Comparing racism to an imaginary childhood monster seems pretty silly. Do you actually think it doesn't exist or what?

It’s a spook.

I mean OH is kinda right in a way at least. If this kind of public shaming keeps people from doing this kind of **** then it's not because they've become better people but because people are now scared of their fellow citizens surveilling them the same as they should be scared of the government spying on them. It might not be as Orwellian as OH is blowing it up to be, but watching these videos seems more like the mentality of watching reality TV than anything noble.

He's right in the sense that public shaming often ends up being disproportionately harsh. There's even a great book about it. He's just a bad advocate because he's constantly cheerleading racism.

Isn't that an ad hominem? Yeah he's a racist twat but I don't think anyone who's familiar with his constant rants about everything under the sun thinks he'd only be saying this to defend his fellow skinheads.

What I'm saying is he's poisoning his own well.

He might not be the best spokesmen for his cause but that's kind of the point. If he's right then whether or not that woman is a **** this is still a phenomenon that doesn't warrant anyone's time unless you're just enjoying it as TV. If we only stand up for people we like then are we not just a lynch mob?
