hello rural americanons, i'm curious about your way of life. my day-to-day feels cramped and stressful recently. because of this, i've been fantasizing about starting over in a small town in Arizona or Nevada. the thing is, i really despise the current corporate america and its political climate and maga retards, basically. social media is part of it too. would you say people in rural america are like noble savages, or is it all the same? one thing i admire about america, is its scale, with huge natural areas and sparse populations, which give you that feeling of being disconnected. is it possible to get by with a manual labor job, renting a place to live? or is this americana sort of vibe a thing of the past? how sociable are rural americans? i am very self conscious and polish people feel especially judgemental, but maybe a different language and culture could provide the detachment needed to open up more. besides, it even feels like i am more conversational in english than in my native language. so what might living there be like, bros?
small town arizona: mexican, spanish speaking, and /pol/. Living next to a freeway with indians nearby who steal everything and unironic Make Israel Great Again flags everywhere, cows and nuclear wastesmall town nevada: off 80 or 50, mexican, spanish speaking, low flying aircraft and nuclear waste50 is more desolate but it's REALLY desolate, driving out there you'll go 2-3 hours without anything and it's a great place to hide a dead body. It is the northern border to Area 51 and is where all the nuclear waste is
>>217222865so, basically, Arizona is like Postal 2 and Nevada is like Fallout 2 but with less ghouls
>>217222810if you want a cozy rural life you will want to live in northern california, new england, or rural oregon. or maybe even somewhere in appalachia like west virginia. not arizona or nevada. rural people in america, like rural people in every other country, are much more friendly and non-judgmental than urbanites and suburbanites.
I left because there are nojobzunless you're going to work in medical, public education, or emergency services like police and fire, there are no jobs to be had outside major metropolitan areas except minimum wage retail and food servicethere are few factory labor jobs paying $10-$20/hr but they are highly coveted
>>217223055and if you really want to live in a desert eastern oregon is a really nice high desert. go there not arizona
You can just visit it for yourself OP. There is even a direct train to Nevada from Chicago.Here is is. The Nevada Experience.
depends on how ruralthere is a huge difference between 10k and 50 people, and also a huge difference when it comes to remoteness. you need a job and that will be harder to come by in smaller towns, which also have the downside of lack of anonymity. it kind of sucks sometimes to know everyone you see but that also includes trust. we don't even lock our doors in my very small "town" because literally no one goes there unless they live there or are visiting someone that does. there are also zero actual jobs that pay in something other than beer so i have to leave for long periods to work.i also used to live in a town of 10k but it is pretty much the same as a large city except less social opportunity and things to doi've briefly lived in the southwest and it was ok but i'd also consider places like eastern oregon and idaho. idk anything about the east coastreally just go where you can get a decent job or you will be bored and depressed. it will occupy you and also give you the money to have fun the way you want.
You can go to Nevada or Arizona, you'll love it. If you are white and smart the immigration status issue won't be a huge problem. You have to get a perfect accent though. I have traveled through empty desert in that area more than most people and it's one of the few places I'd settle in. It takes a special kind of person though. It feels like the actual frontier, there's nothing like it in Europe or even in the old world. If you have any questions just speak.

>>217222810A lot of places in the US, even in rural areas, have very little manual labor. There ARE places where its still viable to make a living doing manual labor but you have to do your research first. The rockies are a good bet (oregon, montana, idaho). Foresting, mining, and agriculture are probably the biggest industries
>>217222810why go to desert places? why not Cascadia or Rural midwest?
>>217223342He is from Poland, if he wants the Midwest he has it at home
>>217222810If you want somewhere that's>Easy to find manual labor>Cozy/scenic, lots of nature>Nice vibe>Low cost of livingI recommend Libby, Montana (or other small towns in Montana). There's tons of difficult physical work that needs to be done and a huge shortage because of lack of young peopleThere's definitely other such places you can find if you research
>>217223434now show it in winter (8 months a year)
>>217222810>i've been fantasizing about starting over in a small town in Arizona or Nevada.I live here in Arizona, it's hot as hell in summer but the rest of the year has pleasant weather conditions. You get the blue sky most of the year besides monsoon season. MIGA is big here in AZ, so avoid talking politics in public. Jobs are the not greatest unless you go to Phoenix or Tuscon for tech jobs.
>>217223115>nojobzHalf of the rural US has a massive labor shortage, the other half has no jobs. You just have to move to somewhere that actually has labor rather than bumfuck arizona
>>217223502idk I live in the midwest and there are no jobs hereI think most of the rhetoric about labor shortages is just to pay people less. IE complain that you can't hire people but never increase pay beyond poverty wages until daddy gubment ships in a million jeets. There are actually a lot of people here who would take virtually any job that pays enough money to live in a one bedroom apartment but the problem is that most of these jobs don't.
>>217223342my recent vibes have been partially inspired by fallout new vegas, gta san andreas and this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na47wMFfQCothere is just something about deserts that makes them feel like a frontier. it's also the most different from where i live and america is probably the only well developed country with such landscapes.
its so sad that we just cant live where we want to and jobs are limited as hell
>>217222810This doesn't look rural
>>217223676If you visit AZ, come check out the Big Sandy Shoot. >https://bigsandyshoot.com/
>>217223879oh fuck, prices have gone up around $50 per spectator, used be $25-35. Machine gun rentals are the same price since 2016.
>>217223055I don't know what the fuck you're on mate, but rural people here in Australia are extremely judgemental and gossipy, it's a royal pain in the arse to grow up in a small town because everyone knows the outline of your fingerprints and giggles about it
>>217223797I had a glimmer of hope that remote admin jobs would lead to Americans being able to spread out into smaller towns again but instead our Jewish masters just shipped them all off to the third world so we're all even worse off
>>217222810that looks suburban
>>217223676go to Goodsprings, it actually feels just like the gameall of that area is peak cozy
>>217223958aussies are weird everything's upside down over there you don't count
>>217222810The US is so huge that you've got a bunch of different situations and vibes. I live in a fairly rural area in Maryland (Eastern Shore). The town I live in has like 1.3k people and not many jobs other than some work in shops, restaurants, and maybe the waterfront. That's the case for most of the small coastal communities. We're kept afloat by tourism though - a fuckton of people come here from like April-October. There's a college town nearby - they have more jobs in little shops plus some light industry and everything connected to the school and county government, plus some remote workers. It's not the wealthiest part of the state but there is money, and the cost of living is WAY lower. Compared to the more urban counties, the pace of life is slower, and people are generally friendly. The nearest big city is like an hour and 20 minutes away.
thanks for all the replies anons. i made sure to read them all and they made for a comfy thread. it definitely sounds like the kind of place i'd like to live in, even though the employment situation doesn't sound good. regardless, thanks for improving my image of america. these rural parts of it redeem the dystopian urban areas, I think.
