Bay Area sentiments

I live in a city of ~10k people about two hours east of Bentonville, AR. Interestingly, to my ear, they sound like something someone from Bentonville would say :)

I've lived in other, larger places, and it's interesting to me how much the differences between "us" and "them" are magnified to fit the scale of the discussion.

This is the critical problem. Hyperbole mixed with invented anecdotes whose falsehood is excused because they "illustrate an deeper truth"

But unfortunately facts presented in an objective way don't get clicks or compulsive repeat visits from the morally outraged.

I still haven't seen any evidence these are faked, or anyone reasonably assert they're unusual sentiments.
