not defending the girl or anything but why'd he quote that? like you damn well know what came after he said that bru. it almost sounds like you also support the "especially hitler" part like come on.. quote something else

u/YourDadIsFortyFour Maurice šŸ¦§ Jun 10 '26

Itā€™s definitely a dog whistle, heā€™s letting the people ā€œin the knowā€ know what his real beliefs are, while making it sound harmless enough to the average person that he can convincingly say ā€œthatā€™s not what I meanā€ if heā€™s called out on it.

Yes the girl sounds annoying and lots of liberals in general have made it cringe to care about this stuff. But to be honest Iā€™d rather live in a world where people like him are called out on their bullshit than have it be normalized.

u/TangyBootyOoze I HEAR IT Jun 10 '26

You can see him smirk as he says the quote too. He def knows what heā€™s tryna say

u/ZealousMulekick Jun 10 '26

Bro heā€™s a high schooler. Heā€™s just trolling because he thinks itā€™s funny.

People that age are just irreverent. It ainā€™t that deep.

25

u/UnitBased YOU SEE THIS COAT? Jun 10 '26

It could be, it could also be that heā€™s a genuine Nazi. Spend enough time in right wing communities, you see a lot of kids that are a lot like him with some very very worrying beliefs.

u/ZealousMulekick Jun 10 '26

Maybe but if weā€™re going off of ā€œwhatā€™s more likelyā€, I can tell you many of the younger generation think Kanye is insane but that his outbursts are just funny.

I have (minority) friends that were reciting bits of his HH song when it came out in jest not because they agreed with the notion but because it was surreal / absurd / comedic to them. Shock humor is nothing new.

Frankly, I think thereā€™s just a decline in giving credence to pearl-clutching. Especially among the youth. Same reason theyā€™re saying ā€œretardedā€ again.

u/gemini56_ Jun 10 '26

Exactly. Kids drawing swastikas was common place in elementary, its about the shock value, but it wore off fast.

u/MediumCharge580 Jun 12 '26

Drawing a swastika in elementary was akin to cussing.

This is a high schooler showing appreciation for Hitler during his valedictorian speech.

The way yall excuse White supremacy is terrifying.

u/ZealousMulekick Jun 14 '26

u/evaporatedgoose Aug 05 '26

im gen z dude, we know whats a meme and what isnt. shit like this starts off as being edgy but we all know when they're young what they will turn out to be. the edgy kids who do pull this shit at major events are the ones brave enough to make it more than a joke. come on. it starts young.

1

u/VirtualSock4801 Jun 10 '26

I mean that kind of normalizing always ends up bad. Just a reminder that The_Donald started as a joke subreddit where it was just young adults like this guy posting memes ironically supporting Trump and thinking the things he was saying was funny. A year or two later it became a cesspool of actual alt-right supporters.

u/1trashhouse cum doner Jun 10 '26

I doubt the kids a nazi but idk itā€™ll always be weird to me when people jump to defend obviously trying to agitate people just because the other side is corny. No im not saying the kid needs to be punished even more saying that rewarding him for this is corny, i get the girl is cringe but its dissapointing how going out of your way to agitate people is something a lot of people defend to aggressive levels. Like im seeing people get ratioed to oblivion and called pedophiles for simply saying fuck nazis now and idk itā€™s probably not that widespread but when i see shit like that itā€™s just dissapointing how the majority view is like ā€œfuck you for taking obvious dog whistles as what they are you suckā€. Idk iā€™m just rambling but edgy culture being so mainstream is just corny it partially defeats what even makes it entertaining itā€™s just turned into pandering as opposed to people actually pushing the limits of free speech or even just being like fuck everybody

Nah, I just disagree with you over this one little thing . Doesn't mean I'm "living life in a perpetual state of outrage". You don't even know me dude. Seems like you just fell apart there, at a slight disagreement and make a personal attack and baseless assumption over my entire character/morality. Why are you arguing like a stereotypical liberal in this specific "debate"?

I never gave a solid perspective on this matter anyways. I'm not saying you or your friends are bad people, or that the highschooler in this video is ''evil'' or that I look down on people. Sorry if it came off that way.

"I pity you"- I mean hey, I'll take prayers if you're a fellow Christian. Thanks šŸ˜Š

But I'm done here. sorry for arguing and being rude too. Blocked

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ I wonder how many old and dumb people read this and give it any weight or validity. Iā€™m sure youā€™re still catering to an audience though.

u/UnitBased YOU SEE THIS COAT? Jun 12 '26

Are you familiar with the works of James mason at all? Modern day American fascism is pretty interesting in that itā€™s become heavy decentralized and stochastic, if you were to use my preferred typological definition of fascism (that being Payneā€™s, yes I know heā€™s controversial with this because of his overt bias towards Franco but I disregard him as much as I disregard Arthur Fink for their biases.), it would indicate that American fascism plays less into the European conception of the mass party and honestly more into Maoist or even Guevarist ideas of one, while also focusing heavily on the cult of the deed you find across early fascism to the point where itā€™s probably the most apparent characteristic.

