Bavaria

Probably only because of my closeness to it probably blinded me too much to see a lot of the decent people that probably exists, but where I grew up. A small coastal town in Telemark, Norway. They are just so goddarn closeminded, unapologetic assholes, casually sexist, ignorant tribal grouped, backtalking rednecks of a people. And I thought that was the uncomfortable norm until I moved just a bit out from there.

I'm just glad they aren't very religious on top of that or they would have been completely insufferable. On the other hand, I haven't seen them racist, ableist, nor lazy. So there are probably worse places in Norway.

The capital, everything is so expensive there..

New Zealand has a 'Shit town of the year' election and honestly it's a gamble each year because all the towns are shit.

The capital area. Too many people.

Araucanía (Chile 🇨🇱), does not matter your skin colour, language or religion, nobody is safe there.

Special mentions:

• Talca, every single bad thing that happens in my country happens there first (COVID, floodings, forest fires, etc). It's a common joke among chileans that we should just "Blow-up Talca" or that "Talca doesn't exist".

• Estación Central (Santiago), you take your bus or train as soon as possible and you get the hell out of there, because the odds of you getting robbed (or even worse, stabbed 🔪) by staying too long are very far from 0. Do not ever go near that place at night time. 🌃🚫

'Red' states. Texas, Florida, etc.

Germany: Probably my old hometown of Chemnitz

Shitting on the federal state it's in (Saxony) is very common among other Germans, especially from former West-Germany. I dont think it's that bad here tbh.

Except for Chemnitz. What a depressing grey blob of a city. Historically, it was fairly important, Germanys first locally built steam engine came from there and it was the workbench of Saxony, back when Saxony was an industrial and economic center.

However, this is no more. Nowadays, after having been bombed to the ground and mismanaged to hell by the Soviets, Chemnitz is just an all around ugly and dirty city. Pretty much no noteworthy historical landmarks, fairly depressed people all around, a deep split in the population between political extremes and little perspective for the future.

Not that I dont understand how the situation came to be, but damn is it one ugly city.

Scotland. Just insert the Groundskeeper Willie meme here and that should cover it.

Nice enough place but people can be so adversirial within in the same city, region or coast depending on the issue at hand. Some really annoying polarising opinions with seemingly no room for negotiation?

Maybe it's an older generation and rattling their cages though? Here's hoping.

Texas or Florida

London Metro definitely, utter shithole. It's a moneysuck to the extent that I don't know how the average bloke can survive. Run by gigarich fuckronauts, sold off to foreign criminals; one big £12-a-pint, can't fucking move for people, money laundering operation.

Madrid. In my opinion, they see themselves as the coolest, the only who matter in Spain, while the rest of us are merely peasants... assuming we exist.
