Discover & Analyze r/The_Honkening

the name of this sub is a warning. the word "honky" comes from the ethic slur "hunky" or bohunk, a label applied to the young men in the coal fields of pennsylvania before the 1st world war. these young men did not emigrate from the austro-hungarian empire to buy land in america but rather to invest in small businesses and farms in their homeland. many of these men lived long enough to watch their empire die.......gone with the wind. common sense destroyed their world. don't let it get you!
