Though to be fair, something of a fail quote by Fringeelements in that video's comment section would be:

"But I think what you may be getting at is that third worlders are socially conservative, and they support big gov't. This is true everywhere in the world - in Europe, the US, Africa, Latin America, India, SE Asia. When they move into Europe, the retain the same horrible totalitarian social and economic views, and new research shows that political viewpoints are largely genetically determined... so... there you go. Some people want freedom, some don't. Democracy doesn't cause any of it." (Emphasis added by me)

I smell bullshit...

Honestly, it all smells like bullshit to me. It seems like his whole argument is "Democracy is doomed to fail because blacks and Mexicans are always going to vote themselves into government programs and be leeches"

Ironically, I didn't get that far in the video, so I didn't hear that insanity, but yeah, that does sound like Fringeelements.

Ugh, it gets even worse.  I'm going to post a video of his in fail quotes in a few minutes.
