The idea that white rural chuds completely control the food supply is laughable. The people who are actually growing and picking the food are the same ones chuds cry about “invading the US”.

"I'm hungry Papa, why can't we leave the city to try to find some food in the country side ?"

"The roads, son... they have done a number on them. So many potholes. We are doomed."

"But can't we just wal..."

"POTHOLES, son. It's hopeless. Time to eat the neighbours"

This guy sat in traffic during rush hour one time and decided he could do a Bigger Than 9-11 by spilling some dirt onto I-45

This is my favorite take. Literally living in looney tunes world. I feel like this would be a felix bit. You’d think for a people who have their entire lives revolve around cars, they’d have a better understanding of how roads work

Classic "behold my brilliant plan that doesn't even anticipate the first reaction from the other side"

i'm gonna keep banging this drum:

If your food primarily comes from a grocery store, you live in a city.

"But we drive two hours to the grocery store, we're rural!"

Still go to the grocery, though. Nearly two centuries of industrialization has uprooted the systems and relationships of rural life, replacing it with urbanized market relations and the same dependency to industrially processed foodstuffs. In the United States today, there is not so much an "urban/rural" divide as there is a sliding scale of high-to-(very, very)low urban density. Pockets of rural life still exist, but they are the dwindling exception. By and large, our food comes in square plastic packages and we all pump petroleum to get to it. Some of us just go through more petrol in the process.

As for this tweet, there's a decent chance Wes here has mistaken their suburban satellite for a genuinely remote (but still undeniably urbanized) small town.

Even if we accept his ludicrous proposition as fact, he's forgetting that many cities have literal airports in the city limits. I suppose you could "gravel off" the runways, but how are you gonna get into the city if you just walled it off, stupid??

Incidentally, remember the anti-vaxx trucker rally where a bunch of white rural chuds with big machinery talked like they were gonna run down DC, but just drove around the beltway for 6 hours getting middle fingers and then left?

Blocking the only way into Washington DC

Sorry, my pathfinding does not register non-road paths.

dude has never taken the scenic route a single time in his entire life

Coastal cities have infinite ways to leave if you have ships

Me when some random erects a 5 foot wall of gravel and wet concrete at the end of my block (I have literally never heard of a hammer)

lmao dude so rural he doesn't even know cities are so big they have multiple exits per mile.

isn’t this the plot to the tom hardy batman movie

my dude really thinks every town just has two roads with a four way stop

Gotta appreciate dude just consistently doubling down saying that redneck snipers will be shooting at anyone who goes to clear the roads.

Tbf, some ablebodied cagers can't even comprehend walking between buildings without getting in their car first.

Doing wonders for my thesis that anyone who starts a reply with "Ehhh," is about to say some dumb shit laden with unexamined ideology

8 Lane Freeway. VS. A Back Hoe! Who would win? You decide! Epic Redneck Battles of History!

The dude is kind of in the right. Most cities have a select few main "arteries" of trafic which people move in by - There'll be a few highways, some raillines and some rivers. A dedicated group could probably shut down most of those inlets, provided there's no one to stop them. You would still be able to drive to and fro the city though, just not in large convoys or in the direct passageway.
But like... Sieges were dificult in the middle ages, and cities haven't gotten smaller since then.

Half the city drives off road vehicles anyway, so uh, lol

This sounds like a really stupid concept when applied to California, which produces the most food in the US.

Sounds like a really stupid concept in general.

You're just going to siege a city while ignoring the other cities nearby?

Cities aren't isolated.

I like when people give examples where weather made it hard to get to work as of that's equivalent to being under siege.

Placing hot apple pies in key areas so drivers float from cars via smell floating, causing a 1,400 car wreck to shut down an interstate

In the Civil War, both the Union and the Confederacy went out into rural areas and easily crushed all resistance to the regimes in Washington and Richmond. It happened so quickly that barely any history book talks about it.

If a Civil War breaks out in the modern US the same shit would happen because the real conflict would be Texas and California fighting over the remaining drinking water.

people are dismissing this because of the source but it really wouldn't take too much to fuck up the infrastructure in most american cities for a long time

Don't be too harsh on them, there's such things as narrow alleyways and roads, plus they probably haven't left their gated community so I guess they assume this projects to daily life...
