No criminal charges were filed, but the student who punched another student for holding a pro-ICE sign at Lake Zurich High School last week received a two-day suspension and is back in class.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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)
there is a very harmful liberal pacifist tendency in a significant part of the population which leads to people being punished for fighting back against injustice?
You think a significant part of the population would torture their child over this?
Yes, definitely. Plenty of parents would just see “my son punched someone at school and got suspended for 2 days” and they would do everything in their power to make those 2 days hell as punishment. I’m honestly amazed some of y’all seem not to be familiar with these types of parents.
Yeah you know what, I do in fact think that you’ve made up the idea that liberals are prone to torturing their children. Gonna stick with that. No idea what any of the rest of that has to do with torturing their children, and most of it is highly conservative behavior, so. Just gonna ignore it.

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

You can abuse and torture someone without using violence.

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

Calling you out directly for posting made up nonsense broadly attacking a group is not vagueposting, that’s very direct.
