Hunter S. Thompson Tried to Warn Us...

The censoring is due to the fact YouTube are consistently combing through everything I make looking for issues, every video as of recent has received a manual review despite clearly following guidelines, it's why I am forced to censor anything they might find as controversial. I will find a way to make the censors more seamless in future, realistically I saw the gaps as servicable as opposed to a jarring bleep sound constantly, but I see why it might cut up the flow of the video. When YouTube find issues it doesn't just affect income, it vastly affects the performance of the channel, and even ability to release content on time as some manual reviews take weeks.

Man, thank you for giving a genuine look at who Thompson was and not just perpetuating the caricature.

One of my favourite stories about Hunter relates back to his campaign for Sheriff, his opponent was a hardcore ex military officer who had more than a little disdain for those within the counterculture. Hunter knew this and so he shaved his head with a razor effectively becoming as bald as a cue ball, all so he could refer to his opponent as a “long-haired hippy” Hunter was quite a formidable troll

As an old head, I feel proud of and happy for you. You are going to make it young man. Keep going, believe in yourself. You are going to make it.

its scary how nothing changes

They’re demonetizing drug names? What am I, a child? What am I even paying for.

Coolea looks like if John Krasinski was big fan of Deftones.

As someone who is very empathic and can read people very well, the lizard person scene in Fear and Loathing is very relatable.

Coolea looks like Emo Pyrocynical. Love it

The first I read fear and loathing, it was a fun drug fueled romp, that made me become a Raoul duke kinda figure in high school, when I read it again a year or two later, I understood the warning that the American dream was already dead, and the hippie culture that once fueled the change that I wanted to see had burnt itself out on drugs and looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, and since then I have spread that message as much as I can

His story, one of his last, about the Supreme Court Judge was prophetic. He had inside information on a lot of stuff. Exaggeration (gonzo) was his way of not getting disappeared while conveying information. In 1977 a friend taught me how to read Thompson. When you read something incredibly outrageous about a powerful person, just dial it back down to "what if this is true to any degree?" Surprising Hunter was not unalived much sooner.

Fear And Loathing is the only book I’ve ever read that made me feel intoxicated while I was indeed sober at the time. Incredibly talented writer

" i admire the shape of your skull"😂

I remember growing up and idolizing HST, but now that I'm older...all the stuff about Raoul Duke and the drugs is kind of depressing. It's like he was locked into trying to be "cool" for the rest of his adult life. No doubt he would have done a lot more wonderful work if he wasn't that addicted to drugs. Who wouldn't have wanted to read that boxing story?

"We can't stop here, this is bat country"

The good doctor would have definitely hated the level of censorship in this age. Even words that aren't even close to being vulgar are censored now (strictly because they're related to unpleasant subjects), which is obviously just a way of running away from/burying the head in the sand to just try to ignore reality, thinking that pretending these things don't exist would just make them cease to exist.

Dude.. watch almost every one of Ur videos and i was reading fear and loathing again and showing the movie to a few mates, and then BOOM you make a video of it. We are aligned good sir

Oscar Zeta Acosta deserves a video of his own. This was wonderful, Coolea! I should give Fear and Loathing another read and finish Rum Diaries
