Not really going to happen. Red staters are too decent.
Furthermore this image makes it clear the creator knows that despite all the rhetoric about crazy conservatives.
No, you would just have to flood the capital city with communists. That's very doable, and is literally how most Blue states work.
This is why you need state electoral colleges.
Texas.
Precisely.
They worship ugliness.
That's because ugliness is readily attainable, and they still want the praise that the beautiful would get.
They worship ugliness because they resent beauty.
I'm steadily coming to the conclusion that there is a large enough overlap between ugliness and evil that while not synonymous, they might as well be.
I think there is a link within Christianity at least. The concept of natural beauty as an expression of a the work of God, and the damage of natural beauty is considered evil because someone with malevolence has done harm to that which is the work of God.
Evolutionary, there's a reason why symmetry is inherently beautiful, but asymmetry causes a disgust reaction, and just so happens to be the best way of determining genetic abnormalities without any equipment. Your eye can pick up asymmetry in very fine detail.
If we want to get down to the psychological factor, I don't think people mind incidental ugliness too much. I think the concern is intentional ugliness as resentment of beauty.
Beauty is an aesthetic that requires a significant amount of effort and time. Someone who resents beauty is seeking to rob people of the benefits of all that time and effort making something aesthetically pleasing; then turning around and demanding that their refusal to care for themselves be uplifted.
It is not demoralizing, as much as I think the correct term is: anti-Moralism. It's why Carl Benjamin calls Brutalism "Architectural Terrorism". It's why Jordan Peterson brought up Pinocchio going with a bunch of kids to smash up mansion because it was fun.
The Left are intentionally destroying beauty out of a sense of maliciousness, resentment, and a lust for power: even inside of people, and doing it as a moral imperative.
Watch how quick the sheep turn when not surrounded by their flock.
We hired you because you're great at your job. You want to move up in the company, be one of the boys, come out hunting with us next weekend.
All it takes.
Fortunately, I doubt anyone is going to do this. The target demographic of the image is incredibly lazy and they always complain about how "impossible" it is to move.
And most importantly, most of those states (especially the ones in the OP) are quite difficult to live in. Most of the Liberal Migration Locations are basically urban cities that resemble nothing of their surroundings or uber rich tourist destinations.
The moment a hurricane, tornado, or extreme isolation hits them they would be crying their way back home.
I'm exactly who they're trying to reach, but I voted for Trump both times. Whoever wrote this doesn't realize how much of the hipster remote work population are closet Republicans.
Or they could just ship illegal immigrants there
Hopefully they don’t take this advice.
Tech guys like myself grew up on 4 chan. There's a lot of us that are pretty rough around the edges. We just follow the money
This is the truth of it, right here. If you have a team of ten people in a department, eight of which are typical women and diversity hires, and the other two of which are the hetero white/asian guys who were there before HR "diversified" the hiring, those last two are going to be pulling the entire weight of the department.
Some people ITT have alluded to this, but I've long held a hypothesis that places with austere conditions that require some amount of personal responsibility keep the worst of the leftists away. For example, states like Alaska, and areas that experience prolonged winter storms.
It's a requirement to be a prepper and have a diesel generator, because your power going out during a storm isn't a chance, it's a certainty. Making sure to run some water so your pipes don't burst, and shoveling snow and salting your driveway are all requirements, unless you like flooded basements and black ice for some reason.
I can't imagine your average lefty city dweller being motivated enough to go through all that when the big cities they already live in cater to them and eliminate a lot of the need to do these things. Additionally, I've heard from countless lefties that, "there's nothing to do" in reference to these states and areas.
But like I said, it's just a hypothesis.
I know some folks who became lefties after moving from Alaska, so I wonder if they could survive now.
Possibly, but I'd also bet if you asked them if they'd be willing to be taxed more so people who newly moved to Alaska wouldn't have to prepare and maintain their homes themselves, they'd tell you to fuck off.
Wyoming is where I'm looking at precisely because it's a difficult place to live outside the handful of small cities, and to a degree in them.
Well, once you go north of 60 in Canada, prices tend to skyrocket (but so do wages/salaries.) Alaska is probably similar. Moving north on southern money can look daunting, so they might be turned off by seeing $16 coffees instead.
(The value of the $Cdn actually varies wildly in-country depending on where you are, though.)
Nice, I learned something.
I'd been through Wyoming when I was left and everyone there was markedly nicer than anywhere else. Utahans were as well but good look living in Utah if you're not Mormon.
Have to ask, what's wrong with Mormons? Knew some growing up and they were the nicest people, kinda weird, but very nice.
I really like Mormons and even I'm a little weirded out at times by Utah. The entire state is founded by the faith, and thus the state culture is also the Mormon culture. The members of the faith there dress like the 1980's never really died, so the rebels all dress like 1980's rebels.
On the other hand, it's the only place I know of that has places like the Fizz or Sodalicious that sells mixed sodas and only that. Dr. Pepper with cherry and creme. Non alcoholic drinks that taste wonderful near an all you can play arcade. It's also very geek friendly, because no one drinks and needs something else to do with their life. You'll find boardgame shops next to a used game store in malls that are doing very well. You will also find a store for just ties in every mall.
On the other hand, I've met a ton of Jews and atheists in Salt Lake City. There is a gay district of the city as well. Depending on the university you go to, you can have ultra liberal teachers or plain vanilla liberal teachers.
It's definitely a quirky place, and I don't want to live there, but I don't mind visiting once a year to hang out with folks I know.
I think Mormons are great people and really open and friendly. If you're not one of them though you'll never really belong.
I've been seriously considering a place somewhere in that Idaho/Montana/Wyoming/Utah area. After reading both your comments, I'm now more on the fence about Utah, but it doesn't sound too terrible.
I don't think I saw a single like.
No need, they're already resettling 'refugees' there.
The governor of South Dakota was too busy chemically castrating children.
Gross
I have a very dem friend living in Brooklyn. He's well off (though not in tech) and there's no way in flaming hell he would ever think of moving to any of those states. He's too dependent on NYC
That's probably more true than anyone wants to admit. The entire communist idea is because of how they view city life, and can't imagine a world outside it.
i mean, this is just the communist version of the free state project. styx is right, we should just take over the northeast.
TBH, I’m not convinced if they moved to rural areas they wouldn’t start to change their politics.
Colonizers gonna colonize...
Not gonna happen. Blue-state tech-savvy millennials don't want to live in places where you can literally freeze your ass off in the winter and it's hard to a get decent Internet connection if you're living anywhere other than an urban outpost. They can't get motivated to do anything other than complain about conservatives over their lattes. You're not going to motivate them to uproot themselves and shift over to a state where they view the entire populace as hostile.
Maybe the Laramie Project is a blessing in disguise then.
What does suck is that you need dialup connections in order to access the internet in several places.
Dial-up or satellite are pretty much the only options in a lot of remote places in the US. SoyLibs wouldn't be able to handle the lack of speed or their inability to update their Twitter feed in realitime.
Thats a lot of dead people to move around. Wouldn't people notice the graves being exhumed?
Those states have very open areas. I would be surprised if they ever got found.
Trash should stay at the dump
I've always said the wall should be around California.
Hen will we realize that having lots of kids won't solve this?
Make it intolerable for them
Tell me more. This isn't just because of the geographical frustrations, right? Do they have some anti-welfare policies or something?
