"No, no, no, no, no," Elliot says, "listen, I am an undercover journalist." He repeats his message, trying to get them to listen. They do not.
"Are you?" The masked militants mock.
"Mate! Listen to me!" Elliot says as the militants continue their attack. "I'm being serious!"
which is worse for your health: getting your ass kicked by antifascist counter-protestors or the group of right wing terrorists you've infiltrated finding out you're an undercover journalist because you couldn't take a few lumps without spilling the beans
If you're going "undercover" and infiltrating a group of Nazis, you've gotta accept being treated like a Nazi. Folding the moment your new Nazi buddies get you into trouble is some weak shit
If you get accepted as a Nazi, by a group of Nazis...getting beaten up by antifa just kind of comes with the territory. I don't know what he expected.
Oh, I know exactly what he expected. He expected to use his "journalist" status as a get out of jail free card. He's being serious! These people really do think they are first class citizens and everyone else is a kind of pond scum that is, at best, contemptible.
What a world when being against racists and fascists is considered "far-left".
*antifa beatings *
Wait wait wait wait stop!!! …
*beatings stop *
Im With the BBC!!
…
*beatings continue *
i mean, if a dude says 'im an undercover bbc reporter filming and hanging out with fascists!' i'd just be like 'yeah, that seems like something youd do'
"No, I'm an undercover BBC reporter!"
Wow dude I was just gonna rough you up a bit, but now I'm gonna search for mineshafts near me. :tito-laugh:
You want to do spooky spooky spy stuff you've got to take your beating.
What I wouldn't give to deliver punches and kicks to a journalist shouting "I'm part of the Cathedral and thus exempt from everything!"
Just three episodes of the a16z podcast can do this to your brain. Still think podcasts are 'safe'??
