragedy. everything is kinda lovely because it's built on a delusion and a stubborn refusal to change, but the delusion is generally so obvious to someone who's thought about the ramifications for more than a few minutes that it seems impossible to think that the idiots who bought into it didn't see it on some level or another. e: i feel like it's important to be clear that americana in this context is specifically Smallville USA poo poo. city living is completely different, suburbia is completely different, actual country living is completely different. specifically talking about these tiny towns of a few thousand souls that don't really have a reason to exist but keep plodding on through a twisted combination of momentum, welfare checks, and fear of the unknown.

 for whatever reason getting this from google maps is giving me a weird chromatic aberration when it screengrab it, but this scrap heap is actually a casino. when i was going through college like 15 years ago i'd make weekend trips down here to play blackjack because it was the only casino lovely enough to not catch you counting cards. i shouldn't say the only one. there's a lot of other warehouse casinos around this part of oklahoma. but it's the one i found first on a map. https://www.google.com/maps/@36.9211558,-94.8370936,3a,75y,147.82h,94.42t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZv9bD4VbWuBP2HIdWeNNHg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 Coolguye fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Dec 28, 2020 |
