Unite The Right video incoming!

That was a tough one to get through. Thanks for doing this Shaun.

Making this video must have been pretty damn depressing. This is the kind of great content I support you for; but I hope you are taking care of your mental health too.

Hey man, really good and I think vital video. The one bit I was unsure of was at 41:20 I think. You mentioned the 'oven getting bigger' being influenced by Trump's rhetoric. I didn't understand the reference and it might be worth spelling this out a bit more?

I might add a note explaining the slur against Aboriginal Australians (weird hearing an American say that word, but I guess it's okay for *bigotry* to be globalist). And this isn't that important but if you're feeling nitpicky the 1966 stage musical of Cabaret also included Tomorrow Belongs to Me. The film certainly would have popularized it through. Didn't think I could be surprised about Sargon's useful idiocy anymore! Wow. Thanks for this, it clearly took a ton of work.

You thanked me as "Stephanie Wuchina" at the end. Otherwise excellent work ;)

Dear Shaun, Thank you very much for your efforts in making this. It was a tough watch, but you argue your point very well and it is an important message. I will mirror it if it gets flagged for what it is worth. It would be good if you made a patreon post if it does get flagged. I don't really follow twitter...

I tried to fact-check as much as I could in the short time this video has been viewable, and the few things I made note of, on reexamination, were not problematic or erroneous. Most of the assertions in the video are validated by the words of the people you're commenting on already, and nothing I checked from the Hunton and Williams report were incorrect, either. Granted, I've only been at this for a couple hours, and there's a lot in here to confirm, but nothing stands out so far as needing correction. Well done.

Really interesting, if sometimes depressing stuff. It may be to big of a undertaking before the video goes live, but as someone who is a bit hard of hearing I had a pretty big problem hearing what the protestors were saying when it wasn't subbed. Especially the man at the jewish conspiracy flag and on some other places. But maybe I should consider myself lucky.

17:40 you mentioned you wanted feedback? ... when you say "one thing the police did right" in reference to them protecting the speakers and "VIPs", i think that's gonna be controversial. personally i'm undecided, on the one hand their job is to protect all members of the public from immediate violence, regardless of political views... also, averting violent clashes would protect bystanders as well as the speakers themselves... but on the other hand, the alt right speakers were arguably very likely to incite violence, it is at the very least "kind of a bad look" for the police to be protecting them..

Hey Shaun, amazing (if heartbreaking) video. Only little detail I noticed was that at 31:01 you mention there being one NSM flag in the footage James Ulsep showed, but at that time stamp I believe there's a SECOND NSM flag on a stick further afield behind the first NSM flag!! Fascism is a loser ideology.

Thank you for pointing that out in this video. Things didn't turn around until a certain someone died. Thank you Shaun.

Good stuff. I ripped the video, I'll totally mirror it if it gets taken down!

Hey Shaun, Great video, I really enjoyed it. One detail I think you need to do is add subtitles to all the clips where we're trying to understand what the protesters are saying. This is pretty common in news footage of somewhat intelligible speaking, and I think it should probably be included here.

Many thanks for this one Shaun !

Also, at around 36 minutes, you talk about Tomorrow Belongs to Me and its adoption by neo-Nazis. I don't think it'd fit the video, but I always found it funny how this explicitly antifascist musical with music by two Jewish men got appropriated by the very people it antagonizes. Maybe that's more sad than funny, in retrospect, but it's a good piece of trivia.

One potential terminology issue I noticed: at 34:04, you say that Dylann Roof is currently serving a life sentence in prison. That's his state sentence, but he was federally sentenced to death—he's currently on death row. I'm honestly not familiar enough with the prison system to know the exact difference, but wanted to point it out just in case.

Love you Shaun. Increasing my pledge.

Something to watch whilst killing time at the airport. Cheers Shaun
