I thought it was already bad, but he was seriously claiming to be walking down Oxford Street?!
Yes, Oxford street. The one with the build-a-bear workshop and Disney store.
That street for some reason has become an exceedingly common target for anti-woke, anti-muslim influencers. I even saw a person on Facebook saying "I'm about to head into Oxford Street.. Wish me good luck" in complete seriousness. The comments were a mix of people attacking arabs and indians.
Probably because it's the only London street that fake-Brits stirring shit can name...
Yep. No actual Brit would say "wish me good luck."
Americans don't even say that, we say "wish me luck".
Which is a fair thing to say for Oxford street, might be crushed by all the tourists
Growing up in NYC, I might sarcastically say "wish me luck" if I had to go through Times Square.
Not because it was dangerous, but because of a ton of tourists who don't know how to walk in a city (abruptly stopping in the middle of the sidewalk to look at a map, zigzagging and getting in people's way, etc).
As a non-American, every photo I’ve seen of Times Square seems to show the single most uncoordinated crowded place in USA haha
U can see this edited pic bs ain’t really a dodgy street, bc no one’s immediately stolen the wheels, handlebars & battery pack off that chained up bike
I live in a massive tourist city in the US and we get 1.8 million a year and 1 mil of that is just in October so the uncoordinated crowd isn’t limited to NYC 😂
Oxford street, Times Square, the Magnificent Mile, and Pike Place are dangerous, but not for the reason that the racists say they are.
Monty Python climbing it was a good bit too.
(I was one of the people who spotted the "ai Arabic" on his thumbnail originally so I'm glad the story's getting around - those geoguessr people were even faster to find him than us language people lol)
They can spot an isolated village in Siberia based on a few trees.
Personally I've taken to "if I don't come back avenge my death."
It'd be nice to think someone might go John Wick for me.
Are you a small dog, though?
Am I a small dog? No. Am I the last momento somebody has of their dead wife? Only if he finds out she cheated... and she dies.
Sounds like you should be more worried about being John Wicked in the bad way.
This is not true. Many good British persons from London Oblast use these phrasings.
Where is that exactly, next to the Texas warm water port?
lmao 😭
Yes tovaris-i mean mate! I also hear many British governors say this to me while I work my shift at pork pie mine to earn quids to buy rock and roll record.
They would say, "Hope I come out luvvly jubbly and cock-a-hoop."
[deleted]
is this guy just angry that there are non white tourists? I'm confused
yes
Funny because Kurt Caz is a white South African that travels to Latin America, Africa and Asia "to discover spots off the beaten path" aka pick up women and basically do sex tourism. Just like that British tosser BaldandBankrupt or Norwegian Harald Baldr they all went down the anti-immigrant, right wing grift route because it's more lucrative.
As a dumb American, the only London road I know is Abbey Road.... for what I hope are obvious reasons.
I remember reading that the crosswalk where they did the infamous cover art was a huge pain in the ass for london back then.
I can add on Downing St.
And Piccadilly Circus (if that counts).
Fleet Street (Sweeney Todd)
Savile row (world famous for suits)
Shaftesbury avenue (west end theaters)
Baker street 🎷
Come on, now. Not all of them are fake Brits. Some of them are just fucking hayseeds who never leave their village.
On second thoughts, people might say wish me luck when they're heading down to Oxford Street... But only because it's so insanely crowded and busy with tourists and shoppers that it needed to be pedestrianised years ago
Oh, for sure. Don't get me wrong, Oxford street is a *mess*, but only for the same reasons Times Square or any big tourist area is.
Saying "wish me luck" so I don't go insane from all the buskers playing Steelpans.
It was lovely during pandemic, especially when restaurants down dean street and that were using the road space
A few years back some American YouTube channels would drive around and record absolutely anything that looked Muslim to them. They would all freak out every time they saw anything. Restaurants really got them pissed off. I can't understand any of it. For about 15 years I lived a block away from a mosque. My kids grew up playing with Muslim kids. Their best friends throughout elementary and high school were a family from Eritrea. They loved the Injera bread their mother made.
When it was stirred up here in Australia, I remember my MiL saying to me, "oh I'd be concerned if they built a mosque in the neighbourhood." I remember laughing my arse off and saying, "haven't you lived here for 30 years?" She said yes and I said, "there has been a mosque two streets over longer than you! You've probably never noticed because half of it is the community centre, it's next to the Chinese restaurant!" She huffed and puffed and asked around and then never brought it up again.
