She Is More Educated

Why do you assume I haven’t watched the video? I did, until the end. It isn’t much different from this…
Not that video. In my first comment, which you replied to, I linked to Morton’s ravings in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ9muqi_Rbw
What is it about “the guy’s opinions – even if deranged and anti-Semitic – have no bearing on this harassment” that you don’t get?
Saying that the Jews are poisoning wells and sacrificing European children, and want to take over the world and enslave everyone; that we went to war with Germany to secure the land rights to Palestine for Israel because America’s military works for Rothschild and to war with N Korea as well, for God knows what diabolical reason he attributes to the Jews – these are not opinions I can overlook as easily as you seem to be able to do.
This is Protocols of Zion level lunacy and a valid reason to look askance at his latest video! Put it together with the staginess of the performance and the Asian sounding “Mexican” woman and my opinion is that it may well be fake. You feel otherwise. Fair enough. However, let’s not downplay the problematic nature of vicious antisemitic propaganda by saying his opinions aren’t relevant.

I grant you, he’s not an ideal poster child for the point I’m hoping to make, and you can imagine how that discovery chafes.
When I first saw the video I was appalled at how he was being treated and impressed with how he responded. I even forwarded it to my brother. Then out of curiosity I looked at several of his other videos. Each one happened to be progressively worse, culminating with RE: Psychotic Hallucination – Lionel – War Machine Rothschild Freemasonic Occult (Catchy title)
My concerns are:
1. The things he says – Jews poison wells and murder European children, etc. – are so insane I feel the need to be cautious about accepting anything he says or does. This includes his making a video depicting himself as a reasonable, long-suffering, extraordinarily mild-mannered guy.
2. Having seen that he was not what his video (the harassment one) portrayed him to be, when I watched it a second time it struck me as fake (in several ways that I’ve already mentioned in previous comments).
So not only are his ravings reprehensible, it seems possible to me that he is trolling us as well.
However, the video, reproduced here, isn’t about him.
It isn’t mainly about him, but he has a large supporting role, and he comes across as the “hero” of the piece. I fully see the point you are trying to make. The ignorance and irrationality of some leftists is very annoying and can even be dangerous. I would never want to contend with you on that. But I also never want to be duped by an internet troll, and particularly not by an apparent neo-Nazi.

I grant you, he’s not an ideal poster child for the point I’m hoping to make, and you can imagine how that discovery chafes.
Actually, why?
As has been pointed out rather repeatedly what we . . . We . . . have here is a totally typical, unremarkable, utterly bog standard right wing liberal. What we also have here is a totally typical, unremarkable, utterly bog standard left wing liberal.
And.
Being quite distinct from the assorted videos, between the two sides that are documented as useless, worthless, extremist total shits are the totally and obviously separate rest of us, the conservative, the centered, the balanced, the reasoned. We are not moderate, we are the conservative, we are the center, and puerile yammering of “moderate” is the decrepit posturing of the right wing infirm and the left wing threadbare.
One of the easiest ways to catch the left and right wing liberal failures is any of their claims that if one is not from one extreme, one has to be the from the other extreme, because facing reality means to admit that the actual reality will remain the inevitable acknowledgment of the rest of us in the middle.
So, we have videos that show the right and left wing to be blatantly and openly interchangeable mirrors of each other? Golly. The shock. The horror, the horror. Woe is us. Oh, the humanity. Think of the children.
At the very least, one definite advantage of the era of unending and ubiquitous YouTube is that such unambiguous examples of right wing failure and left wing failure will always remain and remind of the permanently preeminent middle.

Actually, why?
Well, it adds the complication currently ongoing. Though again, the interaction seems to me genuine because it’s so peculiar and disproportionate, so imaginatively spiteful. In some ways, the dynamic reminds me of the archetypal ‘mean girls’ from school. The ones who identify someone with no social back-up and then focus on something trivial that can be construed as a transgression. The wrong shoes, an unfashionable bag. A t-shirt with a message of which they don’t approve.

David. I linked to the video because it seems so believable – it fits the pattern of leftist behaviour we’ve seen before, particularly the case of the girl in the Taxi berating the driver you brought to our attention here.
There is always the possibility that it’s fake, of course, but it just looks like a typical attempt to provoke a reaction and then play the innocent party.

1. The things he says – Jews poison wells and murder European children, etc. – are so insane I feel the need to be cautious about accepting anything he says or does. This includes his making a video depicting himself as a reasonable, long-suffering, extraordinarily mild-mannered guy.
Subscribing to weird, paranoid conspiracy theories and coming across in person as reasonable and mild-mannered aren’t necessarily incompatible. Lots of people who met Hitler pre-WW2 came back gushing about what a great guy he was.

“Blatant exercise of female privilege. Talking all that shit knowing that she’ll never have to pay a price for it.”
Yes, because she chose a soft target: a middle class white guy. She’d not have gotten in the face of a black guy or an El Salvadorian like that.
The unpleasant woman claims to be “Mexican.” Funny, but she sounds Filipina. That suggests a performance – but maybe I’m wrong.
I thought the same thing.

