    Wait, how is my video racist? There's no way you watched it in the amount of time since I posted it. So please, tell me why you feel the need to throw out threats of violence to me?

    The video does a great job examining the French election and has a lot of good points... nothing in it is racist you tool. You're just close minded and won't even dignify a counter opinion because you are getting taken to the cleaners with reasoning and evidence. You are a typical far lefty. The extreme type that can't handle anything, so you shout racist at things in hopes that you feigned offense will shelter you. Your ideology is flawed and you can't even handle when reality comes knocking.

    Why you not respond to my post? I feel so left out.
    You're the one who is adement about pushing an ideology(natiionlism) based on classical economic platitudes that you learned in some freshmen level economics class without any understanding of how the modern technology industry works.

    threats of violence for expressing ideas is so common among the tolerant left.

    vast right wing conspiracy

    Except it was a caution of what other folks might do and not a threat of something he would do.

    How did you make that distinction, it seemed intentionally vague. Even with your spin, the fact that posting a video about european politics results in an ass kicking from the left is quite telling.

    It also goes directly against all of the marginalization about what you have been posting in the berkeley thread.

    it doesn't go against that at all. It was merely a caution that people, not the poster himself might react violently to bigotry or intolerance. That's how I read it, and it seems clear. You can read into it anything you wish. I'm not sure why it was the left supposedly doing the ass kicking either but I didn't see the video. It doesn't show up on my screen at all.

    If you are taking it as a threat that if you walk around the streets of Houston, sit at a bar, restaurant, etc. and spew deep seeded racism, that you will probably get your butt kicked then so be it.

    It wont be "the left" you have to worry about. It will be the fact that Houston has a diverse population that would majorly take offense to people that have these positions. Just because you are protected from free speech doesn't mean you don't have responsibility to deal with the repercussions for what you say. That's what the people like Dach spreading alt-right propaganda don't seem to understand. Like when Milo said what he said... yeah he's free to say you think its a good thing that young boys get fondled, but it doesn't mean there won't be repercussions for your career, your job, or in general how you get scorned back in return.

    But if Dach wants to sit on the corner off of Telephone rd. and preach it than so be it. It wont be the Indivisible group, or Moveon.org liberals he'll have to worry about.

    The video is an Alt Right guy making a case against Macron. However he's a well known alt right guy who has made many other videos that piss off the internet, and facebook etc.

    What I was referring to was one video he did equating the African American Slave experience with that of Irish, Greek slave experiences etc. as a means for downplaying the American slave experience.

    This YouTube Alt-Righter also made the case at some point that Homosexuality is a product of sexual abuse. Real winner here.

    THESE are the type of guys that Dach gets his views from.

    South Korea has come a long way since the split of Korea. North Korea, not so much.

    Yes, because people can't come to conclusions on their own. Honestly, I'd say the same about you but there is no one quite as stupid as you to "get your views" from. You can't handle when people disagree, so you launch into a tirade claiming alt right this, racist that. Your mind is weak and you're just another person who can't handle rational discourse. Instead you stick with labeling others, which is a sign that you lost because you had no argument. Oh and also gotta love your thinly veiled threats of violence when you can't handle yourself. You're all class.

    I'm still waiting for you to tell me why that video was racist, but you're likely just googling blogs to find someone else's critique of the guy.

    If it is clear, point out the bigotry and intolerance in the post he replied to. From what I saw it was an hour long video on the topic of the thread. It completely goes against the idea that everyone is allowed to have their own opinion and it was just a small number of thugs that didn't feel that way. You are right now defending threats of violence for discussion.

    Typical Space Ghost mentality. Read something on the internet, have no idea its source or that it's a bizarre conspiracy theory started by the right, and then blame "the left" for something that's not even happening. Run away from the facts, repeat in the next thread. Claim that he's the arbiter of truth and bipartisanism.

    I like the fact that in your world telephone road is the mean streets and that we are "protected from free speech" but you are also perfectly OK with people being beat for expressing ideas and that no public services (ie law enforcement) should be preventing this.

    The reality is he post a european politics video on a debate and discussion forum and you "warned" him (because you care) that if videos like that continue to be posted there will be violent repercussions. You are heavily in the favor of the marketplace of ideas, I can tell.

    Good Lord. You are the guys posting prop videos of a guy who equates the African American experience with the history of the Irish and Greeks and you want to jump down my throat and call me an "ideologue" among other names for calling you out for spewing racist nonsense.

    But as I said this thread had become a one man LePen promo so have at it.

    Haha...Wtf are you talking about? Im talking about actually having the guts to express your views and deal with the reprecussions. Milo talked about fondling boys, and while he's free to say what he wants, he's now never going to have to live with that fact above his head.

    I'm speaking to the fact (as someone who grew up in south Houston) that if you were to say what you are saying without the comfort of the internet, let's say to a diverse crowd like south Houston, people that are diverse would take offense.

    If I offended any of my former friends I grew up in the area that still live down there that IM SURE would act with restraint and respect your 1st amendment rights, I apologize to them for thinking they might do otherwise.

    By all means PLEASE do it. It's not a warning. I encourage you. Go to south Houston and preach the alt right talking points about white nationalism. I'm sure it will go over well. You have my word.

    Who is promoting white nationalism? You've lost the mark man. There is a big difference between promoting national interests and white nationalism. And why would I go to South Houston to talk about European politics? Lol.
