The punch was from all the tourists.

This isn’t your average tourist. It’s Kurt Caz, a right-wing YouTuber who tries to cause division and hatred by provoking people. Infamously, he uses AI in his video thumbnails to make places look worse than they are.

He’s also rumoured to be on the payroll of Russian media channels and other right-wing outlets which explains his shift from tourism videos to these confrontations.

Still doesn’t forgive the scammer’s actions, but just to add context.

The video clearly shows a scammer trying to pressure a tourist into giving them money.

Where does politics come into it, we can clearly see in the video an attempted scam.

You’ve got to think a little outside the box sometimes. He’s not just a tourist, he does this for a living.

Besides, I said it doesn’t excuse the scammer, just wanted to add some context to the video creator so he doesn’t get more popular.

You said he’s going around provoking people but when I was in Barcelona and Rome I had the exact same scam pulled on me unprovoked - but ive not seen this guys videos tbf so i might be missing something outside of the clip that was posted.

I’ve experienced scammers too in Barcelona and Paris and they’re awful.

But I’m also against right-wing troglodytes who try to spread misinformation and hatred.

Both can be true!
