Appalachia is a place that probably does deserve independence. It's the only culturally American place left in the country.

Just what ive seen as someone from Ohio who has visited PA, WV, KY, NC, MD to go see wilderness areas. Its remarkable how similar the Appalachian areas of these states are despite being hundreds of miles apart.
If you pay attention you'll notice something. Those who live in poverty, as you describe, will frequently have a neighbor right next door that lives in a nice home with a clean yard. The beauty of Appalachian culture is that there is very little division amongst the people there. Those who live in squalor and those who live an upper middle class life intermingle all the time. They meet at church, in the grocery store, at school, etc. There is a strong sense of community no matter who you are.
Even if they're white trash, they're white. They're also happy.
Notice anything about this picture?
1980s
The truth is that the only reason Appalachia is "white trash" is that the people of the region were continuously exploited by outside interests to the point of defacto slavery.
Welfare has made things worse too. Lyndon Johnson was a piece of shit.
It's hilarious watching the government try to idolize people like Carl D. Perkins. The man is responsible for helping keep the entire region held down by encouraging federal money to pour in.
Yet you came to see the wilderness still?
North-western NC here in a nearly 98% white county.
Trucks and gravel driveways go hand in hand, plus exploring the mountains in a 4x4 can be quite the panty soaker.
Folks leave crap outside and doors unlocked because they can without fear of getting robbed.
And being concerned about "craft beer" seems like something a fag would worry about.
He's probably a filthy urbanite.
Strip mines and ATVs are the best.

