WAR[br]by Seb

0:00:05.500,0:00:08.580
Humans killing other humans [br]on a mass scale

0:00:08.660,0:00:12.540
has always been a part of humanities [br]quite brutal tale.

0:00:12.700,0:00:18.060
From hands to stones, to knives, to guns, [br]to atomic bombs and so forth,

0:00:18.280,0:00:23.120
the destructive power of humans [br]now threatens all life on planet Earth.

0:00:23.320,0:00:26.620
The reality of war is very foreign for some,

0:00:26.820,0:00:29.040
yet extremely real for others.

0:00:29.140,0:00:36.720
Just imagine the complete destruction and loss of your [br]home, culture, childhood, friends, sisters, and brothers.

0:00:36.960,0:00:41.520
Sadly the free market has no consideration [br]for how that would feel.

0:00:41.800,0:00:46.800
Instead, it reinforces the rich to profit off another[br]billion dollar arms deal.

0:00:47.160,0:00:53.600
Far over 100 million people have been killed [br]in the wars of the 20th century alone.

0:00:53.760,0:01:01.200
It really is the most primitive and brutal waste of lives, [br]resources and time humanity has ever known.

0:01:01.380,0:01:06.340
Some estimates for the total number [br]of humans killed in all wars in history

0:01:06.480,0:01:09.080
goes up to 1 billion people,

0:01:09.160,0:01:14.600
and until this day so much is still invested into making drones, battleships, tanks

0:01:14.660,0:01:18.640
and all kind of military equipment [br]more and more lethal.

0:01:19.040,0:01:23.760
Currently, we also have more than [br]100 million soldiers worldwide.

0:01:24.100,0:01:28.980
The task of these people is not to protect [br]the human race from another species,

0:01:29.100,0:01:34.720
but instead, it is to fight and kill other humans [br]with dividing beliefs of national pride.

0:01:35.280,0:01:38.800
Many believe being a soldier [br]is a very honorable thing.

0:01:39.140,0:01:45.840
That seems like a highly subservient point of view as [br]it’s always the poor who die in battle and never the king.

0:01:46.000,0:01:51.420
To me, real honor has to do with unity, understanding and non-violently refusing.

0:01:51.500,0:01:55.240
We must shift our attitude from [br]one of fear and aggression

0:01:55.380,0:01:59.820
to one of courage and compassion [br]before we all end up losing.

0:02:00.220,0:02:04.240
Just like those who lost their lives [br]in Nagasaki and Hiroshima,

0:02:04.340,0:02:09.259
Nazi Germany, Rwanda, Armenia, Russia, Iraq, [br]and the list would never end.

0:02:09.620,0:02:16.620
We have to start understanding who benefits and why [br]we have war if we truly wish to change and transcend.

0:02:17.200,0:02:22.940
Sadly, the causes of war are still not properly [br]presented in today’s average history class,

0:02:23.080,0:02:28.300
as most books don’t touch upon false flag[br]operations, the military industrial complex

0:02:28.420,0:02:30.420
and the upper banking class.

0:02:30.500,0:02:35.020
Students need to learn that the mess [br]in the middle east is not an error.

0:02:35.160,0:02:40.560
It is a highly profitable situation where big[br]oil companies, arms dealers and banks

0:02:40.680,0:02:45.200
make insanely high amounts of money [br]off manufactured terror.

0:02:45.740,0:02:51.220
They also need to learn that there is a big difference between what is reported by the mainstream media

0:02:51.460,0:02:56.000
and what is actually going on in places [br]like Iraq, Yemen, and Syria.

0:02:56.120,0:03:01.640
War is unacceptable, yet in today's market [br]system it is structurally inevitable.

0:03:01.760,0:03:06.300
Hence, in order to overcome it we must [br]design a new socioeconomic model

0:03:06.400,0:03:10.520
where profiting from mass murder [br]is systemically impossible.

0:03:10.720,0:03:16.360
Maybe instead of spending so much time and resources on how to improve and profit

0:03:16.460,0:03:22.480
from mental, physical, racial, geopolitical [br]and ultimately self-destructive torture,

0:03:22.540,0:03:28.460
we should invest our energy on creating new [br]sustainable and peaceful social structures

0:03:28.540,0:03:34.380
where we use understanding rather than violence [br]to bridge our differences in culture.

0:03:36.360,0:03:40.240
