Yep. Loved his Amish segments. Learned a lot.

I’m considering “Going Amish” if the direction of this stupid country doesn’t change.
It may be the only way to maintain sanity.
Somerset is about an hour south of Lexington, but it might as well be a different country. (I have friends in Cynthiana north of Lexington, very small town and not this kind of drug scene as I can perceive.)
Appalachia... Isn’t this a place that is historically connected with moonshine and incest???
It would only seem natural that if you’re going to have sex while drunk with your brother, sister, mother or father... That you do some drugs at the same time. Doh!
Couldn’t agree mMORE...!
I lived in the Tampa Bay Area during the late 1990’s and early 2000’s and the pill mill doctors were over flowing! It was amazing to drive by those places and look at the tags!
I have really been enjoying this guy’s documentaries!
BUMP for later....
Socialist is part of the acronym “NAZI” National Socialist German Workers Party.
Paging Boyd Crowder . . .
“Over and over you ask the young adults why they don’t move out to places where there’s work. They tell you that some do, but the ones who stay do so because it’s all they know and they’re more comfortable with what they know even if it’s poverty.”
When I was in Navy recruiting school we had a class about, basically, not judging others on your standards. The instructor had been a recruiter in Appalachia. He met with a kid at a ramshackle shack with a crap strewn all over the yard. He told the kid, “I can get you away from all this”. The kid said, “Why would I want to leave? One day this will all be mine”.
I don’t feel good about costal elites looking down their noses at poorer Americans.
Maybe he should go to Philadelphia and interview all those drugged-out, half paralyzed and barely moving zombies they’re so famous for?
I understand the interviewer is a local, but the elites watch stuff like this and smugly shake their heads about deplorables all the time.
The stories about incest, while of anecdotal interest, are simply not true in terms of a widespread problem. The incidence of consanguinity in West Virginia is very low at 0.2% — that means that practically no one in the state is married to a blood-related second cousins (or closer).
West Virginia’s consanguinity rates are indistinguishable from all the other states. In all of the US there are only 250,000 people estimated to be married to a blood-related second cousins.
If you want to see the real problem, all Muslim majority nations have extremely, alarming, deadly rates rates of consanguinity, which leads to low IQs and all sorts of diseases and deformities, not to much crazed behavior.
The consanguinity or inbreeding rate is 51-58% in Jordan, 54% in Kuwait, 58% in Saudi Arabia, 33% in Tunisia, 50% in the United Arab Emirates, 52% in Qatar, 50% in Oman and 68% in Alexandria, Egypt. Similar rates in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Bahrain, Syria, Turkey and Yemen.
Islam is literally a plague and curse on any population that adopts it.
why is drugs spelled with a star? That a dirty word now? LOL.
thank you!
I suppose it’s because of YT Monetization. If you use certain words, you don’t make money from the videos.
but the elites watch stuff like this and smugly shake their heads about deplorables all the time.
First family, too?
The main interview was with a reformed addict, three years clean. Can Hunter say as much? Could Brian Wilson for much of his adult life?
really. drugs? thats a pretty generic word.
Oh well.

No, but they hear those funny drawls, see the mullets, beehives and red MAGA hats, the trailer homes and think—we’re so much better! We have nice velvety voices, well coffered hair in the latest styles, and beautiful mansions and McMansions. We’re on TV and stage! We’re nothing like these ignorant, stupid, filthy hillbillies!
Yet they are, just as you said. Hunter is. And Joe definitely.
Yet even the redneck and hillbilly can know they’re poor and know they’re looked down upon by the Coastals, the Yankees and the well-heeled.
The elites think they are smart, sophisticated, erudite and immune to all that ails “common” folk.
And that’s what pisses me off. The superior way they think about us, as if we’re another species. It’s worse than racism, really.
I don’t like to see it fed.
Here’s a song to listen to while you think about it:
