00:00:00.000 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.
00:00:06.880 It takes you to front row views, voices lost in the music, and new shared memories.
00:00:13.900 And when the last song fades,
00:00:16.060 Welcome aboard, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
00:00:17.900 The KLM Royal Dutch Airlines crew is here to ensure your journey home hits all the right notes.
00:00:25.500 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.
00:00:30.000 Traditionally, one advantage of living in rural America was the ability to escape insufferable leftists.
00:00:36.980 The trade-offs were obvious, fewer jobs, fewer restaurants, less entertainment, and fewer institutions built for upward mobility.
00:00:44.360 But distance from liberal cultural centers meant the average community could preserve a sane, conservative, patriotic outlook,
00:00:52.760 the kind of place where normal people could still breathe without asking permission from their urban cultural commissars.
00:01:00.000 That escape has narrowed.
00:01:01.860 As media and universities became more radical, their disciples moved into rural America through
00:01:07.640 government-mandated institutions like schools and libraries.
00:01:11.660 Progressivism became harder to avoid no matter how far someone moved away from the city.
00:01:16.820 Thus, the Hicklib was born. 0.97
00:01:19.780 The Hicklib is usually a social outcast, a failson who needs a moral explanation for 0.98
00:01:25.060 why he hates the community he never fit into. 0.99
00:01:27.920 His resentment searches for a theory that will dignify his rage, and the progressive missionaries installed in his local institutions are happy to provide one. 0.70
00:01:38.180 Teachers tell the Hicklib his country is evil. 0.94
00:01:41.380 His family and neighbors are racist, sexist, backwards religious fanatics destroying the lives of minorities who don't even live in the town. 0.99
00:01:50.240 The white Christian culture that dominates rural America is primitive and responsible for the evils of the world. 0.99
00:01:56.240 The Hicklib's failures to fit in become proof of moral superiority. 1.00
00:02:01.920 So the Hicklib shows up at town council meetings in a Black Lives Matter shirt 0.96
00:02:06.700 to denounce minority oppression in a community with no actual black people. 0.91
00:02:11.280 That absence, naturally, becomes further proof of the town's intolerance. 0.70
00:02:15.560 He loudly organizes pride events attended by two other Hicklibs. 0.82
00:02:20.160 That little clique stages protests, distributes flyers, and imitates urban activist rituals. 0.92
00:02:26.240 By practicing the sacraments of their faith, they hope to summon the spirit of the age to judge their reactionary little town. 0.98
00:02:33.560 The Hicklib has become one of rural America's petty plagues, but as the value of college degrees collapse, a new breed is emerging, the Faillib. 0.96
00:02:43.400 The Faillib worked hard in high school and gave progressive teachers every approved answer. 0.99
00:02:49.520 She wrote her college entrance essay on the oppression of trans women of color in coal mining.
00:02:54.380 On campus, she became an activist.
00:02:57.360 She secured a degree in some woke humanities discipline
00:03:00.340 and earned straight A's by repeating everything her communist professor told her. 0.50
00:03:05.820 The path to success was laid out before the fail-lib was even born.
00:03:09.760 She followed it perfectly.
00:03:11.380 All that remained was for her to get that cushy corporate HR job 1.00
00:03:14.900 and take her rightful place making ordinary people miserable. 0.96
00:03:18.240 But then that plan failed. 0.97
00:03:20.820 The college degree that cost $100,000 was supposed to guarantee success.
00:03:26.540 The debt would be worth it because the credential would deliver a salary large enough for an apartment, a car, and a monthly student loan payment.
00:03:34.400 But the degree was not merely about financial security. It was also a symbol of status.
00:03:40.220 College graduates were supposed to rule over the simple plebs who never left home. 0.99
00:03:45.200 The degree would confer wealth, power, and privilege. 0.99
00:03:48.720 Instead, it turned out that too many people held degrees and too few jobs required them.
00:03:55.080 Corporations began cutting HR departments that wasted resources and reduced productivity. 0.53
00:04:00.920 Poor, oppressed immigrants somehow kept finding work while the fail-lib remained unemployed,
00:04:07.120 though a good progressive would never complain. 0.66
00:04:09.660 She would never explain how, but she was sure that the white Christian patriarchy
00:04:13.860 was responsible for this injustice in some way.
00:04:16.460 Earlier generations of college students had an insult for the ordinary residents of college towns, the townie.
