">your comment might be a kind of bigotry
The irony is so deep."
I was making generalizations about people that I think is true.
But I wasn't calling people names, or making them seem as though they are 'out of touch and stupid' because they are either from the city or a small town.
There are advantages and disadvantages of both - but city people are by far and away more 'individualist', in much the same way that 'Americans' are usually more individualist than say, Swedes. It's just a generalization, not bigotry.
I was referring to the post I originally replied to, which has since been edited. It called "city people" selfish, depressed and obsessed with money among other tired stereotypes.

City people are actually more selfish, depressed and obsessed with money.
It's not a stereotype, it's true.
There's a lot of data on urban/rural happiness and it all points in the same direction.
As for the other attributes, they are generally true.
Spend more than 3 months solid in the same small town. Then come back to the city - it will feel weird, antisocial, and a little crazy.
