Bonobos

[ChelevSaRa]

The fact that scientists are using their intelligence to build weapons of mass destruction for people to point at one another is absolutely retarded. We should be using that intelligence to build technology that helps people - if we shared it with the rest of the world and realized how divisionary our seperate nations are, we would be capable of much peace and progress - not as a country, but as a world unified.

[kRc6660]

abit ideotic, learn what the ideolisim of Communisim and Fashonisim is... Islamic terrorisim? omg man thats saying all islams are terrorist, islam is a religion.. learn things before making somthing like this... Communisims ideology is nothing against humanity, and even in history did nothing against peoples outside of its country.

[kRc6660]

Oh, btw if its not hard, i would like to know the name of this song. Thank you.

Noctuary by Bonobo

[QuantumProphet]

@kRc6660 look, I apreciate many religions, Sikhs, Christians, Jews, Buddists,..but Islam (in the haddits and Quran) is highly charged with vitriolic hatred towards other religions....If you dont believe me get yourself to study THAT religion. My liberal upbringing taught me to defend religious beliefhs, but that is my western worldview....the Islamic worldview is different...subjugation of all under Islam.....

[QuantumProphet]

@QuantumProphet Christianity preaches subjugation of all to christ, but the violence in the new testament is directed only towards jews and it is ambivalent.....The directives for murder and so on in the torah are meaningless, as jews do not seek converts. Induism is 4 Indus, Budt for Buddists, and so on, so the only religion-problem is Islam, it should not be classed as "another religion" it is a political-religious ideology with world domination goals....I am talking about Islam, not folowers

[Odood19]

rock on!

[Subfightr]

We should really take a lesson from nature and be more like the bonobo.

[Flowerchild4love]

Be Bonobo - Make love, not war.

Thanks for the inspirational messages.

[andeyejah]

Hey chief hope your getting the leg over loads bonobas monkey love can't beat the wisdom!

[desheik]

We do what we can.

[andeyejah]

yessum check your right hand im sure your nephilim brother heehee!

[stinkbuttdog]

You carry with you a very strong vibe. I can feel it way over here. I enjoy your message and support you fully.

War is not for Man but for the lower orders, the aggressive instinct is no longer selectable. It's up to evolution now to bypass the warmonger. They themselves will be eradicated if not by their own initiative then by the very communities they live in and depend on.

Time will pass them by, the world shall be inherited by the meek.

It's up to us now to weather storm until then...

[kittiehart]

very poignant, astute political and economic analysis, short and to the point, with word-meme coinage -- military socialism - right on

[poole609]

respect for the soundtrack ;]

[TheToltec]

Great Video

[oceanwaves83]

right, it really is about luck, as selection cannot pick out adaptive traits. rather, one must wait for a mutation, and can only hope that it is adaptive (increases reproductive fitness). For a trait to emerge and spread that would be resistant to ONE DISEASE could take thousands of years or more, disregarding the many other STD's out there.

[oceanwaves83]

delusional*

[theawesomestawesomer]

Bobobos are the funniest animals on the planet!

[MFRedeemerp2]

great job! loved it

[farneyblakeley]

Bonobos are just a bunch of fuckers

[DeletedDelusion]

True, but wouldn't we be better of if humans would be fucking with eachother to solve tensions instead of killing eachother?

[farneyblakeley]

If bonobos ever decide it is their lot as a species to dominate every inch of the globe all communal fucking will be off and tribal warfare will ensue with a new emphasis placed on sex solely for reproduction in the interest of keeping females subservient to the will of the warrior males. By denying females the right to exercise their own judgment in sexual matters the pursuit of tribal supremacy will supplant the pursuit of pleasures. The males will be circumcised also. Praise Yahweh & Allah!

[DeletedDelusion]

Poor bonobos, I doubt that they'll achive greater, long lasting happiness by this.

LOL

[oceanwaves83]

STD's would kill off mankind. gg delisional

[DeletedDelusion]

Of course, if most individuals within a species have a lot of intimate interaction with changing partners the risk of STD's spreading is much higher, but it also increases biodiversity.

