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.

This kid overnight became the coolest kid in school, maybe the coolest kid in any school.

Boy is an icon.

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.

The administration probably suspended him and gave the nazi extra credit or something. Not because they had to, but because they wanted to.

Yes, everyone can have an opinion with free speech. But if all of us must face consequences, then racist assholes should too.

Danny Spud is just the type of junior nazi Stephen Miller is looking for.

What an absolutely cartoonish name for such an idiot.

This is awesome. Please link to original video if anyone has it

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

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

history seems to disagree

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You are correct, although such imagery encourages organization, dialogue, and consistent civic action. :)

This. Symbols help.

If you are in the same room as a Nazi and you are not punching the Nazi there are two Nazis in the room.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

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! ;-)
