Man is harassed in the clubhouse of an apartment complex by two obnoxious people because he is wearing a #BuildTheWall T-shirt.

LMAO The guy allowed that to happen because he had no idea what to say in his defense. I would have given them the real answer and remind them they are free to F-off if they don't like it. And so what if he said he was racist, what then? They try to convince him not to be? Definitely would have been a much more entertaining video if I was in that seat. :P

To me is just more proof of how hypocritical and nasty the left is.
I, too, would not have been so passive.
There is an extreme need to "build the wall", but the wall and enforced laws will not overcome the "demonstrated ignorance" like these who slanderously attacked this person in the video, just because of a T-shirt.
This is very representative of what is common for leftists, in not actually understanding of just how stupidly they sometimes present themselves to be, simply with what they say and and how they say things!! :o :o
Leftists disapprove of the fundamental values or ethics that they often see exhibited by the Right, but they continue to use the authoritarian physical or psychological tactics of the extreme or fascist Right, in order to achieve their objectives.
They do not understand that the choice of tactics, in practical terms, is an outgrowth of the underlying philosophy. They further do not understand, that if philosophy and tactics conflict, then it is just as likely for the tactics to influence the philosophy, as for the philosophy to influence the tactics.
Putting this in less abstract terms; as we have seen, the Left can claim that they want to get rid of any form of hatred being expressed towards any individuals or groups. This is a noble desired end; however, we have unfortunately also seen the Left persue it, by engaging in physical violence towards those groups or individuals who they consider hateful.
The ends can not, and do not justify the means. If, in the process of accomplishing a given task, methods are chosen which are in fact antithetical to the required conditions for achieving said objective, then it will not be achieved. It will be subverted, and a very different result will occur instead.
When will people grow up and accept that the left/right paradigm is outdated and manipulated to cash in political and psychological polarisation, designed to divide and conquer.
Right now I see extremes emerging on the right, and on the left.
Both are deplorable... and I'm left wondering where all the sane people are.
Most the people here have aligned them selves with the Alt Right...which is not a coincidence I'm sure..
I personally think you are all barking mad.
(For not transcending preconceived political ideologies, which I assess to primitive, driven by the Id no less)
I don't know about anyone else, but I haven't seen anyone on the right behaving this way, in your face and mean.
I've seen some regrettable behavior by Trump supporters, the "heil" sign and some smug announcements about his win, but nothing like what happens in this video. This was a personal attack and completely out of line in a country where we prize the First Amendment.
The fact of the matter in this case is that "The Wall" is not ABOUT RACISM! He could have explained what it was about and diffused the situation OR he could have just the same sent them into a rage on purpose as I likely would have done just for entertainment (but that's just me).

Yeah, I gotta confess, I got a kick out of thinking about winding them up, but years of working in LE put the brakes on that temptation.
I'm ruined. ::)
The idiocy is that Mexico is flirting with becoming a failed state, full of narcoterrorists, vigilantes and corrupt officials.
A wall might become an absolute necessity.

From what I have seen, the definition of "left" and "right" in the US is slightly different, as with most things related to politics, so it doesn't have a real parallel on this side of the Atlantic.
As in most things, they only have extremes, so they use opposing names, but it doesn't really mean that those names are the correct ones.

The LEFT never was this bad
I was left I supported Trudeau in the 70's and he did great.
But seems the last few years they have become stupid to the extreme, don't have a clue about any real facts and are just blind sheep following some leader with an agenda to disrupt..
I think it is because the have way to much free time on their hands and way to much freebies They don't have a clue what real work is all about and would need councelling if they had to get a real job
Now imagine what would happen if you extrapolate this scenario to an Abundance paradigm :P Multiply what you see at least 10 fold
Idle hands and Adeled Brains are truly the Devil's Tools :P
(Figure of speech "Devil" does not infer Lucifer :D )
abundance paradigm came out of left field!
wow!
i was just about to say,trolling done right,is a very useful brain practice.and a real rush; )

The millenials have been spoon fed and had their tails wiped for them from the cradle all the way to college ::)
In the last 6 years I have went thru a good dozen of them; they want and expect to make more than I do(and last time I looked I was the operations manager and #3 behind the prez and vice prez) want someone to do the work for them, and have a wailing hissy fit if they get their hands dirty... not to mention that they don't have any idea at all how to do anything besides piss and moan...
and what really chaps my ass is they have been taught and fully believe we
owe them a living...

The country is in big trouble when the boomers and the few genx'ers worth a damn retire or die off...

maybe its from the sea of disinformation in the world today.
it still astounds me how we have almost infinite access to knowledge in our hand and folks still just dont care or have a clue ¿

Sinny, in my experience the divide does exist.
The Right don't walk around naked in public, because they realise that the human body very often is a genuinely ugly thing.
The Right don't defecate on cars during protests, or again publically defecate and smear fecal matter all over photos of politicians they don't like.
The Right aren't obsessed with political correctness, and their speech is not filled with invented neologisms.
Other than in the case of veterans with PTSD, who apparently are literally neurologically incapable of changing their opinions, most conservatives I've spoken to also will not either attempt to censor me, or dismiss me out of hand for expressing an opinion that they don't like.
In general terms, in my experience the Right believe in civility as a virtue. Sometimes there is a negative scenario where said civility is considered more important than compassion or real kindness, and that is not a good thing either; but neither is a scenario where people believe that they can be as animalistic or unhygienic as they like, as long as they are expressing socially permissible opinions.
The Right also believe in self-restraint as a vital element of sexual health. That isn't about bigotry necessarily; it's about refraining from irresponsible behaviour that increases the likelihood of receiving sexually transmitted disease.

I primarily blame social media and smartphones for this. There is absolutely an adamant corporate campaign to reduce human intelligence as much as possible, so that we don't do anything other than passively consume.

Robo, I am a millwright/fabricator/operator/mechanical engineer; the primary focus of my company is automotive and industrial shop construction and installations from bare earth to ready to work: air,oil,grease,exhaust systems, In ground and above ground lifts from the pad lifts at tire shops to the 100,000 lb capacity parallelogram lifts for bus shops and the military...
And that is just the tip of the iceberg...it takes about 2 years of OJT to become proficient as one of my installers...
