The most liberal thing I've ever seen. But really...needs qualifying. Discussing fashion at 14:56? Leave that out! Changing fashion's been around since clothes were different. People who make shoes want you to keep buying shoes? No fucking way! There's problems, but you're only convincing people who are already on your side. Leave in some economics and stop being so biased (calling corporations evil? Please). These problems are important, but I feel this will only drive people further away.
wtf? more than 50% of our taxes go to military? we're okay as it is, i mean, do we really need to be in a war? We're being on the offense, the middle east is in the defense. And don't give me that "we're protecting those people in those countries", let them take care of themselves. it's their country, let them handle it. Not to mention the gas prices to fuel those machines.
One of the most liberal videos I have watched in a long time. If your going to make a video like this add in true statistics and statements instead of just vague, generalized statements. Present both sides of an argument.
In all fairness, that bit about computers is not true. The processor changes fast, sure, but so does ram, operating system capabilities, and graphics needs as well as required hard drive space. There's a lot of products that are built to be obsolete, but computers are actually built to be as solid as they can be, they just can't keep up.
Yea end Capitalism! (even though we haven't had a capitalist structure since 1913) All you bright eyed socialist utopian dick heads can kindly pursue your financially destructive dreams in a former soviet block country. You guys have taken America and ruined it financially for long enough. China is still going to produce goods, regardless of if you successfully destroy what's left of US manufacturing.
@MooCowMilkshakes most other things in a desktop sc can be upgraded except for the CPU if the motherboard does not support eg multiple core CPU's. Why people buy new computers every other year to just check emails and be of facebook is beyond me.
The ignorance getting posted on this wall is staggering. What a joke of a country. Points like these made here will clearly not go down well among people who mentally tag words like 'liberal' as negative to the point that they deny global warming and other obvious scientific truths. Still, far more likes than dislikes.. must mean that only the ignorant are commenting while most have a head on their shoulders.
Ok to all you people saying that this is funded by people who worked in association with the Nazis need to get your heads out of your asses and really think about what you're saying. And to all the people who say her facts are bullshit, click on the little button on the description that says see more (I know asking to know more may sound like a very LIBERAL thing to do, but just do it) and click the thing that says "for all you fact checkers". Seriously people don't be so fucking ignorant
Trolls are always outraged when someone suggests that maybe we could be more practical and conscious of what we do. American culture is based on a fantasy of expanding dominion and "exceptionalism." The boom years post-WWII are long gone, and now "third world" economies seem healthier than ours. This video invites a review of the big picture, the same picture those inferior, wacky socialist Europeans, who have endured more wars and upheaval than we have, have taken very seriously for years.
@mookins45 hahahahahha, so whoever sees the absolute FAIL of the simplistic dumbass deceptive, socialist cartoons is a republican? Try something better, this is getting tiring.
I`m sorry to tell you guys, but when you say I like consumerism and I like my stuff - you are shallow. Shallow like a drought river. In your brain you have curves only to consume and work your job to sustain your consumption ability. And that is slavery. This system doesn't bring any good to our lives. That is why people kill for 100$ and crave for other stuff. This is STUPID. This system is ILL. IMO the biggest value is people, how we treat them, how we talk to each other, what are we thinking.
13:04 I agree with some of this video but you should edit this computer bit out. You have to know nothing about computers to think this. It makes you look like an idiot in front of a computer literate person.
@TheDeathofGrace I've built computers and if you break it down to it's simplest parts, this is a great summary. New CPUs (RAM/GPUs/etc) are not compatible with old motherboards. Every step of this video is simplified to give you a broader understanding. When's the last time you've upgraded/built a new computer? Many people only check e-mail, play online, and use minimal graphics. My computer a decade ago can do that. We don't need new computers, but people still buy them. How is the video wrong?
@TheDeathofGrace Your comment agrees with the video, which tells us that a system has been made to "force" us to buy new. High end games won't play on an old computer so it is obsolete, buy a new one. For a non-gamers that don't need a new computer there is perceived obsolescence (13:46) where they get you to think you need a new computer, even though your current one will work just fine (checking e-mails, surfing online).
