I have relatives from both coasts that snub us Midwesterners as backwards hicks. They were Midwesterners--or their grandparents were--not so long ago.
The Midwest people are the best and greatest Americans, in my opinion, because they are solid, non-gameplaying, not flashy nor fickle and dissembling.
A culture of individuators would be more mid-Western in behavior and values, than the effete snobbery and fashionable connectedness and position-grabbing so craved by conformist coastal peoples.
How can such smart, educated, affluent, law-abiding, ordinary and decent people act so stupid, ignorant, intolerant and mean to people from other regions of the country?
And they are completely wrong: we are all God's children, and we are all about created equal, and no one is much better or worse, superior or inferior to about anyone else. That is the God's truth, and the scientific, biological and objective truth.
What makes these snobbish relatives so stupid, mean, fluffy, shallow, superficial, pathetic, nasty and heartless is their genetic addiction to group-living, reinforced by societal norms surrounding maintenance and enhancement of social position and cleaving to popular stance among other groupists.
God is love. God is truth. God is an individualist. God is calling us to leave the group and live as individualists, individuating and loving, living angels free, developing and creating.
Satan is hate. Satan is about lies and lying. Satan is a Marxist and collectivist, a political totalitarian and social clique-maintainer. Satan rules this world, and has most humans ensnared and dying while alive, living their quiet lives of social despair, as group-livers.
My coastal relatives that fly as a flock of starling to get and maintain social rank and popularity, are thus endangering their immortal souls while defying God's command and beckoning.
They believe the lie they live so much, that they really believe that they are superior to rather down-to-earth Midwesterners still relatively close to the land.
Our primate ancestry is about 3 millions years old, so the advantages of group-living as a pack of gesticulating, strutting, raucous, prattling baboons, is a way of life that has outlived its social usefulness, and now it retards human advancement.
Individual-living is the coming thing, unstoppable, inevitable and most welcome. Give your Midwestern relatives a break--that gesture just might save your soul.
