He records them and shares it with the world.
What do people sound like when reporting their neighbors, coworkers, students? Are they confident they are doing a righteous good thing?
Here the banality of evil in these sheepish suburban voices.
@futurebird This is so important. We know who the people who ran the Nazi camps were: school masters, shop assistants, public servants. People like you and me.
But we call them monsters to avoid having to face the fact that we could have been them. -
Horrifying, horrifying
It's so difficult to understand what is driving someone like this. How was it harming her life or anyone's life that the child's parents were in the same country as her?
Watching the rest of these videos on the same channel, they're all horrifying
They're talking in such a calm bored way about wrecking innocent people's lives. They sound like they're ordering furniture or something, banality of evil is absolutely right.

@futurebird “Kindergarten teacher wants to deport their students” sounds monstrously unbelievable but I knew someone whose wife was a teacher and apparently complained about all the ESL students in her school. I don’t know what those students’ immigration status was but she and her husband definitely *thought* they were undocumented.
@MisuseCase @futurebird my daughter a grade school teacher has heard teachers talk this way as well

@futurebird I'm literally watching his videos right now.
It's crazy how much hate there are in America. The rhetoric being passed around in the United States is unreasonably close to 1939. (maybe switch Hitler out for Trump, and pick different groups to target)

Whenever I hear people talk about "falling test scores" and how schools are failing, I think about the number of teachers like this.

@futurebird This woman desperately wants to believe she is the victim of something--being taken advantage of by foreigners or being mistreated by a hotline employee. She is sadistically aching for somebody, somewhere to be punished for something no matter whether her life is materially affected in any way or not. She's like a frustrated toddler lashing out at anything within reach. A raging racist toddler with a cell phone, a job overseeing children, and voting rights.

What disturbs me is the total lack of urgency and confidence in these “reporters” as soon as Ben simply describes what they are doing “so you are reporting this person so they will be removed from the country” they put all of the responsibility on him (one caller says “isn’t that what we are doing?)
People scoff at insects following pheromone trails but the average ant puts more thought into her next action than some of these people. “The government says report these people better do it”

Is not like they call in, crying and in distress having been menaced by some horrible gang— no it’s a literal child trying their best to learn the damn alphabet— and this lady is like “oh he’s kinda different better call the government”

@FediThing @futurebird Failed at life? Feeling unsuccessful or unappreciated? Try racism!

Chilling, yet brilliant on his part. I'm not surprised at all that people are like this. More of them need to be exposed.