Be specific. You seem to have no point, or fail to make it clear.
@Kuvter We aren't forced to do anything. Yes, we are highly motivated to buy new computers because they are better because we are a progressing species. Personally my dad has a 2 year old laptop that he bought for 400 dollars at the time. It is slow even checking email and surfing... 14:14 how can she possibly try spinning this to look like materialism. The old computer is heavy and the screen doesn't display as clear an image. Technology has progressed.
@TheDeathofGrace Also about GPUs not fitting... It isn't like people are just throwing away their computers. If it comes down to that then they sell their old one or keep it as a secondary computer. She says in her video "chuck it and buy a new one" I seriously hope people aren't throwing their computers in the trash can every year.
Materialism: "The theory or attitude that physical well-being and worldly possessions constitute the greatest good and highest value in life."
She's jealous of her co-worker's stuff (materialistic thinking). Her co-workers is giving in to materialism (everything has to match and be shiny for the co-worker to have value. She shows both sides of it. It's a great example of perceived obsolescence through materialism.
@Kuvter Just because you're jealous of your coworkers stuff doesn't mean you believe worldly possessions constitute the greatest good and highest value of life.
@TheDeathofGrace I agree with you, she could have used a better example, but she's trying to keep it short, some assumptions about the people's attitude have to be imposed.
It does however show perceived obsolescence, and that's what she was trying to show. Materialism is part of the problem, but you can be materialistic and not wasteful. e.g. If we us these methods 19:59 to create things that are completely reusable, even if we over-consume now eventually others will be able to use it later.
Although I agree with the message and the ideals that this video is trying to promote, the way that they present the information is terrible. They oversimplify things and try to make this problem seem like a black and white situation where all products and chemicals are evil. If they want to have a legitimate conversation about materialism they cant resort to the same tatics that the materialistic corporations use. They already won that battle. You have to use the truth. Keep trying though :D
I don't think everyone is getting the message of the video. Getting a new pair of shoes is less important than our social and moral values. The more we focus on improving ourselves in social status, the less we focus on how we talk to other people, how we treat others around us and how we treat our environment. Of course the demand for materialistic objects is high, and of course it brings us jobs. But that's not the point. We as people need to learn to preserve and improve social/moral values.
I am getting really tired of this liber b.s. That keeps telling us that if we are successful we are brainwashed, we are evil, and that if we would all just be poor, we would all be happy. Its a load of shit! That consumerism is what creates demand, which builds companies, which creates jobs. Where is the evil in that? If they would like to give up all of their possesions then do it! But dont tell me to.
@TheExecutiveDecision thats not the video is about. the video is about recycling and creating stuff that can be recycled and the unfair system we're in.
Listen to what the girl is saying man, its all true.
@djobele I apologize. The video must have been in a playlist because this is not the video I meant to comment on. I was commenting on a video in regards to consumerism. That is why my comment seemed random and confusing.
Maybe it's biased but it's showing you the side of things that nobody ever thinks or cares about. We are always thinking about things corporations 'give' us and sometimes we might even bother being grateful for them. Does anybody ever care about the people in Iraq, China, Mexico or Congo? The people that slaved and even lost their lives for us to get the things we want? No. So this, in my opinion, is a very refreshing point of view.
Tho I agree we should change, I am disappointed on how this message was sent. Not everything is purely evil. Trade hurt the environment but we wouldn't even have these computers, servers, and videos without capitalism. The 'evil' corporations are letting you run this video and the technology was developed through trade of ideas and resources.
It is better to show all sides rather than just slamming one side in favor of another. That is just as biased as the message you're trying to overthrow.
FUCK THIS VIDEO, AND FUCK ALL YOU BLIND LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES WHO CONSTANTLY COMPLAIN AND BLAME EACHOTHER AND NEVER LEARN MORE OR DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
@GSkouf93 You could at least talk nice, and hey my friend, you forgot the ' in you're just saying.

