Fanart made for someone not afraid to punch fascists

Kids a fucking hero.
Anyone got some background on this? I'm outta the loop
Some asshole going around his school filming and announcing "I support ICE!". He passes this guy who responds "I'm gonna punch you", the filmer says "you'll get in trouble", to which the guy pictured replies "okay" and starts swinging
That is what we call "good trouble".
That many ACAB in a school, that country is wild! And OF COURSE they're all cool with the fascist, lol.
Law enforcement requires fascism and power.
They have to be careful to a degree, since the government isn't allowed to stifle free speech on government property. If they told him he wasn't allowed to they would open themselves up to a lawsuit.
You can never be too careful with all those doors around.
There's a link called Context in the post.
Totally missed it. Thanks
Yep, he sure is. I hope he never has to pay for his own meals for at least the next six months to a year.
I hope you don't get one. Oh BTW, America has emancipation laws.
Reminds me of this photograph.
The mother of the woman was imprisoned in a concentration camp by the nazis. The guy later killed a Jew.
The nazi be like: i was just peacefully spreading hate and was unlawfully attacked by violent antifa!
Yes, but they unironically try to say this bullshit.
cry bullying is a time honored nazi tradition. that's why neo nazis and zionists still do it. sorry i just listed the same people twice.
Sweden is the exact opposite now.
I'm glad this is on Lemmy.
Reddit would put you on a list, send it to DHS, and give you a 3 day ban...just for up-voting.
That's what motivated me to make an account here. Reddit are fascist sympathizers.
Me too. Right now I'm in the middle of a 3 day ban for saying that any country that needs genocide to exist, should not exist.
I don't feel like going back after that one
Yeah, I'm on one for calling Trump a pedophile.
I've collected two bans because I won't stop saying that fascists are an existential threat and should be treated as such without mercy.
I'm 5 accounts deep since mango got reelected (allegedly)
My stress levels have dropped significantly since joining here. Fediverse seems brilliant
Just like all big-tech
Welcome!
Thanks!
I often wonder if DHS is aware of the threadiverse. I would assume so but who knows? At least I don't think our admins would cooperate with them for the most part.
US law enforcement subpoenas data centers and servers often. For a physical server, the FBI will leave a windows sever running and gain access, if it is a Linux sever however, they will to confiscate the server. I'm not sure what they do for cloud hosted servers.
All the more reason to be on a non-US based server right now.
Worth noting that a lot of their subpoenas are BS though and could be fought successfully. Big tech is too scared to do even minor things to protect their users because the regime will retaliate in other ways that could cost them money. Small hobby servers don't have the same avenue of attack, although they might be more vulnerable in other ways.
This. I work for a tech company that unfortunately gets quite a few subpoenas, from little police departments to the letter agencies, and I have pushed back on subpoenas and warrants that I felt infringed on peoples rights and "negotiated down" the scope of them. If a company isn't willing to try and keep their users out of the legal crossfire they're cowards.
Call me naive, but I trust my instance. I don't even agree with everything it stands for, but I trust the admin.
A server in .au is still part of the 5 eyes, so...
True... I guess I'm not too knowledgeable about the situation in Australia. How would the US approach them and what legal avenues for resistance exist?
They're not a fascist government but they also don't seem to have the same free speech protections the US does. Not that that has helped us much,

We can't spy on our citizens, we'll just ask our buddies to do it for us.
Spying is a bit different from being compelled to share data though. Probably everyone is vulnerable to secret surveillance, I'm not sure how to mitigate against that. But the information from such efforts will be more limited.
It's reasonable to assume the contents are being trawled in Utah, but most likely will only be looked at after trigger-words scare the AI in charge.
Why are you talking about reddit? Fuck reddit. What a shitty place to be.
Ummm... It would be very easy for DHS to just run a random fediverse instance to ingest all the content for analysis. It's not as bad as reddit and IG working with DHS directly, but don't count on the fediverse to keep you off any government list, especially if you don't use VPN.
WTF are all US schools like that? With all that security it looks like it was filmed in an airport
Because we have school shootings all the damn time. It still won't stop them from happening but it's not like we're gonna go after the source of the problem and ban guns anytime soon. Security theater is the best thing administrations can do and the kids are those who end up suffering the most out of it.
Cops at schools often escalate problems and use excessive force on children.
They're part of the youth control complex. They exist to criminalize children, creating a new generation of victim they can use to justify their continued existence. Fuck the police.
They're just another polyp spurting from the tumor that is our current system. 🤷🏼♂️
Cops