00:04:25.340 The townie was contemptible because he wasn't merely passing through before collecting a credential and moving on to rule the world.
00:04:32.380 He belonged to the place the students planned to use and abandon.
00:04:37.040 The arrogance required to insult the permanent residents of a community while you're a temporary visitor is already staggering.
00:04:44.680 but the slur was very common. It revealed the sneering condescension of the would-be liberal
00:04:50.700 elite. Now the tables have turned. The college degree was once a ticket to the top. Now it's
00:04:57.400 an expensive lottery ticket with worsening odds. More graduates emerge from extended stays and
00:05:03.180 higher education with mountains of debt and few prospects. The fail-lib usually spends about a
00:05:10.220 year unemployed, out of college, desperately seeking even the entry-level positions that 0.97
00:05:15.380 her fancy degree was supposed to let her bypass. After burning through her savings and taking on
00:05:20.980 more debt, she accepts a management position at a local Starbucks or retail outlet. If she gets
00:05:26.600 really lucky, she might even be able to run a local Apple store. Yes, the Hicklib may be insufferable, 1.00
00:05:32.500 but the Faillib is worse. She was destined to leave the college town behind and move to a big 1.00
00:05:38.880 liberal city like New York. She was supposed to be the person ordering lattes and $30 burrito bowls 0.98
00:05:44.780 for important work lunches, not the person making them. Once, she mocked the parochial townies 1.00
00:05:51.000 trapped in their backward existence. Now, she's stuck among them with no escape.
00:05:57.260 The fail-lib isn't merely trapped in the backwater town. She is poor and low status. 0.98
00:06:03.400 A management job at Target might provide a decent life in a small town where prices remain low,
00:06:09.520 but the fail-lib has a mountain of student debt that she can never repay on a retail wage.
00:06:15.120 Plumbers, cops, firefighters, and mechanics, they all seem to make more money and enjoy more status in the community. 0.77
00:06:22.500 The fail-lib was promised luxury and elite influence. 1.00
00:06:25.980 Now she serves the people she despises while searching for any opportunity to make their lives worse. 1.00

00:06:58.820 obviously resents the fact that you're standing in the line in the first place she's not from here 1.00
00:07:04.820 she obviously came into town to go to the college or whatever she expected to be doing something 1.00
00:07:11.220 really important in chicago filling in a bunch of spreadsheets or whatever she was supposed to do 0.97
00:07:16.480 with her life telling everyone else about how great it is that she's stopping global warming
00:07:21.600 or some genocide somewhere and then she looks at you doing something that's totally normal in your
00:07:27.240 area or wearing something that would not be offensive in your area but she feels like she
00:07:32.660 has to get involved she has to talk down to you she has to communicate that disgust in some way
00:07:38.900 we shouldn't be thinking like this we shouldn't have those kind of evil thoughts in your head i 0.98
00:07:43.920 can tell that you're a chud from the middle of nowhere and i i should have been better than you
00:07:48.960 in every way shape or form but you know you drove in a nice truck and you've got a happy family and 0.68
00:07:54.240 everyone in the community ultimately respects you uh they all look at this person with contempt
00:07:58.980 and they just can't get it they they they don't want to get it they want to hate you they were
00:08:04.100 bred to hate you they always hated you and they were supposed to be in charge of you and now
00:08:08.520 they're scooping beans into a bowl that you're going to eat and they just hate every single
00:08:14.320 moment of their life they they want to attack you so badly but they can't and the seething rage that
00:08:21.200 they can barely restrain is just flowing through their eyes as they stare at the rice as it drops
00:08:27.000 into your burrito bowl it's really an untamed hatred and look artificial intelligence will
00:08:33.240 only intensify this problem the bureaucratic make work jobs progressive college graduates
00:08:38.280 once dominated are amongst the easiest to automate consolidate or even eliminate the
00:08:43.760 bitter entitlement of a psychology major with a hundred thousand dollars in debt helping you
00:08:48.660 find the cereal aisle, that's going to become more and more common. The fail-lib might make
00:08:54.300 less money than you. She may be less respected than you. She may even be despised by the townies 0.94
00:09:00.220 she once mocked. But in her heart, she knows she's superior, and nothing could ever convince her
00:09:07.280 otherwise. And she'll spit in your burrito bowl just to remind you who was supposed to be in charge. 0.68
