People like to romanticize certain forms of poverty. Ive seen how the poorest rural communities live in Romania. The communists never managed to fully address rural poverty and people still live in dirt shacks in some places, but they undertook this as an effort because no one wants to choose to live in deplorable conditions like that. Theres certainly something to be said about how you approach addressing alleviating these communities out of that poverty, but some people will really think the state doing this is a form of cultural genocide and its wild how out of touch they can be with reality.