If the biodiversity is high enough within a species there is always the chance that certain people are able to survive because of genetic variation.

Sadly the suvivability of all species is tested constantly on our planet.

Millions of fascinating lifeforms were wiped out by this gruesomely harsh process.

[DeletedDelusion]

It's about luck, risk management and balance.

[mgrone99]

You're wrong to call natural selection a "gruesomely harsh process", more like blind, pitiless indifference

[DeletedDelusion]

I agree, it's indifferently blind and pitiless, but I think seen from the perspective of the people or animals affected, it seems harsh and gruesome.

[windham666]

read the excellent article in this months national geographic about the effect of modern weapons on the ancieent feuds in the sahel, africa. the switch from rocks and stick to ak-47s (eleven moving parts) has resulted in the violence an genocide now occurring there (darfur, chad, congo, etc.)

[littlejimmydickens]

I wish people could be more like animals...

[vonijoe]

The video barely features bonobos, but here's my real point:

The apes, along with other highly intelligent creatures with familial structures, should be reclassified as people. Then maybe they'd stand a better chance of surviving for eons to come, as they deserve to.

After all, how much longer before we humans DON'T deserve to exist any longer? We're getting there -- slowly but surely, we are getting there.

[desheik]

Or we could realize we are animals and restore the sacred to all of life as opposed to a rich aristocratic WASP group.

[SpaceCarnivora]

Leading primatologist, Frans De Waal puts it neatly, the Chimpanzees resolves sexual issues with power, the Bonobo resolves power issues with sex.

[roodala]

cool music, no really i like it.

[ccoraxfan]

Mankind has been at war almost since we got kicked out of the garden... and you think this video will make an iota of difference? You are very naive...

[SpaceCarnivora]

what garden? Im assuming garden of eden? You sir are delusional.

[ccoraxfan]

You seem to have missed my point.

[SolAurum]

Stupid hippie liberal peacenik. Nazism, communism and islamofascism are real threats. You would have us bend over for them. Sometimes the only solution is war, because people are just too stupid to see that their beliefs are wrong.

[desheik]

I would have you bend over for some peace pipe.

[bearballsruffian]

Excellent may i join my brothers?.

[noellennon]

That sort of thinking won't get us anywhere. Though it may be inevitable, giving into war leads to more war.

[bearballsruffian]

Chimps are only violent when living close to humans.When they are far away from the virus called humanity they don't even eat each other and thats a scientific proven fact.When you see them in the jungle they are more chilled than a rastafarian!.

[SolAurum]

Not true, new research has proven that chimps naturally engage in warfare... and humans are genetically closer to bonobos than chimps.

[bearballsruffian]

Prove what you say homo erectus!.

[bearballsruffian]

SolAurum your a lying piece of filth.Prove what you say.I suppose you think your superior eh?.

[tinotrivino]

I once saw a bonobo shaved beleived me i really thought it was a humanbeeing withthe "down syndrom" :-o

[SierraBloom]

This beautifully done video is likely waaay beyond the mentality of most of the dimrods out there.

[smileykai77]

This video will be featured on my page. I have no questions. I understand everything that you talk about or try to convey in this video... I will pass on this message. I do not want to be a slave no more.

[8rf]

Desheik, I really love this video. Ok, so there is a music band called "Bonobo"?

I agree on the message.

[desheik]

Yeah, great band, instrumental. On the ratings I think it was the terrorist outfit and the fact that I lured them in with promise of Lindsay Lohan and instead gave political dissent.

[8rf]

Hahha, yes you lured them. Keep on the good work. I enjoy it.

[zerstorer42]

On se croirait vraiment dans le 93!!

[bonobo18]

Bonobo's are the rarest of apes most people haven't ever heard of them referals to them as cute monkeys echoes this lets face it humans will never be extinct These apes are nearing extinction because of human behaviour instead of focussing on political shit why not put your energy into something that's going to be lost..don't use something this precious to voice your meaningless political bullshit!read back all of your comments thats a war in itself hypocrite's

[desheik]

I am not sure I get your point. We are destroying the world along with the Bonobos through war based economic expansion. The only way to help them is to change our ways. I don't see hypocrisy in that.

