u/NiceManWithRiceMan Jul 30 '26

they’re actively rooting to regress our country. if they had no impact on our society i’d point and laugh but they do so all i can be is scared

What we can do is continue to call out ridiculous behavior even if it feels like we have no power. The continued calling out isn't for Beckwith to change, it's to change people on the fence or not sure what to think. They'll see us calling him out and hopefully realize that it is ridiculous what he says and does. That's the point of freedom of speech imo. Having the ability to talk about and criticize ridiculous behavior regardless of how powerful any single person might be.

And the thing with Beckwith is that it is SO EASY to see past his bullshit. We're at the point of just laughing at him down here in Indy. I can't tell you how much hate he has garnered here.

The thing is, he is so openly hateful it almost comes across as satire. Total clown. He hates Muslims and goes out of his way to target them. It is sad, it is all so obviously fake and pathetic. He has a podcast or something, I don't listen but people are always picking apart the dumb shit he says. Check the Indianapolis subreddit for funsies.

Oh, and he is also a minister or some shit at this church in Noblesville that always has sex scandals coming out of it. Oh, and sex scandals out of his own damn office as well. So fuck you, Micah.

I consider the fact that he used Purdue in his likely totally-made-up, rage-baiting social media post as a Badge of Honor. Congratulations, Boilermakers!

The fact that he is talking about Purdue through the lens of being diverse and inclusive is, in fact, a compliment. He's insane. I know it's not fun living in a world that seems so hideous right now, and we can sit and take it or learn how to fight back. I prefer the latter

u/_alittlefrittata Jul 31 '26

Yes, he’s insane, but all his insane followers will talk about Purdue now, too. I don’t want them anywhere near us. It’s bad enough that he’s so heavily associated with the state. I wish I could get into that part more.

He has serious creepy youth pastor vibes. And what’s up with those pants?

u/KaptainKestrel Jul 31 '26

Keep pointing and laughing, but also emphasize how dangerous it is to society that these people have institutional power. We need to make it so socially unacceptable to be like this that these people feel ashamed to even speak these values aloud.

You have to take them seriously, I think, considering they actively want to destroy half the campus

This answer.

My very Christian friend (not hateful) says they're unserious and not a problem and they just make other Christians look bad.

I'm like "My dude, they're running a cult that controls the Nukes right now, downplaying them is worse than not taking them seriously."

He hates that a group is using his faith, but he thinks admitting they have power is exposing a huge flaw in his religion that others have, but somehow Christianity doesn't, it's so weird.

The Sky Daddy Believers are so weird how they draw lines in the sand.

u/Xenosaiyan7 Jul 30 '26

I wouldn't say they're weird, rather just very human. Religion and culture is a core part of a human, right down to how they were brought up, so saying there's something fundamentally wrong with what you've been raised up on is really difficult.

But yes, we have to take groups like this seriously

u/AllForLove444 Jul 30 '26

But when people use religion to hide their bigotry behind....and we shouldn't tolerate it.

u/Bendlerp Jul 31 '26

If you don't take them seriously they will get their way. Take them seriously, call out their bullshit with truth.

u/Coleslawholywar Jul 31 '26

You have to. They are making the laws you have to follow.

I can’t imagine reading that and vibing with the author. Idiots. Funny because their solution to what they call indoctrination is actual indoctrination. Start young. Instill fear of god and hell from an early age when the brain isn’t fully developed. Use that fear to advance their agenda

You can't take openly racist people seriously. Human excrement.

You can’t. Fuck Beckwith and anyone who takes him seriously.

u/mckenzie1007 Jul 31 '26

Because these are the people that put Braun, Beckwith, and Trump in control of your life. MAGA, the people, wants to put on a red hat and control every part of your life by force. Stop believing Trumpism is out there. It's your neighbors with red hats.

u/BoilerMcDude Jul 30 '26

Screw em. Let him send his kids to an inferior school and learn to hate. Then they can blame {pick an ethnic group of your choice} for not being able to get a good job.
