Yes his primary point was "Boo", with a secondary undertone of "Hoo". He wants to be able to hold strong opinions but doesn't have the balls to own those opinions so has made what can only be described as a "hissy fit" video about the people he perceives as "foolishly" not agreeing with his Ukippy ideals.
We appear to be baking some sort of "irony pie". Ironies upon ironies. It seems that people are so desperate to agree with him that they can plainly see and point out the irony in "exactly those he describes" appearing in the thread to do "exactly what he describes" (even though that hasn't actually happened) but fail to see the immediate and overwhelming irony in the video itself; a man complaining about individuals being lumped under the banner of "racists" in order to dismiss their opinions, whilst in the same breath lumping other individuals under the banner of "progressives" (here used as an obvious slur) in order to... what? Oh yes. In order to
dismiss their opinions.
The fact that he does this so easily and so quickly tells me all I need to know about his mindset.
1) People do something he doesn't like or doesn't agree with
2) He finds a lable for those people (in this case "progressives")
3) He makes "progressives" sound like a dirty word
4) He starts referring to those who he has lumped under his chosen term as "They", "Them", "Those People"
5) Add in some hyperbolic sweeping generalisations:
"As they've shown us time and again, there is literally no limit to how low they're prepared to sink."
--
"If not for double standards, they wouldn't have any standards",
--
"There is nothing liberal or decent about the progressive mentality",
--
"It's like shaking hands with a leper"
--
"These wretched people"
--
They they they them them them those people who aren't like meee.
Any of this starting to sound familiar at all? It bloody should. And this is why the accurate term for men like this is Xenophobic, not racist. He appears to dislike anything that is "different to him". In this case he has taken against those he has decided to term "progressives". I honestly despair for anyone who can't see this fellow for what he is.
It would almost be funny if it wasn't so overwhelmingly
sad to see a man of such advanced years blubbing like a worked-up 12 year old girl.
