@@Ozone946 Kafka is an Author who is famous for his dystopian style of novels called "Kafkaesque".What this Genre usually consist of, is basically a dystopian world, where there is an extreme amount of government intervention in life and an extremely complex beauracracy(rules and regulation) , to the point where its absurd and doesn't make sense. All of his novels have a surreal dystopian feeling. This video by Jim is potraying the same elements

this acting is too good. The fake smiles, the occasional looks to the audience, the absolute passive aggressiveness of it all. my entire body is on flight mode and I just want to go, “listen, if this isn’t a good time I could just pop back in later.” and I just got to the end I am shook. not sure with the lighting what is going on with the hair but I like it

Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, whereby those important events of the past, usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.

YES LOVED this, so creative and amusing and relaxing, and 30 min! Love me some professional-asking-questions-and-methodically-doing-bureaucratise ASMR, with the Jim touch and twists. Relishing in the ambience and sounds but also fabulous Jim who keeps me glued to my screen and giggling (that key at 17:45 😆). So many crisp sounds, mmmm that typewriter roller sound, the sloooow typing, the incoming teleport noise, jiggly pen, stamps, obvs Jim's voice. That stylish desaturation makes the blue-greens POP (and oooh Jim's eyes at 17:45!) and those documents celestially glow (before they are chucked aside 🤣). So only Joe quit smoking I see...I do love that lighter flip at 19:22! Jim has the best smiles (6:52!) and I love how the eyebrow makeup enhances this character's smirks and irritation! 20:16, "oh I'm sure he's fine," lol.
