I do snarky posts about U.S. politics and mostly not-snarky posts about PC gaming. E-bike hooligan.

A really weird irony about the "authenticity" debate wrt rural volk vs cosmopolitan elites is that the actual culture of rural red state America in the 2020s is not actually authentic in any meaningful way?
