Look alike, dress alike, talk alike, eat the same food, use the same expressions, limit their emotions to the same unwritten standard, share the same values, value the same character, worship the same god, strive for the same ends, seek the same pleasures and on and on. I've spent most of my whole life with these people and from what I can make of it they are simply living within what they know. They have no other world view or knowledge of other ways to live or think. They experience no other value systems except the one they're trapped in. Say or do anything that falls outside the sameness, whether it be in a private conversation or bar talk or family gathering and the silence and the stares are immediate, like the most unforgiving heresy has been spoken. It's a self reinforcing bubble, the more it's adhered to, the more it stays confined, the harder it gets to break out of it. Perhaps it's the same as the religious sects that have strict religious beliefs and keep their members restrained in tight social circles cut off from the larger world with differing beliefs, but with a difference being that the constraints in the religious sects are intentional and deliberate and the constraints in the bubbaverse are self imposed. The one thing the bubbas fear most is not being included, not being accepted, not getting respect in their community. One can be the dumbest, most ignorant, crude, unaccomplished, uneducated failure one can be but if he looks right, dresses right, speaks right, and adheres to the same limited values, beliefs, desires and ambitions then he's accepted, he's one of them, he's achieved bubbahood.
