A guy's video in which he cooks bacon and pumps the smell of it through his "98% Muslim" apartment complex as a form of "resistance" is going viral—and he's getting called out hard.

Make us preferred on Google

People tend to act one of two ways when they have the opportunity to get to know people of a different cultural background than their own. Some will be friendly, ask questions, get to know them, and be grateful for learning something new.

But others will be hateful and potentially even feel their own culture "threatened" by the exposure.


X user @MatrixMysteries shared a video of a man who appears to be living alone in an apartment complex that he claims is otherwise "98% Muslim." To "resist" their culture, the man cooks a pan of bacon, and then he opens his front door and his balcony door, setting up a fan to blow the air and the residual smell of the cooking bacon into the apartment hallway and down onto the shared street.

Ironically, the video is set to the theme song from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, with the very identifiable line, "Won't you be my neighbor?" included.

MatrixMysteries described it as a form of resistance:

"An American living in a complex that is roughly 98% Muslim has found a quiet form of resistance."
"He cooks bacon and aims a fan so the smell fills the hallway."
"He is not harming anyone. He is simply refusing to surrender his own culture in his own building."

You can watch the video here:

Fellow X users were critical of the video and what they believed were the man's insecurities.









It's okay for one person to eat bacon and for someone else to exclude it from their diet for religious reasons, and it's also okay for two people to be in the same room while being from different cultures and observing different religions.

The X users clocked this video as weirdly petty and hateful, trying to inconvenience the majority of the neighbors with a smell they'd rather not experience, all in an attempt to prove a point about who the guy is not.

Some also viewed the man as insecure and racist, because from the video, the only person who seems to be bothered that he is an American among Muslim people is him.

Navy Veteran Expertly Rips Texas County Over Proposal To Dramatically Cut Polling Sites Despite Higher Voter Turnout In Mic Drop Rant

A Texas Navy veteran has gone viral after speaking out against a proposed vote in Tarrant County to cut 140 polling sites for the upcoming midterm elections in November.

Tarrant County commissioners delayed a proposal Tuesday to slash the number of polling places by 140 after opponents pushed back during a contentious meeting that saw one man physically removed. The plan would cut polling locations from 316 to 175, with the largest reductions concentrated in heavily minority areas.
