I wrote a book called “Crap Towns”. It seemed funny at the time

Be harder to identify the non crap towns tbh.

It's exactly this kind of structuralism induced fatalism that makes more towns than ought shit.

If you know a town is shit, it's your moral obligation to tell them so that their kids and smart residents move out. Post 2000s progressive seem to think that Towns, religions and culture can form opinions. They are trying to be "empathetic" and so get tricked by scammers who personally benefit from these horrible situations.
