The State Hate Map

I try not to post too many of these maps as they are often gratuitously nasty and extremely unscientific. However, in the spirit of fun here is every state's least favorite state by Matt Shirley.

While your Instagram following is clearly not a statistically approved sample, it does seem to accurately reflect my experiences in many of these states. I very familiar with the anti-Massachusetts thing in New England and the PA-NY hatred of New Jersey. I also have some personal experience with the Missouri-Kansas and Ohio-Michigan animosities. I've even experienced South Carolinians hating on Ohio. 

As a "helpful" device, Reddit user u/ayitasaurus made an arrow version. It gets a little hard to read on the east coast (a different color arrow would help) but you can certainly see all the silly state rivalries. Some interesting trends include the linear hate chain from Minnesota to Tennessee and Florida hating itself.
