YouTube seems to have made it unplayable (for now). You get a vague error when you try to play it.

Works for me.

Strange. The alt link given to me in this thread worked. The original one says:

Video unavailable

This video is unavailable

Only after clicking it. The initial screen loads up as if it's going to play normally. Usually if there are geographical limits or whatever, it mentions that. But this error says the video simply isn't there.

Youtube seems to be acting weird for me recently. I assume it has something to do with their war against ad blockers. Moving too fast and breaking some things? I don't know, just a thought.

That worked. I've seen a lot of MP videos, but I've not heard this. Very much their style, and funny in the most absurdist ways.

Thanks!

I went back to the original link and it still gives the same error. All good now though.

This one now show the same error

or this one... https://youtu.be/V00Crn56wk0?si=W36uEA20Ce6BwaDr

is it tacky to dance on a war criminals grave? probably, but i'm not sure i care at the moment.

First thing that came to mind.

for me it was the great late Christopher Hitchens and his crusade against Kissinger

This is incredible. This is the quality of discourse we have lost.

Hitch was one of the rare, great journalists and commentators that had the capacity to independently think for himself.

even the people calling him up on the call in section on the were more sane than what we get today.

there is in fact several videos on Hitch being very concise about Kissinger.

Between Kissinger and Wernher von Braun, it's a wonder where the US would be without Nazi Germany.
