More from a "graduate student" at Berkeley who thinks rural residents are bad and should be shamed

If you live in the farmlands of America, or in the vast mountainous regions far away from cities, Berkeley "grad-student instructor" Jackson Kernion claims you're a bad person who has made bad choices and deserves to be uncomfortable.

"I unironically embrace the bashing of rural Americans. They, as a group, are bad people who have made bad life decisions. Some, I assume are good people. But this nostalgia for some imagined pastoral way of life is stupid and we should shame people who aren’t pro-city.”

Kernion began by advocating against affordable healthcare solutions in rural America, saying that “Rural Healthcare should be expensive! And that expense should be borne by those who choose rural America!  Same goes for rural broadband. And gas taxes,” Kernion added.

“It should be uncomfortable to live in rural America. It should be uncomfortable to not move,” he wrote.

Kernion tried to justify his statements with economic arguments about not making rural life “*artificially* cheaper,” but quickly devolved into personal attacks against rural and not “pro-city” Americans.

All across America farmers fill the plates of city-dwellers who believe food comes from the grocery store.  Just as they believe electricity comes from a plate in the wall.
