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.

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!!   

[petrus4]

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When will people grow up and accept that the left/right paradigm is outdated and manipulated to cash in political and psychological polarisation, designed to divide and conquer.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.

Okay, I'm just going to label the girl "pinhead". How does that work for you?   

[ArMaP]

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by that.
