We are taught that urbanization, and industrialization was driven by the people themselves.
Eleven million people migrated from rural to urban areas between 1870 and 1920, and a majority of the twenty-five million immigrants who came to the United States in these same years moved into the nation’s cities. By 1920, more Americans lived in cities than in rural areas for the first time in US history.
Today most Americans live in cities or suburbs, but from colonial times into the early twentieth century a majority of Americans lived in the countryside and worked on farms. Only two percent of Americans live on farms or ranches today, but in 1790 ninety percent of the population did. What caused this shift?
We were told that the people wanted this. They call it “industrial revolution” and say it’s all part of the natural human evolution, but I’m not so sure it’s true.
I bet if we do thorough research, we will uncover that industrial revolution wasn’t driven by the people, but was a combination of both being forced on the people, and people being brainwashed to accept it believing it was a good thing, believing it was humanity making progress and moving forward.
From the little bits and pieces of info I found so far, it appears as though not all people wanted industrial revolution to happen. The government used different tactics to run the people off of their family farms, and herd them into the urban cities.
One of the ways they achieved this was by making it extremely difficult, or in some cases even impossible for the people to remain in the village/country working their family farms, and living a self-sufficient life, which was a lifestyle of their ancestors going back many generations.
The land which freely belonged to the people for many generations was suddenly seized by the ruling power, and the common people were forced to pay high taxes that they could not afford to pay, and so they ended up losing their land and moving to the city looking for work.
This was just one of the many methods the government used to bring about industrial revolution, and fill up urban cities with people.
Wars took all of the able bodied, younger men from the villages, leaving their old and frail fathers to work the farms. The old men were unable to work the land and keep up with the farms, and pay their taxes, and so the farms were abandoned, and remaining family members had to leave to the city looking for work.
Another successful method to drive people out of villages and into the cities was to make the urban city life sound alluring, very modern, interesting, full of opportunities, whilst the country life was deliberate made to look boring, backwards and dull, and completely without opportunity.
In reality I believe we were not told the truth about industrial revolution, and why so many people willingly left the country life to move to the urban cities. With so much poverty, hunger, child labor that we learn took place in urban cities for centuries, I don’t understand why people would willingly leave their family farms where they can be self-sufficient, and always have plenty of food and a roof over their head, and go move to urban cities, where there’s so much struggle starvation and poverty.
Country people are deliberately presented as backwards, ignorant, uneducated, when in reality they are intelligent, and highly skilled. An urban city citizen will not last more than few days without the system

Typically in this society rural people have been looked down on. It's not surprising socially we've been programmed to aspire to be anything but rural people. Hillbillies, rednecks, hicks, whatever you wanna call them. People with chickens and goats and a garden, who work on their own cars and their homes, help their neighbors when they need it, do odd jobs when they can. Country bumbkins, woodsmen, yokels.. Call them what you want, but they will be the ones who come to the rescue.. If more people understood the value of just being down home folk people they'd realize we wouldn't have been able to be put in this mess.

One of the most ignored mythologies of Europe is that of the Basque. This is a shame because it is a very interesting and still very earthy faith. Including Mari a mother goddess with goats and in control of the fire bull messenger, Aatxe. While there is also her consort the Lighting Dragon Sugaar, the storm spirit Odei, the trickster Txiki, the craftsman wild man Basajaun, the duck footed water spirits of the Lamia, Akerbeltz the black goat god of magic and fertility, as well as Janicot a satyr like deity that some claim to be the fusion of Akerbeltz and Basajaun, and much much more. All of this intertwined still with the folk culture and customs of the people of the Basque nation. Each part of Europe and beyond had its own unique set of myths from Iberia to Slavia, from Sardinia to Iceland. Look close and you'll see the beauty of each groups myths. From the Orkney Isles to Arcadia, each has a unique feel and mythos. Look closely to your ancestry, and you'll find something to stir your soul.-TLK
