no its not a question of that at all

 

 

IMO, it is because you can see it either as mockery or satire. Sometimes I think he does overstep the line and other times he hits the nail on the head.

well it would depend on the motivation of the person doing the act

 

If they are performing the act ultimately out of love with a view to waking people up then i think its forgivable but if it is born out of a contempt for people and an enjoyment out of disrupting their inner peace then i think that is morally reprehensible

 

In some of the street performance he does, he does visibly get people to think more critically and they walk away and you can see from the way they talk and act that they found the experience useful. Some people get angry, a whole array of actions, but like I say, I don't agree with everything he does. Sometimes, he gets huge crowds listening and they have a really good time and are well entertained. Sometimes, he gets attacked and his performance flops. With him, you never know.

 

The original post I made, with the video, got quite a good number of likes, so some people do like what he does.

i just find it very unbritish to go around in public shouting at people in an entitled way where they are actually secretly mocking and filming the people in question

 

i think it suggests a person who sees themself as apart from the people who are the butt of the joke....somehow above them

 

other performers who have done this include sacha baron cohen and dennis penis

he will not have stopped a single member of the general public from taking the jab

 

He may have done in other videos, but I think in this particular video, he wanted to see how many people are going along with the Covid agenda, and to what extent, and that was very revealing, in and of itself.

 

It was also very shocking and sad to see how many people didn't react badly to him and just passively accepted his presence. I think the pointy finger man was a bit over zealous and too aggressive, but like I said, I did have some sympathy because, obviously, so much is at stake for our future.

british people generally go about their business quietly and don't make a fuss

the guy might have lost a loved one to the jabs, or they might have lost their job, or they may be psychologically exhausted by the lockdowns or their wife may have just suffered a miscarriage after having the jabs

 

This is why its rude to dehumanise people in that way and i think its born out of a contempt for the british people

So at what point should people object to someone demanding to see Covid papers?

 

Like I said, He's just raising questions. He wasn't breaking the law or harming anyone.

britain is not a 'let me see your papers' kind of country and if people disagree with that then i guess we will deal with them in the same way we dealt with the nazis

how do you know he didn't harm people? One guy was clearly upset and many others may have quietly swallowed their distress

OMG, subliminal is everywhere!!

I didn't see this until you've pointed out but had to look carefully for a few second......because it's not giant but I'd call it small. 😆

 

Let's be honest, the muzzled look like they have a huge dick on the side of their faces.

The two lines of the string and the ear itself form the perfect image of one.

i'm not the only person who has expressed their misgivings about the guy

 

Like I said, I don't always find his videos interesting and he often splits opinion, but a lot of people do watch his videos, and stand in the street to watch him. Some laugh, some get angry and upset, and some people start thinking and want to know more about his view of things. He's a complex person.

Some will agree and some disagree, so I'll make up my own mind.

 

not everyone is bright enough to see it right enough

 

it does take a fair bit of context sometimes to see these things in their proper light. I have put in a lot of time learning that context

Good, but I can still make up my own mind.
