“I wish we lived in the world chuds think we do”, example #18492.
You could do this in a small town in the US and have the same effect.
That show, Duck Dynasty, felt like a step in that direction. I never watched the show, but iirc they were all wealthy from a family business and that picture leaked of them like a decade before the show where they look like they’re out of a Banana Republic ad. The bead and camo thing is a branding exercise which is all that seems like now, a consumer identity.
Pertaining to your fourth point, there are a lot of guys driving around my area with a redneck affect in $100K+ gigantic pickup trucks that are pristine. I live in a urban area where you have to drive a good 30+ minutes to find something resembling a farm. Amusingly, I grew up in an actually rural, post-industrial Appalachian town on a small family farm so I have more bona fides than most of these people. I just became a leftist instead.
Miserable post, mods bring back downbears.