[bonobo18]

actually I think you get my point... we are destroying our human world regardless... even if we don't try...we have a choice in our actions unfortunately our primates don't have a choice they just have to deal with the scraps of survival we can offer them.....I just felt with the arguments that I read in these responses that it has no point and even though these people feel they are against war they are in conflict with eachother....

[desheik]

Well I see what you are talking about, a lack of unity of purpose. This video was made kind as a sequel to one titled "War, what is it good for?" I was amazed at people defending war as morally justified and saying things like people have always been agressive. The Bonobos to me were a perfect example of the way primate society could be structured or based on love and sex and intimacy and caring instead of chimp like agression and dominance.

[neuronnetwork00]

hi! very happy to read this. I live as a bonobo since years and live a very happy life.

Human society is retarded compared to ours.

Compassion, love, fun, work.

same adress without 00 at hotmail dot com

[neuronnetwork00]

I hope once my (very little, i admit ) bonobo style community will receive a peace of land and sovereignty. I know it is just a dream.

My (national) origins are so multiple that I got easily and early aware of the emptiness of the human cultures. I met a few bonobos and discovered who I am.This is sound ludicrous,i know,but this is no hoax. compassion,love,fun,work

[neuronnetwork00]

I meant "piece of land". Funny lapsus calami.

[id38tube83]

I won't let you exploit me !!

[desheik]

Are you a Bonobo?

[desheik]

"Industrialized" means using a manufacturing base to kill civillian populations and by definition could not have existed before the industrial revolution.

[LoomisLoftis]

Industrialized warfare has been around since the first ape man sharpend a stick and stabbed something with it.

[ohpdrdice]

that track is sick.let me bless it"please"

[16777216]

neat

[desheik]

noctuary by bonobo

[JHasH88]

great vid. listen i have to kno wat the name of the track is. i need it.

[brparks85]

Apes, not monkeys.

[xenosoldier]

Slavery and poverty have always existed and are each distinct entities, war is simply a more large-scale expression of mankind's individual failures. We get in fights as children and we grow up and fight over the same things only with guns. It is man's unwillingess to act with rationality and compassion, his ability to convince himself of lies, that brings war upon us all.

[freesouljah]

right on...

[fabditty]

Good vid and powerful images. Your art engages people into discussion, which is good.

[kevingomez2006]

what a weird fuked up video

[wmc1982]

with all the Nuclear technology, it is already too late. It is only a matter of time, before someone presses that big red button.

[MaxFubarProductions]

One world, one people, many shades, all going extinct.

[MaxFubarProductions]

We are the last generations, humanity is going extinct. We have fouled our world, our minds and our souls for the sake of a very few. We are all guilty.

[4R3Sh]

song name?

[jahyatollah7]

he is naive because he doesnt have a cohesive statement about anything, really...its a bunch of non-related platitudes looped over goddamn ying yang signs. i mean, everything he stated indicated that he probably fell on the same side of issues as i do, but its this sort of washed out vagueness that gives even crazier opposing people ammunition and credibility.

[desheik]

i f i had a three hour documentary format we could get down to specifics. This is YOUTUBE. Amateur video entertainment, crap resolution and terrible fidelity. I try to raise some issues and do something interesting visually in three minutes. Naive your nose up my ass.

[theredpill99]

great video...man...I think this might be your best one...

[BuckMeHoff]

Typical pacifistic propaganda brought to you by some dumb ass libtard .

[Neg1213]

I'll check to that! He has to be a "head in the sand Liberal"!

[richw4]

slavery was defeated by some great people such as William Wilberforce who was one of the most well known scholars of my school here in the UK.

[joshuame505]

What the hell are you trying to say with your high on weed video? Come back to civilization please.

