[video]https://youtu.be/gPjszWcL6no[/video] Showed up in my reccomended, nice imagery with it.
This upload confuses me. The uploader acknowledges (barely) it's not their video, and a reupload of this, posted in 2015: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKOYoYy4vBE&feature=youtu.be[/media] And at the same time, is asking for PayPal donations. For what? Downloading and uploading someone else's video? On topic, though, it is a beautifully made video, and the reading is very well done. The way he read the famous last four lines caught me by surprise, and certainly aren't how I would have read them. But his reading of them did its job: it caught me off guard, and captured my attention.

Elliot would kill himself if he were ever alive to see his poetry be usurped by such people. [editline]tacos[/editline] After a little bit more digging, everything starts to make sense. This reuploader is a white supremacist propaganda account. Five seconds [url=https://twitter.com/VertigoPolitix]on their Twitter[/url] affirms that. They reuploaded and recontextualized this video in the context of white supremacist propaganda.
