ah so if you’re poor, taking care of loved ones, or otherwise unable to move, then your life is acceptable collateral damage? accelerationism has victims.
People who’ve never been to those states don’t realize they’re literally a trap.
The rent and cost of living is lower, sure, but so is the pay, and so even if you want to leave you just don’t nake enough money to save up. Moving is expensive, and a lot of blue states cost a lot more than red, so it’s extremely difficult to not only put money aside to move, but also enough to cover the higher cost of living.
And then what if you can’t find a job right away? A lot of folks in the south couldn’t afford an education, so we get stuck as unkilled labor which makes it harder to find a living wage.
Meanwhile you have well off people who’ve never really struggled in the same way aaying it’s their fault for not moving sooner, or in a lot of cases accuse them of “refusing help” somehow.

It’s tiring and extremely frustrating.
