Student who punched another student holding pro-ICE sign at Lake Zurich High School received 2-day suspension - Lemmy.World

Punch a Nazi and get two days off of school. Sounds like a clear win.
I really hope his parents are supportive. Those 2 days could be a nice lil break or they could be literal torture and abuse, depending on whether his parents are complete loser ‘radical pacifist’ type liberals.

“Literal torture and abuse” by “radical pacifist type liberals” huh?

What in the psyop are you trying to pull there, Jerry?

I have no idea what you’re talking about. There are plenty of “radical pacifist liberal” parents who would essentially lock their son in solitary confinement for 2 days if he was suspended from school for punching someone.
It’s stuff you made up in your head to push your position/narritive.

What is my position/narrative, exactly? All I said is I hope his parents support him for being a good dude who is willing to cause problems for himself in order to stand up for what’s right, unlike many parents I’ve seen who would torture him for daring to break the rules.

Please explain what you’re talking about, because I’m not interested in this vagueposting.

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.

What made up nonsense? You think it’s made up that 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’ve never seen all the “if he just complied the cops wouldn’t have done that to him” comments online? You’ve never heard of “zero tolerance” policies in schools causing children to be punished for fighting back against bullies?

This is not made up at all. What the fuck are you talking about?

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.

I’m glad you’ve lived such a sheltered life.

If this is an American politics-as-sports issue then maybe you’ll be soothed by my assurance that I believe fascists are far more prone to torturing their children than liberals. But liberals certainly aren’t opposed to it.

The (again made up) assumption that I’ve lived a sheltered life is another attempt to dismiss the argument as baseless instead of addressing it. You have no evidence for these claims, you’ve just got your prejudice.
You’ve definitely lived a sheltered life if you don’t believe in shitty parents, idk what to tell you.

My argument has never been that shitty parents don’t exist, don’t try to present like I have ever claimed that. Everything here is pointing out that your fantasy - that a significant proportion of parents fall into the category of “pacifist liberals who torture their kids” - is something you just plain made up.

Edit: Oh. Well thank you, mods!

I didn’t “make up” anything, I commented about an experience I have witnessed among many, many of my peers. Shitty parents who fetishize rules and uphold them over what is right are very common in my personal, lived experience. I am happy for you that you find this so unbelievable, because it means your life has been much better than mine.
Man. You’re really committed to this.

I just made an offhand comment saying I hope his parents are supportive despite the fact that many aren’t. Then a dozen people dog piled me with “actually there’s no such thing as an unsupportive parent you’re making that up this is a psyop!!!”

From my perspective, you’re the one strangely committed to denying that there has ever been a shitty parent anywhere on Earth.

Yeahhhh, buddy no. That’s not what happened. Nobody has ever claimed there weren’t unsupportive parents, you made up that a significant proportion of parents (conveniently members of a group you dont like) were prone to torturing their children.

And then after a ban, you’re back to try and make up the narrative yet again. Bold strat there.

you made up that a significant proportion of parents (conveniently members of a group you dont like) were prone to torturing their children.

I’ve seen it plenty of times. Solitary confinement is torture, punitive beatings are torture. Where I’m from, it’s very common for parents to inflict these forms of torture on their children.

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?

That was the made up claim you were rightfully called out over - once again, I’m not here to argue that shitty parents don’t exist, and I have never claimed that they don’t. I’m not about to argue about it, either, since that’s not the claim you’ve been criticized for making up.

I didn’t make anything up. That is an observation of the world around me and I stand by it.

Leave me alone, you clearly have no interest in having a reasonable conversation.

You got banned and came back 24 hours later to start this fight again - you are 100% within your rights to leave and I will absolutely respect that, but I’m not about to let you pretend you didn’t absolutely start this back up after an extremely clear indication that you should drop this. If you want to stop talking about it, feel free to stop.
I have no idea what you’re talking about, I’m just replying to what’s in my inbox.

Nope.

Denies genocides, denies functionality baked into the lemmy protocol… man, you’re a real piece of work.
