Sorry, by 'political bigotry' I meant the assumption that 'The Coasts' represent what is 'modern' or in any way ideal.

  > I meant the assumption that 'The Coasts' represent what is 'modern' They do though. Multicultural, global trade centers, high tech industry. They are the modern world. That's a big part of the problem, there are places that haven't adapted and as a result are suffering. For a lot of people (say, the vast number of americans who live there) they are closer to the ideal than living in a town in wyoming or wherever. Same thing is true the other way.

    "They do though. Multicultural, global trade centers, high tech industry." No they don't. They represent a specific vision of the future. There are many people living very high standards of living all around Bavaria, Stwitzerland, Netherlands, Scandinavia - that are not part of 'city centres, multiculturalism, or high tech'. The future is whatever we want to make it.