She's expecting every mosque to look like the Masjid Al-Haram
Fuck, if only. Modern box architecture is the real tragedy.
Another Hagia Sophia might be a nice addition...
Even in fucking Mexico of all places they've started to do this.
Our Muslim community is miniscule. I'm talking fewer than 10 thousand people, slightly over 0.007% of the population.
And still, when 18 members of a Palestinian family came as refugees earlier this year, they were screaming "Invasion! Replacement!"
Imagine being upset about some of the tastiest food on the planet. What a bunch of cry babies.
There are in fairness, some areas that are minority white. We hosted a woman from an area like that for a few weeks in our farm. She grew up with Pakistani, African, Jamaica in etc neighbours far more so than white neighbours.
An boy could she cook!! Amazing cultural global dishes. Thank god for diversity.
The kind of conservatives who eat up this propaganda will never actually go visit a city themselves. The grifters know this, so they can make up whatever they want, sprinkled with the occasional true story to lend authenticity.
I've said it before and I'll undoubtedly say it again soon: Conservatives (especially men) are terrified of cities. Absolutely terrified.
why though? This is a good point. All of these losers live in some remote ranches, driving huge pick-up trucks, shooting beer cans in their back yard and working on a basement project for the off-the-grid end of the world or smth
They just hate seeing diverse people or what
Culture shock. It’s the first time in their life they have to be the one accomodated instead of the one with the power to exclude and ostracize. They know they’re starting every interaction on the back foot and they feel powerless.
Add on the years of fearmongering about cities being full of violent crime, those moments of social awkwardness become a self fulfilling prophecy about immigrants and social decay. “I’m not supposed to be scared on American soil. I’m the top dog. The breadwinner. Being stressed and overwhelmed by new experiences challenges my authority as a man.”
Cities are economic and cultural powerhouses compared to fly over country, so in the back of their mind they’re constantly trying to claw back political relevance for the identity they’ve built for themselves. That’s why they can tolerate the good ones in their own communities but are afraid of diverse neighborhoods.
My parents were former hillbillies who moved to a major city a couple years before I was born. I used to spend school breaks with my extended family and it was forever a culture shock how hierarchical small towns are.
There's none of that in the city. Nobody gives a shit about "my grandpappy built that building over there" or "I'm a [last name]" or "we own that big blue house off Yonder Road." If you run into someone who doesn't like you for whatever reason, you probably won't ever see that asshole again.
From what I've seen of my cousins, it's not always just about realizing they can't exclude and ostracize. It's often also the overwhelming fear that they can be themselves. I think a number of them who visit the city really like it but see the event horizon. They can be themselves, they can live amongst all these people and find their own, but then they won't truly ever go home to the same home again. Their standing in the small town will be destroyed. It fills them with a terror that makes them lash out.
It’s not that deep. Most of the time they just don’t like minorities
Conservative media blasts non-stop that cities are an active war zone. I grew up in rural Wisconsin, and after graduating I got a job in Minneapolis. A friend of mine whose parents are far right wing and have conservative fear-porn on 24/7 called to beg me to turn down the job because I'll get murdered. His parents talk about it like it's Auschwitz for white people. I visited him a few months later and he was surprised I hadn't witnessed even a single murder.
The propaganda keeps his parents so terrified that they're afraid of their own shadows for being black. It's a short hop from ignorant and scared to angry and hateful. Eventually he caught on that his parents were just high on a cocktail of racism, conspiracism, and ignorance. Now he comes to visit me more often than I go to visit him.
I truly fear what the future might hold for people like this. It is way easier to motivate someone to violence when they are petrified that they are going to be killed by roving gangs of [insert this month's top minority scapegoat here]. Already you have AI videos of black women committing crimes or obese people yelling about SNAP benefits being cut getting popular with this crowd because they would rather live in a fantasy world where their fear and hate is justified than in a society where they have to accept that other people and the ways they live are equally valid. I was a teenager during most of the Bush years and even the most bootlicking administration mouthpiece from that era would be mortified to lie about objective reality as casually as Leavitt, Hegseth and the rest of these fascist orbiters do. We're past the event horizon and none of the institutions in our country are riding to our rescue. It's hard to see how this gets better from here.
