So I saw THIS Atlantic article linked on Bluesky and I found myself conflicted, nodding in agreement with almost everything the author wrote, yet simultaneously thinking he sounded exhausting and pretentious himself.
It made me think though, that while this absolutely jibes with everything I’ve thought after hearing from my acquaintances who have gone on them – and from extrapolating based on my own understanding of their personalities – I’ve never really asked “peers” what they think. Have you been? How was it? Why would you agree to be trapped inside a compacted hotel where you will literally die if you leave at the wrong time?
…also I didn’t think I could post the link in !news@lemmy.world
From what the guy saw, it looks like what I saw in some campground in Myrtle Beach, SC. Full of quite obese men, strangely a lot of veterans/fire fighters, wearing family/faith/gun/constitution t-shirt, with their 100k trucks and 100k fifthwheel (with obligatory NRA member sticker on it), with 12ft trump flags on their pole, talking loudly, etc. competing each other on the bigger RV, places they went to, etc.
But they talk to us, the plebs with pop-up campers, they are often quite nice, just don’t talk politics/abortion/religion with them :)