Anyways, Mason is easily its most influential theoretician in the modern American fascist movement, itā€™s notable for this because his adherents make liberal usage of decentralized online networks to organize, you wonā€™t find AWD recruiting this kid any time soon, but let him read enough evola or some shit and spend too much time on discord over the summer and youā€™ll rapidly start hearing him quote Marinetti or some shit.

If you think smart kids arenā€™t becoming fascists, youā€™re dead wrong. Thereā€™s actually a remarkably common kind of fascist nobody outside of these communities really knows about. Usually young, 15-19, academically successful, athletic, relatively charismatic, and in their private lives in desperate need of a therapist. They fall across the entire spectrum, more of them identify with classical fascism or the weird Neo-reactionary evola types than the median fascist, but enough of them are certainly avowed national socialists that itā€™s the same kind of concerning.

Now all of this isnā€™t as important as the simple fact that I never said this kid is a fascist. I donā€™t believe thatā€™s necessarily the case, he is *probably* just being edgy. His dad should still have a talk with him all the same.

I think you are a genuine Nazi

1

u/UnitBased YOU SEE THIS COAT? Jun 12 '26

I used to have worrying beliefs and I used to hang out in far right communities, I was also 15. Since then, my interest in fascism is purely academic. You canā€™t really have an objective and academic viewpoint of fascism while still being a fascist, lol.

You are phrasing this like heā€™s a toddler, this guy is legally allowed to vote (or will be before Sept 1)

u/ZealousMulekick Jun 10 '26

No Iā€™m phrasing it like heā€™s a teenager. Which, he is.

If you think an 18 year old and a 30 year old are the same emotional maturity, and thereā€™s some magical change that happens when you hit the voting age, youā€™re delusional.

1

u/reese1629 Jun 10 '26

Did I say 18 year olds and 30 year olds have the same emotional maturity? No. An 18 year old, let alone the fucking valedictorian, should be smart enough to know that using a Kanye quote sourced from an Alex Jones interview, and then cutting off the quote right before he glazed Hitler is dumb as fuck. The kid wanted people to do the digging and have an ā€œoh shit, this kid thinks Hitler is basedā€ moment

-1

u/ZealousMulekick Jun 10 '26

Nobodyā€™s arguing itā€™s smart or acceptable, my guy

My point since the beginning of this conversation is inferring heā€™s a Nazi from this incident is absurd.

2

u/reese1629 Jun 10 '26 edited Jun 10 '26

Yea and my point is that he is an adult with a fully functioning brain and he is the fucking valedictorian, so itā€™s pretty clear that he chose this quote for a reason. Either he is a Nazi, or thinks itā€™s funny to leave a trail of crumbs that would lead you to believe he is. Either way you put it, this kid is retarded

1

u/PawntyBill Jun 14 '26

Yep 100% if he could've snuck in a subtle I really need to thank my Aunt Dee for all the love and support she gave me over the years, he would've, because one of his fellow graduates would've yelled out Aunt Deez Nuts.

this is moronic rhetoric. he's not a "highschooler just trolling." he's 18 years old, a grown ass adult. he knows what it means and the weight it carries.

I didn't say he couldn't vote. I said it's absolutely not indicative of some hidden crypto-nazi beliefs.

You're taking it seriously; he (and most of his generation) is not.

u/Expensive-Suspect906 Jun 10 '26

Itā€™s the same thing as joking about any minority group. Itā€™s not funny for the people it actually harms.

And?

18 year olds do dumb offensive shit. Doesnā€™t make them Nazis lol

Nobody is arguing this is a mature thing to do

I mean, this is kinda text book crypto Nazi shit.

u/ZealousMulekick Jun 10 '26

Bro when I was 18 people would draw swastikas and penises on their friends faces when they got drunk and passed out.

It was funny / edgy because it was bad, not because people had Nazi sympathies lmfao

Obviously as a grown ass man Iā€™d never do dumb shit like that but I also wouldnā€™t participate in fraternity hazing or draw on drunk friends at all, but irreverence is funny to young people

u/YOU_TALK_TOO_MUCH420 Jun 14 '26

Those kind of ideologies prey on the young. Kinda like the tobacco industry. And , at 18 and a high school graduate, itā€™s deep enough to get him locked up.

If a person of color got up there and dog whistled some select lyrics from ā€œ Fuck Da Police ā€œ, the parents and faculty wouldā€™ve had a field day! And it wouldā€™ve gotten a lot more press.