Many of the statistics in this video are incorrect. We actually still have 75% of our original forests and almost all of the deforestation in the U.S. took place prior to the 20th century. Not to mention statistics are widely known to be prone to favor the posited agenda, and usually abused. There are some good points made, but let's try to stick to facts
We live and we die. As a just a single selfish member of my society, I just don't care. Everything will die. Men. Planets. Stars. Universes. Everything will eventually end. So what does it matter.
I like my materialism. I like having things. People are who they are because the like and want material things in there life. If people didn't have material likes and wants then we would be just a bunch of monkeys sitting around doing nothing waiting for the next banana to grow on a tree. Materialism gives people a good life.
@westin1985 Materialism is not a bad concept. I like to use "stuff and products" and have a strong attachment to my "things". There are alternative methods to creating the products that don't waste so much. We are to create to have fulfillment, not consume. How about painting the banana while you wait for it to ripen?
At 7:19 you imply that a industry likes to keep the Third World poor. A good economy, no matter where it is, is good for everyone... including relevant industries. At around 9:34 you completely ignore what I'm sure you realize: costs are kept down by the scale of production (you DID pay for the radio, and it really DID cost that little). It could cost the same even if manufactured with social justice - no one has to get screwed over for cheap radios.
Finally - localization is good, but only to an extent. Localize too much, kill the markets that connect the world, destroy the financial and industrial infrastructure that unifies us, and it won't just be bad for the economy everywhere... it'll make people's lives dramatically worse all over the world. Things like democracy and freedom, modern medicine and science... these are products of highly-developed, industrial, and (above all) globalized societies.
Great video -- we have to take more care of our planet and the people on it. However, a fuller picture might have included the benefits of industrial globalization. It should also be recognized that the big multinational companies she vilifies are not justly characterized as proxy imperialists for the US. They're essentially self-interested, and while it seems possible that sometimes the goals of these companies and the US - say, in political stability in a region - overlap, they often don't.
This is probably just a Goerge Soros funded propaganda operation Goerge soros was a member of the nazi party in germany during WW2, he is a billionaire, owns Media Matters, and donated millions to the Obama campgain in 08. The leftist model is a failure the evidence is all over the ash heap of history. Obama will inflate the dollar to pay for his government programs taxing the poorest people who depend on the strength of a single dollar. OCCUPY LEFTIST PROPAGANDA
great video...although i didn't think the example of the computer made much sense. i've had my computer for 4 years, and upgrading only the cpu isn't a good idea because my computer as a whole wouldn't be able to handle the clock speeds. an example on cell phone (2 year plans) would've been more appropriate.
Pure propaganda. How funny that she uses EXACTLY the same methodologies that marketing and advertisers use from the "broken" system she is try to abolish to wash people minds. Funny huh
so, all that explanation, and what am I supposed to do? take down corporations? its a little useless, and this is a video arent they being a little hipocritical by showing this through a computer?
she is clearly a hippie. I just hope that since she is taking a stance against consumerism (and rightly so) that she is also partial to using natural resources in the way the were meant to be use. And of course by this i mean hunting and fishing. Seems like often enough people of this sort wouldn't think of killing an animal. But in fact it is one of the purest/natural/earth friendly way to put food on the table.
Furthermore, reducing toxins, reduces material waste use, so that will fall naturally too. And in reality technology will always evolve to use the most cheaply available material (free market principles) and so we will transition away from some metals and materials as we make them more rare. And there is a reason the Chinese agree to make our products and get poisoned, its better than the alternative of dying on the street, we once were in their place too! I just don't see the point of this vid
Such a depressing, sad outlook. Stupid and pointless as well... Toxins in products (especially in technology, I am constantly reading about it) are being reduced. Throw away mindset will never work, the whole reason that it developed is that evolution of technology was too fast to actually allow for a longer term use period. I mean, when your computer becomes slow, you can replace the processor alone, because to make the new processor actually good the manufacturer now uses a new transfer method

