The irony is so deep."
I was making generalizations about people that I think is true.
But I wasn't calling people names, or making them seem as though they are 'out of touch and stupid' because they are either from the city or a small town.
There are advantages and disadvantages of both - but city people are by far and away more 'individualist', in much the same way that 'Americans' are usually more individualist than say, Swedes. It's just a generalization, not bigotry.
- wcummings 10y agoI was referring to the post I originally replied to, which has since been edited. It called "city people" selfish, depressed and obsessed with money among other tired stereotypes.
- jomamaxx 10y agoCity people are actually more selfish, depressed and obsessed with money. It's not a stereotype, it's true. There's a lot of data on urban/rural happiness and it all points in the same direction. As for the other attributes, they are generally true. Spend more than 3 months solid in the same small town. Then come back to the city - it will feel weird, antisocial, and a little crazy.
