This kid overnight became the coolest kid in school, maybe the coolest kid in any school.
Boy is an icon.
Im curious if it actually made him popular or whether he suffers from it tbh
The WORST kind of shithead is the one who does shitty things because they're technically legal.
The kid in the original video didn't need to walk around school 'protesting' his support of the status quo. He didn't need to act like he was some kind of fucking minority. Then as soon as his actions met any kind of negative (to him) repercussions he was all like "THAT'S ILLEGAL".
And I don't wish pain or injury on him. I just wish him to fuck off. I nothing him. I wish him a future where he can look back upon this episode with shame that he was such a piece of shit at this stage in his life.
But he won't.
The usual shitehawks and grifters will champion him for their own gain, they'll inflate him and make him feel important, and at worst he'll end up becoming a figurehead for the oppressed, silent, majority. A silent majority who I wish would shut the fuck up once in a while.
My grandpa would have approved this and said something like "ah, that takes me back".
I hope he did not get into trouble for this. Even though I would not have choosen violence, I can clearly understand him.
Yes, everyone can have an opinion with free speech. But if all of us must face consequences, then racist assholes should too.
The administration probably suspended him and gave the nazi extra credit or something. Not because they had to, but because they wanted to.
Danny Spud is just the type of junior nazi Stephen Miller is looking for.
If you are in the same room as a Nazi and you are not punching the Nazi there are two Nazis in the room.
Dammit, all the times those nazis hid in plain sight made me a damn nazi. I'm DEFINITELY punching them now if I catch them! ;-)
Bold artwork definitely gets attention. At the same time, it’s probably worth remembering that real change tends to come from organizing, dialogue, and consistent civic action more than just imagery.
more punches
You are correct, although such imagery encourages organization, dialogue, and consistent civic action. :)
This. Symbols help.
history seems to disagree
This is awesome. Please link to original video if anyone has it
Amadioh Chess punches fascists. Be like Amadioh Chess
Reminds me of this photograph.
The mother of the woman was imprisoned in a concentration camp by the nazis. The guy later killed a Jew.
The nazi be like: i was just peacefully spreading hate and was unlawfully attacked by violent antifa!
Yes, but they unironically try to say this bullshit.
cry bullying is a time honored nazi tradition. that's why neo nazis and zionists still do it. sorry i just listed the same people twice.
Now that I know the context, the kid is a hero. Us Lemmy people are proud of you.
Kids a fucking hero.
I'm glad this is on Lemmy.
Reddit would put you on a list, send it to DHS, and give you a 3 day ban...just for up-voting.
People are posting this kid on Reddit a lot right now, various art tributes and the like.
A lot got removed right away, but they keep up the ones in more mainstream subreddits so that people can see an equal mixture of right-wing hate as support. There's all the usual "You can tell this kid was raised by a liberal, look how emotional he is!" boomer lines and blatant attacks on his weight and every bit of hate you would expect in even distribution between supportive comments.
Reddit as an entity is working very hard to cultivate a simulated social experience, about 10% - 15% of users aren't even human, about as many posts are actually ads, and you can get shadowbanned without notice for reasons they will never explain, and that shadowban can be carried across affiliated google sites like youtube.
They want to create a landscape where they can adjust the knobs and change people's perceptions of reality at a whim or at direction from corporate interests. It's very easy to make people believe the sky is green when you can make people have an individually tuned experience of going in a popular discussion and seeing everyone say how stupid you would be to believe the sky is any other color but green, you will literally doubt your senses. Our species is vulnerable that way, we need to stop using the internet for socializing, it's going to ruin everything we've accomplished for thousands of years.
Ummm... It would be very easy for DHS to just run a random fediverse instance to ingest all the content for analysis. It's not as bad as reddit and IG working with DHS directly, but don't count on the fediverse to keep you off any government list, especially if you don't use VPN.
Why are you talking about reddit? Fuck reddit. What a shitty place to be.
I would like to officially nominate that kid for office of the President of the USA 2028.
I believe that you need to have turn 35 to be eligible. But maybe the kid could go for 2046?