dude i did some driving around lincoln nebraska and felt like i had woken up in nw ohio.
the employee listing in the office looked like it was lifted from the people who graduated 2 years ahead of me.
once i got in the back, everyone looked like they could have been a cousin of someone i went to school with.
midwest is best. can't wait to go back.
Midwest is is also acceptable. Perhaps the Appalachian nation state and the midwestern nation state could be allies. Maybe even part of the same union!
Stay away from these hills outsider's
I grew up in these hills.
I really liked western NC actually. Asheville was nicer than the city Im from in Ohio. And the beer comment is more about the general lack of advanced culture and choices in what you can buy (altho this was only in the more rural areas) And nah, leaving bleached-out junk on your yard is trashy and says you dont give a shit about the aesthetics of your property. Its the same as ghetto folks in the hood who dont maintain their houses
fuck that looks comfy
The land is evil. I keep telling you faggots. Stay away.
You might not believe in spiritual mumbo jumbo. But it’s present whether you believe in it or not.
Appalachia is literally sitting on top of Hell. It is an evil place that breeds evil men.
Big, violent, aggressive, and clever.
as can be for a white man. These are not people you want to wrapped up with.
Nothing beats wandering the hills with a rifle.
Nothing beats hitting the backroads on a winter day.
>The land is evil. I keep telling you faggots. Stay away.
You could have picked The City Of London. Or NYC. Or Washington. But you chose some nice hills.
Spring is beautiful.
Actually that's late summer, my bad.
It’s also because corporations use it as a dumping point for radioactive and toxic waste
These people aren’t high IQ Anglos looking for new opportunity. They were criminals and frontiersmen settling their because they wanted to live away from people or being put there by the government to defend from Native raids.
These aren’t good people these are reclusive bloodthirsty killers who would put an axe in your front if you shook their hand the wrong way.
no but clearly something is wrong with it
Cities turn men into degenerates. Appalachia turns men into beasts
It is a great and terrible land. It’s inhabitants are part mutant from the wastes or part beast from their savage ancestry.
Stop trying to scare the normies. There's nothing wrong with more whites moving here.
oh right the twins or is it just 1 with a copy of it?
>advanced culture
Tree bark IPA's isn't what I'd call advanced culture.
What's available to buy more locally is what's in demand. We don't need Gucci shoe stores when most wear boots.
As for stuff left outside. Well, I will agree and say it can be an eyesore. But it's not my property or yard, so it seems like a non-issue.
Lastly Asheville is full of homeless, fags and raging dykes. It was a great place once upon a time, but the so called "advanced culture" has ruined it... None the less I'm sure any other city in America beats out pretty much all of Ohio.
No brown people you silly slav.
This is how it is in any agrarian area. The rich cannot hide, wall themselves away; they are known in the community. If they're cunts to people with less, if they exploit, they have to face these people.
We have more murders than Baltimore. They go unreported.
It’s a place filled with 99% whites of Scottish and German ancestry. There is no reason these people should act the way they do. They aren’t even stupid when it comes to SAT scores nor are they impoverished when it comes to socio-economics. Something in the land is turning these people sour, and it’s been here a long time.
I'd take my chances against those the system doesn't back completely to further their warped cause
You're delusional or desperately trying to scare people away.
>Send all the Mills as factories overseas
>Get all the kids from the area to leave their families behind
>FUGGING WHITE TRASH APPALCHIA SUGGS
I feel you man. My aunt is trapped in a dying town. I love the Appalachians and can deal with the drawbacks because of it.
>delusional
>desperate
>scary
That is literally 100% of the people living in Appalachia
Appalachia vs Mountain West, pros and cons GO:
Post some source for murders or shut the fuck up Muhammed.
Appalachia is unironically the heartland of the nation.
>Small towns tucked into the mountains with a quiet main Street.
It's the last place you can find true Americana.
Somebody post the "Bitch Burgers" incident
Appalachia is warmer, wetter, has lots of arable land, has utilities, has enough people to maintain infrastructure but not so many that you live in hive conditions.
Appalachia also has lots of biting insects, a few poisonous snakes, floods, low education rates, less money, and is full of hardcore christcucks.
I'll let someone else chime in on the rockies.
There are a lot of degenerates. But it can be remedied...
Compared to any major urban area the degenerate level is extremely low.
>but the so called "advanced culture" has ruined it
This -there is also a lot of the redneck revolt types setting up shop there.
TFW you may actually get to give communists the free helicopter rides that they demand!
Apple8cha ain't no Fearnet movie.
Now, the Ozarks ... wife lived outside Joplin, MO There was an area deep in the piney woods where even the sheriffs wouldn't go.
So if you walk into a rough looking bar deepwoods, and there are human ears nailed to the wall, phone shows 'No service' well, yeah, walk out backwards as quickly as you can.
But most of them are just people living their lives, and without a lot of the bs we have to deal with.
How would little towns in these areas treat foreigners? I've always wanted to fuck off to the middle of nowhere in america but i always thought that they dont really like outsiders
>compared to full blown aids, this HIV is pretty survivable...
Youre not wrong -but I have had my mouth drop at the shear level of stupidity, where im at.
They are deeply respectful and kind as long as you do not attempt to force them to change anything about their lifestyle.
Also don't be catholic.
snake-handling churches are about as based as it gets
the next step is to let those snakes loose in a mosque
Pentecostals are seen as oddballs even here.
What are the wires/cables in the pic?
Are they power lines or tethering cables for a tower of some sort?
This ain't the place for you, somewhere in the midwest'd be better for a Euro
Is anyone here from / living in West Virginia?
I was planning to visit a relative there either late July or some time in August, but fear it'll be extremely hot and sticky. Any advice?
I can't speak for the Appalachian region, but in the west/rocky mountain states, they are very much against outsiders. If you didn't grow up there, then you don't belong. The reason for this is because of liberals moving into their states, primarily Californians. It's very difficult to fit in when you move to Montana, Idaho, or Wyoming, regardless of how right wing you are.
Three phase power lines.
Home sweet home. Appalachian Independence when?
It'll be hot and sticky, but not quite as bad as the gulf coast states. It'll definitely be a lot more humid than you're used to.
The Empire of Appalachia sounds fucking fantastic. I want me a cabin deep in the woods away from faggots and commies.
July/August in Appalachia is extremely hot and humid. The mosquitoes will be awful. Just dress in breathable clothing and buy some DEET or Picaridin based insect repellent.
I like to kayak out there, but I live in NOVA. It's nice to be around whites and get into some wholesome activities.
Have you ever noticed that Appalachia and Eastern Europe look very similar in photos? I feel like the cultures are very similar a lot of the time. Very white, somewhat poor, and a strong disrespect for authority.
Hmmm, thank you. When do things cool down?
I was planning to rent a car and see as much of the state as I can in around 5 days, approaching from Norfolk VA. Any suggestions?
Pennsylvania Dutch Country reporting in
Try to visit the Blue Ridge Mountains. Possibly check out some old mining towns. Also just get out and drive. You can see some really interesting stuff and abandoned structures by just heading up the nearest hollow (pronounced holler).
WNC
Beautiful, innit?
I'm from East Tennessee man. The area of Poland I'm in is very flat with rolling hills. But they do look similar and the people generally keep to themselves.
Thank you user.
Enjoy one of my all time favorite songs.

I'd love to live out in the woods in Appalachia or maybe the Ozarks, just me my dog and my instruments.
Maybe one day
Just be careful if you go walking in the woods in the fall. There's people there that don't want you around.
ginseng
eh you might off yourself when literally every appalachia boi tells you theyre Irish.
Kek maybe. I got fairly used to it in England
>Maybe one day
Just go, just pick up and go.
>There's people there that don't want you around.
Care to elaborate user.
I'm a yankee who has spent a good bit of time in the deep south and other than a few people who ..with good reason I bet...never felt mistreated or shunned.
Many people were standoffish till they got to know me but that is just common sense anywhere.

Mountain West has the aesthetics... if you can really self sustain in the wild, it's where to go. Otherwise Appalachia.
Correct.
As the above mentioned there's major cash crop that grows wild in these mountains. Those that are out "hunting" it don't play games. If they think you're fucking with their income, they're not going to be kind.
