Let’s not bash the Rednecks, the modern ones may be stupid but the historical ones were damned well good. Rip away the propaganda and my kin folk would probably revert to the corpo fighting union boys of old.
are we talking ACAB monshiners, or old KKK? because they were often the same people. You mean the rednecks involved in Blair Mountain battle? those are cool
Blair mountain, I’m specifically referring to Appalachian and Ozark Scots-Irish descended folks. The term Redneck got a wee bit bastardized during the 20th century, mostly due to being slapped onto every poor rural American sub culture when before it’s glorification post WW2 most poor WASPs would’ve shanked you for the implication.
Also the reason I’m making this exception is because the very first Rednecks were an early labor movement back in Scotland, their descendants in the early to mid 1800s started to adopt the aesthetics and terminology.
