I read a nice little article talking about population density's effect on politics. Basically, she said: if you're living in the middle of nowhere, even a well-run system is only getting an ambulance to you in 45 minutes, or a mechanic in 3 hours. If you sit around waiting for someone else to help you, you die. But if you live in a big city, it's now 5-10' for the ambulance and 30' for the mechanic. You can usually wait that long.
And of course, in that rural area if you get quicker help, it's not coming from the government or a corporation, it's coming from your neighbour.
So, rural areas will produce people who think of self-reliance and community. Urban areas will produce people who think of big government helping them - they don't even know their neighbours' names, usually, and certainly wouldn't rely on them for CPR or a jumpstart for their car.
Obviously the world isn't divided neatly into rural and urban, and people move from one to the other over the course of their lives, and so on and so forth, so it's not a perfect division. But it's something to think of.
With that in mind, perhaps the woke victim is simply reaching out for some community and help.
