Perhaps it would be more helpful to try to understand what underlying mechanisms have created situations in which apparently self destructive tendencies are expressed in large societies (not just Texas but in general). What can we do to improve on this?
- shermantanktop 2y agoNot a Texas-hater exactly, but there’s something specific here wrt culture and identity. Texans routinely describe Texas as exceptional, as different, as unique. You may be right that there are generic problems at work, but when the protagonist insists that they aren’t like others, it’s not a surprise that people don’t think that way.
