Honest Government Ad | Bored of Peace (Patreon)

Dear PatronsHere is the latest Honest Government Ad you've helped us to produce.

This is one of our Government™ episodes, where we take a big-picture look at what's going on on planet Earth... It's not a pretty picture. But there's also some glimmers of hope - from Hungary, Ireland, Nepal and Bangladesh. And that's what this episode is really about - raging against the dying of the light. Coz as history shown, things get shit, just before they get better.

I love making these big-picture Government™ HGAs from time to time. It's a form of therapy. I think it helps us to deal with the shitshow when we can visualise its dimensions and dynamics. But I'm curious to know what you think, too. Would you like to see more of these kinds of big-picture HGAs? Or do you prefer when we focus on single topics? (You can also say, both!)I also want to say a word about our actor, Luca Banjo - who is appearing here in her first-ever HGA. In fact, her first ever paid acting job! Luca is a 1st-year student at WAPA (The Western Australian Performance Academy). She is only 19 but goddam brave and talented. Obviously takes after her mother (Jess Beckerling, the legend with whom I collaborated on our Alcoa HGA). And I think Luca killed it. (If you agree please click through and let her known in the YouTube comments!) The significance of working with such a young actor on this HGA was not lost on me. It's a scary world Luca and her friends are inheriting. But it also filled me with hope that this generation is full of fire and talent. (It was also exhausting lol young people have so much more energy..)From the admin department:1. I didn't share the audio preview for this HGA (apologies) because but we made it at blindingly fast speed: Luca happened to be here visiting her family during the easter break; so we decided to make a quick episode before she had to go back to Perth! 2. I decided to try publishing this HGA to Instagram first. I normally always publish our HGAs on YouTube first. But engagement has been strangely weak there owning to god-knows what algorithm changes since the start of the year. Whereas the HGAs have been going off on Instagram (where our last two HGAs both had 1M+ views). And this latest HGA is no exception: it's been up for 24 hours and already has 900k views + 26k shares. Here's the link.If you're not on insta you can also find this HGA on Facebook here (where's it's had 400k views). And I've just published it to YouTube here (let's see how it goes).That's all from me for now. We are about to have a long-weekend here in Australia, so we're taking Luca and Juno on a camping trip. I really cherish these special days with these little guys - they're not going to be little for much longer. As always, thank you from all of us here at the Juice Media for supporting our work on Patreon. I'll catch you with the next HGA. Until then, take care... and good luck ;)Giordano & team