America has had cops in schools for 20 years and school shootings have only gone up. Save the money, defund useless cops.
And we can't go after the guns because patriots are going to use them in case the government ever starts doing tyrannical things like grabbing people off the streets without due process, killing protesters, breaking into houses without warrants, or threatening the voting system.
If any of that happens sometime in the future the good ol' boys will be ready to protect the Constitution and we'll understand that all the dead kids were worth it.
Dripping with irony lmao
Any day now... yep... aaaanyyyy daaaayyyy now....
patriots are going to use them in case the government ever starts doing tyrannical things like grabbing people off the streets without due process, killing protesters, breaking into houses without warrants, or threatening the voting system
That's literally what's happening right now you troll
that was super obviously sarcastic...
So they're saying we should go after guns because patriots aren't doing that, which is why I called them a troll, because they're wrong. Patriots are doing that.
they were saying that the "patriots" (so maga, not actual patriots) are claiming that they would step in and stop tyranny, but are actually doing the opposite.
and them claiming that that's the reason they need their guns is the most prominent reason that constantly comes up in discussions about gun control. which is true.
so they are saying that particular argument is utter bullshit, and that gun reform should disregard that argument.
and gun reform/gun control doesn't mean nobody can have guns.
it just means stricter rules on who can have them. which, yes, is a necessary legislation that every civilized country already has.
And I'm saying that's all bullshit, because actual patriots (not maga) ARE stepping up and using the second amendment for what it was made for. Anyone talking gun control right now is a fucking fascist masquerading as a liberal because they're scared that people are arming themselves to protect their neighborhoods.
so you just think dead children are an acceptable price to pay for... absolutely nothing. got it.
We don't need dead kids to keep the 2nd amendment strong. Thats a misconception. Gun control is a bandaid, not a real solution to the root problem of violence in this country. And if you think absolutely nothing is happening, you're either lying or not paying attention. Nice try faschy.
How did that work out for Alex Pretti?
He made the mistake of being armed alone. I've yet to see reports of the armed neighborhood patrol groups being attacked by fascists though. Nice try faschy. We're not scared of you.
School Resource Officers became common before Columbine, starting in black schools in the 1980s. (It’s America, did you think this history wouldn’t be racist as hell?)
Cory Doctorow has pointed out that if you want to see what is planned for white middle income people, look at how prisoners are treated; the same thing can be said about schools in poor neighborhoods. Now having cops handle disciplinary issues at schools is just the standard.
Lmao, guns are not the source of violence in America.
Granted it's been a bit since I've been in highschool but mine didn't remotely have that level of security. We had a rent-a-cop show up maybe twice a week who did breathalyzer tests as people came into the school. There were two entrances though so people just went to whichever one they weren't at. They also tried having a drug dog come in every so often but we revolted and all the students started putting open bags of poppy seeds and dog treats in our lockers so that didn't last long lol
the poppy seeds and dog treats are a genius idea. if I could I would pet the dog as often as possible
pet the dog
Assaulting an officer.

Largely because the only version of government spending Americans are okay with is for cops. Police spending takes up 30-45% of most municipal budgets in the "land of the free".
This is interesting, do you have more statistics regardning this?

LIES.
They also support subsidies for the rich, for example.
;-)
How would you have a robust school to prison pipeline if you don't have plenty of cops at the schools?
It was right at the main door, and they had a active student protest in that entrance space that was being policed for everyone's security. So the reg security and a couple cops and staff were literally right there to get involved.
FYI, the protest was being allowed by the school.
Well, if it weren't for the school shootings, I wouldn't know if the U.S. still had schools.
What I read was that the cops were there because there was supposed to be some sort of anti-ICE protest, and this moron shows up to support ICE because apparently he's the Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller troublemaker of his school. Ever see old videos of PeeWee Himmler in high school? Same character.
Doug Ford is trying to get that into Ontario schools.
I wish a high schooler would punch Doug Ford.
Not all schools but armed cops in schools as part of their "security" is and was a thing, at least as far back as the early 90s while I was in highschool in CA.
My schools were not but I'm a 30-something year old man. I want to tell you no but there was a shooting at my nephew's school. Granted his school is in quite close to Columbine so that may have been a factor.
They aren't. I've never been to a school like this. I'm American.
If you are in the same room as a Nazi and you are not punching the Nazi there are two Nazis in the room.
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! ;-)
Any word on what happened to this kid?
Are they arresting kids or just suspension or am I just showing my age?
I'm not yet sure what happened to the kid that punched the fascist.
However, the fascist was apparently banned from Instagram for pulling fire alarms
I hope he's doing alright
/s
Here, you dropped this.
Edit: I only just realized the Instagram ban was for the one that did the punching. I thought it was the punk bitch that was recording that got banned. I apologize and retract my remark.
Re-edit: it was a slow day at work and I caught the dumb by the end of my shift. But yes, it was the power-tool that got banned. Now I understand who OP was hoping is okay. I retract my /s and also hope for the solid boss that threw the punch.
Was it? “Danny” is saying people are “celebrating him getting punched”, and context says he’s the one who got banned.
(I also think/hope the one you replied to said “I hope he’s alright” in response to “I’m not yet sure what happened to the kid that punched the fascist”)
This kid overnight became the coolest kid in school, maybe the coolest kid in any school.
Boy is an icon.
Im curious if it actually made him popular or whether he suffers from it tbh
Now that I know the context, the kid is a hero. Us Lemmy people are proud of you.
I would like to officially nominate that kid for office of the President of the USA 2028.
Not sure the country could handle such a large swing upwards in qualifications.
I believe that you need to have turn 35 to be eligible. But maybe the kid could go for 2046?
I like this one
I would too except it's AI :/
I got it from snopes. I'm too jaded to check for AI.
The fucked up hand should be a dead give away.
Chill, kiddo. It ain't that deep.
My grandpa would have approved this and said something like "ah, that takes me back".
This kid is going places.
Punching faces, going places.
This punk band agrees (and so do I).

