This kid:
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
This kid has done more for his country than most of us here combined. Respect.
For me it was the little clap he did before swinging. Gets me every time.
I can’t get enough of that either and while all the great memes do the lad justice, I can’t help but feel we’re all robbed by the way they don’t capture the eager, self-satisfied “I can’t wait to deliver this L”, delicious, audible little clap 😭
book me for another 2 next wek
And a lifetime of cred.
Fucking legend.
Worth it
Punch a Nazi and get two days off of school. Sounds like a clear win.

“Literal torture and abuse” by “radical pacifist type liberals” huh?
What in the psyop are you trying to pull there, Jerry?
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”.

It’s stuff you made up in your head to push your position/narritive.

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.

Hero.
Feels weird to work in Zürich, Switzerland and see Lake Zürich every day, and then read about a random US highschool on the outskirts of Chicago being called “Lake Zurich High School”
I recently learned about this place called Paris… in Texas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris,_Texas
Wait til ya hear about all the many places and things in the US named after the literal tribes of humans who once lived in roughly that exact spot 😐
It’s also the name of the lake at the center of the village in Illinois.
Makes sense why that would feel weird tho
If I was his parent I would’ve made those two days the best
I’d have a stern talking to the lad, while he’s eating the biggest wad of cotton candy on whatever mega-rollercoaster is closest to our house.
Sternly: “ya did great son and everyone loves you. Ya punched a budding Nazi and made it both entertaining and endearing, there’s no PR firm on earth who can ever stir even a shadow of what you did”.
AKA his school rewarded him with a trip to Disneyland-- or wherever is the equivalent for him. I hope he has fun and enjoys his celebrity. He earned it. Future leadership material right there. At least one kid was taught critical thinking skills.
Should let us donate to his college fund
This.
I hope the kid is an reincarnation of this fellow.
I hope not too much, teddy was wildly racist against Native Americans
By the standards of US presidents it wasn’t even that bad. More White Man’s Burden than bounties for scalps.
Granted, Teddy was an imperialist bastard. However, he had many good qualities - such as confronting the Trusts of his time, risking his own flesh and blood in battle, creating the national parks, and genuine loyalty to America.
Ideally, this kid would embody the best traits of Teddy and ditch the nasty parts.
Teddy also bathed nude in the Potomac in all weathers. Once he went with the French ambassador who insisted on keeping his gloves on in case they encountered any ladies.
Comic Sands had some background on this and I think it explains a lot:
Self-described content creator “Danny Spud” is known for producing ragebait video content. He frequently uses Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses to covertly film his “pranks.”
Spuds “prank” videos routinely show him harassing strangers until they’re forced to react. No one was buying his support of anything other than self-promotion. Danny Spud doesn’t support ICE or law enforcement. Danny Spud only supports Danny Spud.
Spud got exactly what he was hoping for, in other words. This was his plan, his plan worked, so he should be happy, right? I had felt like an “I Love ICE” sign, in this day and age, was pretty much incitement, and it turns out, it was exactly that. In a perfect world, there would be consequences for doing that.
Yeah, this take is BS.
If you hold a sign saying you’re pro-ICE, you’re pro-ICE. If you’re harassing people and pushing their buttons saying you’re pro-ICE, you are in fact pro-ICE. Anyone walking by will assume you are pro-ICE. It isn’t up to the viewer to perform a psychoanalysis of the person and calculate the odds of whether the person is lying, and if they’re trolling… fuck ’em.
Holy shit this is amazing
There kinda is. All the attention and glory is on the puncher, spud is a laughing stock. And it’s gonna stay that way memetically
I got banned from Reddit for saying punching nazis is a form of self-defense.
We as a society should not tolerate the intolerant.
This happened in Seattle, proud of that.
The 206 represents!
