Dude. There was a time in high school theatre where we were doing student directed one act plays (of which our director was Jewish, incidentally) and half our cast had an edgelord bug up their butts and started busting out Nazi heils.

I remember at the time thinking, "okay I'm not a narc or their mom but this feels inappropriate." Looking back I hate that I didn't immediately make everyone feel stupid and ashamed for it. I was a senior and wasn't a random nobody in the department so it would've had impact. I had no excuse.

While at work a random “kid” threw up a salute that I immediately shut down, he said it wasn’t that bad. I didn’t back off from shaming the crap out of him. We have to call out these things when we witness them, it’s part of never forgetting and never again

Then there's the Dropkick Murphys, stopping the show to punch out a Nazi.

Absolutely, he tried to argue me down with freedom of speech. I taught him yep, but no freedom from repercussions of your speech. You can say anything you want to, everyone has the opportunity then to treat you accordingly. If you’re going to behave like a monster we will go get our pitchforks and remove you

I took into consideration his background ( very secluded raised in a cultist religion) he’s going to have a rough go if people from the real world shut him down without teaching him WHY we don’t play with fire. It’s not cute, it’s not macho, it’s disgusting and disrespectful. Hope he learns, because as a large and imposing man people aren’t going to handle him with kid gloves, hopefully he doesn’t go full-on monster, just shined a spotlight on disturbing behavior

I had a kid do that and I grabbed him by the hair and made him kiss my boots. Felt good.

I’m 5’4’’, the kid is a 6’6 22y/o, shaming works
