Work Consume Sleep Repeat

[SporadicTroll]

The system is too well constructed. I just wanna escape from pain and loneliness and this point.

[Knightus100]

This pretty much sums up all of America. Go buy the new I-phone, The new I-pad, A brand new car, for no reason just to show off status. Keep feeding the machine. It's not like anyone suffers for everything that we take for granted... Ignorance is Definitely Bliss... Volitaire speaks briefly of the evils of materialism in the book Candide Chapter 25 I believe. What you own ends up consuming you...

[darkbyke]

fuck.. life just feels so goddamn pointless. we should be creating things as men, not living this false matrix of lies. men are the productive ones in society, while women spend our hard earned money and trap men into the routine with marriage trap.

[deathtolltally]

Best video on youtube period.... Damn my life sucks... caught up on the wheel of death... Jesus I need you now!

[MrAubery]

you forgot...drug yourself

[slickdickdafoola]

the message is you suck ...all you are is what they sell you. you are what they tell you.

almost no one on here has a single thought of there own. you disagree OK how many do you support war? who supports murder of people they don't know? now who has spoken out against it except for me. most humans are trained monkeys with shirts and a pay check that cant do for self or think 4 self. viva la revolution

[gninja92]

@slickdickdafoola actually my answer is YEs to all 3 of your questions. its just too sad, cause th escary thing is not " ppl don't know this" its " ppl don't care" they really do not care. they like appearances not maenings. they like fun not work. they like easy and quick not hard and long. they like to receive not give. they like to brag not take action. they like to sit on the couch, not stand on the lincoln memorial surrounded by millions of others who support them in their cause to be free.

[slickdickdafoola]

@gninja92  truth be told

[kskorcz]

first of i agree that americans are being conditioned and have become consumers instead of producers but whats the point to this video are we not to buy anything i mean really. i dont shop at walmart or big chain stores and i try to buy only american made goods but if i buy an ipod cause i like music or this computer which lets me see your message i dont think iam bringing down america. so what exactly are you saying with this video dont shop dont spend any money?

[moqutpar]

You suck!

[IHighLikePlane]

Its time to end this appalling social structure called the Monetary System. Research the Zeitgeist movement if you want to know the real reasons why this system is broken, and what we can do to create a better world for all.

One of the best vids I've seen in a long time. Wow. I'm almost speechless. Brilliant. Thanks for uploading and linking.

[goatshredder]

It's correct, but all it did was wash your consciences.

[musicfreak133]

i need help, im planning to do a video of this style (obviously not as good) for a class. so i need to know does this video have a storyline???

Thanks

Squigglevision FTW!

[iAMr3VOLution1]

easily one of the best youtube channels i have come across yet.. Do work son

[Blexieblexie]

Like the slaves who built the Egyptian pyramids, today we are stuck building an invisible pyramid of monetary power. Our current system of monetary servitude is inherently selfdestructive and already in the process of collapsing. What replaces it depends entirely of the broadly percieved analysis of the breakdown. Complacent ignorance - authoritarian control and ecological collapse. A critical mass of people awakened - collective prosperity and individual freedom on a level unseen before. ★

[elvi84]

the truth hurts this needs to be a commercial on TV people are living in a fantasy world especially, BET MTV VH1 E viewers

[planetoperator]

still raging ! boycott BP ..oil must be stop.

[RevengeOfTheAbyss]

Leave the sheeple alone, they don't have souls and they only live once.

[Yoshies87]

Oh come on, how is this possible>? just 7506 views since 2008? I think this should be on MTV!

[Shehasnomorals]

@Yoshies87

The dumb masses do not want reality. They prefer illusion...

[puristproductions]

Man after my own heart. Pretty fucking savage mate, well done ;)

[Hopllyte]

Thought provoking material has no place on you tube. I only want to see the next person fucking Tiger Woods. I only care about the ipad and all of its wondeful uses. I can wait to see if Brittney Spears shaves her head again. Or the massive slam dunk from the NBA last night. This cartoon makes my head hurt... I havent felt this horrible the last time my professor asked me for independent thought.

[xxstarchildxx]

p.s great videos- the one on fear particularly helped me, thankyou :)

[xxstarchildxx]

I don't think that consuming things is inherently bad, it's just the world promotes profits over people, which leads to discontent and misery. Together as consciousness we are infinitely more valuable than material goods, which have a sell by date and are inanimate. Love is essential whereas material items provide only temporary pleasure I see nothing wrong with enjoying life, but I understand now why certain religions practise fasting- to return to simplicity and awareness of the essential

[unloads]

@xxstarchildxx The fasting is really quite helpful. My girlfriend is islamic and she fasts for their holy days. I took up fasting with her and and it does put things in perspective.

