#2 That was a refreshing read. "Leavemethefuckaloneistan" sounds like a nice place to live. When it stops being that way, there is always "FartherOutLeavemethefuckaloneistan."

#3 The author is wrong on many points here. This insanity does not end within the borders of large cities. It is cultured there with the express purpose that it spread outward.

#4 Complacency is not a good strategy.

#6 True, is sane and calm here. The left cities are done. People are leaving if able. Their news goes unread. Paper dragon that has no life. No bailouts. Let them stew in their mess. Many are enjoying fishing here. They couldn't care less for the city people. Turn off media as many rural people are doing and you have happier times.

#7 Complacency is not a good strategy.

We're not really complacent out here in Leavemethefuckaloneistan. The author's depiction of us is pretty accurate: there is a wide variety of opinion, lifestyle, and ethnicity. (Or at least more than city dwellers suspect.) And we argue a lot among ourselves.

But all rural and small town people everywhere in the world live by the old Arab saying "Me against my brother, my brother and I against my cousin, and my brother, cousin, and I against the world." We tend to lock arms real fast when threatened by outsiders.

#8 My (relatively) small East County San Diego suburb showed up with armed defenders on the first big planned protests. Now we have 5-6 protesting peeps with signs at a major intersection on weekends. La Mesa was a lesson

#11 My home town in li'l ol' NorCal has its Police and Fire Station barricaded. Protesters out in front of both (they are located adjacent for fokks sake) with no LE response. Protesters stopped car of a nurse who just finished her shift at hospital a block away. The was pulled from car and viciously assaulted. No response at all from LE that was literally feet away. Noone is safe. Bank on this

#12 Because a person lives in Leavemethefuckaloneistan, doesn't mean he won't vigorously defend, family, friends, home, community and country if it comes down to that. So far, it just means that Antifa and BLM (or others) have not shown up to cause trouble.
