I drive by it fairly often and am so tempted to see what the fuck. Just what in the fuck.

      When I was googling for the photos I noticed that there were a few of them around the US. It's such a wild concept to me, especially right next to Wyoming where cowboy symbolism is like white people juche and rodeos have big cult vibes. If there's biscuits and gravy, hmm.

      I don't see a "no guns" sign on the door and it's in MAGA cattle country so they own whatever is on the market. You might be able to dance like a cowboy crab and shoot into the air while yelling "yip".

    You know, this has a really weird vibe like it's punching down on the little people. This could be on Vice.com.

      These aren't just generic poors in a generic church. That area is extremely conservative and they're a southern baptist church. Cowboy culture here is intimately tied to the genocide that gave them free real estate so it's the most reactionary cultural subset of one of the most reactionary areas in the state. Those people would do much worse than punch you.

          Yes? If you don't laugh at reactionaries out of class solidarity, please by all means actually go to that church and preach some Marx to them. Assuming any of them even qualify as poor given that they're ranchers in a state where land costs $500k+. Those aren't allies any more than whites were to Bolsheviks. While you're there tell every last one of them "fuck you" from me.

            Punching down is an act of bullying. It's not noble. You should remove this post.

              Cool. Write that on a piece of paper for me and I'll wipe my ass with it so it has value.
