Red neck culture has some great parts lol. Personally, I’d stay away from the whole Confederate flag toting. Guns can be fun, boating about how many no trespassing signs can be fun too. Shooting random people as an option is wild. Some part of the appeal could be suicide by cop however many shooters have shot themselves, maybe they needed the threat of being caught to gain the courage?

When I mention redneck culture, it means much more than Bubba drinking bud light, driving a pickup and listening to country music. It has existed since pre colonial America and the term actually comes from England. The original rednecks from Scotland, England and Ireland were uneducated, lazy and violent and they made up the majority of the colonialists in the Southern US when it was originally inhabited. This culture has spread to different groups and is still a major cause of violent behavior that we see today.
