minus-square@neanderthal@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink80•1 year agoHe isn’t afraid. He is sending a message. That message is, in the words of Eric Cartman: “Respect my authority!” I.e. it was meant to dissuade people from questions or comments that reveal his fascist beliefs. The kid shouldn’t have apologized, as he was just asking questions, and not in the dishonest way.