After twitter exposed all the bots commenting from other countries they all switched to reddit and now we are flooded with them.
Reddit was always flooded with them.
It's much much worse now. Reddit is also banning people for pointing out nazism. This place is becoming a worse 4chan pretty fast.
That's been happening since 2016. Some political subs are literally ran by foreign intelligence agency.
Reddit is actually pretty unique in the social media world in that during the mid 2010s with Gamergate and the various X In Action subs, it was looking to be headed down the same path of reactionary capture that we're now seeing on Twitter, but it... didn't? At least, not yet.
Banning things like The_Donald and other hate subreddits actually did a very good job in pushing the worst of the scumbags off the site for good.
The recent ability to hide your post history is only to protect bits and trolls
Yes. He knows his right wing audience is as thick as fuck. He treats them with the contempt they deserve: they're barely sentient, dribbling slabs of ham. Any rational adult would exercise their brain here. His audience is not the normal. decent human being: it's the virulently stupid, dribbling gammon who voted to make all our lives worse by destroying our relationship with the world's most successful trading bloc, and who are intent on making everyone's lives worse by voting for Reform. They're just subhuman scum. It's not worth trying to engage rationally with them.
I wonder where he'll go next, the sheer nightmarish hell of whitstable, where an indian restaurant added a dish with 5 chilli symbols instead of the normal 3, or maybe he'll visit lincoln cathedral, where a barbershop opened. It's staff is entirely white, but one of them has a greek surname, so that's scary.
I'm sure it was filmed in Croydon not Oxford Street
Thats DEF not Oxford Street.
He's done it on Oxford street too. An old lady called him out for talking shit and he followed her, hassling her for a while.
Pretty on-brand for a Farage cultist, honestly.
He was in Oxford street at one point because I saw a video of someone mocking the dumb things he was saying walking down it.
OP said in the description that it is indeed Croydon.
One of the most iconic and most travelled streets in the world, and this guy was trying to pretend he was walking down it and that nobody would notice it wasn’t even in London.
Croydon is in London, technically. London just sort of grows and envelops more and more surrounded towns and converts them to suburbs
What's worse is in the actual video, the guy on the bike is actually a fan of this YouTuber.
I'm actually glad to hear that. At first I felt bad for the friendly-looking Black guy, getting made to look "scary" by the costume AI bullshit, but now... I don't feel bad. You lie down with Nazi dogs, you get up with fleas.
Not a fan of this dude, but my dad was along with a couple other travel vloggers. From what I've seen he used to actually seem decent and pretty cool. Only recently did he become a weirdo fuck on camera at least. I imagine dude just knew him from his previous content.
So he (Caz) just flipped really recently? I guess I can see that. In America, a lot of people have let their inner Nazi fly, now that it's approved by the top levels. My understanding is that the far right is also gaining a lot of power in Europe as well and people and politicians are emboldened to keep pushing the line.
It sucks when you like someone and then you find out they're secretly evil (Neil Gaiman turned out to be a POS).
Yes it was very recent. He's been doing vids for years and I would sometimes see his vids and while I wasn't a fan, in the vids I saw he just seemed pretty chill, albeit a sexpat. Now he's doing far-right neo-nazi content going through Europe complaining about non-white people, such as when he recently went to Italy and saw a bunch of immigrants and said "I'm more Italian than everyone here" and basically toting the great replacement theory
I was shocked because it was a complete 180 from what I was familiar with him with. And I only found out through social media what his content now is like
Sexpat? That’s my first time hearing the term, but it seems fitting. When I first started watching his videos, I didn’t think much of the women he would encounter in each country, and then I realized that he was just an Andrew Tate-ish travel Vlogger exploiting the countries he would visit and then talk crap about the things he didn’t like after f__king their women.
He was probably a fan of his old travel videos, I was too until I realised he is a Nazi POS...now I hate him
Yeah, it's crazy how quickly some influencers turn on a dime. But I guess since their videos are (obviously) highly curated and edited, they can hide the crazy until it become profitable or in fashion.
My favorite thing about this is the black dude just smiling from the bottom of his heart in the real picture. Can't help but wonder what went through his head while editing, any selfawareness?
