This kid:
That kid is a fucking hero. I said so on Reddit when it happened, and I’m saying it here now as well. I condone his actions and, if more people did what he did, we would stand a better fighting chance against this loathsome menace currently destroying everything good in the USA and abroad.
Did reddit ban you for promoting violence? Pigboy steve only allows conservatives leeway in what they post
No, though I did post specifically that I condone what he did. It wasn’t that though. I’m dual national American and French. I grew up a lot in the USA, but I’ve been living in France for over ten years and I’ve chosen my side in this fight. To that end: I’ve been 100% serious about getting off of the American tech stack. I’ve left iCloud (Apple Music forthcoming) entirely, and been getting off of more and more non-EU/FOSS places. I’ve been blogging about it to help others. It’s been rewarding. Lemmy was just another step to take. 😃👍
While I generally agree that all Nazis must be punched, this can be counterproductive.
Look what’s going on in France. A Nazi got into a brawl, died from his wounds, and now he’s treated like a fucking national hero. The left in general are portrayed as terrorists.
Don’t underestimate how efficient the right is at playing the victim.
That just means they’re not killing enough Nazis.
It doesn’t matter. They’re getting what they want. You can play nice and let them have what they want, or you can take some risks, stand for what you believe in, and fight back.
Fighting back against school bullies is also “against the rules.”
I mean it may feel good to punch one of these Nazi’s, but it doesn’t mean it’s helping. I love what this kid did, don’t get me wrong. We absolutely need to fight back and stand for what we believe in, but getting violent, except out of defense, is unproductive and only deepens the wedge between the left and the right, making things worse.
Its helping. They want you to keep silent. That is their main goal
Kid was walking through the high on attention with a big ol sign to advertise for an untrained, highly aggresive, indescriminatly brutal paramilitary force acting out of their jurisdiction and kidnapping people off of the streets mostly without even documenting where they take them. Kid knows damn well what he supports and wants everyone to know it.
There is a time for civil debate and there’s a time for punchin’
I think carrying a sign in support of ice should count as punchin’ worthy.
People are going to have to do more than “punch Nazis” before long. If you’re clutching pearls over some high school punches, you need to wake up.
but it doesn’t mean it’s helping
This is one of those categorical imperatives where it has its desired effect as long as everyone consistently does it.
If we don’t resist, they’ll lie and say we did. If we defend ourselves, they’ll say we’re violent. So doing nothing, or doing the minimum, is ineffective. In fact, not doing things because of worries about potential fascist reactions is nothing but cowardice that plays into their hands.
only deepens the wedge between the left and the right, making things worse
There should never be any unity between the left and the right, and the violent right shouldn’t exist at all. If you’d like to eat a meal that’s 50% horse shit, that’s on you, but there are times when the only correct course of action is not to compromise. This is one.
Fighting back against school bullies is also “against the rules.”
As a kid, I had problems with bullies. Then I grew, trained, and fought back with increasing effectiveness. That ended it, and the suspensions I got along the way were a cost of doing the right thing.
And we need to crush this bullshit! Especially in Lyon it’s absolutely mind-blowing that this little shit is allowed to even be recognized as a victim. We fucking judged Klaus Barbie in Lyon when I was a kid, and people dare to say a nazi is a victim. You’ve no idea how insane this whole thing is.
Every time a Nazi gets punched , an angel 😇 gets their wings.
Every unpunched Nazi makes the baby Jesus cry.
this can be counterproductive
I see no downsides at all as long as you don’t explain why you’re doing it and don’t get caught.
Spud, who was recording on his Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses, walked down the hallway by the main entrance while stating his support for ICE and law enforcement.
Of course the bootlicker was wearing meta glasses.
Didn’t the kid (Spud) also spout off about “school code”?
I don’t know any schools that let you video record in a school without consent. Dude is wearing a recording device as glasses and did not get consent from anyone in the school. That’s against school code, bruuuuuuuuuuuh.
The article says Spud did get one day of in school suspension for recording in the school. He also complained others were also recording. Maybe if spud had not posted the video online he spills not have been caught.
Maybe they’re not so bad if we get to see more fascists get hit in 4k.
He accepted the consequences. We all heard it.
This happened in Seattle, proud of that.
I got banned from Reddit for saying punching nazis is a form of self-defense.
We as a society should not tolerate the intolerant.
The school also offered Spud a “safety plan” in response to online threats he has received, but Spud said he declined the plan.
Of course he has, if a troll behaves they cannot troll people!
Spud, who has over 60,000 followers on Instagram, posted the 47-second video to his social media profiles on Instagram, X and TikTok later that evening.
This kid sounds like the ultimate little piece of shit. I hope he and his followers grow out of it, but he’ll probably make a bunch of money and be offered a senior position in the federal government. Which won’t prove him right, though he’ll think it does.
White privilage on full display
I got arrested and charged with “aggravated assault” and nearly expelled for self-defence against a racist bully. I’m not white.
We need more white kids to use their privilage for good
Punch a Nazi and get two days off of school. Sounds like a clear win.
Punch a nazi, get 2 days off going to school full of nazis. Nice.
Also: The nazi kid’s name is Spud. Bro is a literal potato.
Worth
I fucking love this guy. He is as cool as the egg kid.
Are we normalizing political violence now?
Awww. you think you’re immune
If I was duders parents that’d be two days of pizza and soda and a informative talk about how permanent records are bullshit.
Are they bull shit?
Pretty much yeah. Like if you burn a school down or catch felony charges (Homey woulda got a misdemeanor if anything and a slap on the wrist punishment if it did go to trial.) thats a whole other thing, but popping a dude in the jaw? You aren’t losing your shot at MIT or Yale or whatever.
You need to know that though. I disclosed a suspension I didn’t need to and got a rejection letter from my dream school, which was super interested in me until after they called me to ask about it. The rejection was dated the same day as the phone call, so I’m pretty sure that’s it, because they’d already separately sent two people an hour and a half to sell me on the school.
The suspension was for going to breakfast with my carpool buddy on her first day back in school, after her grandfather died. On the way in, she started hyperventilating and saying she couldn’t go in that day and having her first experience with death, so we went to a diner instead. We got sandwiches and she talked about her grandfather for an hour, then she was calm enough to go into school. If we’d explained it to any of the adults in our lives, they’d have been fine with it, but we lied about it and got the minimum punishment for skipping school once it all came out (she folded). I didn’t realize that it wasn’t on my school record, so I included it on my college applications.
If I’d gone there, I probably wouldn’t have studied abroad, which later enabled me to immigrate to Germany, so I’m not too upset about it anymore, but it sucked at the time
Why the fuck would you ever narc on yourself?
He knew the consequences, he did it anyway. Legend.
He should get punished. Doesn’t mean it was the wrong thing to do.
Yup, I think it’s appropriate. He punched someone at school. Actions have consequences no matter the reason behind it. I got suspended for a day because a bully had his hands around my throat and I cold cocked him in the side of the head.
It’s what makes us better human beings than the right. We are perfectly okay with holding people we agree with accountable for their actions. I hope this kid has a great two day vacation from school. Sleep in and put your feet up, kid.
You absolutely should not have been punished for defending yourself in that situation; strangulation is attempt at murder. Did anything happen to the other kid?
