We had an extended conversation about this in that thread I made. You know damn well I don't think the hillbillies are all dukes of hazzard.
A PSA: Dear non-Southerners and non-Hillbillies...

Fair point, but I still get this eerie and unshakeable feeling that your admiration for Appalachia is entirely because of some bizarre edgy "/pol/ traditionalist" rhetoric.
I get it, you're Canadian and the grass is greener on the other side.
With that said, Appalachia is still a decrepit hellhole.
If California epitomizes the worst of progressivism in America then Appalachia is the epitome of the worst of traditionalism and social conservatism in America.

I don't even go to /pol/ so I don't get why you think you can strawman me like that. I've told you that I live in the rough equivalent of an american redneck town and that I've seen the troubles, fuck sakes due to our border closeness my town is a huge part of the drug highway. I've probably seen more druggies than you have due to this.
But that doesn't change why I think rural folk are something to be admired instead of disdained. What I'm getting from this is that you had a shit upbringing and have a compulsive need to disparage your heritage, which I understand. I'm not particularly proud of being Canadian so I can't talk.
But stuff like a focus on being self sufficient, on having valuable every day skills, of policing your own communities. Those are admirable traits.

I've lived in the city, small towns, and suburbia, and they all have their charms (well okay other than suburbia). I just object to the bizarre caricatures presented by people like MovieBlob as if outside of his hive are nothing but subhuman heathen (heathen literally meaning those who live in the heath).
The caricature of every city dweller as some kind of deranged antifa bugman is just as ridiculous.

I agree. I wish all rural people had them.
You'd think, but tell that to Ser Prize.

After getting shot at Appomattox, I would have thought the war between the states was over, but now, I see the war continuing the rage on at a Florida gentleman's bird farm...

Timothy Olyphant was right.
Anyway do you remember those "my culture is not your costume" ads going around years back? One of them was an Appalachian guy, maybe in his 20s. What people failed to get (tumblr hive) until someone pointed it out is that Appalachian people get mocked and shit all the time. It is unsettling but because of the redneck stereotype they get lumped in with it all the same.

(I don't live in Appalachia, but I can make a meta-commentary on the South)
The South in general is kinda shite if you aren't a boomercon conservative who does the gayass good ol' boys club thing and are the extremely pious type that is either a degenerate or hypocrite behind the scenes. There are peopele ITT that think the South is the bastion of the white race (lmao) or super based due to its politics or due to proliferation of rural communities (this is actually relatively understandable), but they are wrong. The South is pretty fucking dull if you aren't a normalfaggot. While it does have a very nice culture based upon kindness and respect and the natural preserves are beyond breathtaking, if you stick out in any relatively minor way, you are never going to make it in the culture and you won't really be a part of it in any meaningful sense.
The culture here is designed to enforce this unspoken rule of homogeneity to a retarded degree. Do you like STEM topics and not sports? Geez, bro, that's a bit anti-social don't you think? Do you like anime (without any sort of fanservice or pandering to degeneracy. I'm talking like DBZ type shit), Japanese culture, video games, metal/hard rock that's a bit outside the norm but not complete noise? That's for children. Real men go fishing and drink with their buddies on the weekend all the time before going to the local college game and listen to shitty country music. It might be because I live in a place that's an intersection between the rural, suburban and urban parts of the South, but this has annoyed the ever-loving shit out of me and has made me want to leave this place like no other.
I admit, the women are pretty hot here, the surrounding nature trails are breath-taking and the city itself isn't terrible, but the weather is absolute ass during the summer and the lead up to it (but that's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things), the combination of the whole good ol' boy shit with frat culture is fucking grating and the personalities of the people here are either dull or infuriating for the most part, plus I have absolutely no chance with any of the women here since they are either shitlib thots or the 1950's housewife type of women who get scandalized by swear words on the caliber of "fuck". In a sense, that's my problem with the South: it's TOO old-fashioned and yet the ways it's progressing are for the worse. I understand that tradition is tradition for a reason, but we don't need to be so bound to tradition that we can't improvise a little as the times change. Likewise, getting rid of tradition is absolute lunacy. But for some reason, it feels like the American South is trapped between these two worlds in the worst spot possible. It's really a hellscape of sorts. The one thing keeping me sane nowadays is just not talking or responding to most people and just bothering with my family, friends and workmates. You have to make the most out of what you have.
Mind this isn't a defense of the absolute lunacy of the progressive spaces of the country or the world at large. It's just my personal gripes with living in the South my entire life, in a place I could never fit in without lying to myself. Some, maybe most people, can do it here. I can't do it unless it has to do with some shit more important than basic bitch socialization like a job, or a formal event or the like.

Dude, it was an over-exaggerated shitpost. Maybe I got a little too carried away with it and for that I apologize.
Hell, Appalachia is ten times worse than the South in all the ways that @Tomboy Respecter mentioned about the South but we don't even get the hot women like the Deep South does.
As a general rule, Scots-Irish hillbilly women are hideous in both looks and personality and they also age worse than an unburied corpse on top of that. Melinda Leigh Scott is an infamous example of what I'm talking about.
There are obviously exceptions to the rule but they are few and far between.

Imagine being proud of being a Scot.
A "country" so cucked that they don't just want England to rule over them but the EU as well.

There's only one country that thought a 240mg oxycontin pill was a great idea, and that's the country I'm talking about.
