This kid:
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.
Did reddit ban you for promoting violence? Pigboy steve only allows conservatives leeway in what they post
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.
Its helping. They want you to keep silent. That is their main goal
That just means they’re not killing enough Nazis.
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.
Every time a Nazi gets punched , an angel 😇 gets their wings.
Yes open civil war is the way to go.
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.

Oh look, a fascist troll. Blocked.
This person really made an account just to dick ride a pedophile.
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.

Nobody would, you’re right. And yet a whole lot of people do hate ICE. It’s a thinker, that one, for sure.
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%

Punch fascists!
It’s basically a form of self-defense.
I forget where I read it recently: “the trouble you get in for punching a fascist is less than the trouble you get in for not punching them.”
“Student” is a funny way to spell “Absolute Gigachad Legend” but OK.
He accepted the consequences. We all heard it.
If I were him… Totally worth it.
I’d pay his bail
Received a 2-day standing ovation you say?
Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you, young man, for your courage to tackle this idiot.
I fucking love this guy. He is as cool as the egg kid.
A ska band made a song about the egg boy
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.
Maybe they’re not so bad if we get to see more fascists get hit in 4k.
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.
Spud th chud?
Well that was rude. don’t know why they gave him 2 days.
they almost never punish the bullies.
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
2-days seems pretty average for fighting in my experience.

They gave my hero a couple of days off school as a reward, gotta love it.
Hopefully he got

Also phys ed, philosophy & ethics, and physics
It’s more than a worrying amount of people take away from history class
I bet more than a few teachers started giving him apples.
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”.
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)
You can abuse and torture someone without using violence.

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.

“I stand for my beliefs,” Spud said after the two were separated. “I’m going to peacefully stand here and support my beliefs. I support ICE and law enforcement,” Spud said.
“You can go peacefully f–k yourself!” the student who punched Spud yells.
What a legend.
“That’s against school code. No swearing in the school,” Spud responds.
And what a weasel.
It’s funny how they always support rules and laws when they benefit them, but ICE breaking the constitution multiple times per day isn’t an issue.
fascists don’t believe in law, they believe in power
Weaponized decency, it’s a tool to them not an ideal.
Don’t forget they recorded minors without consent for 40 seconds.
This depends on the state laws. You have no reasonable right to privacy in a public setting in most states and schools are considered public locations. There is usually paperwork at the beginning of school that a parent signs that says something along those lines. Now when it comes to minor filming another minor, that adds another whole layer to it. But what could happen is someone could go on insta and request a takedown of the video if they felt they were filmed inappropriately.
Schools aren’t full public settings, but limited public forums. First and Fourth Amendment protections are much lower, for example.
And, yes, student expectations of privacy are lower, but a lot of things (like filming other students) are restricted for safety and to avoid “substantial disruption” of the learning environment. It isn’t legally justified by them being minors. Filming minors in public is generally legal.
This kid would be in trouble for violating school rules around filming (or laws against stalking or something, but that doesn’t apply here).
Legally, however, it could be argued that if his IG or tiktok or whatever is monetized, he’s filming for commerical purposes, which would require permits/releases, but that’s not what they’re focusing on here, either.
And that’s not getting into potential FERPA violations and the like. Anyway, schools are an odd space, legally.
On Tuesday – after the district’s four-day weekend – school officials spoke with Spud and gave him a one-day in-school suspension (ISS) for video recording in the school.
Are there laws about needing consent to film minors?
Conservatism 101: rules for thee, not for me.
Absolutely prototypical Grima Wormtongue guy. Would bet money he wants to get into politics he is probably shaping his career path after Charles Kirk.
Punch a nazi, get 2 days off going to school full of nazis. Nice.
Also: The nazi kid’s name is Spud. Bro is a literal potato.
I was wondering what the other guys parents thought of their kid. Then I saw the guy is 18 and clearly trying to do the shit stirring influencer grift.
Went ahead a blocked him on all the platforms I had accounts for.

We must not look at goblin men,
We must not buy their fruits:
Who knows upon what soil they fed
Their hungry thirsty roots?
Their offers should not charm us, Their evil gifts would harm us.
Goddamn, a fucking Goblin Market reference. I fucking love this website.
Spud also has a blue Twitter checkmark. If it walks holding signs like a Nazi and quacks on a Nazi-owned platform it pays to use…
