    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

                    Well, one last link in case it helps:

                    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ximgPmJ9A5s

                    Or the Piped version is:

                    https://piped.video/watch?v=ximgPmJ9A5s

                    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.