The black man on the bike recognized him and told him he was a fan. The YouTuber then asked him to do a wheelie.
Lmao wow. He must feel so shit about himself after seeing this
He should lol, dude is a sex tourism youtuber
Nah come on putting ethnic girls in thumbnails and saying they’re going to her house isn’t implicating anything, they probably just have tea and crumpets and watch snooker
This guy and Bald and Bankrupt, same shit different flavours
Add Timmy in there too. But tbh even without being creeps, there’s something about being travel vloggers for a long time that makes these guys not just dumb, but confident in their ignorance. Like being well traveled is a substitute for intelligence.
I hate falling for bullshit. I thought B&B was such a genuine dude and respected him. Sucked when I learned the truth about him.
Fuck everything.
What happened with b&b? Not a follower of his by any means, but aware of who he is.
He was way before his youtube channel a sex tourist on an old dead forum devoted for sex tourism
Buddy of mine keeps wanting me to watch bald and bankrupt stuff but I can’t stand the guy. He went to Ukraine to show that there was not going to be a war and it was just the media trying to scare people, but then Russia really did get invaded and him and his buddy had to take up a spot in a bus to get out of the country safely.
If he was capable of those emotions he wouldn't be a fan.
Keep in mind that Kurt Caz, the YouTuber in question made a sudden change to this type of content.
Prior to this he made genuine travel content going into some of the most dangerous places in South America alone. Some would argue that he is also a sex tourist as many beautiful women feature in his videos.
I was a fan until he started inserting right wing talking points into his videos. He then took a bit of a break and came back full fascist. Even meeting up with fascist YouTubers in Europe so they could harass immigrants.
All that to say, it’s understandable why some people would still consider themselves fans as they haven’t seen his new work yet unless they’re following him religiously.
He was probably always like that off camera. Only that nowadays that isn't viewed as bad as before so he has shown his true colors
That’s a good assessment. Looking back at some of his older videos and you could see the clues. He’s just more forthcoming now, due to the popularity of this behavior.
my favorite vid of his went he to the Brazil favellas and just hanged out with the locals he seemed genuine at the time, I guess money is starting to run out if he has to pander
I believe his money problems began when he got a “manager.” That’s when he started really pumping out the ads and the vlogs about his travel experiences.
Wow, I had no idea. I watched him from the beginning to some point where he became tiresome with just staying in ultra plush high rises and sleeping with women.
I'll unsubscribe now, though I haven't watched an episode in some time.
He always came off as arrogant and a little dull but I didn't realize he'd become a complete dullard.
I can't tell if you're kidding or not...
Nah it's true, look up the original video.
That is some awful editing. Wow
His followers won't notice, it confirms their prejudices.
One of the few times I've been downvoted to shit was in a thread of people defending this douche. Saying he was doing good by showing how much these places have declined.
Well whatyyaknow he actually is just a racist shitbag.
Link to thread
He will get footage of him innocently walking, then very obviously film people who don't want to be filmed to intentionally find them up, then cut that part out but include the footage of him being chased down by them for filming.
The sign on the right looks like it's for an Arabic death metal band
It’s not even real Arabic letters
Anti-woke and wears nordic runes
Big red flags for white supremacy there. The vikings were violent immigrants. I wonder why this guy gives them a pass but not West Asians... 🤔
It’s white on the tip of my tongue
I can Nazi what the problem might be
He's literally a white south african guy who thinks he has a right to kick immigrants out of europe...
The moment Elon Musk came into the picture, White South African males showed up everywhere trying to turn the US and Europe into Old apartheid South Africa. That is their vision of heaven.
I’m really curious what this guy’s opinion on the St. Brice’s Day massacre, when a couple hundreds of Danes, most of whom were men or boys of military age, were targeted and killed while they were defenseless, as a result of persistent Viking raids that led to a controversial decree by the king, calling for a “most just extermination of…Danes, who sprung up in this island, sprouting like cockle amongst the wheat”.
That's ELDER FUTHARK which is german not nordic, but those aren't all real runes, it's just the word CONQUEST meant to look like runes. The bind rune in the middle doesn't exist in Elder futhark, or the Scandinavian younger futhark.
Ransacking vikings couldn't read and barely used runes.
Most Vikings were travelling merchants and fisherman taking water ways through central europe, and not warmongering.
The danelaw is not the entirety of viking history.
