The problem, otto, is that in this clip the right is equated with individualism, meaning a value of rights, freedoms, dignity, while the left is equated with collectivism, which leads to racism. This is a ridiculous argument. It implies that the right-wing politics is completely devoid of racism, and that the left does not value rights, freedoms, and dignity.
You don't think authoritarianism or populism/collectivism exists in right-wing ideologies?
