You need help!

Lots of people live in cities because THEY LIKE IT THERE.

Nobody was ever "forced" to live in a city by "industrialist".

The more your post, the more of your Marxist views are on display.

You really should read the true history, of what living in a preindustrial America was like. Believe me, it was NOT all beer and skittles and people, for the most part, were absolutely miserable! Their lives were lonely, hard, harsh, and uncomfortable. You wouldn't last a week!

And since you are so desirous of "avoiding the tyranny of multiculturalism and diversity mumbo-jumbo", I suggest that you ho join some crazy white supremacist group, where you'll fit right in.

But if you need job in order to survive and job is in the city you are "forced", aren you? I guess you can say that you are free not to move and to starve.

Have you seen it? I did see the life in preindustrial village in Poland when I was a child.

No electricity, no shoes (shoes were used only for the church - you put them on after long walk just before entering so they last long).

They ate from one bowl (the gave me separate plate because I was a guest from the city). All family slept in one room sharing two beds. They gave me one special for the guest in second room - I felt like a prince :)

There lives WERE NOT "lonely, hard, harsh, and uncomfortable". I would last there for much longer than "a week" even if they did not give me separate plate or bed.

Also Polish villages were poorer that the American ones even in preindustrial time because American settlers had better agricultural traditions (from Western Europe) and much more land.