[Mayoku]

naive hippie

[theredpill99]

how is he naive?...make a video of your own or state some reasons why he is naive...lets get a debate going...don't just sit there and do nothing like most every other american...speak out about it...

[kramlafup]

watch?v=y-w5suIPq_U

[Neg1213]

HMMM! The person seems to be a little naive about World affairs!

[og38]

you can not call islam as terrorizm. you should be careful about this.

[STEVEMAC327]

you should have had naked chicks in the background then i would of cared about your message and maybe even spread it.

[rightwinged]

That got stupid in a hurry. I won't even get in to how idiotic the "evolution"/monkey thing is.  But I'm just curious, were you making videos of outrage over Saddam killing hundreds of thousands to 2 million? What about other Islamists? Yeah, that's what I thought.

[AbsolutePandemonium]

War has existed since the dawn of mankind and in a hundred thousand years war will still exist.

[yugen]

Good video... But... hmm... If you're a sincere buddhist maybe you know what I mean.

[mryantaylor]

naive

[fotoco]

we are champion

[livinitupe]

Nice beat

[larkydozer]

Naive Marxist take on human events.

[yugen]

You're ridiculous.

[larkydozer]

That's just the sort of petulant, childish response given by people who've never had to partake in reasoned argumentation.

[yugen]

It's shortsighted of you to label someone a Marxist based on what you've seen from this video. You fail to realize that what you're responding to has more to do with your fears than it does anyone else's faults.

[larkydozer]

Look at the form of the analysis, you'll see it's very much a Marxian view. Many folks who've never studied his work or Engles are somewhat Marxist by default without even knowing it. Your crack about fear says more about your ahistorical vision than it does my emotional state... something you could not possibly have knowledge of.

[alexpudas]

Song is

Bonobo - Noctuary

Dial "M" for Monkey album

[danielki85]

This video is one of the worst I have ever seen. Who cares about monkeys fighting. IF you are trying to make a good argument, you should go stick a paintball gun in your ass and see what color it turns your colon.

[Nogert]

OBVIOSLY there are people pro war or there wouldn't be any war dumbass

[ronniehoffman]

this could possibly be the gayest video i have ever seen!!!! you should just delete it from youtube.

[threeheadedbaby]

thank you for posting this...i was feeling like i have no voice today...you made me see that i do...thank you...5 stars...tre'

[whwong85]

what is the background music name?

[kramlafup]

watch?v=y-w5suIPq_U

[locitopup]

lol "monstosity of an edit"!

what a jerk lol

[locitopup]

nice... the bonobos are cute and i think your vid cured my hangover.

[rickyeglacias]

im sorry i didnt watch this monstrosity of an edit but fax me the bullet points

[brian5788]

-- old people are stupid

-- we need change

-- love your music

[ardnut46]

this sucks, check out rabbi lewis wedgie for real entertainment

[grostami]

In the wise words of SOAD . . .

"Why don't presidents fight the war?

Why do they always send the poor?"

[grostami]

All I have to say to those of you who are pro War is "If you love War so much, stop typing shit on YouTube and get your ass on the battle field and start practicing what you preach . . . the sooner all of you war lovers die, the sooner we can have some real peace."

[stuka80]

why the 20-30 sec pauses and worthless clips in between phrases? btw too broad and a very weak explanation on why we wage war and is very narrow on it's view and timeframe.

[JaysFan5]

im a shia muslim and for once im happy saddam is gone.. that bastard was a sunni and his whole regime was based on torture and repression. Go Bush!

[Saleucami]

You're not a shia muslim, you're just an ass.

[JaysFan5]

if you like saddam so much.. bush should kill retards like you too. you are just scum

[atixcrossfire]

peeps look at my vids

[sa88]

um... why is this comedy?

[Vasilios92]

Korean anti-American propaganda at it's finest

[dipshit85]

The point of war is to bring peace.

[charlt303]

because that always works so well

[wheatthins15]

well that was a waste of time

[Spider6994]

left-wing moron

[Sarmonster]

And I suppose you have a clever or intelligent response to this video? I'm all eyes, if you will.

