The secret to maintaining a strong community that resists encroachments from outside, you see, lies in the fact that truly good people are fundamentally unmarketable.

Their needs are small, and so their spaces stay humble, and those humble spaces fail to attract the sorts of hedonistic liberals that usher in the destruction of all that is good. Decent, modest people create a kind of invisible shield against the very "improvements" that would destroy their way of life, not through active resistance but through the simple practice of virtuous living.
One of the dark parts about modernity is the elimination of individual cultures. Places have less and less of their own accents, less and less of their own traditions, less and less of their own ways of life.

Yoopers have more of their own than most places, but even here the youngest people increasingly have increasingly standard accents.

If you were one to dismiss people telling you this was coming as "black-pilled" or whatever, remember this mistake and try to be more humble in the future. And get your thymos under better control.
