While it can be a problem in parts of Montana, I think that you are probably dealing with stereotypes there.

Just as a wild guess, are you from an East Coast state and you think that Montana is somehow just another version of Binghampton, Toledo, Grand Rapids or one of those East Coast cities?

Fortunately the SPLC has a handy Hate Map that we can use to kill 2 birds with one stone in this "learning opportunity".

Those lessons being:
1) There are 10 Active hate groups in Montana (according to the SPLC), which on its face looks good for Montana. When adjusted for population it comes in at #7 according to the math done here --> http://brilliantmistake.tumblr.com/post/182303771/most-hate-by-state

2) Looking at the map it's obvious with anyone with a working pair of eyes that not only is Michigan an East Coast state, it's also a Gulf Coast state.

Billings is the largest city, it's usually a bellweather battleground.

Missoula is hippies and students.

I'm somewhat surprised that the Missoulian endorsed him to begin with. Though I have no idea of the political leanings of the paper, and only a high level idea of Missoula demographics, so I'm likely to be wrong about that.

Let's try to maintain some perspective (editor's note: I skipped the last 3 pages) if the state of Montana was a Metropolitan Statistical Area (how the government tracks urban areas) it would be the 52nd most populous at ~1.03mil, landing between two East & West Coast megalopolises: Grand Rapids, MI. & Tulsa, OK

edit: just noticed that the wikipedia image has Grand Rapids in both Wyoming & Michigan which is impossible because Wyoming & Michigan are on opposite coasts.

Real talk RE McMansions: from 1998-2008 I worked as a residential designer, the last 3 years for a high end boutique builder. 4,000 sq ft w/ 5 bedrooms plus a bonus room was pretty much where we topped out. I did work on some one off plans that were a couple bedrooms bigger, but those weren't all that common.

I think the point I'm getting at is that gearing up for a confrontation of some sort is going to get you killed anyways so your only real defense is foresight and not being around when the militias start kicking down doors or whatever. But this is a pointless derail and I'm sorry for getting involved.

I had a conversation with one of my wife's ammosexual in-laws who did 2 tours in Iraq with the Oregon National Guard at Thanksgiving a few years back that kinda went...

Ammosexual in-law: I can't believe you live in "the city" and don't have a gun to protect your family.

Me: Meh, I have a big, loud dog. So any ne'er do wells that are thinking of breaking into our house will hear big, loud dog & likely move on to a softer target.

I am really and truly confused.

Do you think of 480 acres, 40 miles from Manhattan, and directly across from a mall, as a "wilderness area"

Like, the problem with me trolling people from New York is I don't need to. There are a few areas in New York State that are close to being a wilderness, like in the Adirondacks, but suburban Westchester county is not one of them.

Like, do people in New York State really think "wilderness" is anywhere where you can't hear the freeway that easily?

BetterToRuleInHell posted:

gently caress Russia, lets laugh at some weird poo poo.

Someone break down this one. I need to know why anyone thought any of this was a good idea.

TLDR -- students at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington asked for a 'Day of Absence', asking all the white people to leave the school for a day. A liberal professor (indicated by the article) disagrees with this, and then he's deemed a racist and students and a segment of the faculty demand his firing, because he's somehow endangering students.

Not to be outdone by asking white people to collectively gently caress off, groups of progressive students started roaming the school grounds with bats, because why not. The cherry on top are the counter-protesters, some identifying themselves with Limp-Bizkit themed protests.

This sounds like longform improv.

The part of that you didn't include was that students of color have been participating in a "Day of Absence" for awhile, this year they decided "nah, the white students can bounce for a day" leading to the shitstorm around the professor in question. That's about where I lose interest though.
