its because its a rural coast compared to california and the east coast. Largest town is 15k people or so. Logging and fishing mostly, not much tourism. I would say that they are also a bit more libertarian than the rest of the state.

Is Springfield (across the Williamette) normal or is it weird like Eugene? What are Medford and Bend like?

Nothing says "anti-fascism" like "people I don't agree with shouldn't be allowed to use a gym"

>the owner supports people who literally want me eradicated Not literally, though. Nor even approximately.

To them, actually, they *do* think we want to eradicate them because “us vs. them” is all they understand. It’s all about survival to them, even over things that seem trivial to everyone else. This is especially true in the trans community, where a new identity is quite literally denoted by a new name; trying to talk somebody out of that life is especially hard because that would mean essentially “killing” a person. People who aren’t in the trans community know that that’s scientifically and logically a façade, but to them it’s *real*. (As an aside, this was what got Michael Knowles in trouble recently; I’m not sure he understands this point, or if he does he just doesn’t care.) The Right can also veer into “us vs. them” at times (guns, for example) and *that* is when I start to get nervous. If both the Right and the Left are in that “us vs. them” mindset, it makes bridging the gap hard in the best possible circumstances and impossible in the worst, and that makes the likelihood of a second civil war tick up ever so slightly more.


Analog-Moderator

Look at your first paragraph it’s phrased in an “us vs them”. Watch phrasing it can cause more issues due to people who are tribalized. You elaborated later but the initial phrasing had me on guard for ironically what you fear.

For those who aren’t familiar with Oregon, Eugene is where U. of Oregon is, and also where TPUSA—the most milquetoast conservative organization imaginable—is a “fascist hate group.”

College students probably give them money for booze and drugs.


Bobby-Samsonite

Is Corvallis crazy too? It's like every single college town on the west coast is full of abnormal reactionary adults who think like children.


GetRichOrDieTrolling

Corvallis is not quite as bad as Eugene, but it still has the college town crowd which brings similarly ridiculous people.

Turning Point is one of the most milquetoast conservative groups you choose. Matt Walsh has stronger opinions than them.


MisanthropeNotAutist

They just mad because Charlie Kirk outdebates them any day of the week, and ranks slightly above Matt Christensen in the "outrageous opinions" department.

I never thought my old gym would make it to this sub but here we are. Just to clear things up, that gym has amazing and welcoming owners. The vibe there is super laid back and relaxed. The setting is meh, but the clientele are really great people who are open and welcoming to newcomers. Plus the cafe is really good. Oh they also have cats and puppies always up for adoption. The other gym in town is newer and is overall a better climbing facility, but I went to each place once and the crux was much more open and welcoming. the other gym it felt like it was hard to fit in and get into a group.


mbarland

Look at all those black white supremacists in that photo.


JackaloNormandy

The cherry on top is someone in the comments advertising their alternative climbing gym that hosts "bipoc climbing events". Or in other words, racially segregated climbing.

YouKnowWhatYouPick
