   J. D. Vance's book is very good so far, depicting white trash - something I don't really knew about

     @kaia I grew up in a major city and moved out here three years ago and I'm more of a hillbilly than Vance is. We don't claim that asshole.

     @prettygood @kaia I'm not reading that book but if either of you want to shoot some stuff past me, and see if it gets the hillbilly stamp or not, let me know because I definitely know about some hillbilly shit at this point in my life 👍

     @kaia so you never had a multi-drug user sit and howl "always look on the bright side of life" in the stairwell all night before the day of an important math test?
     
     sounds a bit privileged tbh

     I did find that one tough to get through. Conflict of Visions was better, and I even liked his marxism book better, though I'm not sure if it was actually less dry, or if I was just more interested in, and had more background knowledge on the subject.

     Seems like a dangerous place to have such a book.
