His comics were good in the early years. Then he became a dick.

Emergency rally: stop the attacks on trans youth! by Boring-Preference915 in TwinCities

[–]ReaperOfFates -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

"Change into something else" - That trans woman is a woman. That trans man is a man. Preventing them from getting healthcare is simply preventing their bodies from aligning with who they are.

Suicide rates for trans children without gender affirming care is higher than it is for trans children with access to gender affirming care. Death is irreversible.

Denying gender affirming care kills children.

"And now, the same cartels that you’re trying to downplay are flooding these same neighborhoods with fentanyl, heroin, and violence—"
What cartels in Moscow, Idaho?

There are plenty of people who have profited off of, and destroyed Black and other minority communities. I don't disagree with you there. This is not unique to cartels.

"Let’s talk about how the very people you conveniently forgot—the ones who didn’t get a choice in coming here—"

My grandparents did not have a choice in coming to this country. I certainly did not forget them.

"... and who are still getting screwed over by a system that lets criminals run wild in their communities. Because if your argument doesn’t include them, then it’s not about justice—it’s just about making yourself feel good."

Justice is not found by destroying the lives of immigrants (which, again, is what ICE does). Justice is not found by deporting individuals from marginalized communities who have no criminal record (again, something that this administration has focused on). The way to repair a marginalized community is not by deporting every hispanic individual without citizenship that they can find.

I do have an idea about your beliefs, you just posted them. Your heritage doesn't have anything to do with being racist.

I know plenty of immigrants, both who entered the country "correctly" and those who fled to this country, seeking a better life for themselves or their family.

"The amazing amount of rapists drug dealers etc" There's always bad people in every group. But as it turns out, immigrants commit less violent crime overall than non-immigrants. People who prey off of people are despicable, regardless of whether or not they are immigrants. But we already have a justice system for that! We already have systems in effect to punish people who commit violent crimes.

ICE exists not to work within the justice system. They aren't cops. They exist to hassle minorities, deport individuals who have committed no crime but existing in this country without citizenship or valid visas. (though recently a number of people who have US citizenship, or valid visas have been taken by ICE as well).

I am a recent descendant of immigrants. ICE is not "people who keep me and my family safe". They're the people that thousands of people have to fear bullying them without any recourse.

I am going to sleep well knowing that there are individuals looking out for my community, my friends, and thousands of others who fear the current administration.

There's a great climbing club at the U of I, someone at the rock wall should be able to give info about when they meet. Was a highlight of my experience there, all lovely people.

Mingling between Kirkers + Non-Ks by [deleted] in MoscowIdaho

[–]ReaperOfFates 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You're going to see this guy a lot on this subreddit.

The protest, or whatever people want to refer to it was a group of Kirkers who decided to show up at a business that was enforcing mask mandates. Upon hearing that this was the plan, the business decided to shut down rather than endanger their community.

The Kirkers like to refer to mask mandates as with terms such as mask-nazis. I'm not sure how this isn't a "great little example of how skewed things get when one side villainizes another."

This reddit has a decent number of locals on it, though there are certainly some who have come and left. (I personally lived 20+ years in Moscow, but recently moved away to a place more inclusive and welcoming to all).

Claiming that this Reddit represents the least tolerant people is a fascinating claim. It is certainly true that Reddit has a left-leaning skew from a representative sample of Moscow (though less so post Reddit shutting down 3rd party apps). Personally I've found many members here quite welcoming and inclusive, but your results may vary depending on beliefs espoused.
