Not really. 17 is still a child.

People make way dumber mistakes as adults.

Streisand Effect + others

Stupidity does not protect against punishment.

It is for children.

You’re not tolerating it by taking him aside, explaining to him why it’s not acceptable even as a joke, and warning him not to do it again.

You’re free to think that, but I respectfully disagree.

If he kept doing it, sure. But taking him aside and talking to him could be more effective and less damaging than getting the authorities involved and humiliating him to “prove a point.”

Show him that we’re on the same side. If we treat him like an enemy when he really isn’t one, he very well may become one.

I’ve noticed brave users are some of the biggest useful idiots on the internet.

I genuinely think there are 2 classes of brave users: people who are invested in the company trying to viral market it, and the morons who fall for it.

The american dream right here.

It’s why american cars suck. Nobody buys dodge overseas.

You have to be stupid enough to buy something just to support your ruling class in order to buy american cars.

What’s sad is a significant amount of people have simply been conditioned to accept that level of noise in their lives.

If things are quieter and they aren’t getting products shoved in their faces 24/7, they become visibly uncomfortable.

As long as the money never touches the hands of those who need it, the ruling class is satisfied.

They’re just testing to see what people are willing to accept.

Every time you see a useful idiot saying “it’s not that bad” or “they’re a business and they need to make money”, you know who to blame for why things are the way they are.

You must be new to the world or just lacking experience in your adult life.

I guess you’ve never seen young people support bad guys specifically because it’s provocative. They don’t know any better and to assume that this kid wants a nazi regime because he did a hitler salute is asinine.

I could see him finding real support now among those who do want a nazi regime because of how he was treated by us. We should be compassionate with these kids instead of trying to beat them into submission.

Could easily see this radicalizing him if he isn’t already.

It’s easy to make dumb edgy jokes as a teenager without actually believing whatever you’re joking about.

Humiliating this kid like this is really just trying to make an example out of him rather than solving any problem or helping him in any way.

This could’ve easily been solved by the teacher taking him aside and explaining to him why that’s not acceptable. If he keeps doing it after being warned, then it’s fine to escalate.

Performing a seig heil is illegal in Poland, and carries a potential sentence of up to two years in prison.

What the fuck. I feel like this does more harm than good.

Oh boy. Sorry I’m not going to read all that because I’ve been there before.

You people will legit stop at nothing to avoid admitting how you’re part of the problem. Once the snowball effect has taken hold and you’re just trying to fit in with your peers, it’s an unstoppable force.

My time on the internet has really taught me a lot about human psychology. I’m glad I can see you people and your tactics for what they are and give you the respect you deserve.

Goodbye. You may have the last word (because you will not stop until you get it.)

I’m not mad, so that’s another thing you’re wrong about.

I’m telling you people why he’s not a good guy because you clearly can’t figure it out for yourselves. You’re getting mad at me because you want to fit in with your peers and refuse to acknowledge how you’re supporting the disparity in wealth.

Now go ahead and block me for calling you out.

I’ll just block you because you people are insufferable and will not stop until I give you the last word.

If you think I’m being an asshole then it’s simply because you don’t want to recognize how you’re contributing to the problem. Look at all the other baseless insults people are throwing at me to avoid acknowledging it.

I guess they get a free pass because they’re supporting a culture you’re proud to be a part of?

I know what I’ll put my money on.

Gonna block ya now.

You are completely missing the fact that poverty is a relative concept.

poor people whose lives could’ve been saved with this money perish.

Saving lives isn’t a “relative concept.” I said nobody will be brought out of poverty from this, which is true. I also said no lives would be saved from this, which is also true.

You only focused on the poverty aspect of my argument because it was easier to argue against, and you still failed to debunk it because nobody was brought out of poverty from this.

What are you going to say next to defend passing a bunch of money around at the top? Anything to avoid admitting you’re supporting the problem.

definitely no issue with rape in French society.

This is your preconception.

I guess you don’t have statistics to support it. Let me fix your comment for you:

It’s not my job to fish up statistics to support you or anyone else’s my shitty preconceptions.

Why do you think his neighbors don’t need the money?

They will survive without it. There are plenty of other people who have to survive with less, and plenty more who have even less and don’t survive.

How do you know he isn’t also donating to people in real need?

That’s not what he’s getting praised for.

And why exactly shouldn’t he have money?

Watch your wording. I never said he shouldn’t have money. He shouldn’t have the excess that he has, though. Good job trying to change my argument with something that’s easier to argue against. It’s a tried-and-true tactic among the willful ignorance crowd.

He shouldn’t have that much money because the only reason why he, or anyone else, has those excesses is because others do not have enough. It really is that simple. But here you are praising him for “giving back” a minuscule amount of what he shouldn’t have in the first place.

This money is also going to end up in the hands of people who shouldn’t have it in the first place and the only reason others don’t have enough is because they have too much.

Did you personally determine the correct amount he’s allowed to have?

Yep.

Sounds like a lot of certainty for someone who probably doesn’t have all the facts.

Sounds more like you don’t want to understand how you’re supporting the problem and want to fit in with your peers. I know what I’ll put my money on.

Wow, you’re really upset because I dared criticize how we’re passing a bunch of money around at the top.

It’s to be expected. You’ve been conditioned to support this system and get angry at any ideas that goes against it.

Gonna block you too. You should really consider why you’re getting so mad over someone on the internet saying that a rich person could’ve spent his money to save lives but he chose not to.

The reason is because you don’t want to realize how you’re part of the problem and other people need money way more than you or your peers.
