An INVITATION to CIVILIZATION

[david2211]

this is silly

[PrimitiveByNature]

@david2211 It's not silly it's truth

[TheJackal48]

shes probably saying something nice and they turn it around

[rbsavant]

good one!

[EagleGhost117]

Hahah I lol'd like shit.

[maire83]

But why would they write it in English? they're in Brazil!

[DEATHINKING]

because the leader of the tribe, the woman who reads the note, was educated, spoke several languages &

had graduated from Yale. Plus she had a an imagination which I've come to observe most people lack.

[maire83]

But how come she answered back in her mother tongue, which the messenger DOESN'T understand, instead of English, which they both understand? This is an Anglo-centric world view that is being propogated. Resist the Anglocentricism!

[DEATHINKING]

how do you know the messenger doesn't understand her language? he might have once been from that very tribe, which is why he was employed to be the messenger. i think the only thing your giving resistence to is your own imagination.

[crass770]

how do you know they are in Brazil? they might be in Peru, French Guiana, or Suriname.

[DEATHINKING]

maybe even in the Bronx?

[crass770]

lol.. well it is a jungle out there

[AKOBADAGETHXIII]

Most of you people have a deluded view of primitive peoples. Like the noble savage myth.

[pennilesscripple]

have you studied the ways that indigenous people live? would you like to inform me about something i don't know? where do you get your information?

the myth is that there is anything noble about civilization, which is based on violence, and is destructive of life

you are confusing the people with the culture

humans are humans

no one is saying that indigenous people are better humans

[AKOBADAGETHXIII]

The earth will not be around forever anyway and you can't go from a type 0 civilization to a type 1,2 or 3 without doing some damage to the earth aquiring resources. Is civilization neccessary? Yes if we are going to leave thi sworld and continue as a species.

[pennilesscripple]

that's like saying 'your mother is going to die anyway, so it won't matter if i gouge out her eyes'

why i the world would we want to leave this beautiful planet?

[AKOBADAGETHXIII]

Because we will die if we don't

[pennilesscripple]

why will we die?

i assume you mean because of the toxification and damage caused by industrial civilization

wouldn't it make more sense to end civilization than to leave the planet?

[AKOBADAGETHXIII]

Because we know many possible end senerios for this world one of them that will happen is the sun turning into a red giant star and disolve the Earth = everything dies. Your beliefs are nothing but feel good pipedreams.

[DEATHINKING]

i prefer the feel good pipedreams

as opposed to overexposure to the

sci-fi channel anyday !

[AKOBADAGETHXIII]

Since we both know you can't refute the facts I have outlined, the only thing left to ask you is this...

If you dispise civilization and love the hunter gatherer life then why don't you go join them?

[DEATHINKING]

because my cause & purpose is to

'destroy the machine'

nothing else matters!

[fckuvrymch]

right on.

[TEARDUCTER]

Dragonflies pass

and our paths are impeded.

But the changes they bring

might be just what weve needed.

Great video *****

[SubtUtiles]

This is so brilliant! What song is this? I'd love to read the lyrics, thanks! a.

[atlant80]

IDK, i like the first world comforts i hve, like clean water and food and modern medicine. Is my life better than the life of the trible people? Better is subjective. I don't think now I can live with them because I am so used to my first world lifestyle, but if I was born there, I would think trible life was the best thing possible. Maybe.

[pennilesscripple]

clean water?

clean food?

whaaa?

don't confuse the third world, which cannot exist without the first world, with indigenous societies

in civilization, forty percent of people have access to clean water

in indigenous societies, one hundred percent of people have access to clean water

[AKOBADAGETHXIII]

There is more violence in these primitive bands than in western society.

We also have better food water and live longer

[pennilesscripple]

more violence than napalm? more violence than atomic bombs? more violence than mountaintop removal?

you're kidding about the better food and water, right? there are no unpolluted rivers in streams in the u.s.

[AKOBADAGETHXIII]

Yes more violent, watch and learn.

[thoseofmiddlearth]

i've seen this movie

whats it called, butterfly effect or moth something i forget

[DEATHINKING]

[maik2007001]

Have tears in my eyes. Great video.

[SheepDogWarrior]

The letter reads: Give up your freedom, come and join civilization.

[jassi4010709]

heres the definition of civilization..

take everything you can get, destroy the land, pollute the water, kill the animals,ruin nature, steal, rape,murder,poison people, follow mindless religion,live your life devoted to pieces of green paper, dont help others, dont do anything a human would do, create war, kill innocent people, kill your own,dont give a fuck, love violence...

and if you dont like it, your UNPATRIOTIC

[SheepDogWarrior]

Jassi~

Could not have said it better than myself.

[TylerDurdenInc]

Hey.. I love your definition of civilization. I have a video on my channel called "what is civilization", can you leave this same comment there.. I would be grateful.

Of all the thinkers and anthropologists who've defined civilization, I like yours best!

[StrikingResemblance]

Here here! Well said, and so sadly true. Well, I guess I'm unpatriotic, and you know what? I'm perfectly happy to say it. I will not allow myself to be classified with that definition!

[ufohunter12]

great video stegal 5000000000000000stars lol

[Democrats08]

Join civilization so you can pay TAX on your land and everything

[mialst]

SO TRUE

[SlaveStorm]

The tribe isn't brainwashed by cult media. They know all they want is the land they live on so they can rape and pillage.

The fascist corporate nationalist patriot's motto, rape and pillage, rape and pillage, burn down your whole frikkin village yay team.

Ignorant unenlightened self interest thinks economic growth is all important and it doesn't matter how many Iraqis, Iranians, Serbs, Panamanians, Vietnamese, African, Korean, Palestinian, South American or even Americans it has to kill

[seay812]

It's more like give up your tribal life and join the slavery life!!! This is what freedom really is about, but we have been tricked into living in a way that is plain wrong, and in do time it will equal up to GENOCIDE, watch and see......

[SpamAnn]

wow those people live great :D

[ResearchX]

Perfecto!

[AngelCake58]

Excellent!!

[stegal]

SO DAMN BRILLIANT!!! 50.000 stars!

[Amicoyanez]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!BRILLIANT!

Thank you for sharing it with me, Stegal!

And for accepting the friend invitation.

[dnHooligan]

funking brilliant!

[friscol415]

fuck yea! they was ready to kill that mothafucka haha

[courtneyrao]

They're technically living in civilization as it is.  All civilization is is the art of living in cohesive communities--in this case, a village or small town.

This is coming from an Eastern Band Cherokee--we lived in towns much larger than this, but the American Southeast had a much better climate and could support more people.

[bbbleaver]

just when i thought i'd never laugh again...very cool.

[ItsFilthy]

This is great. Thank you for making it, and posting it. Respect!

[DEATHINKING]

thanx

[YourSuperiorSays]

[DEATHINKING]

[elichans]

ewe R kittinq white?

[DEATHINKING]

ABOUT WHAT?

[EverybodyONEartH]

not you man, ZzZ. liek splelnig really matters?

peACE! and thanks, your channel rocks.

[DEATHINKING]

if i spelt sumthin rawng can sumone pleez

korrect me

[zzz33333]

i don't give a fuck about spelling

the idea that we should all be working on is, "how can we present this most effectively to someone who knows nothing about it?"

this video does a really great job of doing that.

it looks really professional and perfect

then at the end it says "my son's" and stuff like that....

not for me, for them

[DEATHINKING]

just wait till I get my hands on that translator!

[REthinkEReLiztiKator]