But yeah fuck this guy lol.
It's not German! It's proto germanic, and that is a huge difference.
Also the Norse did use the alphabet, it's just that also the pre-Christian Germanics did as well.
Youre not wrong, and I'm not disagreeing with you. Unfortunately, popular understanding of Northern European culture in that era is heavily tainted by the huge amounts of propaganda the Nazis churned out during the second World War. That's why you get so many white supremacists wearing runes, and/or practicing a perverse interpretation of Norse spiritualism (especially like wearing colonial slogans like "conquest". That imo is another red flag).
With regards to my statement about vikings being violent immigrants was specifically targeted at their impact on the UK. I'm sure there were lots of vikings here that were just living their lives, but it doesn't lessen the terror of their destruction of monasteries or their outright attempts to violently seize control (I'm looking at you Harald Hardrada). That's their legacy here, whatever they were doing in the rest of Europe.
Being a white guy from South Africa too.
And half German, like Peter Thiel, dudes grandparents or great grandparents were for sure Nazis
I'm aware of a guy who went to a restaurant near me with a bunch of Nordic rune tattoos. Yeah, those ones, the ones that show up frequently when you Google "Nazi symbols". Also has a singular "S" tattoo on each arm, presumably to be put together, considering the styling is exactly what you'd think.
I really have to wonder what kind of tattooist does those kinds of tattoos. Surely they're not flying those under the radar.
The Nazi kind of tattooist. Its not like owning a tattoo gun is somehow counter to being a nazi. Lots of nazis are tatted up.
yah, back in the day some black metal nazis owned a tattoo shop on the premises of an old butcher shop in rural east germany. that's the kind of place mouthbreathers get their swastika and 'division brandenburg' etc. tattoos.
they also stole a horse from the pasture, butchered it in their shop and sold the meat to horse meat lovers. just lovely people.
There are professional quality tattooists that do sketchy work not in a shop. Sadly I bet one willing to do Nazi bullshit spreads by word of mouth to all of them.
I did hear that if you're a tattoo artist and willing to do a Nazi tattoo suddenly all of your clientele will be Nazis who heard you'll give them their swastika/SS tattoo.
I unfortunately have a bunch of rune tattoos (including the ‘S’, sowilo by itself) and really want it get it covered or spelled into words now. I got them when I was younger and into the divination aspect of them- especially being a very tall Nordic descendant person. I hate that this history and iconography is used by white supremacy groups so much. Ugh.
Yeah I have a friend who has a bunch of Nordic tattoos that actually are actually pretty lovely and meaningful but it really spoils it for him being associated with these sorts of pricks.
All my tattoos are Norse knotwork, a single rune stave and a couple of good masks, all from a spiritual aspect. I've only had someone question the meaning in this context once, to which I calmly explained the historical and spiritual connotations, how it had and still has nothing to do with race and that I am absolutely not racist. They were happy with the explanation and I've never had anything since.
Does this kinda thing happen often for you, or is it more from an anxiety view (speaking as someone who has suffered with anxiety)? Not judging, sincerely just want to help you feel more comfortable if I can.
You shouldn't feel bad because a few fucktards out there misuse something. Most people don't auto assume you'd be racist if they see runes, just as most people bearing runes aren't racist. There will always be a few dickheads abusing stuff, but that's true of everything, not limited to runes. The best way to counter that is educating the social media space.
This might be different in eastern Europe and the US where folkism is bigger, I can't say for sure there. But in the UK, the Heathen community went to great lengths to stamp out racism and make it inclusive, and they're still working to block the American AFA (a US white supremacist group) who keep trying to start a branch in the UK. I've personally only met 2 racists within UK Heathenry, they had moved from the US, were big Trump fans, and were quickly kicked out and blacklisted.
But those kind of kind people love that shit. They think they're vikings for being a dickhead.
Gods damn it, I can't just be a Norse mythology nerd without feeling weird about it anymore. Nothing ruins a fandom quite like its absolute worst fans, especially when their worst fans are literal Nazis.
Roman history nerd here, I feel you.
YouTube algorithm: "oh, you think Rome is interesting? How about ✨r a c e t h e o r y?✨"
I used to love Roman History until the incels appropriated it. I still like it but it's just not the same anymore :(
https://np.reddit.com/r/NorsePaganism/s/4IZrscrgso
Ironic... he had to photoshop a foreign language on the sign to complain about immigrants, but he's promoting a foreign language with his shirt.
