Yeah. It's becoming clear and obvious that no side in any controversial situation has any morals or virtues.
Essentially, it all boils down to just looking good in front of your peers. If someone goes against the crowd but isn't breaking any rules, the crowd will legit batter and berate the people in charge until that person is punished for something.
You're free to think that, but I respectfully disagree.
If he kept doing it, sure. But taking him aside and talking to him could be more effective and less damaging than getting the authorities involved and humiliating him to "prove a point."
Show him that we're on the same side. If we treat him like an enemy when he really isn't one, he very well may become one.
I've noticed brave users are some of the biggest useful idiots on the internet.
I genuinely think there are 2 classes of brave users: people who are invested in the company trying to viral market it, and the morons who fall for it.
They're just testing to see what people are willing to accept.
Every time you see a useful idiot saying "it's not that bad" or "they're a business and they need to make money", you know who to blame for why things are the way they are.
You must be new to the world or just lacking experience in your adult life.
I guess you've never seen young people support bad guys specifically because it's provocative. They don't know any better and to assume that this kid wants a nazi regime because he did a hitler salute is asinine.
I could see him finding real support now among those who do want a nazi regime because of how he was treated by us. We should be compassionate with these kids instead of trying to beat them into submission.
Could easily see this radicalizing him if he isn't already.
It's easy to make dumb edgy jokes as a teenager without actually believing whatever you're joking about.
Humiliating this kid like this is really just trying to make an example out of him rather than solving any problem or helping him in any way.
This could've easily been solved by the teacher taking him aside and explaining to him why that's not acceptable. If he keeps doing it after being warned, then it's fine to escalate.
Could be someone excited to add content to peertube, which desperately needs it.
Yeah, no. You guys are doing more harm than good just to jerk yourselves off and fit in with your peers.
It's common among modern liberals.
Slippery slope fallacy.
He's a child and you're delusional.
You mean Vietnam? Why are you mentioning it?
Not really. 17 is still a child.
People make way dumber mistakes as adults.

How? Ukraine will need troops from additional armies in order to win against Russia.
This shouldn't have been removed, even if I disagree with it.
Streisand Effect + others
It is for children.
You're not tolerating it by taking him aside, explaining to him why it's not acceptable even as a joke, and warning him not to do it again.
You're free to think that, but I respectfully disagree.

The american dream right here.
It's why american cars suck. Nobody buys dodge overseas.
You have to be stupid enough to buy something just to support your ruling class in order to buy american cars.
What's sad is a significant amount of people have simply been conditioned to accept that level of noise in their lives.
If things are quieter and they aren't getting products shoved in their faces 24/7, they become visibly uncomfortable.
As long as the money never touches the hands of those who need it, the ruling class is satisfied.
They're just testing to see what people are willing to accept.
