Why I love the UP (Upper Peninsula of Michigan), Reason 101: large, nice, well-behaved, nordic Caucasian families (Here my state senator, Ed McBroom, a conservative Republican to whom I have donated and spoken — a farmer, an overtly religious man, with his kids, his wife, and his sister-in-law, a widow, and her kids). Ed is Scottish and Swedish.
It feels completely different in such a monoethnic, northern European environment like the UP. You can lower your guard, breathe easier, leave your car and house unlocked, and the cops and staties wave to you. (I see LE only about once every three weeks in this 99.9% European-American town.) At least 15 times local people have given me a lift home from the grocery store, walking through the snow with shopping bags. In the UP, you can live, not just exist! 🙂

Christine Mud Beautiful to see so many white children.

Tee Pee Same thing in rural Maine.99% white. I can talk about the big J’s in public and while it may shock some, especially the SJW types people respect that it’s your right. Never have to lock doors or house and everyone knows the Cops by name. Everyone waves to each other as you drive down the road. The worst crime in these parts is usually a DUI. Drugs have infested the area but the courts go easy on those not dealing because they can in hopes of rehabilitation since there is so little crime. Everyone pretty much knows everyone and they genuinely care about their neighbors. People take in old folks who might get evicted to keep them off the streets. People volunteer to help the less fortunate all of the time and a general state of happiness, even if poor is the norm and this is overwhelmingly due to the lack of diversity. It’s here in rural Maine where I have decided to live out the rest of my life even if it means I am poor because the alternative in any major city with diversity is sheer hell.

John Dough I really enjoy traveling the UP. It’s a beautiful area and very affordable

Ken Simpson I might have to look in to this. Affordable?

John Dough Ken Simpson Yes land and housing is very reasonable. However, jobs are few and far between. I think it would be a good place to start a Blood & Soil Back to the land neighborhood! Farmland is good quality and inexpensive to rent or buy. Downside is a short growing season and drainage on some of the land depending on soil type and location.

…..White safety zone — Upper Peninsula of Michigan
Yes, in this heavily Finnish-Swedish-German area, we do have people who look like this here, platinum-blond hair with blue eyes. As I was walking to the grocery store one sunny day, a little girl like this (actually, maybe four years old), who was playing with her friends and her Golden Retriever, just came over, stretched out her arms, and gave me a great big hug. 🙂
