    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.

    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

    /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”)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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,

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
