Why it worked

The video likely resonated due to its direct and provocative question, tapping into a common political debate. By framing the issue as a matter of 'breaking points' and infrastructure capacity rather than simply numbers, it offered a specific perspective that could engage viewers across the political spectrum, encouraging debate and discussion in the comments.

Summary

The video features a creator asking left-wing supporters to define their "breaking point" regarding immigration. The creator argues that the issue is not the number of immigrants but the lack of infrastructure and services to support them, which they attribute to privatization and austerity. They pose the question of where the line is drawn and what it will take for people to demand action.

Structure

1Creator asks left-wing supporters to define their breaking point on immigration.
2Creator explains their own breaking point is zero, citing issues with infrastructure and services.
3Creator questions the audience's breaking point and their willingness to accept the current situation.
4Creator contrasts the number of immigrants with the decline in supply-side services.
5Creator concludes by stating their breaking point is the exploitation of the system and a desire for less billionaires and higher taxes on the rich.

IF YOU ARE A LEFT WING SUPPORTER PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION Left wing stitch incoming.... I'M GENUINELY INTERESTED QUESTION ANSWERED BY SOMEONE ON THE LEFT OF POLITICS WHERE IS YOUR BREAKING POINT? Can you elaborate as a very very vague question for someone who wants a direct answer? BECAUSE I'VE REACHED MINE. PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT OF POLITICS WE'VE SEEN ENOUGH SEXUAL ASSAULTS, RAPES MURDERS, VIOLENCE TO REACH OUR BREAKING ENOUGH IS ENOUGH That sort of stuff my breaking point is zero. I don't know about you. Your shirt seems to say maybe you like more but no for me that, you know, is zero. WE. WE. WE CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE PEOPLE IN INTO THE COUNTRY. Because we're now LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY CARRY ON INTO THE 2030S, RIGHT? What is going on migration. Migration has been happening for millennia. As long as humans have been able to walk, we've been migrating, people have been moving around the world. Today with all the borders that we have, obviously we notice it and we can count it. But it's not going to stop. SEVERAL SITES, LIKE WEATHERFIELD, ALREADY SAID THEY'LL STILL BE OPERATIONAL IN 2029 I'm not going to say I'm not going to do what right wing politicians do and just give you an answer or talk about something else. I will answer your question. WHERE IS YOUR BREAKING POINT? BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOUR LINE IS WAY, WAY ABOVE US. SO WHAT IS IT? WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU ACTUALLY, THIS LITTLE ISLAND CAN'T REALLY TAKE ANYMORE OF THIS AND WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING. So now you've got to the question, the breaking point. My breaking point anyway is a number of billions. So where's your BREAKING. BUT WHAT WHAT ARE YOU ARE YOU SAYING GONNA ACCEPT THIS AND ACCEPT IT? Yes, yes. I want you to continue for as long as we need people in this country, which at the moment we sorely, sorely do. FORGET THE STRAIN ON INFRASTRUCTURE THE FINANCIAL ASPECTS THE SAFETY ASPECT THE CULTURAL ASPECT None of that is true. What those strains you mention aren't to do with the number of people. It's to do with the supply side. It's to do with the fact that we haven't built enough hospitals, we haven't built enough schools, our transport infrastructure is crumbling. It's through years of privatization, austerity. And all those things, the actual number of people that have been using these things remain relatively stable actually. It's the supply side that has gone down. WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE? BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOUR LINE IS WAY, WAY ABOVE US. SO WHAT IS IT? WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU ACTUALLY, THIS LITTLE ISLAND CAN'T REALLY TAKE ANYMORE OF THIS AND WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING. So now you've got to the question, the breaking point. My breaking point anyway is a number of billions. They're the ones that need to be kicked out. The people who are actually exploiting the system, weaponizing these immigrants coming in, people who are looking for a better life, a better home and looking to contribute to our economy and actually fill all those spaces that we have in the NHS and our schools and everything else. That is my breaking point. I want less billionaires and I want to tax the rich.

I'm genuinely interested to have this question answered by someone on the left of politics. I consider myself on the left. I'll answer your question. When I say give me an answer, I don't mean skirt around the issue, okay? So here's my question. I'm not going to skirt around the issue. I'm not going to do what right wing politicians do and just give you an answer or talk about something else. I will answer your question. Where is your breaking point? Can you elaborate as a very, very vague question for someone who wants a direct answer? Because I've reached mine. People on the right of politics, we've seen enough sexual assaults, rapes, murders, violence to reach our breaking point. Enough is enough. That sort of stuff. My breaking point is zero. I don't know about you. Your shirt seems to say maybe you like more, but no, for me, that, you know, is zero. We. We. We can't take any more people in into the country. Because we're now looking at the possibility carry on into the 2030s, right? What is going on? Migration. Migration has been happening for millennia. As long as humans have been able to walk, we've been migrating, people have been moving around the world. Today, with all the borders that we have, obviously we notice it and we can count it. But it's not going to stop. Several sites, like Weatherfield, already said they'll still be operational in 2029. I'm not going to say I'm not going to do what right wing politicians do and just give you an answer or talk about something else. I will answer your question. Where is your breaking point? Because obviously your line is way, way above us. So what is it? What will it take for you actually, this little island can't really take anymore of this and we need to do something. So now you've got to the question, the breaking point. My breaking point anyway is a number of billions. So where's your breaking. But what what are you saying? Are you saying gonna accept this and accept it? Yes, yes. I want you to continue for as long as we need people in this country, which at the moment we sorely, sorely do. Forget the strain on infrastructure, the financial aspects, the safety aspect, the cultural aspect. None of that is true. What those strains you mention aren't to do with the number of people. It's to do with the supply side. It's to do with the fact that we haven't built enough hospitals, we haven't built enough schools, our transport infrastructure is crumbling. It's through years of privatization, austerity. And all those things, the actual number of people that have been using these things remain relatively stable actually. It's the supply side that has gone down. Where do you draw the line? Because obviously your line is way, way above us. So what is it? What will it take for you actually, this little island can't really take anymore of this and we need to do something. So now you've got to the question, the breaking point. My breaking point anyway is a number of billions. They're the ones that need to be kicked out. The people who are actually exploiting the system, weaponizing these immigrants coming in, people who are looking for a better life, a better home and looking to contribute to our economy and actually fill all those spaces that we have in the NHS and our schools and everything else.
