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.
Absolutely not lol. Firstly, you’re assuming that Texas, a state literally larger than France, has one, singular culture. Secondly, just no. Listen, Texas has a lot of problems. There are a lot of assholes in Texas. However, being unable to trust anyone is not one of those problems.
Hell or High Water is a pretty accurate depiction of how shittily our government treats our vets I’d say though. The small town struggles of everything that isn’t owned by 3 corporations closing is pretty realistic too. Just needed more meth/heroin to be authentic.
