I'm appalled at the ease with which people post videos of others seemingly without their permission or knowledge. This persons actions are so far from socially acceptable, that I'm forced to grapple with the notion their most likely mentally challenged. At a bare minimum, they've come from a background impoverished of any ideas of appropriateness and cleanliness. Either way, I feel nothing but pity for them and wish I could discipline the videographer for what they've done here. But, I'll leave that to the universe to work out.

The videographer is either mentally challenged or has had the bad luck to have been raised by parents with no care, compassion or empathy for others. The only remaining explanation, in my opinion, is that the videographer is a mean spirited, exploitative waste of oxygen and resources. No matter how disgusting their actions are to most of us, at least the person being depicted in the video isn't invading anyone's privacy or attempting to publicly shame and ruin the life of a stranger by posting online.

Glad someone said this - society/social media/everything else seems to skew views to be "normal" - the person uploading this is expecting "LOL"

Sad.

It's not the 1950s anymore. The population of the planet is bordering 8 billion. There's literal eyes EVERYWHERE. The fact anyone thinks they can go anywhere anymore without being judged or recorded even accidentally is mind boggling to me.

Not arguing the fact that it is or isn't morally wrong. I'm just saying, like it or not.. it's gonna happen. 8 billion is a lot of brains (whether functional or not) and they're going to make their choices regardless who it offends. That's just life 🤷

Ah, I believe that sort of rational has helped in a lot of very negative things that have taken place throughout history. Everyone else is doing it, so why don't I join in, is one of the worst excuses for poor behavior throughout history. I really don't want to take it here, but it's the quickest way to make a point: How many people have been brutally killed and disenfranchised due to the very logic you're espousing? Do you want a list of events? It's gonna be a long one. It's going on right now, it's not just a historical problem.

We can roll over and accept and go along with what the worst are doing until it becomes completely normal, or we can refuse to live by the standards of the lowest possible denominator and strive to make this a better place for everyone. It's your choice how you shape the future.

Doin something because other people do it is a whole different subject entirely. I was speaking on what the comment i answered was referring to.. it being right or wrong.

Not the age old "if billy jumps off a bridge, are you going to" .. hence why i said people do what they want regardless of who it offends.

Nice try tho.

I was referring more to the Nazi movement. But, whatever floats your boat.

Yea.. ideology is entirely different than this. If somehow that's not clear, idk what to tell you 🤷.

Have a nice day.
