Bellingham, WA
Bellingham is the shiz -
10/28/2021From what I’ve seen and heard, the very liberal political/ethical beliefs of Bellingham residents, as well as the grey rainy weather, are the main things a few people have complained about.
I absolutely love the liberal ethics of Bellingham. People with black skin matter, and unfortunately haven’t been treated like they do matter throughout our nation’s history. In Bellingham you can find Black Lives Matter signs on all the businesses and even the local church. The sign exists, along with the pride flag, in countless yards and store windows.
This means that the majority of people in Bellingham believe you, and everyone on Earth, have an equal right to existence and fair treatment. This is not an opposable idea. This is the core of what America is supposed to be about. And the fact that the news media owned by oil interests has convinced half of Americans that to think all people deserve respect, equality, and protection is anti-American and a part of some “socialist agenda” to destroy America is the very thing destroying America.
Bellingham is local. Local businesses, local descendants of hippies, local people who dress and walk and talk how they want, local farmers markets, locals who care deeply about wildlife and the environment.
And the grey winters help us go inward and touch base with our deepest selves, sort of like a spiritual cave we return to every year for a few months before spring comes along and we all open up and stretch joyfully into the greatest summer weather the US has to offer.
Bellingham is legit. But if you’re not so legit, you might not dig it.
Remember, a superiority goal is inspired by an inferiority complex. Only secure people can embrace universal equality.
