UC Berkeley instructor calls rural Americans 'bad people' who deserve 'uncomfortable' lives

A UC Berkeley graduate student and instructor took to Twitter to shame "rural Americans" and those who aren't "pro-city."

Jackson Kernion, who has reportedly taught at least 11 philosophy courses at the California university, made the comments last Wednesday.


"I unironically embrace the bashing of rural Americans," Kernion wrote in a now-deleted tweet. "They, as a group, are bad people who have made bad life decisions...and we should shame people who aren't pro-city."

Kernion started going after rural citizens, saying they should have higher health care, pay more in taxes and be forced to live an "uncomfortable" life for rejecting "efficient" city life, Campus Reform reported.

LIberals are unhinged

 

Given a choice, I would rather live in the hills of Kentucky or West Virginia any day than in the dregs of Berkeley or San Francisco.

 

Bezerkeley. San Francisco is the Gary, Indiana, of the left coast.

 

No, they are worse. I would get banned if I called them what they are.

 

Yep, I love my backwoods.

 

Yep, that is for sure, you need your brain balanced, a little re-education then you will be only a little bad. May still be deplorable, have to check someone on that. :)

 

Democrats no longer hide their disdain for people not like them.

 

It doesn't surprise me that there is no uproar or fall out over remarks like this. Now if a conservative political leader made simular remarks substituting inner city minorities for rural Americans.......

 

From the historic famines in the Soviet Union and Mao's China, til now, communists show that they still don't understand where food comes from.
