That was extremely difficult to watch.

no doubt. the censored version is all I can stomach, but effect for me was still visceral. decade after decade and nothing changes becase "This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”

his protest will, hopefully, be devastating to the insular little bubbles we have been encased in for most of our lives.

Don't worry, it won't be. Never underestimate peoples' abilities to lie to themselves to make their lives less uncomfortable, nor the ruling classes' abilities and desires to lean into that tendency to manipulate them for personal gain.

Thank you. Its extremely rude to censor his great heroic sacrifice

I agree, he was willing to die to spread his message, it's important that it not be censored or suppressed. I believe it's also on Archive.org.
