Hey, leave rednecks out of it, the real ones mostly whant to be left alone and the more political ones are just syndicalist and pro workers rights. The nazi ones are city dwellers that own small dick energy trucks.

Man I know lots of small town rednecks and none of them are pro workers rights.

They've all been fooled into believing trickle down economics and at least half are anti vaxxers and while most aren't vocal about LGBT stuff they all roll their eyes and wouldn't give a shit if trans people were crucified. Oh and they all have oversized trucks just like every redneck does.

I don't know where this idea of good rednecks comes from, there's plenty of good people but they aren't rednecks.

Well fuck them i guess. Might as well label every single person that lives in rural areas your enemy if you are gonna generalize that much.

I guess I wasn't clear enough in my last sentence, so me spell it out for you:

There's plenty of good people in rural areas but they aren't rednecks.

Nah, I'm not letting the racists claim redneck. I'm not letting them take Jeff Foxworthy

You wherent, you said good people cannot be rednecks, i.e. rural people. But wathever i dont whanna keep arguing about this. Just dont hate people because they have a rural lifestile, Ok?

Where is this idea that rural equals redneck coming from? Now who's generalizing, good lord

I didn't knew that about good rednecks! I only knew it about the good skinheads. But, today I learned...
