This region has predicted or caused every major change in American political culture and history
It's the origin of and the only remaining bastion of the American work ethic and sense of civic engagement and duty
It's literally the only American region where education is a greater status symbol than wealth and acculturation is more important than superficial pleasures
So why are New Englanders such insufferable assholes? I just want them to be nice to me. I really like the history and the culture here, but the social life seems miserable
My ancestors lived in mass for 200 years before 1950
The answer is that Mass is a beautiful place but the people are misguided
Noah Barnes
Were pretty unattached to them here in SoCal. Don't really think about them at all, never met someone from there.
Zachary Hall
>So why are New Englanders such insufferable assholes? id say a feeling of superiority tied to their relevance and identity, most of which stemming from your previously mentioned comments about them
Brody Collins
They're also the cause of the SJW movement, which is descended from the Puritans due to the whole Calvinist thing.
In any case Southern New England is probably the most developed region on Earth outside of Europe, but Northern New England is more comfy ngl.
Angel Ramirez
Yeah but SoCal is a provincial shit hole
You're some of the dumbest people with one of the worst K-12 systems in America
NorCal is where it's at
Evan Stewart
desu the irish probably resulted in that by corrupting our bloodline
Ryder Reed
>You're some of the dumbest people with one of the worst K-12 systems in America
>tfw when went to highschool in the top 5 of country
>NorCal is where it's at
You've obviously never met someone from there.
Ryan Taylor
Also true, but Abolitionism and Prohibition were both prevalent in the area before the flooding of the Irish.
Juan Thomas
*shits on new england*
you're welcome
Ian Young
Muh ancestors were both english and irish
Also both of those were about making a better man
Hunter Kelly
>irrelevant gookistan plus yankees
Fuck off junioer
Nathan Sanchez
Exactly, while the Southern Plantation owners, descended from English Cavaliers, were against both of them. Anti-evil and anti-fun often go hand in hand in American history.
Blake Hill
It's true that New England is pretty much the source of the global social justice movement, and I agree with your explanation, but SJWs in New England are tempered by the fact that drawing too much attention to yourself and making excuses for your shortcomings is frowned upon there. It's once the idea leaves New England that it becomes corrupted by American vanity, narcissism and identity politics. A sensible Massachusetts person might suggest, say, allowing transgender people to use whatever bathroom they want, but by the time the idea's reached California, they're calling for forced gender reassignment surgery on newborn babies. They just have no sense of moderation or degree and take everything to the extreme, like children
Tyler Jenkins
>Cascadia >irrelevant New England doesn't even exist outside of Boston.
Connor Campbell
>>tfw when went to highschool in the top 5 of country
and yet still don't understand the difference between statistical versus anecdotal data
Is the the best that New England's great education system can produce?
Aiden Richardson
Lol, you don't even know what that term means
Luke Garcia
this thread is very insightful
Julian Sullivan
Just some interregional banter
Thomas Richardson
we're assholes because the weather's shit and we've got things to do
talking to strangers is a complete waste of time
Jayden Scott
Lol it's New England that's provincial.
Thomas Perry
>It's literally the only American region where education is a greater status symbol than wealth lol you're fucking delusional
Logan Perry
This
We're very busy
Anthony Ramirez
I'm afraid you don't seem to quite understand the meaning of that word, friend
Thomas Adams
Threadly reminder
Ethan Butler
is the everyone hates new england thing just one big breakdown of communication is it chock full of genuine assholes
William Peterson
>brackets of .1 Fuck that
Cameron Torres
A bit of both. Southies are cancer, but Yankees are more reserved than the whole Southern Hospitality thing. Also quite a lot of it is jealousy.
John Jones
It's mostly a meme. People from Massachusetts tend to be rude and sanctimonious cunts however.
Kayden Thompson
I'd say there is some truth to it. A lot of people there can are "old families" who have been in America since the beginning and are wealthy as well as some of the most prestigious universities.
That shit often goes to their head.
