Comment on Annon punches a Nazi

Honestly as much I vehemently support punching fascists, the guy was fishing for a reaction and so got exactly what he wanted.
The only way to deal with these guys that are just trying to get attention is to just look at them disgusted and then ignore them
The Nazi SA were also fishing for a reaction from Jews, leftists, social democrats etc. – they assaulted and murdered them, and then when someone fought back they’d use it as an excuse to say “oh look how violent these Jews (or whatever) are”.
Does that mean nobody should have violently opposed Nazis?
It is not a black and white, all or nothing issue. You can fight the actual fascist agents while just ignoring the random attention seeking teenagers.
Hi. Former right winger here.
Punch Nazis. Knock out some teeth if you can.
yes it is a black and white issue, you either are a nazi, supporter or sympathezier, or your not. reading between lines only mean you actually support it.
Muricans are so retarded they only see the world as black and white and cannot fathom that you can absolutely be antifascist and still pick your fights.
Punching an attention-seeking teen on camera is a bad fight to pick.
Kudos for the puncher though, and fuck all you morons who think any sort of critical thinking is being a nazi.
Yes let us idly sit by and wait for the Fascists to take over.
This is this is some “so you hate waffles?” type shit.
Actual ice agents that are arresting people? Yes fight them physically tooth and nail, be armed to the teeth whenever they are near.
Some random kid at school being a smug prick to get a reaction for tiktok? No. It does less good than harm.
nah, some of these little shits just need to get their ass beat by someone their own age.
the ones that don’t grow up to be kirks and shapiros
And now he’s a right wing “champion if free speech fighting the woke left” will be on the right wing grift tour soon enough
Yes, but what if the next day they are 2 people “supporting ICE”, and the day after they are 4 then 6, then… then they are numemous enough they can terrorize minorities for real.
This boy stopped that right from the start, by showing them: fascists will NOT be tolerated.
So you think this shit eating loser now doesn’t support ICE, won’t don’t this exact same thing again after seeing the video he filmed get millions of views, and he gets massive support from the MAGA grift complex. This guy could probably make a career off of this event.
And then when other shit sniffing right wingers see that guy make money from it, they’re just going to copy him.
This will only do more harm than good.
eh, depends on how hard he got hit. if these hate-grifters actually faced regular physical consequences for their actions there would be far less of them. getting your ass beat is humbling experience, generally
eh, depends on how hard he got hit.
Not much, he just kept filming and talking and harvesting ticktok likes.
Maybe I’m desensitized from being a kinkster but just because someone is asking for violence doesn’t automatically mean you shouldn’t give it.
Y’all never seen a brat looking to be tamed? Sometimes people really want to learn the limits of how special they are.
that doesn’t seem to have been working
The real solution would have been for multiple people to join in so he couldn’t just walk it off the whole getting a reaction thing is made up, fascists don’t need a reaction to justify fascism, they’ll do it no matter what
“Don’t feed the trolls” has never fucking worked.
They just escalate.
… but maybe remember the bigot’s face, and wait for him to stop filming.
that never works with trolls or bullies.
No one’s saying do nothing.

Typically I would agree, however in this instance, I really feel that all of those other kids in the hall should be queued for their turn to take a swing.

If they would have been, or are today, then sure. If they aren’t, then yeah, let’s explore other ways to kill off nazis than punching them publicly on a video they are recording.
