There are some really messed up ideas and people in Idaho, but they tend to be solved by people countering them. I've seen a family try to marry a 12 year old to a 30 year old, and guns stopped the wedding.
I'm not disagreeing. However, the red side is very vocal, and willing to show up to protest into the blue areas. They tend to also arrive with guns, which means the blue areas have to treat them politely. I've seen a lot of scare mongering against it in Idaho blue side media.
I used to be an edgelord atheist, not enough to fucking larp as a satanist or anything, but enough to have gotten an ironic "Live Evil" tattoo that I'd get rid of if I had the money to. And while I still don't believe in souls or an afterlife or deities or anything, I agree that all this cheeky nihilism is having a compounding effect on our culture and the people running these things aren't being upfront in what they really believe. Because even though I don't believe in the devil, I absolutley believe that devil worshipers exist, and whether or not the devil is real, their actions have real consequences.
Pride is just boring at this point. It's been almost 30 years since Matthew Shepherd was killed. A majority of Republicans support legal gay marriage today. What will it take for gay people to just call it a win and stop making a big deal out of it?
The Matthew Shepard story is just an earlier example of the government-media complex distorting a horrifying event to serve their own political and social agenda. It's just like what we saw more recently with the incidents that sparked the BLM protests of 2020.
They'll stop saying they're oppressed once society stops giving them power over their "oppressors" because they claim they're oppressed. The left has very successfully weaponized victimhood, so until that stops being true, don't expect any victimized group to ever admit they aren't victims, because that equates to giving up their power. At this point "being oppressed" is a fundamental part of their identity.
Or, to put it another way: Women make up about 2 out of every 3 college graduates, and more every year, yet nearly all gender-specific scholarships are for women. There's no point at which they'll say it's enough. It's not about equality for women, and it's not about equality for gays either, it's about power and fucking over straight white men, and it will never ever stop.
A majority of "Republican" Politicians support sodomite marriage. If you forcibly polled Republican voters (Even the newer ones who left the DNC because it got too crazy), you would likely find out that support for LGBTQWERTY is rapidly dropping, just as it is among Gen Z.
This is what happens when atheists organize and embrace the "were so smrt", fart huffing superiority bullshit. You are not above anyone else, you are not better than them. This is how the religious lose the plot, humanity, no matter what they do, is not different.
That is a gatekeeping, incel promotion shill, and I know how that sounds but check the acct. Shouldn't be conflated with any consensus among the users here.
Yeah that darn u/You_Are_Based, using his mighty projection powers to force you to type gay incel things and gatekeep white people 24/7/365... darn him to heck!
If you call me a stormcuck I WILL CRY so just don't even!!
In all seriousness, I'd say you need a history book on, oh, any civilization, ever. But that would be to incorrectly assume that your problem is ignorance and not an agenda of keeping uppity white sex-havers in check.
Even if that's all they are, it still serves Satan.
That attitude produces nothing of value, and subverts culture. It normalizes evil by making it seem ironic until, suddenly, it isn't. Kind of like how feminists used to ironically say "kill all men" and now they aren't really kidding.
Okay so in the process of gatekeeping a white guy on the satanic temple, he responds to your argument by leaving it unaddressed and providing a divisive statement about women lol
right after telling me I'm projecting for saying he does that, in the same thread a post down :P
The Satanic Temple is just a political grift, started a decade ago. LeVayan Satanism might have been part of the Atheist hubris that common man doesn't gravitate towards religion, but they're at least largely separate from this currentYear opportunism.
Satan doesn't exist, but that doesn't mean that a bunch of people who rally around that fictional character to undermine the foundations of Western civilisation and advance causes like grooming and abortion aren't a problem.
It's about the idea of worshiping one's own sense of pleasure, basically. Promoting the things that damn your soul, which all have something in common in bringing us closer to animals.
I disagree with you regarding Satan's existence, but otherwise you're absolutely right.
Let's suppose that Satan is merely the personification of that which Western civilization finds morally detestable. It is still alarming that growing numbers of people are rallying around that figure. This is different from an edgy teenager saying "Hail Satan," or a band searching for a gimic. The Satanic Temple is an influential group that is devoted to pushing social and political change against broad traditional Christian values.
In Idaho? The place that stopped rioters by showing up fully armed? The place that did the same for neo Nazi parades? That place?
Yeah, I think the satanic temple should regroup.
so hang on, are they against or for pedophiles?

Second highest Mormon population after Utah.
Just sayin
Idaho has some very blue spots across the state.
I'm not disagreeing. However, the red side is very vocal, and willing to show up to protest into the blue areas. They tend to also arrive with guns, which means the blue areas have to treat them politely. I've seen a lot of scare mongering against it in Idaho blue side media.
Coeur d'Alene is the Berkeley of Idaho.
Are there any metro left wing cities in Idaho? I know most of it is a solid red.
I expect Boise is a shithole like the rest of the large-ish cities with large-ish universities.
Boise is the most well known. There have been tons of Californians who have moved into it.

Matthew Shepard wasn't even killed for being gay. He was killed by his associates in a meth deal gone wrong.

"Family Friendly" public fetish displays.
Wasnt there a literal troon summer camp in that state too?

That's what they want you to think.
Even if members of the Satanic Temple think that they are to just LARPing to "own the Christians," they are still supporting the cause of Satan.
That's Satan's power move; to convince you that you're serving him of your own free will, and that he doesn't even exist.
Or that he doesnt exist.
Demons are most free to act when no one remembers theyre there.
Seriously, that excuse reminds me of this meme about the Bohemian Grove.

Anyone that pushes sexual degeneracy to children, regardless of relevancy, deserves free helicopter rides.
Yeah but, obviously under the control of Satan

Satan definitely exists, and you cited the exact reasons as to why he's involved with these degenerates (though they dont know it).
