>>380669333Appalachia is the perfect environment. The fact that’s it’s considered poverty is indicative of the artificiality of our whole economic model.

>>380669333I don't know user. I considered moving there for the cheap land and beautiful nature but I am worried about being targeted by the locals. And by locals I mean the drug addicts, hillbilly types, though I know that most are not like that.

>>380670146So basically a fallacious appeal to nature? You realize some parts of appalachia are really industrialized?

>>380670825I am paranoid about being murdered brutally in my home because I grew up in a third world country where being raped and then tortured to death is fairly common. The persons committing these crimes are often not even high on drugs, they do it for funsies. I am terrified of what an actually mid tier or higher intelligent, high on meth person could do.Hillbilly isn't bad, I assume they are a bit territorial though. Don't know how accepting they are of outsiders. That and there's lots of places for a kid to get lost.

>>380671578Nah worst the pillbillies will do is steal your lawnmower when you are at work.

>>380671578Hilbillies are incredibly misrepresented by the media. They want the government out of their lives so they can get drunk and have firearms. They present no damage to you. In fact, they can be some of the greatest people you’ve ever met. Crime they do commit stems from meth or the opiod epidemic, but it’s petty stuff like property crime. Any violence is mutual. I would much rather spend time in a small West Virginian town than any inner city in the country where you can be the victim of a violent crime for looking as if you have money

Look at this picture, it's the perfect example of media jew trying to portray rural childhoods as depressing and lifeless.Even the bike is not parked properly!Look how old that house is, bet they don't even have access to information about people they will never see in real life or places they don't give a fuck about, they probably didn't even heard the things their politicians said yesterday!

>>380673089are you really trying to glorify poverty? I can tell you had a sheltered upbringing. Having almost no money for clothes and groceries is not fun. Having parents that are either alcoholics or strung out on opiates is not fun. Having a father that can't keep a job and takes it out on his wife is not fun. Having a house that leaks water when it rains and the heater barely works in the winter is not fun.

>>380671542Yes because the ratio of multi floor building capacity of human bodies and a car is about 1:1000...

Here's my opinion, all Appalachia states should invest in more train travel between cities and star zoning more western European style of urban density so we can start to avoid bulldozing more of Appalachia or suburbs and parking lots bigger than the Walmart they service

>>380669333Many people would find it hard to believe but still here in 2022 much of WV is geographically unprofitable for modern or in some cases basic infrastructure to be built.

>>380669333i would save it. the same model needs to be applied to the entire sierra nevada range to rockies, the entire dry high basin and range region. wouldnt be too expensive. good investment, would pay for itself within a decade easily. i could see boosting WV GDP per-capita from $51,263.97 to $138,913.43 over that time frame in real (inflation adjusted) terms. the population of WV is only 1,793,716 so we're only talking about $157,218,200,000.00 which is only about four Ukraines.

>>380680336Yes, start trying to find res to build a small church and a modest 30-50 monk monastery. Christian America will flourish from there inside the green swath of Appalachia. You might have made this thread for the first time, but it isn't the first time anons have thought to plant the seed of God in America in Appalachia.Check this old man out, he is a proper Saint of God. In his sermon he asks specifically to not search for divine lights, miracles, prophecies or spiritual gifts, while he had ALL FOUR OF THOSE IN AMPLE SUPPLY.Why would he say such a thing? IF YOU ASK FIR REPENTANCE, Christ sends people like him to your nation and country. He knew very well why he said that.Together in Orthodoxy, for new world that breaks the new world order and treads it to pieces.

Similar marks are an object of aerial tolling by demons.
