I moved from an urban are to a rural one. I now constantly feel like the rules of the county (permiting and all that) are being decided by people who have no clue whatsoever what it's like to live where I do. On top of this, you get people who are into doing things like redrawing the districts so that each one has an equal representation based on superficial characteristics like skin color while ignoring more pressing things like geography concerning wildfires and infrastructure. It's definitely a "clueless city folk trying to legislate things they don't understand" vibe.
That said, my moral/political stances haven't changed much, in fact I'm becoming more radical as time goes on. Who knows if it's because of living here or if it would have happened in the city anyway. Probably a mix.
- throwaway5752 4y agoValid concern. You don't like being told what to do with your body/property by someone else that doesn't understand those concerns, and isn't impacted by their own decisions. It seems like you would have a lot of empathy for all the women who are in the same position today.
- orthecreedence 4y agoYes, I do have a lot of empathy for them. I think the original Roe vs Wade decision was probably the best moral and legal compromise we could have made, and the fact that people take issue with it says more about their twisted need to control or shame others than their supposed moral fortitude. This is a dark day for a lot of people and an upsetting signal for the direction the country is moving. I'm not thrilled about it.