Curt used to post decent stuff, some of it was a little suspicious, but did a lot of vids where he was just randomly exploring places but now he’s gone the path of the “chad far right” dude, shame brah
Was gonna say the same. Really enjoyed some of his travel content a while back. Bizarre to see this kind of stuff.
The problem is, he's always been a dickhead, he's just now owning it and we're realising it. His attitude towards women is actually pretty gross, he clearly sees them as disposable and purely there to satisfy him.
Yeah when I would watch his earlier videos he did come off as a bit sus but he's definitely shown who he is now. Shame he had cool videos of not so often seen places.
Around the pandemic he went mask off, figuratively and literally. He finally found he had to follow rules in poor countries, and even that one little rule (wear a mask to protect our vulnerable citizens) was too much for him. He’s there to film poverty and fulfill his racial fetishes goddammit! Not to be deprived of oxygen!!1!
There's a whole weird community of sex tourism guys like this chap, they've had forums and stuff for decades, it's a bit of an eye-opener about some of these travel YouTubers when you find that out
Yes, I used to enjoy his videos around 2021-2022. They felt so amateur and real. But I must say he was showing sign of far right since back then. I remember him saying that he was anti mask during 2021.
Also heard rumors that he’s a bit of a sexpat which is disappointing but not surprising given his personality.
Many of these famous youtube travelers go to the same places. Hotspots for... not so good sexual tourism.
I mean that’s pretty obvious in his Brazil and Manaus trip.
rumors? literally everything ive seen from him is gross sex tourism content showing off the young girls he pays for so his loser as fans call him a chad and a conqueror
rumors? brother he's pretty openly documented in every way except saying i'm travelling to fuck prostitutes lmao
My YouTube algorithm threw up a travel vlogger recommendation a couple of years ago. Started watching, got bad vibes within the first few minutes. Paused, did a quick search and yeah, turns out he was a sex tourist. Millions of subscribers though.
Bald & Bankrupt? He's a real piece of shit. Was a suspect in a gang rape trial in the UK years back. Case was thrown out because they could prove which in the gang had actually commited the rape.
Rings a bell.
he's a sex pest like bald & bankrupt
Right wing grifting is where the money is rn, he’s still a passport bro who goes to poorer countries and picks up women though
Yep. Unfollowed after he started the garbage political commentary.
fake ass arabic
I’m just gonna pop down to the AALG shop
The one next to it looks like the inscription on the one ring.
Muslims are so dangerous in my town they stepped in and let the Post Office be moved into their shop so they didn't close our branch and folk didn't need to go to another town or city to use the post office. Then some other Muslims were providing free takeaway meals to front line workers and NHS staff during covid.
In a nearby town they run a community program with the local football team, feeding the elderly and such like..... terrifying. Never know when a Muslim might do something good for the community round these parts, it's just so scary.
Oh good heavens! Are you ok??
I know right, round here they (gasp!) RUN A SCHEME to provide free tuition for primary school kids who are struggling with their homework.
Counterpoint: They wear funny hats and often speak a language I don't know much about. Someone hold me
Truly horrifying right enough.
I know many wonderful people who are Muslim. My girlfriend for one. They get so much shit thown at them almost every day. My girlfriend experiences racism at work almost daily. This is a woman who's won awards for customer service.
The right wing media will always blame them for the actions of a few. A vast majority of her extended family are of no danger to anyone, quite the opposite. But a few older members hold incredible levels of controll over the whole community nationally. Even when we go to other parts of the UK she gets harassed by older Muslim men on behalf of her father.
It's a literal national spy network used to controll, mostly women, who want nothing to do with them. We need to do better in protecting people like my girlfriend from the treats and intimidation they are subjected to.
They get attacked from both sides. Racists attack them for merely existing as a brown person. And the most extreme and outdated members of their communities are allowed to threaten and intimidate with impunity. Often with the aid of the police, who simply refuse to intervene and apply the law.
Before I went to UK I was really scared, I really thought its gonna be dangerous based on what I seen on the internet, spent a month there in birmingham, london and fuckin coventry and had amazing time, fuck all those right wing propaganda idiots and I hope to return and visit some more places.
