So what turned Bob so vehemently against rural living?
It all started when he was a kid.
He was a socially awkward geek with just enough autism to care more about dead things than living humans.
Hyper logical and analytical but absolutely clueless when it comes to social ques and emotional intelligence.
Naturally bullying and social ostracisation occurs. Becomes an outcast and misses out entirely on all the character building rites of passage that would develop him into a responsible adult.
Bobby then goes on to live with his live thinking the future will change for the better and he and his natural traits will be the one which will be appreciated and all those who went up against him in the past will righteously suffer.
Bob then hits 30. He does some introspection.
No friends, No healthy family ties, No health, No savings, No meaningful property, No trade skills, No love life, No aspirations or dreams. Nothing.
He then gets to check out his bullies on social media. If he's miserable then surely his enemies (who likely long forgotten about him) suffer more.
Plenty of friends, tight-knit families, still sporting six-packs, trust funds, mortgage, trade school diplomas, married with children, productive hobbies focusing effort on creation rather than someone else's creation. Pretty good life.
hOw dArE yOu jOcK! yOu dOnT dEsErVe aNy oF tHiS! He thinks.
Could it be that it is his own fault for wasting the most productive and energy filled years on pop culture consumption in order to quench his semi-justified grudges from highschool?
Ofcourse not! It's the system that failed him!
Then GG happened and made all gamers political.
It honestly makes me wonder what the hell happened to Bob to fuck him up this badly?
The dude has so much inner rage and entitlement that it would actually be terrifying if it was in the body of something with real power.
Bob grew up in some bland suburb and with a reasonable amount of comfort and attention from his parents.
Was getting made fun of for still sperging about Mario in high school just that traumatizing?
Maybe it's one of those situations where growing up dirt poor and getting his ass beat daily would have been better for Bob than suburban comfort and leisure?
I doubt we'll ever get an answer for why Bob feels so victimized by Das Juden Red Staters though.
That wouldn't save him at all.
Lolcows are lolcows for a reason. They just dont have what it takes to grow up into adjusted responsible adult.
It's just the right blend of autism, weak mental fortitude, passive childish personality, laziness and spoiled childhood.
