Unless they're a priest in full garb they don't tend to stand out.
I've been inside the remaining Orthodox church in Palmerton all of once and it's really tiny. The priest is like 2,000 years old and his name is Andrei. Cool dude.
The other, St. Kiril, mostly burned down a long time ago (thankfully as far as I'm aware no one died). Apparently it's now generally accepted that there's a pretty good chance it was an anti-Russian hate crime but whoever did it was either never caught or never really looked for in the first place. The building itself is actually still there, sort of, but it's completely burned out on the inside and afaik it's never been repaired.
in a town like mine though it was kind of part of your identity, both in school and work.
There aren't a lot of non-whites in town (there are some, there's a handful of black families, two Chinese families, and the Egyptian Muslims I mentioned already) so I guess people need to find different ways to other each other.
When you're Russian and you celebrate Christmas in January it's kind of obvious. Also, having one's bat mitzvah, wearing a turban or a hijab or a sari, and so forth.
like, how do you people get to know these things about people
i dont get it
in my case these corresponded fairly obviously to social groups. mormons were the ones who were way too nice to be teenagers, laestadians were hicks who kept to themselves and were usually from a particular geographic area, russian orthodox were first to third generation immigrants who kept to themselves and had names like alexei

most of the "politics people" i follow on twitter focus on foreign relations, or just things in other countries generally, and it's mysteriously more tolerable
There's actually a hidden third option, good politics
i found exactly one person on twitter with good politics (imo) and he was smart and made good jokes but on a personal level he was a huge asshole so (*shrug*)
its just bad if you like, end up in mutuals with a perpetually screaming vegan communist 18 year old with ridiculous amounts of social clout and it takes you a while to work up the nerve to unfollow them
the REAL bad content exposure is when you get people with no off switch in your recommended pile
like, twitter really wants me to follow this antifa dude with a pinned tweet about jury nullification who has NO off switch at all, and this other furry porn artist who is like "THIS IS MY PERSONAL TWITTER NOT A DEBATE CLUB" when people disagree with him, and there was this third dude who was actually someone i used to follow on tumblr who now apparently lives in japan and is the most onerous person on gods green earth? i eventually blocked him just so id stop seeing people retweet his bullshit
Interesting takes that I hadn't thought of or wouldnt have been able to articulate well/hadn't seen articulated well
as "tolerable" before I'd call them good.
No one wants, or at least, no one should want, to have to spell out to people that fascism is bad. It's like doing your taxes. Necessary maybe, but certainly not fun, enjoyable, thought-provoking, anything like that.
i guess, the real, serious problem here is that out of all of these various political ideas i see floated around ive never seen "we phase out the entire human race, replacing them w/ genetically engineered catboys"

like, how do you people get to know these things about people
i dont get it
My mom wrote a letter to the newspaper to protest that decision
so basically xenophobia
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
i dont think i have ever felt a positive opinion about anyones politics posts

that's just me though

probably it will be a huge pain to switch between phone and laptop, but
*i cant think of a cogent reaction image to put here*
this would solve every problem
these will be proper, anime as fuck catboys, who will spend their time taking naps in and cleaning lavish yet decrepit mansions