If you listen to conservatives...
You'd think Chicago is a literal warzone... You can walk around 90% of the city without a care in the world..
You'd think Los Angeles is completely covered in homeless people, needles and fecal matter.. That's basically just Skid Row, and some pockets of downtown.
You'd think Portland is constantly under siege... it's 2 square blocks of the city.
You’d think Paris is a smoldering riot-zone where every café table is on fire. In reality, it’s mostly tourists, pastries, and locals being annoyed at tourists and pastries. The “riots” are usually a single street, filmed at maximum zoom.
You’d think Sweden is an apocalyptic no-go zone taken over by gangs. But the “no-go zones” they scream about are literally regular neighborhoods where people… live. Eat. Take their kids to school. Buy IKEA lamps without getting shot at.
You’d think Germany is being overrun by violent migrants and the whole country is on the brink of collapse. Meanwhile, the average German danger is still “cyclist coming up behind you silently” and the second-largest risk is someone scolding you for crossing the street on red.
You’d think London is a lawless hellscape where no one can walk 10 feet without being stabbed. Yet somehow millions of people commute, work, shop, and yell at the Tube every single day without being shanked an immigrant.
You’d think Barcelona is a boundless pit of crime, pickpockets waiting like Pokémon to battle you on every corner. The reality? Yes, watch your phone, it’s a crowded tourist city. But it’s not Snatch City, Population: You.
You’d think Amsterdam is drowning in drugs, prostitution, and chaos. It’s actually one of the calmest places on Earth… unless you step into a bike lane. Then it becomes Thunderdome.
If people could understand this then Fox News and the like would shut down. Fear mongering is their business, not news, not entertainment just taking money to fool people
It's not just fox.
Fear mongering against marginalized groups is an ancient strategy used by those in power to distract from other issues.
I have noticed, for example, in modern times Muslims and black people tend to be really huge scapegoats for almost anything.
Yeah, but why not tip the hat to the best of them. Yes brown ppl scary is the norm in the US, but it’s always, “‘those’ people are coming to take your (xxxxxxx) and you should be scared.”
I live about an hour from Charolette NC, and my mom is convinced it's some sort of dangerous criminal hell scape because the one guy with mental health issues killed someone on a bus.
I'm convinced it's just conservative brain rot at this point.
People claiming Chicago and LA are dangerous have never been pedestrians in Amsterdam, surrounded by 7-foot tall easily angered Dutch cyclists.
100% feared for my life more in Amsterdam crossing a cyclist path than I ever have in LA or Chicago lol
this is exactly it
I'll chime in. You'd think that Jacksonville Fl is also a warzone... it's pretty much all of two streets during certain time periods. Hell, our mayor is doing a great job working to get Downtown into a more servicable state, in spite of City Council and the local Baptist Church kneecapping her the entire way.
The difference is nobody wants to visit Jacksonville anyways
All these people have in life is outrage. They are unhappy with life so they smear other people who are weaker than they are, and they gather a gang of fools who follow their bs to validate them and make them feel strong and righteous. These people are miserable.
I live in London and have done for the past 3 years, and I've literally never had a single problem with gangs or knives or rough streets. In fact, the only time I've ever run into any trouble in my life is when I was robbed in my tiny little hometown in the middle of the Tory heartland south west.
It's really a universal thing. Here in Argentina, the media (all but one news channel are different flavors of right-wing) has everybody talking about violent crime all the time while it's the safest (or second safest after Uruguay or Chile) country in the continent. It's gotten to the point where right-wing politicians in debates call the country a bloodbath, which isn't remotely true, and a stretch even for a hyperbolic comment. Of course there are people that are killed when getting mugged, which is horrifying and unnaceptable, but that doesn't mean one can ignore objectivev crime statistics. I'm pretty sure that if a politician stated the objective fact that Argentina is one of the safest countries of the region in a debate, he would get booed by the crowd.
This is like all the people who tell me I live in a war zone in Chicago when I’ve lived here since 2002 (in the actual city) and love it
It was my favourite city when I visited America.
It’s a beautiful city with great people that also has some bad parts like everywhere else. I’m glad you like it tho. I’ve only been to London in the UK and would love to explore more (not sure if that’s where you’re at but thought it was apt for this convo). I’m sure it’s not dangerous or whatever else they’re obvi implying here
same, but with Portland lol
How is this not a hate crime ?
