Well damn! No wonder you guys are so patriotic! I think I might be a bit jealous of your freedom and your news industry.
(Wish I could help 😞 I'm just up here in this other little North American country. The really cold one. Just wishing someone saves you from yourselves before that stink moves too far up and gets embedded in the carpet. Unfortunately we've been getting more and more whiffs of it in the past couple years. We may need help too.)
Yeah, it's spreading all over the world. Again. Except this time we seem to be for rather than against it, for some reason? :-(
Well it sure is how it seems depending on where you look. Just gotta hope that a majority of people haven't lost their mind yet.
I dunno, I feel like I have lost mine at least:-).
Btw in case it is fun, here is a video from John Oliver about authoritarianism.
Stay strong! (and warm if at all possible:-)
Unfortunately that link doesn't seem to work in Canadia but I'll look it up. I love John Oliver.
Urgh it doesn't work 😭 I've tried searching for it and it doesn't come up, just random playlists named Authoritarianism that don't actually contain the video. I'll have to pirate it. Sorry John :(
That's odd - I wonder if it is actually blocked there. Take consolation that John Oliver would very much want you to, under those circumstances:-). Also, how much more of an impact is that video going to have on you as you see it enacted before your very eyes, if your nation did block it.
I think it's HBO who blocks it 😩. Lots of American TV networks block their content from being viewed outside the US.
That is weird. Does HBO block it even from their direct website? And then this video is 5 years old so it may not even be on there - so with little profits to gain from it, they still would block it regardless, b/c they are just that petty:-(. Yay "freedom"!:-P
but I think that still streams from the YouTube so would not expect it to work, unless like YouTube itself a proxy could bypass it.
Urgh, I thought for a second that maybe the piped link was gonna work but no :(
I could get it to work with a proxy or vpn but fuck it. I pirated it 🏴☠️
John Oliver would be so proud:-). You will support him in other ways - e.g. by spreading the message in your own country. He makes a TON of money, so truly I believe that he will be fine, and would rather the message be not so artificially limited as that corporation has made it.
Now the real question: what did you think of it? And it's okay if you'd rather not answer right away, but if you wanted to, then I would enjoy hearing about it from you:-). After all, I cannot ever travel back in time to re-watch that video for the first time, but I can enjoy that feeling vicariously through you perhaps!?:-P
Hahah I will be back with some comments on it once I've had a chance to actually watch it. Gimme a couple hours, I haven't been up for long enough my brain is still a foggy maze :3
I might've also already seen it, but my memory is ummm... Well it's something.
Anyway I'm sure John would be happy that I've pirated his show, especially as a last resort. With the offer he's made to Clarence Thomas, I also don't think he really needs the pennies. I would rather support him but it is what it is.
I've also added it to my media server so all my friends will see it in their feed. They all also love John.
Edit: Also, I made the mistake of watching Noah Samsen's video on the starvation of the Palestinian people first thing after I woke up. I need a break 😭

Oh that's weird. If it helps, here's another link that my phone automatically translates the above into: https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=RyyrDneVyLze3rWE&v=ximgPmJ9A5s&feature=youtu.be. Anyway it's just the word "Authoritarianism". Enjoy!:-)

Well, one last link in case it helps:
