WAR
by Seb

2
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:08,580
Humans killing other humans 
on a mass scale

3
00:00:08,660 --> 00:00:12,540
has always been a part of humanities 
quite brutal tale.

4
00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:18,060
From hands to stones, to knives, to guns, 
to atomic bombs and so forth,

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,120
the destructive power of humans 
now threatens all life on planet Earth.

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,620
The reality of war is very foreign for some,

7
00:00:26,820 --> 00:00:29,040
yet extremely real for others.

8
00:00:29,140 --> 00:00:36,720
Just imagine the complete destruction and loss of your 
home, culture, childhood, friends, sisters, and brothers.

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,520
Sadly the free market has no consideration 
for how that would feel.

10
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,800
Instead, it reinforces the rich to profit off another
billion dollar arms deal.

11
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:53,600
Far over 100 million people have been killed 
in the wars of the 20th century alone.

12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:01:01,200
It really is the most primitive and brutal waste of lives, 
resources and time humanity has ever known.

13
00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:06,340
Some estimates for the total number 
of humans killed in all wars in history

14
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,080
goes up to 1 billion people,

15
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,600
and until this day so much is still invested into making drones, battleships, tanks

16
00:01:14,660 --> 00:01:18,640
and all kind of military equipment 
more and more lethal.

17
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,760
Currently, we also have more than 
100 million soldiers worldwide.

18
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:28,980
The task of these people is not to protect 
the human race from another species,

19
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:34,720
but instead, it is to fight and kill other humans 
with dividing beliefs of national pride.

20
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,800
Many believe being a soldier 
is a very honorable thing.

21
00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:45,840
That seems like a highly subservient point of view as 
it’s always the poor who die in battle and never the king.

22
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,420
To me, real honor has to do with unity, understanding and non-violently refusing.

23
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:55,240
We must shift our attitude from 
one of fear and aggression

24
00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:59,820
to one of courage and compassion 
before we all end up losing.

25
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:04,240
Just like those who lost their lives 
in Nagasaki and Hiroshima,

26
00:02:04,340 --> 00:02:09,259
Nazi Germany, Rwanda, Armenia, Russia, Iraq, 
and the list would never end.

27
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:16,620
We have to start understanding who benefits and why 
we have war if we truly wish to change and transcend.

28
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,940
Sadly, the causes of war are still not properly 
presented in today’s average history class,

29
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,300
as most books don’t touch upon false flag
operations, the military industrial complex

30
00:02:28,420 --> 00:02:30,420
and the upper banking class.

31
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:35,020
Students need to learn that the mess 
in the middle east is not an error.

32
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:40,560
It is a highly profitable situation where big
oil companies, arms dealers and banks

33
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,200
make insanely high amounts of money 
off manufactured terror.

34
00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:51,220
They also need to learn that there is a big difference between what is reported by the mainstream media

35
00:02:51,460 --> 00:02:56,000
and what is actually going on in places 
like Iraq, Yemen, and Syria.

36
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,640
War is unacceptable, yet in today's market 
system it is structurally inevitable.

37
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,300
Hence, in order to overcome it we must 
design a new socioeconomic model

38
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,520
where profiting from mass murder 
is systemically impossible.

39
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,360
Maybe instead of spending so much time and resources on how to improve and profit

40
00:03:16,460 --> 00:03:22,480
from mental, physical, racial, geopolitical 
and ultimately self-destructive torture,

41
00:03:22,540 --> 00:03:28,460
we should invest our energy on creating new 
sustainable and peaceful social structures

42
00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:34,380
where we use understanding rather than violence 
to bridge our differences in culture.

43
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,240
To Understand More about the potential 
to create a world beyond war
