A look into a "holler." The Appalachian demographic is 88% white. A gigantic, sprawling ghetto that composes a footprint of about 13ish states. The poverty rate averages out to approx 23% when excluding cities and metro areas that technically fall within those lines. Yet, somehow… pic.twitter.com/al9ukOaY9v

Not going to be a popular reply.
Appalachia will survive?
While I love my battered copy of the Foxfire series…
Do they mine their own iron for weapons and tools?
Dig and process the sulfur for the black powder? Scavenge saltpeter from straw soaked urine like the Confederation did? Charcoals easy enough. I’ve hunted with homemade black powder and flintlock.
Make primers, dig and process lead for those new style rifles?
Does Dupont supply them with reloading powder?
When the semi’s stop running the GOOD thing is the DRUGS that corrupt that area will stop. The Bad thing is starvation will occur.
Part of my family tree LEFT Appalachia during the Great Depression, and I still have remote family there I meet occasionally.
If you’re going to establish a White Colony, you’re going to have to keep out drugs, keep enough population that relatives don’t breed each other (just the facts as I KNOW the genetic diseases of Appalachia) AND have INTERNAL Industry to trade-sell to others for the MANY Modern Products seen in that Video.
You know, gasoline, oil and filters, electricity, medicines, Dupont powder and primers and food beyond dirt farming.
Grid down some of Appalachia WILL Survive, a lot will die off. I’m not sure I’d want to become a dirt farmer who knows a single bad spring will be starvation.
The hardships and lack of materiel apply to all areas. People living under hardship now will have a better chance to survive.
I didn’t say Appalachia will not have survivors.
I said Appalachia will have serious losses when the grid and all the modern supplies (including food) shipped into Appalachia stops.
SNIP 2020 Appalachia, Virginia Population
1.43K
As it seems difficult to get Appalachian Population in 1930’s when grid was rare and food was mostly grown NEARBY or in your backyard in Appalachian here is the TOTAL POPULATION of Virgina:
1930 U.S. Census Population for Virginia
The 1930 U.S. Census recorded 2,421,851 people living in Virginia This figure includes all residents across the state’s counties and incorporated places as of April 1, 1930.
So, Appalachia and the rest of Virgina.
Maybe Grok can find Virgina Appalachian census data?
Looks like a MASSIVE DIE OFF is likely.
Folks they are NOT living Firefox today. That’s Manufactured Trailers in that video not hand hewed log cabins.
That’s’ electric heat or tanked propane keeping them alive in winter, NOT Wood Heat.
That’s folks using ELECTRIC Well Pumps NOT a Hand pump to get safe water.
That’s folks that DON’T GROW 90% of their foods within a short distance from their homes like they did in the 30’s.
Prepared folks with trusted family and trusted friends will do better (but not guaranteed) in a grid down, economic chaos event.
I hope that drugs haven’t damaged the trusted family support there.
That’s why it’s always good to have can goods and freeze dried meats, veggies, pasta and fruits to survive for a few years and to help your neighbors out who have little.
I agree David. Appalachian people are strong people and also very patriotic.
…… and also very creative!
People living under hardship now will have a better chance to survive.
I would say that’s correct but only if and this is a big if they aren’t relying on the government or charity to cover their basic needs and if they aren’t on any sort of substances legal and/or not…
See Hurricane Helene rebuilding in our area.
A good reason to be proud David.
However, I could point out many places in America where neighbors help neighbors dig out of tornados, Nor’easters, Derechos and massive fires.
Neighbors, like my MAG with an ethnic mix of retired military.
I call it being an Amer I CAN.
Maybe I see it more than you as I’m EMS and we seem always to be in the “bad situations” and so get involved in them and see their rebuilding OFTEN without Gov.com “Help”.
It’s not an 88% white thing, friend. It’s a well brought up American thing. Why did I bring up 88% because it seemed to be important in the “Holler” Video.
I did not say this area is singular for this country. I am not a proud man as I follow the Bible and its warnings on pride. I did not see any hidden meaning for stating a fact concerning the racial percentage. I see a resilient people who understand the government is evil.
We always have. And we always will.
NE Appalachia here.
This is why the democrat governors never visit this part of the state because they hate these folks and these dirtbags in the exectutive branch in North Carolina are all child killers, murderers, Pro transgenderism, queers, faggots, sodomites and every other vile wicked thing these filthy dreamers come up with. you folks don’t need nor want these dirt bag politicians in your area and that’s why they stay out of there. We must never ever forget what Cooper and Stein and his demon-rat whores did to this part of the state over two years ago.
There’s a lot of reasons I moved to where I moved….
