    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.

            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.
