      Kid 1 has a pro ICE sign and a second kid warns him he is going to punch him if he doesnt stop showing it off. Shitty ICE kid gets punched by kid 2 for being a Nazi.

    Nothing more American than punching Nazis!

    Nonsense! …don’t forget about shooting and/or bombing Nazis!

    Punching them is but a gateway drug to patriotism.

    Unfortunately the kid who did the punching fell for the trolling of the asshat doing the recording. The aggressor (the asshat) was intentionally trying to provoke someone into a confrontation, and succeeded. And the puncher is now guilty of assault and battery (and there is video proof!) and will be punished, while the asshat will walk away even more smug and empowered to do it again to someone else.

    The point I am trying to make is to not feed the trolls. It doesn’t matter what bullshit they spout, or how angry it makes you: do not engage them unless they are literally (and I mean literally) endangering you or someone else. Ignoring them is the best way to shut them down.

      I used to feel this too but honestly it’s been Nazi punching time for a while now. They’re not just trolling anymore they’re actively pushing the envelope for what we’re willing to normalize. I hope they get their jaw broken next time

      Silence only helps the oppressor, never the oppressed. Your silence is what empowers them to continue spouting their bullshit, not people standing up to them regardless of what the law says.

      We do not tolerate intolerance. If they want a fight, then give it to them.

      The only takeaway is to recognize that the law is not your friend, it is actively what empowers them to have a voice and acts as a shield for them to hide behind.

      ‘ignoring them is the best way to shut them down’ haha lol, lmao even. I wish I could still believe this. As the other person said, silence only helps the oppressor.

      How’s that been working for the US government so far? We ignored them right into the highest office in the nation.

          All the more reason to teach them fully the first time that fascism is not okay.

          Negative reinforcement works great for that, especially for brains that are still developing.

          You know what doesn’t help with problem behaviors in children?

          Ignoring them and hoping they’ll go away.

            No, you teach them to be smart and not act on just emotions. You don’t teach them to go and get arrested because somebody said something they disagree with.

            Maybe teach them to organize against people like the aggressor, and rally them out of the school. Or teach them to worm the system so that admins will be compelled to get that asshole out of there.

            Simply “punching nazis” because you had an emotional reaction only reenforces the asshole’s behavior, and causes unnecessary grief on you.

            But yeah, “punch nazis” because “mah emotions”. Real smart. That’ll teach ‘em!

              The lesson isn’t “punch Nazis because mah emotions”, and the fact that that’s what you take away from it says more about your outlook than any of theirs.

              The lesson is that direct action against racism and fascism is immediately necessary every time, lest we end up in the flaming dumpster fire that we’re currently in, and if that direct action involves negative reinforcement for a racist piece of shit, then it’s a lesson sorely needed that their parents should have taught them long before situation like this.

              You’d better believe every child in my extended family is being educated on the paradox of tolerance as soon as they’re able to grasp it.

    Let this be a lesson everyone: if you’re going to punch a fascist make sure you don’t stop until his stupid mouth can’t say any more dumb shit

      this is the great thing about nazis: it’s default ‘punch’, and you have to be really fuckin dumb to say ‘hmm let’s try fascism?’

    This is quite tame compared to what American Nazis got in the 30s and 40s.

    Remember, when you beat them bad enough they’ll have more time to think about the error of their ways while confined to a hospital bed.
