I thought movies were making fun of america by putting flags everywhere. Making a social commentary on fascism. They're actually everywhere.

There's american flags on everything. It's actually really freaky. Normal People don't do this. They're even on urinals.

The infrastructure everywhere is falling apart. It's cracking, broken, and grimy. Everything had a layer of filth that could never be clean.

Everyone is in perpetual fear & distrust of one another. Race is really divided, there is no sense of community. It's fear and not strength.

white People there aren't afraid of Muslims or Mexicans or Black People. They're afraid of other white People. Particularly afraid of police

the white People there do all different kinds of crazy & violent things to one another, but clam up & quiet down when it comes to police

They have this "we're the best" propaganda tagline & seriously believe it so scapegoating is the only logical answer. Blame everyone outside

Shift the blame to everyone, while never looking inward. Any problem becomes someone else's problem & doesn't affect me

culture is gentrified. There is no local flavour any more. It's all McDonalds, Chilis, & WalMart in every town. One big strip mall.

Driving through is like a Flintstones backdrop. Every town looks the same. Same music on the radio. Same food. Same ugly, everywhere.

Every town has an environmental disaster. The old mine, old chemical plant, old mill. It was the town's main employer too. Main polluter

"Once the old (insertenvironmentallydevastatingindustryhere) shut down, folks've had trouble finding work, the heart of the town/city died."

welfare & social services are a dirty & offensive concept. Helping other People is frowned upon. If you work, work to the death.

Whatever social services there are, it's like pulling teeth to get at them. For some reason, helping People is really wrong in their system.

Most People just take it though. There's no fight in them. Whatever the plan is, they'll put their heads down & take it. Move along

Most of the People are terrifyingly uneducated. I met one guy while working on the railroad, & all he talked about was Animals he ate

I think I met one sober person while I was there. Most everyone was an alcoholic/drug/food/sex/pleasure addict. I don't blame 'em really

From every angle, they are oppressed. They are mostly psychologically oppressed. They're forced/coerced into this lifestyle. Seriously.

The only relief from this oppressive system is when they get home from work, crack a beer, smoke a bowl, & wait for it tomorrow.

They're so oppressed they don't even realize they are. They oppress each other. Hate each other. It's a bizarre state of affairs