Imo he should be brought to court , he's straight up using his platform to incite hate toward a group of people and not just that but going as far as fabricating things to spread that hate .
Actually it's fucking mind blowing how the idea of a store with fake arabic writing on it is even a "scary" thing , like motherfucker you go anywhere in the world you'll see english words and fonts , does that makes it a scary place ?
Edit: this pos is algo boosted , i went to check this video alone and reported it and now my entire YouTube feed is filled with racist passport bro's videos, what a dogshit website.
Muslims are so dangerous that he had to fabricate their presence and behaviors just to make a scary thumbnail.
I'll never understand the silly hate bashing towards Muslims. Then again I dont understand these kind of hateful grifters to begin with so theres that.
The War on Terror made Muslims an acceptable target, providing you make it out as though all Muslims are extremist fundamentalists.
Trying to tell them that most Muslims are just normal people living their lives is borderline impossible.
Easy, they point to the ruler of Saudi Arabia of Iran and say "ah-Ha! There's a Muslim!"
They don't realize those people can point to Trump and do the same thing.
People really are just people. They do different things here and there, but everyone needs to work, to eat, to have a place to live.
I'm guessing Kurt is getting paid to do this. His content went full "let's walk around touristy areas and film & harass migrants".
its even worse than that. It doesn't even require some malicious third party, the algorithm itself (as well as the gullible audience) rewards this kind of cheap outrage bait content to the point where YouTubers looking for a cheap and low effort way to get a lof of clicks and ad revenue don't need any more incentives.
Haven't seen anybody point out that his shirt says "conquer" in Nordic-ish runes. Not like, translated, but literally using the symbols to approximate the Latin alphabet to spell conquer. How on the nose can this guy get.
This guy is anti immigration while he, himself immigrated to Colombia
When white people do it they're called expats not immigrants
He’s also South African. So. It all makes complete sense.
His fucking shirt tells me enough
This guy is a subhuman sex pest too, typical nazi roach
Oh the typical passport bros behaviour?
The bike dood looks friendly too
So you’re telling me a guy with Nordic runes on his shirt is a racist?
Now my Arabic is very remedial but… that Arabic on the awnings is completely nonsensical
A YouTube grifter spouting utter bullshit? Well, colour me shocked.
What causes travel youtubers to rapidly get more racist and right wing? A few years ago Kurt Caz was making interesting non-offensive travel videos showcasing unique or remote places with friendly interactions with locals. Same thing has happened to Bald and Bankrupt.
Money.
It’s always money.
Also the fact that 90% of travel YouTubers started out rich, so they have the same morals and entitlement of your average rich person.
Nordic runes. Red flag city.
Least racist South African youtuber
I knew this was off. Kurt has changed. Sad to see. Unsubbed today
I’m currently in SE Asia, and a man asked me where I was from. I responded with “London.” He said he’s never visited, but assured me of the following things: 1. It’s getting worse than ever before. 2. The “Muslim invasion” must be stopped. 3. Migrants staying in 5-star hotels is a disgrace.
He made various other allegations about a city he’s never visited, yet seemed to think he knew everything about. All of his claims were prefaced with “I’m not a racist BUT…,” and he told me he got his information from “truthful sources” on TikTok. According to him, “TikTok is the truth!” and “they don’t lie like the biased media.”
With each wild statement, I calmly responded with my own lived experiences — including the fact that I live in a relatively safe area that does indeed have a migrant hotel.
I told him that London is actually pretty safe and that I feel safer there than I ever have. I said I’m not aware of any so-called “Muslim invasion,” and explained that the hotel near me has a strict security desk out front; I hardly ever see anyone come or go without an escort.
He proceeded to tell me I’m naive and said my nativity would “come back to get me” if I didn’t “rise up against the problem” and turning to age as a reason for me not understanding (I am in my 30s). Absolutely wild stuff.
Oh, and to top it all off, he’s an immigrant living in America…
Ah, yes, the "anti-immigration" people with the germanic runes on the shirt. Not at all just literal neonazis.
Edit: And yes, I recognize runes are not inherently nazi, but the combination wiggles it's eyebrows neonazistically.
too late, people who don't understand how AI works have already been misinformed. Fuck AI
