An Abhorrence for Urban Life
A Rural American Comments on the Ideology of Suburban Sprawl

“Growth for the sake of Growth is the ideology of a cancer cell.”
-Ishmael
“Grow or die.”
-corporate axiom
As I currently read Forty-Four Years of the Life of a Hunter, the constant theme among the people of the just born American Nation was to move away from the centers of power. Mesach Browning was moving away from settlements more often than not as he migrated with his aunt and uncle. Ironically, they were sometimes provided homes in the form of an abandoned hunter’s cabin, as hunters could typically not abide neighbors at all, even the kind of neighbors fleeing the slave master economy of the coastal cities.
As I communicate with folks in the Western U.S., like Ishmael, whose ancestors moved many times in the manner of Mesach, an abhorrence for urban life and a recognition of suburban life as its offensive incarnation is clearly manifest in the subtext of our correspondence, which Ishmael puts into focus with the concise statement above.

I can relate. My ancestors on both sides have never lived in towns with more than 1500 people. Never. Maybe a few of the English and Normans; maybe some Cahokia or big-town s-e Injuns, but that would be it. They are rural people. Ranchers, horsemen, farmers. My dad's forebear was in Missouri by 1820. That man's Melungeon-Cherokee wife died here in KS in 1870. She was born the year Washington took office. She'd crossed half a continent. My mom's people got sent to Australia from Cork and then got the hell out and came to KS. Still have cousins in Oz and THEY don't live in towns either.

As REH said, "Aryans weren't meant to live within walls".

Now they're trying to cram the entire nation into coastal megalopolises. City folk have bizarre hairstyles, ridiculous attire, and little sexual dimorphism.