GREAT video. Lots of prescient, painful realities; which we American Consumers just don't take the time to consider.
Whether these statistics are exact or not, there can by no denying our culture has changed for the worse. We are destroying the planet. The air quality has gotten SO BAD, people are told not to make a fire in their fireplace . . . even while the weather is FREEZING.
It makes no sense. We need change. Drastic change.
I agree with most of her message, but her bit about computers from 13:00 to 13:30 is wrong and terribly misinforming. Yeah a new processor can't be used on an old motherboard because THE HEAT AT WHICH IT OPERATES AT WELDS IT TO THE MOBO. And plus, you can just replace the motherboard and processor and leave the rest of the computer intact.
@TheJasonCastle I'm pretty sure it was just an image so that everybody would get the idea. Every economy/environment concept in this video was pretty simply explained (otherwise it would have been a real pain for a lot of people to watch, enjoy the video and in the end have the will to change).
This was on TV earlier, she explains everything in a way EVERYONE can understand. No more excuses, share this video with everyone you know and start making people think and research further.
@BatmansArse NO! this video is full of lies and is a load of jibber jabber, people should be listening and watching and thinking to themselves, what a load of fucking shit. this video is one giant exaggeration of the problems in modern day corporate society
@jimithingjames Human Logic and common sense are proof enough that most of the things this woman talks about is rubbish, you clearly have no information about this issue therefore you get easily brainwashed by the way she communicates information, try reading articles and journals by academics and then you will know the truth.
Its true all of it is true.China mixes their toxic waste with plastic and makes toys and high levels of lead in their crayons. Someone should be shot!
to destroy the humanity and to make a worse and a difficult place , this world where your children..and their children ...and their children...will have to pay for a litter of water the same price that for a liter of gas nowadays.... Poor of you!! if you are from UUEE...you are so BLIND!
open more your eyes and your ears...and look around you ...because this is happening in front of your noses ...but you just are afraid about the changes!! ... dont want to evolucionate as fast the technology .... It is very sad see that there are people so young thinking like their ancestors, just because they are so lazy to work in another way....
but one day, you will realize that your "fscst way" of thinking only has been usefull to help
İ don't see why people dislike this. This woman has done her research, and knows what she i talking about. İ hate those ignorant fools that say they are research and scientific evidence against global warming and just cannot see the people and coorperations that make and steal money.
@seanki98 i don't understand myself. I've posted that to a forum i often go to, and the only comment i had was someone saying that this is just bull****T ? I will never understand how our race can be so reckless and stupid.
hijuputas gringos abran los ojos!!! ella tiene razooon no sean la desgracia de la humanidad!! xq ya es un hecho que la historia los va a recordar como unos despilfarradores masificadooos!
@mookins45 , yes, watching an ultra simplistic, deceiving pile of brain cells destroying bullshit is the smarter choice. Before calling someone a "republican" just realize how dumb you look like when taking your arguments from Cartoon Network type of movies.
Well, that sure was cute. Unfortunately, it's total diatribe. Computers are not obsoleted based on some conspiracy, and definitely not because only one component changes. Even technology illiterate people understand that. And anyone with half a brain knows that "global warming" is total crap! The message I got was, "stop working so hard, unionize every business so they're 'fair', government should rule all, and individual success through hard work is BAAAD!"... sounds like Socialism to me.
@dealgumboco I pity you. Carbon is a greenhouse gas, emitted by burning fossil fuels. Glaciers are melting- for instance, Tibet's glaciers will be gone in twenty years, and with them the irrigation water to feed China and India. The Hadley Cell is expanding nto the Southern U.S., creating a permanent dustbowl. It's already happening, you fool. But you just can't process this information. Instead, you're lost to a made-up story about 'unions' and 'socialism'. Honestly, I'm embarrassed for you.
@mookins45 Wow! Sounds like someone spiked your kool-aid with a heavy dose of pixie dust and unicorns! You conveniently forgot about the glaciers that are freezing back at an equally fast rate, but hey, no need to report fairly. You see, this has happened for the past 1000+ years, but it wouldn't be an effective battle cry if you told the whole story.
Oh, and I didn't tell the story, whack-job Annie did. I just paraphrased more accurately for her.
@dealgumboco Freezing happens every winter, that's the grain of truth in your propaganda. But the glaciers melt a lot more in the summer, that's why they're disappearing. Ask the Swiss- and make sure to flip them that shit about pixie dust and unicorns, just to demonstrate American stupidity.
@mookins45 Might want to do your research before blindly following your pied piper, algore. Pixie dust and unicorns, mook, pixie dust and unicorns. But hey, I'm sure you don't drive a car, eat meat, walk on grass or breathe oxygen, huh.
@bluejay8984 You poor lost soul. Fox Propaganda has taken your mind. But I'll try to appeal to your Reason, if you have any left: Every national science establishment in the world- Europe, China, Russia, Japan, EVERY ONE- agrees that human-caused Global Warming is real. You know who else thinks so? The U.S. Military. And the insurance corporations. But Fox Propaganda has made you blind to all that, has made you into a puppet on a string. It is a dreadful thing to see.
@mookins45 Wrong. Several ACTUAL scientists proved that "global warming" is a made up racket for algore to make some quick, BIG bucks! (I think they're now buried beneath the glaciers for speaking out) Don't believe me? Go do a little research on algore... look at the companies he owns large shares of that make gagillions of dollars "evaluating corporate sustainability programs" (riiight). Look at his house that uses more energy than a small city! Hang onto your ignorance, though.
12:40 - It's true, many products built over the last 10 years that have electronics have something called a "death chip", which causes the product to fail after a certain amount of usage. It is very apparent in computers.
Great video!! Even if some don't fully agree with it, atleast it gets you thinking and gives some perspective. It's much better than watching videos on why iPhone 4s is better than the already amazing iPhone 4. Apple is extremely guilty of perceived obsolescence.
@shahbaz99 How, exactly, does it give you "perspective"? Did you even think while you watched it? It's an absolutely ridiculous video, full of statistics and scenarios that are completely impossible to measure or substantiate. I can pull numbers out of the air and feed them to you with cute little stick figure drawings as well, if you'd like.
Progressivism / Liberalism / Statism advocates changes or reform through GOV'T action.
Give ANY politician or bureaucrat the power to "redistribute & regulate" OTHER people’s money & choices and they will ALWAYS pass laws to benefit THEIR “special interest” campaign backers; Banks, Wall Street, Military-Industrial Complex, Marxist Unions, Giant "Green" Corps, Big Oil, Pharma, Insurance etc.
Statism = Political Cronyism.
The Fed’s FIAT (counterfeit) debt-currency FUELS THE FIRE!
Does anyone who watches this silly lie even THINK for themselves? This entire video is by and for a global elitist group that CREATES famines, global warming by man nonsense, and a host of other dufus arguments that have no basis in fact!

