    People’s feelings about their own status is always relative to their own country anyway. Maybe less so in the flattened world culture of the internet age.

    It's also pretty easy for those who don't live here to assume everyone has the same standard of living as the American assholes she talks to in online forums.

    Please love yourself.

      Yeah, but us Louisiana assholes are better than the West Virginia assholes.

        😄 Well, they aren't exactly Southern—they're the only state to secede from the Confederacy, after all—but they are Appalachian. Except they pronounce that in a way that you would probably consider offensive.

        Please love yourself.

          Wait, did @89th really just try to claim he’s a southerner because he lived in Fairfax, VA?

            The people that pronounce Appalachia correctly are the same people that mispronounce Oregon. Yet, everyone that works at the Oreo cookie plant (even in Virginia) pronounces Oregon exactly right. Go ahead, try it: eat an Oreo cookie and say "Oregon." Works like magic.

              LOL I like to remind Jolly from time to time that I was born and raised in the south. Gotta draw the line somewhere… 😉

                    I also said I thought the song was whiny and yelly, but said I like folk music in general. Jolly claimed I was born wealthy, which isn't true. I guess my dad could’ve recorded a song in the woods, in front of a deer stand, what a coincidence, complaining about taxes and fatties on welfare. Heck, the content isn’t untrue… but I guess he found a way to make money. The American dream!

                          Half the buildings and most of the streets in Fairfax are named for southern heroes.

                          General Lee marched his troops through Leesburg before crossing the Potomac to invade the north. Those guys certainly claimed to be southerners.

                            There are regions of Boston that are more southerner than Northern VA from 1980-2020…
