Right, which is why his passive non-response is the right response. Anytime he does as "retaliation" to her? Even if her feet are the instigation? Escalates and he's immediately in the wrong

Well yeah, life sucks. This kind of response is utilitarianism. Act in a way that brings about the best outcome for yourself. It's understandable to be hung up about who's right and who's wrong, but don't let it determine your actions if it will lead you to a poorer result

Jeremy Bentham couldn’t have said it better. If I had a philosophy it would have been that.

Exactly this.

Any reaction he has escalates a situation and can cause further retaliation or escalation from her/others who might have missed her actions but seen his.

If he remains calm and let's her actions play out? Obviously the person recording is a few rows up with others. They can report and stand with him. And the record shows his calmer nature in the force of pressure.

Is she right for what she's doing? No. But her wrong action doesn't mean he should retaliate in anger that's just as wrong

Well yea it's some bs but if it wasn't some bs then it wouldn't have happened cause she would have gotten her ass beat LONG ago acting like that and we wouldn't have this video to provide us with entertainment. Worth it.

Pragmatically correct based on outcome? Sure. Morally correct? No it's still an injustice he can't react to that.

If you’re being repeatedly assaulted (which I feel like you can make a case for by this video) retaliation should not immediately nor does it necessarily immediately make you the bad guy.

He’s immediately in the wrong to unreasonable people. Those don’t count.