Stephanie Byrne is also in Cheap Perfume, who have another extremely relevant song

That was sick
I hope he gets a statue.
You and I will have to make him one, in this world... The fascists are in charge right now.
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.
And I don’t wish pain or injury on him
I do. Fuck him
I'd add to this sentiment-- we must find the state actors behind the epstein operation and do them some violent harm. We need to start standing up for ourselves and our childrens safety without exceptions or cowardice. No one else will demand this for us-- our justice and political systems-- even our party system is breaking down. We're down to pitchforks, media shame, protest signs, and the new black panthers.
Eh, he's just a stupid, edgy kid.

"I support ICE" is the new "I'm a racist"
Prove me wrong.
It is also the new "I don't believe in the Constitution"
I'm more conservative than anyone that supports the Fascist Regime in America because I believe people in the USA should have constitutional rights.
Everyone should believe in constitutional/human rights. That's not a partisan position, that's a human position.
The monsters posing as humans to push any agenda that would rob humans of their rights, should not be considered neither "left" nor "right". Many of them are simply aggressive capitalists that value profits more than human lives. There are exceptions to this.
I hope he did not get into trouble for this. Even though I would not have choosen violence, I can clearly understand him.
Yes, everyone can have an opinion with free speech. But if all of us must face consequences, then racist assholes should too.
The administration probably suspended him and gave the nazi extra credit or something. Not because they had to, but because they wanted to.
He's going to hang this on his dorm room wall.
Danny Spud is just the type of junior nazi Stephen Miller is looking for.
What an absolutely cartoonish name for such an idiot.
Cinema
I love this
This is awesome. Please link to original video if anyone has it
Amadioh Chess punches fascists. Be like Amadioh Chess
Forever immortalized
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
You are correct, although such imagery encourages organization, dialogue, and consistent civic action. :)
This. Symbols help.
history seems to disagree
All action against fascism is correct, including but not limited to violence.
Being tolerant doesn't mean tolerating intolerance, just the same, promoting peace doesn't mean a peaceful response hate.
I support violence against those who are violent.
So the guy promoting hate and locking up of children leaving day care as a means to bait out their parents, is not violent?
Supporting violence (voting, financially, or otherwise) is violence my dude, you don't get to tell the judge that you didn't kill your wife, you asked someone else to do it, so technically he needs to find middle ground here. The FAQ is wrong with that logic of yours man.
Supporting violence is clearly different than violence... You really are doing some fancy mental gymnastics. If only you had the mental capacity to not be shit.
The only reason people get away with violence, is because someone is supporting it. If you enable it. You're just as culpable. "I didn't deport this baby, I just support the people who did, how about we find common ground..."
https://www.commondreams.org/news/ice-deports-juan-nicolas
Pick a side here and stop being a coward. You're with the fascists or you're not. There is no fucking common ground with ice. That spineless middle-ground "I want them to deport babies but I also want to sleep at night" bullshit of yours, it says more than enough about the person you are.
Punch the Nazis! Make them feel unwelcome. There is no place for racism and hate.
Stop being a coward. Take a stance, pick a side. Tell us who you really are.
We should promote violence against Nazis. We should promote violence against fascists.