@TheDeathofGrace I've built computers and if you break it down to it's simplest parts, this is a great summary. New CPUs (RAM/GPUs/etc) are not compatible with old motherboards. Every step of this video is simplified to give you a broader understanding. When's the last time you've upgraded/built a new computer? Many people only check e-mail, play online, and use minimal graphics. My computer a decade ago can do that. We don't need new computers, but people still buy them. How is the video wrong?

@TheDeathofGrace Your comment agrees with the video, which tells us that a system has been made to "force" us to buy new. High end games won't play on an old computer so it is obsolete, buy a new one. For a non-gamers that don't need a new computer there is perceived obsolescence (13:46) where they get you to think you need a new computer, even though your current one will work just fine (checking e-mails, surfing online).
Be specific. You seem to have no point, or fail to make it clear.
Kuvter 1 month ago
@Kuvter We aren't forced to do anything. Yes, we are highly motivated to buy new computers because they are better because we are a progressing species. Personally my dad has a 2 year old laptop that he bought for 400 dollars at the time. It is slow even checking email and surfing... 14:14 how can she possibly try spinning this to look like materialism. The old computer is heavy and the screen doesn't display as clear an image. Technology has progressed.

@TheDeathofGrace Also about GPUs not fitting... It isn't like people are just throwing away their computers. If it comes down to that then they sell their old one or keep it as a secondary computer. She says in her video "chuck it and buy a new one" I seriously hope people aren't throwing their computers in the trash can every year.

@TheDeathofGrace Agreed: "forced" ≈ perceived obsolescence ≈ highly motivated.
Materialism: "The theory or attitude that physical well-being and worldly possessions constitute the greatest good and highest value in life."
She's jealous of her co-worker's stuff (materialistic thinking). Her co-workers is giving in to materialism (everything has to match and be shiny for the co-worker to have value. She shows both sides of it. It's a great example of perceived obsolescence through materialism.

@Kuvter Just because you're jealous of your coworkers stuff doesn't mean you believe worldly possessions constitute the greatest good and highest value of life.

@TheDeathofGrace I agree with you, she could have used a better example, but she's trying to keep it short, some assumptions about the people's attitude have to be imposed.
It does however show perceived obsolescence, and that's what she was trying to show. Materialism is part of the problem, but you can be materialistic and not wasteful. e.g. If we us these methods 19:59 to create things that are completely reusable, even if we over-consume now eventually others will be able to use it later.

I don't think everyone is getting the message of the video. Getting a new pair of shoes is less important than our social and moral values. The more we focus on improving ourselves in social status, the less we focus on how we talk to other people, how we treat others around us and how we treat our environment. Of course the demand for materialistic objects is high, and of course it brings us jobs. But that's not the point. We as people need to learn to preserve and improve social/moral values.

Maybe it's biased but it's showing you the side of things that nobody ever thinks or cares about. We are always thinking about things corporations 'give' us and sometimes we might even bother being grateful for them. Does anybody ever care about the people in Iraq, China, Mexico or Congo? The people that slaved and even lost their lives for us to get the things we want? No. So this, in my opinion, is a very refreshing point of view.

At 7:19 you imply that a industry likes to keep the Third World poor. A good economy, no matter where it is, is good for everyone... including relevant industries. At around 9:34 you completely ignore what I'm sure you realize: costs are kept down by the scale of production (you DID pay for the radio, and it really DID cost that little). It could cost the same even if manufactured with social justice - no one has to get screwed over for cheap radios.

Great video -- we have to take more care of our planet and the people on it. However, a fuller picture might have included the benefits of industrial globalization. It should also be recognized that the big multinational companies she vilifies are not justly characterized as proxy imperialists for the US. They're essentially self-interested, and while it seems possible that sometimes the goals of these companies and the US - say, in political stability in a region - overlap, they often don't.

Furthermore, reducing toxins, reduces material waste use, so that will fall naturally too. And in reality technology will always evolve to use the most cheaply available material (free market principles) and so we will transition away from some metals and materials as we make them more rare.
