>90% white>economy is trash and everyone is leavingWhat's their excuse?
>>541331492Their particular subtype of whites but y'all not ready for that discussion
>>541331492>nigger adjacent white
I spent 4 hours chatting up locals today. I have never found or talked to someone in their 20s-30s who stayed and still lives there (in the rural parts I mean). It's easier to let rich people steamroll them than to organize, cooperate, and fight back. That's the shortest answer. They are atomized and fearful and tribalist. >>541331566its interesting how there's an ultra-specific wv phenotype of kinda like a dark beady eyed white, still very clearly white but darkly featured, but doesn't really look like italians eitherno idea where they are from, somewhere in germany I guess
It has literally no natural economic advantages. It isn’t particularly resource rich, the land is rocky and difficult to farm, it’s landlocked, the weather mostly sucks, it does not sit at a strategically important crossroads like Pennsylvania, it has little to no important political history. It basically has nothing going on for it economically. Not even a single competitive advantage.
>>541331566Irish you mean
>>541331722A lot of Appalachians are a mix of Scot-Irish, German, and sometimes Polish and Italian.
Funny enough the 81 corridor through WV is one of the fastest growing areas in the country.
Whites are worthless, just temu jews
the coal mines closed, that's the danger when your entire economy is one thing.
>>541331492bleeding heart bitch Jimmy Carter killed West Virginia, not surprised some brown migrant from Cartelistan doesn't know that.
>>541331492They ain't real Virginian
>>541332006but like german and italian and irish people who don't live in wv look differentthey are from ultra-specific parts of europe>>541332181that's not real wv >>541332268wv is the #3 coal producer, southern wv produces a lot still, and there's more natural gas production in the marcellus shale belt
>>541332716>that's not real wvthat must be why its growing then
>>541331722>atomized and tribalistpick one, retard.
>>541332896well yeah its a bedroom suburb of dc glownigger central and there's wide flat settle-able valleys, most of wv doesn't have that, just narrow valleys that flood badly my point is more inner/highland WV is the most special and unique part of the state, even if it's not rich
>>541332716>that's not real wvYes it is they still hide methlabs in tree stands.
>>541333023I'd wager that any DC glowie that considers settling in WV is doing so for the low taxes, crime, and probably OK schools. They are likely more culturally/politically in line with the hill country folks than you'd think.
>>541331566>>541331492It's a corrupt dystopian shit hole where the cops are literally selling drugs and robbing houses. The cops literally are murdering witnesses over there.
>>541331492west virginia has very little actual usable land. this is 100% of the reason for west virginia's economic woes. its main draws are tourism and people who want to live in a radio wave dead zone.
>>541331566Good morning Saar
>>541333248Hill people don't have anything in common with glowies
>>541332243>but I still want to live with them in their superior countries instead of my shithole homeland!
>>541331492It's a bad place to live. But their state University has a really cool monorail/pod thing that is one of a kind.
>>541331722>ultra-specific wv phenotype of kinda like a dark beady eyed white, still very clearly white but darkly featuredWe call them "blue". It comes from a mix of inbreeding and mixing Ginger anglos with Natives, resulting in red hair and whiteish-blue skin. We have them in NJ too, look up the Jackson Whites.>WV seems chill>Wheeling island looks like a shit hole but still has a dog track
>>541332417>WV>A union StateFTFY
>>541331492I live in bumfuck rural west Virginia. There are no jobs here. I subsist of food stamps.For money I take trips into the wilderness for days on end Gold panning in creeks and looking for wild ginseng plants (which always has Chinese buyers)Its a miserable existence and I can't wait to move to florida next spring
>>541331492Uhh because resource extraction doesn't care about your demographic composition.That's all WV is. It's a giant mining op.
>>541332716just look at Northern Irish Protestants or Lowland Scots. they are the same people.
>>541333913Most of the mines are closed or running skeleton. Its not like it was, there's little demand for coal
>>541331492People in West Virginia are good at one thing, and that's mining coal. So then the government shuts down the one thing they're good at and tells them to kick rocks. Plus White people are not allowed to have anywhere near the same amount of gibs as niggers/shitskins do. That's their excuse.
>>541331492>>541331722They're cowards.
>>541334079well no the most famous thing they do is logginglogging preceded coal extraction and continues to this day
>>541333899i heard you can grow real Japanese wasabi in West Virginia and a few other places in the world.
>>541334098Its a hostile place to live. Snow plows rarely happen. Nearest grocery store and gas station are far away. I live in a town called orlando and God help me if I need an ambulance because the nearest hospital is over an hourThere's nothing here for anyone outside of a few towns
>>541334446have you been to wildcat falls?
>>541334549I'm too poor to leave my irrelevant hollar.
>>541334414Hadn't heard of that
>>541334446WV sounds similar to the UP of Michigan But the UP has the benefit of tourism and taxes from downstate to prop up its fragile economy of logging and dwindling mines
>>541334642it's a very finicky crop that grows well in parts of west virginia in shaded areas with access to clean running water, you could probably grow some in the crick next to your shine still
>>541334780Not for me. I'll be in Tampa in 6 months soaking up sunshine and getting paid well surrounded by beautiful women in bikinis.
>>541334598its like 10-15 miles away >>541334720speaking as someone who just took a trip to the UP and is now in WV, similar in that its logging and mining but UP is a lot blonder and flatter and more outwardly cheesy-touristy >>541334901florida sucks, its where old people go to die
>>541331492It's their curse for being illegally partitioned from Virginia.
