69. Trojan condoms could slap their logo

at the bottom of this image and it would be the most effective ad they'd ever produce.

[smirkymonkey]

71. *snort*

[hedda_foil]

[global1]

4. The Trump Youth.....nt

[workinclasszero]

26. Bingo

[mountain grammy]

39. There it is!

[catbyte]

6. Sieg heil, son. Jesus Christ, put a brown shirt on him & it's Hitler Youth.

Tragic.

[Cha]

8. F.U.C.K.

[cyberswede]

14. Holy shit.

I feel sick.

[vdogg]

15. Hitler youth parallel is stunning.

[liberalnarb]

17. Sad. nt

[TrekLuver]

19. Plenty of children are being taught to hate in America.

[budkin]

20. Reminds me of this...

[dalton99]

23. or this:

[workinclasszero]

22. Kids aren't born racist haters (republicans)

They are taught to hate the "others" by Mommy and Daddy.

[MotorCityMan]

40. Youve Got To Be Carefully Taught

You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!

[workinclasszero]

41. That sums it up well

Who wrote that?

[irisblue]

45. Rogers & Hammerstein from the musical South Pacific 1949

James Michener wrote Tales of the South Pacific in 45, published in 46, musical in 49, movie in 58. Put on Lincoln High School Stage, Michigan 1975. I did make up& costumes. The movie is kind of clunky now but very worth a watch. It must have rocked viewpoints then.


~~~~~Wikipedia said there is a later movie, that I haven't seen~~~~~

[workinclasszero]

46. Wow they were on the ball

You have to be taught to hate for sure.

[Hawaii Hiker]

24. I bet that little bastard is a big bully

gets called in the principals office twice a week for terrorizing his fellow students..

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

32. Or doesn't get called to the principal's office because

his parents are big bullies and it's easier for the admins to just leave the teachers to try repeatedly to appease them.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

48. Well maybe but....

...there's a chance he's home-schooled...

.... by thoughtful loving parents.

[bushisanidiot]

25. Hitler youth

.

[EL34x4]

30. That's a very powerful photo.

Stepping aside from the subject and judging the photo on its own, it's very good. Hat's off to whoever took it.

[Tom Rivers]

31. looks like a picture right out of 1930's germany

jesus christ. how can more people not realize this? do they just not care?

[malchickiwick]

33. I feel only pity foor this poor kid.

It's bad enough to be so full of hate and anger when you're a washed-up middle-aged moran [sic] brimming with regret, but this kid has his whole life in front of him. It must be awful to feel such vitriol, and not even know why

[JNelson6563]

34. I feel fear and dread for his peers though.

[Blue Idaho]

35. Hitler Youth 2016.

I'm sure his mom and dad are real proud.

[kwolf68]

36. Brainwashing

I coach ice hockey and now and then the kids (11-12 year olds) like to bring up politics. I implore them to focus on LEARNING things...learn math, science, read books, get to know about different cultures and of course play great hockey as a team. My assistant coach is a Trump head and he is more outspoken, but my locker room is a strict no politics area, because

A) you kids have not had the time to develop the wisdom or knowledge to analyze the complex political issues of the day
B) not everyone thinks alike and our goal is to come together and I find too many use politics to divide us

I think Maher said it best, that when kids are able to express your ideology then your ideology is child-like anyway.

[BigDemVoter]

38. He already has that permanent Repuke expression

of having his nose all wrinkled up like he smells SHIT.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

50. I bet his parents have plenty of guns.

Maybe junior will have an "accident" directed at his parents?

[VOX]

51. Drumpf Jugend. "Amerika Uber Alles."

It CAN happen here. It IS happening here, wrapped in a Chinese-made flag, carrying a Bible and toting an AR-15 with multiple 30-round mags.

"American Exceptionalism"

[senseandsensibility]

52. I feel uncomfortable with the criticism of the child.

If he is expressing hatred and anger, he learned it from adults. The adults should be criticized.

[kcr]

55. I agree. This is shitty.

It's wrong to attack kids like this. They're parrotting adults. They don't understand.

[treestar]

58. The OP does criticize the parents

that is inherent in the title of the OP. Nowhere does it say OP criticizes the kid.

And the kid being exposed to it as a child makes it somewhat more likely he will grow up to be what his parents taught him to be, though admittedly he may find another way. But what he is exposed to is not mild or even just talk.

[kcr]

60. The title just says "Oh. My. God." Maybe it was changed?

And I don't know how true it is that he'll be more likely to grow up that way, but to me it doesn't matter. He hasn't grown up, yet, and he didn't pick his parents. Being picked on for it by us will make it less likely to listen to us later. That's how people grow and change, by being exposed to different people. If those people are being mean and making fun of him, how well do you think that will go? My parents were right wingers. I'm glad the internet wasn't around back then.

[treestar]

61. Merely showing the photo of the kid in public is not criticizing him

and of course "oh my god" is a reaction to the fact some parent brought their kid there and has convinced their kid to feel that way.

Like the Dixie Chicks, who were shocked not so much by the ire directed at them, but by the mother instructing her young child to hate them. That wasn't criticizing the kid, it was shock that there are parents who would teach their kids like that.

[senseandsensibility]

64. I wasn't referring to the OP necessarily

but to several comments on this thread (too many to respond to individually).

[nini]

63. Then the same needs to be applied to bullys in general then

I assume then you think criticizing a kid that age who bullies other should not be allowed - it's the same thing. That kid's face is full of hate - He's not 4 years old and old enough to take part in this hate fest willingly.

And yes..his parents suck ass because he most likely learned it from them. But he is old enough now to take part and not just sit back because his imbecile parents brought him there.

Fine line here - I for one think anyone who acts like this is open to criticism. I'm done with coddling their hate at any level or age.

[catbyte]

54. What shirt does that creepy tatted guy in back of him have on? Looks pretty vile.

[kebob]

67. Litler

[Divine Discontent]

70. way to fill him full of hate... the dress shirt & tie like a Hitler Youth member really set it off

[Yavin4]

73. I have hope for this kid.

Normally, when kids hit their teen years, they rebel against what their parents taught them.

[ladym55]

75. Nice job, Mom and Dad nt

[amb123]

78. I definitely see a swastika armband in his future.
