The Filmer is trying to get some Charlie Kirk attention and launch his streaming career or some shit, instead no one knows who that fucking creep is, but we all know the face of who hit him.

The filmer looks like such a punk, tall, acting cool, doing the "I have a right to be a fascist, what are you gonna do about it" bit. the kid who threw the punch is about as unassuming as you can be, probably not super popular, kind of a big guy, when he speaks, there is a waver in his voice from not being the kind of guy who initiates violence that even comes off as sort of meek. He probably got made fun of by people like the Filmer.

But the Filmer captured this brief moment, not the face of a fascist getting punched, but of the righteous anger and imperative to defend the defenseless, coming for your fascist ass. Those who try to get along, who believe in kindness and humanity, unable to be civilized about smug incivility.

I'm making these details up, I dont know anything about these young people personally, but thats the message we received. Smug self interest advocating the destruction of lives, gleefulness in the face of incredible fascist violence; met with the rising tide of popular anger against this acute sickness at the heart of a sick society.

Humanity vs the inhumane, in one still image. A picture that says more than 1000 words, it speaks to a growing sentiment among many. We see him and we see ourselves, or who we think more people aught to be.

As much as people enjoyed Waltz' performance in the opening scene and how utterly cold and ruthless his facial expression was when he asked the Frenchman "You're hiding enemies of the state, aren't you", can we all just take a moment to appreciate how he also pulled off looking exactly like the pathetic and cowardly fascist he portrays in this very image?

I thought it stops being a paradox when you realize it's part of the social contract. Violate it too much and you're no longer guaranteed society's succor.

Video for anyone who hasn't seen it

Agreed, I'm proud of the puncher, but the video was obviously posted by this little Stephen Miller Jr prick who got exactly what he wanted.

I don't know what the answer is but I think it might be more violence?

Yes and the other kid was just a spinless little asshole who needed to learn that irl actions have consequences.

From how the rest of the interaction went I'm afraid that's the opposite of what he learned after the police intervened

Yeah, that other kid was a punk bitch who needs to get his ass kicked to learn his place in life. Someone messed up raising him, and they raised a cunt.

Rubber sole sommelier is great. Ill have to start using that.

We got this fabulous shot where he just outmogs the wimp tho

I've heard a reasoning that 4chan is always a counterculture site against the current culture, and if 4chan starts to be more similar to my beliefs, then we have some problems in here.

Kids were doing an anti-ICE protest at school. The kid recording had a "I support ICE" sign.

"I'm going to punch you in the face"

"You're going to get in trouble"

"Okay"

Absolute legend.

Punching isn't usually the best first move, but the normal rules go out the window when you're dealing with fascists so I support him 100%. Punching is a very mild appropriate response in that context.

He's punchin' better than people who ain't punchin'.
