    It’s weird you think Hawaii is is more distinct than, like, Louisiana, or inland Alaska.

      Never been to Alaska. Since you are Canadian, I wager, you might know more about Alaska. But I suspect the entire North American continent is fundamentally interchangeable and I have been pretty much every state. Same power structure. Same labeling system. The subconscious “flags” will start going off. Probably the same in Europe or anywhere in the world these days unless you are someplace like Papua New Guinea. The NWO is no lie.

      The American South is unpleasant in many ways. But anywhere might be nice if you are showering everyone in your extravagant displays of opulence for limitless durations.

      The redder states aren’t going to be much better than the blue, but all people anywhere care about is money, which makes matters difficult when looking for a heart of gold. (I always say me and mine will pick out the color of our leer jet and which private island after I know she loves me for who I am as a person and not as an objectified, prodigious bank account. The gold digging. Know what I mean?)

      New Orleans looks nice, but nowhere is good unless you are rich.

        Oh, well sure, if any contact with American culture makes a place the same, then almost everywhere is the same. Definitely Hawaii. Hawaii is basically a big tourist resort for Americans at this point.

        As for money and status-seeking, that’s as old as agriculture, as is people who don’t money and status suffering.

          Yep. But as a student of history around the world, it certainly used to be possible to travel to a new place. Imagine Persia for the Greeks or China for Marco Polo. The journey wasn’t impossible and the destination was completely different. That was true to some extent even in the US. The homogeneity of today is just staggering. Same bullshit everywhere and no variations really on the overplayed theme.
