A meme with overpriced exclusive fly-in villages where everything costs 10x as much. The airplane is one of the worst inventions in human history, and by far the most soulless. Any society or person reliant on it, by definition lacks soul rather than has it. If it was up to me, I would ban all airplanes today and have anyone who defends these contraptions arrested and jailed until they accept the demerits of flight.

Every Canada thread is the same, whether it's CanGen on /k/, /Leaf/ on /int/, etc. The entire thread is 300 posts about how gay, tranny and non-white these daemonic unscrupulous bugman urbanites are and how chad, virile, intelligent and gloriously white rural anons are. It's a circlejerk and a massive cope, our rural communities and our cities are both trash heaps and the gay smug contempt LARPing rural anons have is unrelenting resentiment.

I'm not the person who called you an urbanite. I just asked if you were 12. You see, I lived in rural BC for a couple of years, and I found the landscapes very beautiful (and took photos, usually with nude friends, often). It's hard to imagine anyone but a disaffected teen or pre-teen having zero appreciation for the natural beauty around them.

Natural beauty is best discovered. I grew up here. It's a tundra. I love the mountains, I don't live in them, they're not enough to make life here interesting because the humans here are a "mass of dead energy", as Trump put it, the exact same way Vancouverites are.
