15-Year-Old Alt-Right Conservative Complains of being Persecuted for his Racist Opinions

A sad day for believers of free speech today after the release of a viral video made by 15-year-old self-defined "Alt-Right" conservative Ben Castellan in which the upper-middle-class boy is moved to tears talking about the hardships he faces being persecuted for his beliefs. The 44-minute Youtube video starts out as a sort of informational "fact" list, dealing mostly with statistics about terrorist demographics and media misrepresentations of crimes committed by police officers in America - particularly focusing on statistics about black vs. white crime rates. The video soon takes a sour turn however, when young Ben Castellan shares a personal story about his peers' reactions and comments on some of Ben's factual and unbiased Facebook comments. He even begins to tear up as he retells the horrific story of being falsely labelled as a "racist" and a "bigot" - simply because of the colour of his skin.

The video was taken down a mere two hours after posting, but already the internet had got hold of it and Ben quickly began to fear for his entire future. His facebook account was even found by the internet masses and Ben has received hundreds of despicable death-threats, although he has also received a fair amount of support from those who agreed with his message and could empathise with the tragedy he had undergone. Ben posted a second Youtube video this evening, telling about the death threats, thanking his supporters, and attempting to call out his internet-nemeses for their hypocrisy. 

"None of you people can understand how it feels. To have people look at you and assume, oh, you must be straight, you must be sexist, you must be a racist. You have white privilege. Well guess what my white privilege means? I got. A hundred and eighty. Death threats. Threats... People, who just want to kill me, people who have never even met me or don't even know what I'm like. Just because of the colour of my skin."

It seems many of the more outspoken critics of Ben's video were particularly enraged by his denouncing of the Black Lives Matter movement, which he decried as a terrorist organization being supported by corrupt "SJW" (Social Justice Warrior) government officials. One often-quoted (by supporters and critics alike) portion of his original video went as such:

"[BLM] is a terrorist group. There is no other way to say it. If you think there is a problem in society - you don't respond with violence. You don't scream at people in the streets. You have to be calm or else nothing will ever change, and if you can't stay calm then you aren't going to get more supporters. You're going to make enemies. And if any of you think the right response is to kill, innocent, police officers... You're going to have an angry mob on your hands."

At this point in the video Ben casually alluded to owning a "PPK" - a type of handgun famous for being favoured by fictional spy James Bond, but said that he couldn't show it on camera because "It's technically my step-dad's" and Ben apparently "isn't allowed to use the key [to the household firearm locker.]"

Another controversial issue raised in the video was in reference to the increasing number of terrorist attacks in Western societies, with Ben valiantly declaring to stand up "alone if need be" to Muslims in America, who he sarcastically referred to as 'the religion of "peace"'. Anticipating some backlash for these views (which even Ben himself admitted were drastic - but necessary,) Ben predicted the common counter-argument in the ongoing deportation debate that America itself was in part responsible for a small portion of the terrorist attacks being committed around the world.

"I know you're going to try to blame America because you don't even love your. Own. Country. But Muslim countries and the whole Middle East have been shitholes for literally centuries."

In response to this, reddit user /u/blogorp sarcastically stated:

"Congratulations kid. You figured it all out. Terrorism isn't caused by poor upbringing in troubled societies. Brown people are just ass-backwards. Good job."

At the end of his second video, Ben announces his retirement from Youtube, and sends off with a message aimed directly at the American government itself.

"The reason this country is awful is because any idiot can vote, as long as they're old enough. But I'm too young. Even though 99% of voters don't even have the level of education that I have. If you think there's nothing wrong with that, then God help you."

It is uncertain which presidential candidate Ben Castellan would vote for if he was of legal voting age.
