As much as I dislike US and wouldn't mind a few well targeted meteors dropping on it, the people hit hardest by this are the ones who did me no harm, and I'm furious at how much they've been failed by their countrymen. And there's a... special kind of disgust I feel for Yanks who are gloating about this tragedy. hurrrr, republican stronghold, as if a dirt poor black dude who died yesterday had the power to change anything.

How is the area of Denmark used. Pretty self explanatory I hope, "primært foder" means "mostly feedstuff", and the area outside Denmark is soy production for livestock outside Denmark.

lol at the fairly large amount of Republicans in the West Coast and Northeast who would be all for torpedoing their political power. Unless of course they have very different ideas of what the cut up would be.
It could also be moderate R's but even then.

The most fascinating thing to me here is Texas. Where the extremely culturally "Southern" east area is really bad and a lot like the rest of the South. But then that changes over abruptly to something still not very good but considerably more chilled.
I'm getting Poland partition lines vibes from that.

I don't know if it will happen in the US but it's been a pet prediction of mine for a decade that cities globally will tend to gain power relative to other scales of government and will form confederations to protect themselves.

I'm the US (and most places) the only reason rural areas have any political power is because national governments want to balance the concentrated power of cities. If the US were to dissolve then the countryside would lose its precious Senate representation; they have no other forms of power aside from resource extraction.

(Yes I'm aware this is a crackpot idea, don't take it too seriously)

lol if you don't think lots of the West/Northeast republican refugees aren't NIMBY as gently caress suburbanites.
Not to mention really racist people from white-ethnic groups from the Northeast who will not be seen as white in the heartland whatsoever.

Yes and no. It definitely seems that way in the south, but lots of those plains states, mountain states, and rural New England aren't exactly rich areas, and they are in the blue.

I wonder what it would look like, controlled for poverty.

Not that poverty makes the situation any less serious. As a map of where there are needs to be support and resources such, the original map seems useful. But obviously the best way to actually combat this stuff is addressing poverty. It'd be interesting if there were some areas where that wouldn't be enough, though.

So here's a poverty map:

For comparison:


At first glance it seems to correlate pretty strongly, unless there's some obvious anomalies I'm missing.

Edit: I think the reservations have extremely high poverty, but only pretty high domestic violence, compared to other places.

People think the Greeks and Romans weren't prudes because we have access to all of their upper class celebrity gossip and whorehouse toilet scribblings. But that kind of stuff is a pretty bad example of public attitudes towards sexual mores which were generally much more repressive than what you'll see in media representations.

i read a quote from a roman guy whos like "ugh all these women in their transparent silk dresses, how very vulgar"

which isnt the same thing as being a prude, just that they also had very specific thoughts about the body and nudity etc and comparing then/now one-to-one or vice versa is a fools errand

There is the point that before contraceptives, having sex included the risk of starting a family, and the family unit was the main economic unit as well, so infidelity was a lot worse than just breach of trust. That leads to some prudish behaviour I guess.

Homosexuality is a great contraceptive though, so the stereotypical Greeks found a loophole there.
