The creepy cult of modern faux liberalism

If I may chime in, the "they" is probably the people (generically speaking) who seem to want to get offended about everything even if sometimes is a rather unimportant thing as Halloween costumes. Look, I agree with protests about racism and police brutality and institutional racism and all, this is just not one of those situations.  So the "they" could pertain to the op, who was greatly offended by a silly little video. So offended he had to start a thread about how outraged he is.

We have tons of threads about much more futile topics so I'm not sure that warrants your being upset..? 

nah, she was cast for looking just like ancient egyptian statues

Cleopatra was Greek, incidentally

Right, and you think Elizabeth Taylor is an Egyptian, your credibility is shot here.

Damn man:

Can one we on the left and still defend freedom of speech? YES

The people in the video, and the op are both hyper-sensitive and overly serious. Personally, I don't care about Halloween, hand clapping, or anything else mentioned there. Obviously these things are a big deal to the people in the video, and the op too.

Again, if there are running threads with daily activity on "what are you eating right now", I think we can tolerate this thread. 

Yeah, leftists love to pretend they have a moral high ground instead of discussing things

I haven't said I have a high moral ground. But if you are happy with people being killed because they think different than you then it's just obvious and objectively provable that my moral ground is at least less execrably low as yours.

not so much happy as indifferent

No, at least don't lie. You are happy.

He's a north American cuasi-fascist racist conservative from what I read. We have tons of these (even though I thought they were less pervasive in Canada)
