I’ve never been that far to the south but lately I’ve been reading and watching those novels and movies.
The prevalent idea is: in this world (Texas?) you are alone, nobody gives a cr*p about you, do not trust anyone because they’ll take advantage of you, ridicule and mock you. The world (or maybe only Texas?) is an inhospitable, inhuman, Darwinist place.
I was born in Texas and spent my first 35 years there. It’s not like the movies, because life isn’t like the movies. I was completely miserable and honestly regret being born due to my life in Texas. Very little help from the government, my schooling was inadequate, and I was exploited by employers multiple times without repercussions. Bad places do make for good people so my dearest friends looked out for me and I them. I’m very glad I moved up North to the Eastern seaboard where there is infrastructure and the average person is a bit less on edge.
I’ve heard they give you a free gun and a concealed carry permit when you’re born. Does that get added to your hospital bill or is that a government progam?
The government doesn’t just give you things in texas.
So they give it to you and once you turn 18 they sue you for theft?