“If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face negative response-inducing provocative internet / media trolling and manufactured outrage in service of political agendas – forever.”

I have no sympathy for Trump or his wall-building propensities, but this looks a lot like leftist fascism to me. And there’s a lot of it about here in the UK: http://bit.ly/2cvLtsR

This guy was very patient and handled some rerally unprovoked sh*t brilliantly, but he’s also a total antiSemitic nutbar, going on about Jews sacrificing children and Obama being an agent of international Jewish slave masters etc. ad nauseam (check out his youtube channel: https://youtu.be/nZ9muqi_Rbw).
So: this is a case of like calling to like. Put another way, the gravitational constant (G) is increased between two masses if both are assholes, such that they seem to attract each other. To be clear, his harassment is entirely indicative of the unreasoning and contemptible meltdown on the American left over Trump. But he’s a low wattage nut.

Wow! R Sherman what a great read.
“How do you define social justice warriors?
They’re the ones who weaponize compassion”
“What happens when the discourse itself becomes weaponized?
Errors accumulate, and chaos ensues. … If you interfere with the mechanism by which people formulate problems, solve them, and negotiate their implementation, then problems accrue and multiply.”

Just to be clear, I think threats from within to our freedoms and our way of life in general are far more likely to come from leftists at this point than from any other group. Anti-Semites and white supremacists are very much marginal figures when compared with left wingers in our culture. It may have been difficult to tell at one time who was more dangerous, Hitler or Stalin. However, today the leftists seem to pose the greater risk while neo-Nazis are isolated, fringe characters; although that doesn’t mean they are harmless.

Greg W,
I think you’re right.

The first five results I get for the first search here are:
. . . are a bunch of people claiming that their particular faith is to be the basis of all politics.
and for the second search:
. . . are a bunch of people claiming that their particular faith is to be the basis of all politics.
In short, the right wing.
Your point?

Isn’t this what they are always accusing (or at least fearing they will) Evangelical Christians of doing?
Yes. The differences being (in my fairly extensive experience discussing religion in person and on the net) that
a) all but the most unhinged (or very immature) Evangelicals will at least be polite about it all and
b) Evangelicals (even the most unhinged and immature) at least have a legitimate and explicit moral imperative, spelled out in their texts, to proselytize: it is (to them) for the good of the victim’s eternal soul. A pain, but it at least has a non-selfish excuse. The authoritarian left can’t even reasonably pretend that this sort of behavior is for the victim’s own good AND
c) to the authoritarian left, moral truth is wholly subjective, not based in an objective text, so this behavioral pattern isn’t even internally consistent. If moral truth is subjective, why isn’t Mr Anti-Semite MAGA here morally justified, and if he is, on what grounds can you harass him? It’s a clusterf*ck of idiocy and intellectual mendacity.

Isn’t this what they are always accusing (or at least fearing they will) Evangelical Christians of doing?
Christians who believe that they ought to found a political entity based on Christianity are way off base.
When Pilate interrogated Jesus to see if he were a political subversive—if he claimed kingship over the Jews—Jesus said in John 16:36 “My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.”
Jesus never aspired to create a political kingdom. The political entity called Christendom, which arose centuries after his death, was not an extension of Jesus’ teachings but rather according to the customs of men.
Spreading the Word and hoping to win converts is not an attempt to cobble together a political entity nor an intent to acquire political power.

My point was that one shouldn’t use dynamically-generated, individually-tailored pages of unknown content as evidence, as two operators will often find themselves seeing very different content at the same URL.
But perhaps my point should instead be that Hal is mendacious.

Very well, here are my assorted references.

Let’s face it, nobody was surprised when the wearer of that slogan (‘Build the Wall’) turned out to be a nazi, were they?
I for one was surprised. I assumed he was a normal guy until I decided out of curiosity to look at some of his other YouTube videos.
I’m not an American and I wouldn’t have worn any Trump related garb even if I were. However, I would support any humane, legal measure designed to curtail massive illegal immigration on the level the US is experiencing, including building a fence or wall if that were necessary. Remember, we’re not talking here of measures to keep people from leaving, including killing lots of them as East Germany, N Korea, Cuba and every other ultra-socialist regime has usually done. Any first world country with a border on the third world that takes no steps to prevent millions from migrating there illegally is asking for trouble.
I have no dog in this fight. I also have no prejudice against Latin Americans, or any other ethnic group for that matter. (Of course this is only so far as I am aware, but it’s after considerable self-examination on the matter.) However, Latin America’s serious problems will not be solved by exporting millions of people to the USA. Latin American nations already exist, and most of them are places many of their citizens want to escape from. Efforts should be directed by the Mexicans, for example, at reforming that somewhat corrupt, poverty stricken nation; not at turning large parts of the US into another Mexico.
And having seen the results in Cuba and Venezuela maybe socialist revolution isn’t the answer either.
