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.

    Why would you pick those particular pieces of media? There is a great deal of media depicting Texas. In my (generally suburban) experience, it’s way more like King of the Hill or Office Space than it’s like No Country for Old Men.
