So some folks wanted a new silly struggle session that can demonstrate for all new arrivals and visitors the sort of silly shit we debate. So I ask you Hexbears: What is the "midwest"? (hexbear.net)

party-sicko calling anywhere in New England midwest is the sort of nuclear hot take I hoped to unearth with this post.

Calling any part of New York part of New England is sure to piss people off too.

I'm willing to advocate for Burlington to be an honorable Midwest city. It's on a controversial great lake, has lots of redneck attire, and the folks aren't as friendly as they claim. What's holding them back is the naval history, too much war during early American history to get that 'new territory' moniker.
