    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.

        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.

        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.

            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.

        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.

        Well last time we had the deplorable, violent racists trying to run the show, they had to be crushed into submission - so maybe, yeah. They must be shown that their vile ideas and actions have consequences. CLEARLY they haven’t received enough consequences lately, given their utter lack of shame in <current year>. When it really comes down to it, I’d bet their small minority can’t possibly put up a large enough fighting force willing to stick their necks our for racism anyways, certainly none of the octogenarian monsters at the top.

        The same agents who are raping, murdering, and molesting children in the ICE concentration camps? The same ones who brutalized, terrorized, and murdered people in communities so they could deport immigrants, 5% of whom have criminal records?

        Yea okay I’ll keep protesting.

            Just as a post script- I know I won’t convince you to hate ice, but maybe I can convince you that I don’t hate you. That the left doesn’t hate you. I need to remember the right doesn’t hate lil’ ol queer me. We hate what we’ve been told about each other.

            If that’s your bar, then we need to deport every Catholic priest and cop. They are much more likely to hurt someone I, or you, love.

            We’ve been brainwashed into thinking some brown kid from across the border who’s parents went through hell and back is the problem. Frankly, we’ve also been brainwashed into thinking the angry MAGA capped West Virginian is the problem. It’s not.

            You know the problem. It’s your health insurance premiums. It’s your cost of food. It’s your cost of living. It’s your pain. It’s the same pain that made the brown folks come here and the West Virginian vote for a rapist convict.

            That pain doesn’t come from a made up immigrant eating a dog. It comes from a group of men that could fit in a school bus who have ensured we stay disconnected and dumb so they can rob us blind. ICE is here to enforce this belief, not keep us safe.

            The only way out is to kill a king. The only way to kill a king is to trust your neighbors. 14% or 5%

    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.

        I remember visiting the teens center at a local library. I saw a bit of nerd merch I thought was really cool, so I went to take a picture of it, and the librarian there was on me in a flash to stop photography. Recording protection is a real thing when it matters.

          There was a whole dialogue about “is it OK to punch nazis” in like 2016. Most libs in my life, including a college professor were very against punching nazis. I’m certain any comment section outside of Lemmy is full of libs going “You can’t just assault people because of their opinions, that makes you just as bad as nazis”.

            20 years ago I might have said you shouldn’t punch a kid for saying Nazi shit, because he doesn’t understand what he is saying and is probably just being edgy. By 2016 I was pretty on board with punching Nazis. In 2026, while I still would not punch a child because I am an adult, that’s about as far as I will go with that statement. Kid did good.

            Yeah, I’ve been writing about this idiocy since almost thirty years. Fighting evil doesn’t make you just as bad as evil. Using that “logic”, we were wrong to bomb the hell out of the Nazis and shoot them in Europe. We were “bad” to do so? I don’t think so. It’s idiotic to think that. In fact, it’s an utter betrayal of the enlightenment values amongst which we gained the idea of nuance under the law. It portrays a philosophy devoid of any actual thought, relying simply on mindless knee-jerk reactions.

            That’s pretty much what’s happening right now in France. I hope we get through this kicking more fascist asses, hopefully once Lyon remember its fucking history.

            When your opinion is ethnic cleansing, no, using violence against that doesn’t make you as bad as the Nazis. Stop race hate by any means necessary. (Not saying that’s your stance, just my 2 cents to that dumbass argument)

                Calling you out for posting made up nonsense broadly attacking a group you frequently disparage is not vagueposting, that’s very direct. Even if you believe your prejudices truly are representative enough of the whole to warrant being shared, which no, don’t try and dismiss their criticism by reframing what they’ve said as something you can object to. That’s not what they were doing, and what you’re doing is transparent.
