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.

    Blood Meridian is maybe not the best novel to base your opinion of a state on.

    Much like anywhere else there’s wonderful folks interspersed with absolute shitters.

      I’d rather be on the Ukrainian front than any place accurately represented by Blood Meridian.
