I live where I live so as to avoid the types of useless people that become a “graduate student who has taught at least 11 philosophy courses.”

You know what would really send this guy into a rage? Discovering for himself that most "rural people" would consider him an object of humor or pity within five minutes of him opening his mouth.

Bonus humiliation if he also realizes that the guy who delivers tractor fuel is considered to be much more useful than a grad student/instructor of philosophy... unless said grad student/instructor also played football for a big 10 team when he was an underclassman.

Berkeley and San Francisco need an earthquake 9.6 on the scale

This is a gift! Those who think this is the last time we will hear about what this schmuck said ought to think again. This will be played on local TV all over some parts of the nation.

"Jackson Kernion, a graduate student who has taught at least 11 philosophy courses at the university, posted that he "unironically embrace[s] the bashing of rural Americans.""

Irrevocable, living proof, years of college can't fix stupid.

"we should shame people who aren't pro-city."

How many Democrats have floated ideas for suburban planning, to shrink the cities and expand the suburbs?

Also: "...through 2012—the peak year of the “back to the city” movement—when outer suburbs grew more slowly than urban cores. Since then, the growth of urban cores has halved and exurban county growth has quadrupled."
cite
Looks like the majority of folks moving in the US are choosing suburbs and leaving cities. Hm.

What I hear from that Berkeley Clown...is Liberal Projection...

The Left is in anguish having allied their minds, their hearts and their lives with an unsustainable fraudulent socialist-communist ideology-the survival of which depends upon their ability to ram “glowbull warming” and “climate change” down all our collective throats-through which they can justify taking control of the minutiae of each of all our individual life decisions.

That they have come so close is alarming...

The left sure seems to like to call people “bad”. Funny how they claim to not be judgmental

When he gets mugged or stabbed in Berkeley or Oakland, it very likely wont be a hick rural dweller who does it.
It will be one of his beloved city residents.

I live in the mountains. Up where the air is crisp and clean. It’s good for the mind and soul to be able to see as far as the eye can see. It’s the American way. There are advantages living in cities as well. This guy should be dropped off in the middle of Nevada or any rural area and see how he’s treated by those bad country people. Most likely they will be happy to help you. Americans are good. This guy needs to take a long walk on a short pier.

Evidently Kernion believes that rural living Americans are purposely rejecting the more "efficient" city-dwelling life, and thus should bear the consequences of more expense.

What, exactly, is more "efficient" about city life? More efficient production of pollution, vermin, and filth? More efficient at producing gridlock traffic? More efficient at producing dysfunctional families and high criminality? More efficient at isolating people and preventing them from forming normal human connections? More efficient at separating people from nature? Personally, I can't think of a single reason to live in a city. It's small towns for me!

Though Kernion may have been intending to make economic arguments for his beliefs, his tweets had quickly devolved into ad hominem attacks on rural Americans.

It is a pipe dream of many leftists to force everyone to live in cities. I have seen "academic" papers extolling the [subjective] wonders of living in cities. They never rationally explain why they think everyone should live in cities. I think two things drive this: one, they like being close to high density entertainment and shopping, and two, they sense that cities are destructors of civilization and would thus force city living as a way to accelerate the Cloward-Piven strategy of forcing societal collapse.

After facing some backlash, Kernion did seem to apologize for his tone, which he says came across as "way crasser and meaner" than he believes himself to be.

No, he is that crass and mean. Maybe he should try living out in rural America until he develops a sense of normal life and empathy with nature.

Graduated from Harvard in 2012 and is apparently still working on his Masters thesis seven years later. WWII was over in about that same time frame and it was a heck of a lot of those rural hicks that this twerp despises that now permits him to be a perpetual student.

Perhaps this California horses ass should take a close look at the scum on San Fran and L.A. sidewalks in terms of bad life choices.

Ah, someone who never studied the real world. No math, no science, but a grad student with a degree that is imaginary. I love philosophy, but a credential like 11 courses isn’t impressive. I know grad students that taught a lot more engineering courses than that.
How did this even get it the paper?

"They, as a group, are bad people who have made bad life decisions"

He's a typical liberal: projecting his own hopeless life on those he hates.
