a lot of teenagers first get into alt right poo poo because teenagers are all edgelord contrarians cooler than their parents. getting to meet their "heroes" and finding out that they're chinless acneblobs with underbite and cheeto-stained fingers is pretty good at breaking the spell

i'm glad that my teenage rebellion against my parents was that i wanted to sleep in and not go to church and i never went any further down that well

The worst offenders were people who posted “normie” memes—pictures with upper-case slogans across the top and bottom.

hahahahahahaha

Still, the mods invited Sam to a local Meetup—and because I’d read somewhere that your child’s internet activity is constructive if online connections cross over into IRL pals, I was actually happy for him. Friend-making at the new school was slow going; Sam never had plans on the weekend. So this Reddit thing was borderline obsessive and some of the people seemed deeply disturbed, but maybe it would turn out okay after all?

I had to help bully a bunch of admins and school board people into resigning because they though the schools LGBT alliance and a kid putting KKK recruitment flyers up were the same thing so having ones that give a gently caress without a metaphorical gun to their head sounds nice tbh

Fats Dominar is on the case


whatever the kid did, and I’m willing to acknowledge it was probably worse than she made it sound, the administration almost certainly blew it up thousands of times worse than it had to be because they never considered they were dealing with a 13 year old child with a brain like an amphetamine-soaked sponge. these people are not good at their jobs. also, most of the time when they wildly overreact and declare war on a child it’s a child of color.

school administrators in bougie neighborhoods are like parodies of the people at Dorothy Thompson’s “Who Goes Nazi?” Party

she went with her son to the rally and asked good guiding questions to put things into a context without sensationalizing it or browbeating him; it worked and he understood that he was being taken advantage of by con artists trying to capitalize on his alienation. good teen parenting

e. Yeah the school administrators sound like terrifying assholes for threatening a kid with the police like that lol, if it had been something that serious they would have been able to articulate it afterwards

yeah, the part about school administrators making a big traumatic mess out of a kid's life for reasons they wouldn't themselves admit or elaborate upon seemed plausible enough. if you think that's impossible you're a loving cop.

believing that a middle-schooler's innate sense of coolness would make them instinctively know to be repulsed by a chud IRL is the stretchy part

If everyone being tempted into Naziism was only 13 and had the same background and access to support that he did then yeah, maybe. But that's not the case and attempting to get a larger message out other than "Internet nazi's recruit vulnerable people" is reading too far into it imo.

as you concede, protesting is valuable - isn’t this exactly why? the boy got to see what real courage and iconoclasm was, and saw how phony the alt right guys whining about being hard working but oppressed actually were?

and it definitely was neither instant nor easy - it was part of a whole series of discussions and interventions that the mother-author staged; she went to the rally with him and asked pointed questions that seem to have been deeply effective

Going to postulate that "attend rally, see Nazis waving swastikas" might have a much more significant effect on a Jewish kid.
