The rural/urban divide is almost entirely manufactured
Looking at the downvotes one side certainty is “winning”
but one group sure seems to spend a great deal of their time trying to fix the fundemental systemic inequalities forced onto the other group.
There’s the self idolizing part. If rural areas get thought of at all by urbanites it’s usually only to to think what land they can buy. The “fundamental systemic inequalities” that would help us poor unintelligent rubes are things like hospitals and public transit.

Uh, yeah, I know. Everyone knows, in fact. Thats why healthcare reform and expansions to public transit are two of the absolute cornerstones of liberal policy. You’re really all about this victim mindset but it’s clear you’ve just been convinced that’s the rational conclusion, you haven’t arrived at that conclusion by weighing up the evidence or anything.
I’d argue that education funding and expansion of social services are two more super critical things that have been yanked out from under rural communities, but it’s not like it’s literally my job to answer questions like “how can we improve food security for underserved communities” or “how specifically is rural healthcare access inadequate” or anything.
But lucky for you, nothing you’re saying here really matters! We’re going to keep trying to address the systemic problems you’ve been saddled with no matter how bitter and blind to your own behavior you are! Rejoice, rural person! Venerate urbanism! Celebrate the boons we give you!

Pretty funny you could write all that thinking it somehow proves that you are not a self idolizing asshole.
(Well done, you got the joke!)
Your satire is a little too on the nose.
It’s really not.