[naxan90027]

was it wrong to allow rtdem to post comments on youtube?

[tailbushy]

Do we have to swallow all your adolescent attempts at deconstruction to believe that Bush is a morally challenged moron and this war was a terrible decision?

[hiker64]

Excellent video, nice editing, transitions and graphics.

[mrjohnnynofear]

oh shit...Nevermind

[mrjohnnynofear]

where can I get that damn song?

[rtdem]

Address these questions in a video: Was it wrong for Europe to go to war against Napoleon? Was it wrong for the US to go to war against the Confederate States? Was it wrong for countries to go to war against Germany causing WWI? Was it wrong for Countries to go war against Germany and Japan causing WWII? Was it wrong for international forces to expel the invaders of kuwait *dont give me oil BS, just address whether it is wrong to defend another country*

[gregdodgemopr]

simple answers for simple people

[desheik]

It helps when u r slaughtering on a huge scale to have a really hyped moral justification but, yes, war is wrong.

[rodrigo1508]

To me war is wrong and in most cases what motivates the war is the begining of the mistake, always someone wanting more of something.

[Saleucami]

Don't give me is it wrong to defend my country shit, terrorism doesn't have a nationality, when you're using conventional warfare against international terrorists in a country that doesn't support them in the first place already meant it wasn't about defending your country.

[myredpagesdotcom]

I think watching monkeys hump would be more educational than that...

[eikels]

Bonobo sings in U2,right ?

[ixolibms]

wtf?

[CaptainJackCalgary]

nice... would love to show it at one of our media nights... would you mind, if not, is there anything else you would like us to show?

[dafttool]

Bonobo chimps make love, not war, while traditional chimps have been documented as engaging in war, murder and cannibalism. ---I wonder which species man is closer to evolutionarily since we share 99% of the same DNA?

[zegreeenbuds]

Very cool! Buddha Rocks!

[da228kibbles]

Aw look at the cute little monkeys!

[zaphod2]

i dont like your videos and your wanna-be-top-auto-refresh-atti­tude, but bonobo produces some awesome music.

[wndmountain]

Very real, sad truth

[Maximilian1987]

Yeah this sure is quality comedy. :/

[D4Shawn]

Your videos are absolutely brilliant in every respect!

[rbian1]

Pretty Trippy.

[JOYOUSONEX]

he peasants pay for war and then are expected to fight it!!

[RuiFranciscoVieira]

fantastic video men you are very good

[jmccoy1986]

mkay

[desheik]

Please don't let me hear anymore crap about Cheney planning WWIII in order to protect my right to free speech.

[rtdem]

Address these questions: Was it wrong for Europe to go to war against Napoleon. Was it wrong for the Union States to go to war againts the Confederacy? Was it wrong for the France, Britian, and US to go war against Germany, being WWI? Was it wrong for France, Britian, US to go to war against Germany and Japan in WWII?

[Truthiness231]

Could Saddam Hussein have taken over the world? XP

.. and if you say anything else but "no.. sry for being stupid" then you just don't want to admit that you're rant was way out in left field..

[rodrigo1508]

IMO no they where not wrong but napoleon and germany and everyone who started those wars were wrong at starting them or the agressions that motivated them. I consider civil wars a little diferent because its only in one country and mostly they dont have more interest but the people in it.

[theredpill99]

rtdem, how are those arguments relevant to what we are discussing today?...We weren't alive in those years when other wars were happening...we have to discuss what we know here and now and what we know is that Bush, Israel, the zionists likely planned 9/11 and are using it to further their own agendas...

[rtdem]

red....that is not what is being discussed. This video is about War, period in and of itself, the poster of this video believes all war is wrong, see his/her comments below. So if all war is wrong was then it must have also been wrong for any to fight back when attacked or defend anoter country

[barneyfoos]

Nice one Socrates. Redutio ad absurdum at its absolute worst...

[rtdem]

here is the video posters quote "It helps when u r slaughtering on a huge scale to have a really hyped moral justification but, yes, war is wrong."