The big step for most people is to instill an active consciousness of our purchases. You say the world promotes profits over people, but WE are the world. It is through yours, mine, everyone's decisions and actions that we spread a greater sense of community and re-connect with this life.

[4NrAGS]

that's ill to combine that documentary with some Saul Williams. word up.

[666Pestilince666]

if we were able to share things, this would be too easy, then the people in power wouldn't feel as powerful

[unloads]

@666Pestilince666 We can share just about everything. Why do you feel unable to do so?

[rabbitspliff]

i still watch tv, but only stuff like david attenborough and top gear.

DFS can get fucked, i don't want another bloody sofa, this one's fine!

oh and i've just remembered, everyone try go back to the pre 60's waste not want not attitude. leftovers meals, hand-me-down clothes from older cousins, and a personal favourite of mine, reusing tea bags :D

[unloads]

@rabbitspliff Another good mentality to have is to only purchase items that will last. Try to only buy good quality items that you see yourself possibly handing down to your children and avoid disposables.

[accidentsinspace]

And we will never ever be released from this cycle. It's too late. Suckers!

[unloads]

@accidentsinspace You can always choose. There is always choice.

[Neurolanis]

That's how it is...pretty disgusting cycle. Good video!

[curiouschem]

cool art work

[tonamewith]

Stupidity is so appealing.. We all travel from idiocy to genius.

[JasonKlassenMusic]

great vid pretty much nailed it. I like the tv you suck. I don't watch it anymore I find it insulting. Thanx for the vid

[UTBESUX]

Man, yes, that's me but the only thing is that I hardly can sleep after realizing the facts of 911, the corporate greed, our future etc, Even then times seems to have robbed us, how time "flies".....

[thefreealma]

this infos fucked up my life

the truth hurts

[taskforcecomputer]

who funds this ?

[worldoperator]

making my rounds rage.. ∑≈∆º  ...we got em on the run. we can't be stopped.

[TheNaturalWoman]

Right On! The message of this video is the absolute truth. When we consume (especially when we over-consume) it makes the corporations wealthier. It helps the bankers get richer, while it makes us poorer. The advertisers and marketing analysts know how to artfully make us crave the things we want rather than purchasing the things we need. Open your eyes. Learn how the corporations and the corporate media works!!!

[SlimD11]

I couldn't have said it any better :)

[TheNaturalWoman]

Thank you, friend.

[Borgerlig64er]

@TheNaturalWoman lol your logic doesn't work.. if we get poorer why do we buy it then?

we buy it because it's a good deal for us.

[RichardRich2089]

@Borgerlig64er That's the whole point. People work to consume things they don't need while going into debt, and making the bankers rich through big business. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. TheNaturalWoman emphasized how people OVERCONSUME to the point where they end up penniless.

[Borgerlig64er]

@RichardRich2089 lol so you would prefer to stay in the midage? Our standard of living has improved because we consume not the other way around...

No one gets poorer 200 years ago most of the population couldn't afford food, schooling and such but today it's no problem

[RichardRich2089]

@Borgerlig64er What midage? We are not living in the Middle Ages if thats what you mean. Of course technological advances have helped to move society forward, and the only things that are necessary for consumption are food and water, and utilities such as electricity. We even need clothes on our backs. But the point I was trying to make is societies need to consume things of lesser value. Mainly things of materialistic value. Things we don't depend on in order to survive.

[Borgerlig64er]

@RichardRich2089 but why do you think we have evolve from the middle age?

[gninja92]

@Borgerlig64er 200 hundere dyears aog there was no school but everythign other than "do as the pope commands" was blasphemy punishable by hanging.

[gninja92]

@Borgerlig64er no, we buy it casue we seek satisfaction, but we never find it. cause it can' be found on earth. not permanent satisfaction and this is what society fails to see.

[bluenick305]

@gninja92 Exactly, and without satisfaction leads to a feeling of emptiness which in turn feeds to over-consumption whether it is consciously or sub-consciously. We seek happiness in the form of material items, especially when the advertisements for items equate happiness with their products. Look up the documentary 'Philosophy: A Guide to Happiness' to see what some of the greatest philosophers had to say about the subject.

[0xCIPHERx0]

things we own end up owning us (fight club)

and society is trying to destroy every rebellion act

[Georgebushpimps]

scary this is no exageration our daily routines work to hypnotize us further keep us distracted and unaware

[planetoperator]

i see it in everyone's eyes....

