    US

    Ideally I’d really like to live in an alternate history version of the US where we got our shit together at some point. I overall really like this country, there’s a lot of cool things and places here, and while a lot of the bad stereotypes about us are based in truth, I do find my countrymen to be overall friendly (it should maybe be noted that I’m a cis straight white guy)

      I’d like to live in a country that isn’t so obsessed with class and money. Where people only treat you well if they think you are rich.

      I am working-class coded guy, and where I live it means people hate you and openly talk about how people like me are all shitty and awful and should be ‘fixed’. But when I leave the city people are way nicer to me, because they are working-class and don’t think the way I dress is ‘offensive’.

      And of course, if I mention I went to harvard they go from thinking I’m scum of the earth to wanting to suck my dick… and the country people go from thinking i’m normal to thinking i’m a pretentious rich douchebag…

      funny how this place works.