Oliver Foster
This is an earlier map I made tbqh.
Lincoln Stewart
No, it's you. New England is very insular and has a history of rejecting foreign influences and pushing aside people and cultures that don't fit in like Mormons for instance. Southern California and the rest of the west is the opposite. It's a sponge. In American culture, it's the west that is lionized as a place where people can reinvent themselves and pursue their dreams.
Liam Jackson
Use smaller intervals man, A yellow province could be on the same level as Montenegro or Iceland.
Jaxon Roberts
north is best
NE is a colonial region, they spread out
I'm the grandchild of a colonist- I love my motherstate but the cunts who live there are worthlessly stupid
Carter Gonzalez
Here's a newer one I made. How are the intervals there?
Isaac Brooks
The west is garbage, new england is classic america
Nathaniel Long
New Englanders are community and humanity minded
Westerners are inward and individual minded
Landon Reyes
Much better. Admittedly .5 is still large, but it is precise enough to grant a decent understanding at a glance.
Robert Moore
Indeed, I'm thinking it's neither too broad nor too narrow.
Adrian Carter
educated guess - this shitstorm is perpetuated by new yorkers, who everyone also hates
Adrian Fisher
Partially this as well, though much of it butthurt Dixiefags who don't realize that the Civil War was 150 years ago.
Jack Carter
I live in VA and am a yankee
Luke James
Virginia and Maryland seem to be closer to New England now than Dixie.
Ironically West Virginia seems like more of a hick shithole than Virginia even though they were Union.
Isaac Rivera
Maryland was always out there
Daniel Carter
Massachusetts native here
it's pretty much the greatest place on earth
Eli Rivera
I just came.
Based pre-automobile architecture.
Christian Bailey
Damn yankees. Still doesn't hold a candle to New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah etc..
Ryder Torres
except that Boston has more history and importance to American identity than all three of those cities combined!
Juan Smith
Architecture yeah I agree, but on history alone, the Man's got a point Dixiebro!
Sebastian Gonzalez
The two main groups who infest San Diego County are people from some place called Boston - they tend to be ugly and greasy, especially the women - and shit bag military Rednecks from the south. Any remotely attractive Yankee women move to LA or NYC, poor SD gets the abjects, bit the lowest Yankee is better than Bubba the Marine from Arkansas.
Camden Scott
>brandeis
nice fucking try.
James Peterson
California does have a special skill that attracts the shittiest people.
Landon Moore
san francisco is a city that smells like piss in an otherwise one of the most beautiful urban areas in america.
warm weather = everybody comes. here the cold keep most people out.
James Wilson
>san francisco is a city that smells like piss in an otherwise one of the most beautiful urban areas in america. I agree. SF is gorgeous with god-tier climate, but reeks and is filthy.
Lel. Canada's cool, but who really goes to the prairies?
Ryder Barnes
i do
Wyatt Russell
nature is cool but holy fuck taking a boat in the bay area is like the most beautiful thing to do.
we get like 0 sunlight in the winter and our summers are way too humid imo.
Hunter Green
>Banff Fair enough. Alberta is 50-50. I meant Manitoba, Saskatchewan.
Did that myself. Summertime is perfection on the water.
Christian Bailey
>In any case Southern New England is probably the most developed region on Earth outside of Europe ITT: retards that think New York is part of New England
Actual new england is a shithole full of trailer trash and faggots directly responsible for the country's decline
Caleb Campbell
>literally the same street posted every time kill yourselves. You've never actually lived in Boston, Massivejewshits. It's shit. Don't let the southies on here try to convince you that they're Harvard grads
Landon Parker
It's at least partially true. Universities tend to generate a well educated local population, as many of them stay around.
Sebastian Watson
Wealth and deacculturation are almost perfectly correlated with unhappiness. Although they're constantly trumpeted by our media as the "American Dream," they're as close to the opposite as you can find.
People love you when they love their own lives. They love their own lives when they have lives instead of huge amounts of money and fast food joints to live in.