[stvbw]

shootthemessenger33 you just go ahead and enjoy life. I'm sure your children will appreciate your care and understanding when we've consumed the planet for your Nike sports shoes and supersized Macs. If your looking for something constructive to do how about removing your head from your backside. There are masses of people out there struggling just to survive. Spare them at least a thought.

[vincentdwp]

nice choice from niggy. hey isnt it a shame people dont get it do they. weve been domesticated i bet society would collapse after 3 days of no electricity or better yet 1 weekend of no access to money

[Torcika]

just 1 day

[00Visions00]

F*ck that I live in a house with out your presious electricity for like five mounths now and im just fine. You people have become too dependant on bullsh*t.

[dontlistentomeimmute]

wow good for u man.

[00Visions00]

I cant tell is that sarcasm?

[dontlistentomeimmute]

oh no, i admire people who knows how to live their lives without stuff like electricity and other things that we thought we can't live without..

[seth1hades]

@00Visions00 How do you run your computer then?

[00Visions00]

I dont have one, I use my friends when I'm at their place. You know how it goes, maby. Peace be with you.

[shootthemessenger33]

Another elitist who makes arrogant judgements on the alleged meaninlessness of the common man. Who are you to judge lives. and I doubt you really know anything about those you judge.

[tristanXIV]

don't forget to take your regular opiates like entertainment, sex, religion, consumerism etc.

[shootthemessenger33]

Yes, we're so stupid and bad because we want to enjoy life, enjoy our reproductive urges, believe in god(s)/spirituality, and buy things. So, mr enlightened, since you obviously consider yourself better than 90% of humanity, do tell me...if we cant think/indulge in any of these things what should we do?

[tristanXIV]

90% of humanity? what an exaggeration.

I don't think that most humans live like that, especially when half of the world's population lives on less then 2 dollars a day. I don't think they can be consumer addicts like you. it's you the one who lives like that.

it seems like those opiates are the means to be happy but the ends themselves. So the meaning of life for you is indulgence and hedonism. And maybe you are right, but is kind of sad. that we will our downfall--look at the economic crisis

[Superchargerman]

So all of the people who lived before us, and didn't participate in ultra consumerism must not have enjoyed their lives? How was a man in the 1700's even happy? I mean he didn't even have MTV.

This country lives off of the sweatshops of the world. So that people could continue to worship their god, CONSUMERISM.

[elitesoilderofgod]

yo are correct thats what the elitists treat us like and think we are

[Torcika]

you don't have to know shit about them.you just have to see in what way they obstruct life...

[christian22016]

This is a great video to show kids to explain to them how screwed up our world is!!!

Very deep.

amazing video. i try to talk my friends and family out of buying stuff they don't need , yet they can't hear.. i still keep trying..

ohh. NM.. I misunderstood. DOH !! lemmie get this mud off My face now. lol

[NorthernLight12]

With time most will realize that it is not about constantly adding things to your life to make it better, but how many useless things you can remove which gives it true fulfillment.

[freightmaster3]

When we've consumed all there is to consume, we will be sitting there homeless, shelterless and thumbs up our asses!

Great video, and peace while possible.

...You will go back to work and school and continue to use money that was printed by your government, pay taxes, and bow down to the religious rules that were implemented by them.

We are not free in any sense of the word.

[Theywontchipme]

MONEY IS printed by the private "federal " reserve. It is technically not the government, good point nonetheless.

google executive order 11110

[jensenium]

C'mon people...you watch a cartoon after finishing work or school and then you claim stake to Utopian liberty? Do you really think distributed anarchy is a better system? Go to Somalia and let me know.

George Orwell's 1984 was written in 1949, and it was a clear message that world government was well on its way to succeeding. Face it, as long as the majority of society views concepts such as "The Queen", "The Church", and "The President" as some moralistic zenith - nobody will be free....

[Theywontchipme]

reality is what you choose to make it, influence in the way you see fit and you can have no regrets :)

[UBER069]

agreed-it is a universal constant that it has always been easier to destroy than to create. Personally I think the meaning of life is to live, but there are far too many people on this planet that think your life is meant to serve them. The only way out of this vicious cycle is sacrifice, history has shown us this time and again. I won't go down without a fight tho. Anyone else?

[VoidedDreams]

I fav and Featured for my forum friends.

Great video.

