I'm just too skeeved out by selling my blood to try it. Selling body parts is something put in parodies if over the top dystopian settings.

These biases exist in mallard men just as much as in human men.

Professional beggers are nothing new, in fact many social programs (specifically for the disabled) have made it relerivly worse by taking the legitimately unable to work off the streets. A funny thing that.

They could have made Paul Bunyan sneakers (or more likely at the time cigarettes), but they wouldn't sell in the south. They needed a standardized narrative across all locales. And characters that they own is a nice bonus.

Eh, it's not quite that simple. Early American Christianity is puritan Christianity, and their dislike of the church of England led to the anti-king sentiment, but it wasn't nearly as wide spread as is now taught; it was in fact the political trend among the ruling class, not the folk that led to the no kings idea. American peasants were calling George Washington 'Your mMajesty' and in all but name treating him as a king, it was at his request that they called him and all future presidents Mr. President. The constitution and the structure of the federal government was also highly contested, it was the liberal freemasons (as was the style among the rich at the time) who won out; and not without quite undemocratic shenanagins! Modern Americans have been brainwashed with Democratic ideals their whole lives, but one look at how much importance is placed on the head of state as opposed to say, the much more important subprime court and you'll see that autocratic rule in it's nature isn't at all unappealing, just the words and forms we've been taught to hate.

The federal governments founding was a big mess and the official history you learn in school is a much cleaned up version.

We used to have tons of legends, about cowboys and mountain men and lumberjacks and lakemen and river men etc. It however was right in it's final stage of development when mass media, radio and eventually tv, arrived and one shot the cultural development of Americans. Americas age of legend was only 200 and some odd years ago, the myths were still being writen. It wasn't just chance, there was a very intentional move away from folk stories to cosmopolitan fiction. One of the most tragic events in history, so many rich cultures cut down right as they were about to finalize.

Thinking about the big picture is the wrong way to do it.

Because you can't effect it. You can however probably help your local bum on the other hand. Thinking about things outside your power frustrates to no effect. Do what you can be done and not what can't.

Maybe, I just think people see a scraggly skinny fat white man smoking shirtless in front of a gas station and they feel instinctual danger instead of sympathy, and not always without justification. The average hobo isn't like what people who don't live around them imagine, and for the people who do they're begging for change and the uncertantly of if they're druggies or just unlucky causes them to get annoyed anytime they're force d to interact.
tl;dr they're a lot less sympathetic in practice than in theory.

Also not having a mailing address locks you out of applying for most jobs.

As someone who lives out of his car this is certainly true, in so many more ways than you can think of before you've experienced it. Being able to store multiple days worth of water for example has stopped me from drinking clay filled stream water.

To be fair the manga turns into 'shounen' too.

Roko's Basilisk is fascinating to me. Literally a cult trying to create their dark god because it's creation is inevitable and anyone who doesn't help in it's expedient creation will be punished for all eternity (this is what they actually believe). They call themselves the rationalists and proclaim pure material logic.
