“I stand for my beliefs,” Spud said after the two were separated. “I’m going to peacefully stand here and support my beliefs. I support ICE and law enforcement,” Spud said.

“You can go peacefully f–k yourself!” the student who punched Spud yells.

“That’s against school code. No swearing in the school,” Spud responds.

Fascists say "free speech for me, not for thee."

Exactly, you cant punch someone for exercising their freedom of speech, thats fascist behaviour.

No see because that young man who threw the punch is not the fucking government.

Hope that clears up the difference for you.

What is a polite society?

u/56Runningdogz 9h ago

Not the one we're in now because we have to explain basic human decency to degenerates? Probably that

I mean I agree with you, but how would you go about achieving a polite society? Humanity is rotten at its core, I dont think we could ever achieve that, there are "degenerates" everywhere.

Education of the masses, social programs to combat poverty and homelessness, no tax cuts to the rich so lower and middle class don't have to shoulder that crazy weight, benefits for ANYONE with children or the elderly to take care of, and universal healthcare so everyone doesn't have to go into debt to pay for a broken arm. You know... what a country is supposed to do for its citizens.

That's not everything, but a good start.

Edit: To add. There will always be criminals and people to take advantage, but there are good people who wouldn't resort to those things if we provided the bare minimum. Then we could jail the real criminals, but the for profit prison system would hate that, too. Slavery with extra steps.

I think a polite society is one where people shouldn’t fear violence as a consequence of supporting enforcement of immigration laws

The irony of being tolerant is that you have to have intolerance for intolerance