[MiHaLaKiS666]

freedom to ower time freedon to awer lifes.

fight for anarchy-fight for freedom

[uberjim83]

Agreed. It's best not to dwell on how others act; if you have awakened to something, then act according to your new knowledge. If someone notices you acting differently, then that means they might be open to that change themselves, and you should tell them about it.

On the other hand, maybe you just think you've woken up, when you're really just having a different dream from everyone else's!

[KenCat1337]

I'm fucking sick of the socially hierarchical structures of the exploitative, capitalistic and oppressive system that shits out corporate politicians who use propaganda to convince the mass society that they are free..

..Free to obey.

Viva liberty, viva equality -- FIGHT BACK and one day, we will have peace and freedom.

if everyone would stop consuming needless things, the politicians lost power.

I stepped out of this paradigm years ago, my life is so far removed from this that this clip looks like a sci-fi nightmare.

Join me!.. get rid of your televisions, always buy or request fair trade/organic goods and love yourselves... Our numbers are growing.

We can break down this suckie system. Be the change!

(Do I sound preachie? sorry, it's just - what i do..)

Great Song and Great Video.. Yes we all been trained since birth that Consumption is more Important then Life that is why on our B-day we want Gifts over celebrating the day we was born onto this Shit Place we call Earth! For Christians Dec 25 th. is for Birth or aka. Life what we do to celebrate this Day Buy More Gifts to then compete who can buy the Most junk that no one needs and forget the Reason we celebrate this DAY!

Excellent video! Good material to show children and to make them aware of consumptionpaterns. Or would it be a bit controversial to show a video as this to little children? I think children can have a great effect on parents. Just my opinion. I know that there are laws in the EU which forbid to make commercials which may change childrens opinions.

But one way or the other, they are the future and must be open eyed.

[Badwolf182]

somtimes i watch ppl - carrying several bags of shopping. i usally go to do groceries. i see the same ppl most weekends -full of more stuff. Have wondered many times HOW MANY life times they would need to ACTUALLY use all of it. mind boggling.

infact lindsey lohan has 5000 pairs of shoes -we worked out that if she wore them just once a yr - it would take her apprx 13.6 yrs to wear all of them LOL unless of course she's a caterpillar

[menderfire9]

good math, although you left out the fact that her pattern of being trendy and shopping to buy the latest is excellerating as the world turns and her income increases so would her shopping, and knowing fashion, she would wear the newest ones first and she would never catch up! She would have to wear the new ones up until lunch, and one of the older models after lunch, and another pair after dinner. really now...

[Badwolf182]

menderfire

exactly! :)

[xxstarchildxx]

@ menderfire9 That's why for a long time I've hated to be called 'fashionable' or 'trendy'- I like to look nice as everyone does, but I realised long ago that the pressure to wear the latest trends not only was a battle that couldn't be won, but one that caused needless stress and feelings of inferiority, bitterness and insecurity. Requiring fashionable clothes just to feel you 'fit in' is a form of mental slavery, I like seeing new styles but I wear what I like and leave what I don't

More Environmentalist, "guilt trip" claptrap. Thanks for you unoriginal "take" on consumer society during our diminished expectations world Recession. It must make you very happy when people have less money to spend.

[toeg1]

mdelcamp,

You miss the point. This video has almost nothing to do with the current economic situation. Corporates have been running this country for nearly 100 years. 70%of the American GDP is related to shopping and consuming. No one else does that. Our mfg jobs are almost all overseas. If you can't see the bigger picture, then you are part of the problem, not the solution. If all you can see is current results, then you have missed all the reasons why. I believe that's called ignorance.

[dnHooligan]

logic=/=guilt trip

facts=/=guilt trip

what is unique about Earth's 6th mass extinction?

(ya know--the one we are currently experiencing)

[mdelcamp1]

I know America has transitioned from a dynamic, manufacturing powerhouse with "can do" culture, to a boob tube watching, culturally backward, tribal, spoiled, partisan, consumerist society run by corporations, elites, and Wall Street financial thieves. Young Americans have no knowledge or perspective, and this video misleads and mischaracterizes in favor of profoundly stupid ideas of "Environmentalism" when being stewards of the Earth and all we survey, including plants and animals, is A+ way.

[dnHooligan]

what?

could you please type a more contradictory statement, please?

(sarcasm, by the way)

[truindep]

well, well...you have once again blown me away with your genius.

nicely done, rage.

Good ole keynesian economics debt and war is prosperity while saving is hoarding and destructive. Mix central banks and fiat money into the equation you get corporatism and oligopolies. Then of course if you do not become a slave to their economy you can not participate in society.
