      There are many places that have not and will never go woke, but they are money makers for the main stream. A groups a friends and ride all over north america and find so many amazing things without all this garbage. Many people are weak and need others to validate them since the the begining of time. If you can see that you can avoid that. Best thing i ever did was live in the developing country to see what the happening to Americans. Its sad, but the downfall has to happen to correct the mental sickness.
