Yes, oxymoron I know. But like many of you, I am stuck in :amerikkka:
So if you could pick anywhere to live in the States, where would it be? And why? Ideally where far left ideology is the norm.

Gotcha. I used to always be surprised when I heard of lost cause southerner type peeps out west, but I've come to accept that the US is on some crazy shit.
It quickly becomes Qanon territory 10 miles outside of any city. I lived about that far from one and the town was essentially a colony of four evangelical churches, dominated by rancher libertarians and cops from the city who lived there instead. I'd imagine that's the dynamic most places though, ours just have big game guns.
sigh. Fun times ahead.
there was a whole contingent of confederate sympathizers that moved west after the civil war, because they could not abide to live among the black people of the south without slavery. think about that: these people thought being around free black people was a bridge too far. such people had a profound impact on the western territories' development and the formation of their statehoods.
you should check out Oregon's early days and laws surrounding black people's rights.
Oregon was explicitly established as a white ethnostate, with all the violence that entails, and continues to be one of the whitest and most racist places in America.
Yeah, it's on my todo list. Currently reading the Counterrevolution of 1776 so I'm getting all sorts of 'fuck white people' thoughts in my head already.😅
