HISTORY and Aniboom present The People Speak : GRAND WINNER

[xTheDeathSaintx]

reality is capture the flag. whatever base you spawn on you gotta keep safe and your team is always 1337

[gav1230]

Mackmation should have won the contest

[Doofwienix]

IAM better than you, because i was born in a special nation! You werent, so die please.

[ffinfinity1]

I think patriotism is half good and half bad. i mean its dumb to kill others just because your "country says so". I mean were all on the same planet right but it doesn't stop their. What if were fighting another planet, were all in the same galaxy right? Or fighting another galaxy, Where all in the same Universe right?

[ffinfinity1]

sounds sorta odd right, but what im tryin to say is that its dumb to say is that its idiotic to fight to the death for a patch of land which is only given meaning by people

[emofelix23]

I am strictly anti patriotism, anti federalism, anti capitalism, anti conservatism, and anti authoritarianism these are the biggest threats to humanity around the world my political theory i hold dear is anarchism and socialism because the world is best without government but perfect as all humans in control no social class insistently people see anarchist-socialism as a contradiction but in fact it couldn't be more the same if you doubt my word read Karl marks communist manifesto

[0000infinity0000]

@emofelix23

Does your ideal world order include grammar and punctuation lessons for all?

[emofelix23]

@0000infinity0000 HA HA I believe education leads to a better future. Unfortunately grammar is not my strong point. I'm better in Science, Social Studies, History, and Reading. So excuse my grammar.

[0000infinity0000]

@emofelix23 Absolutely! Too bad my generation doesn't feel the same. Bunch of dumb asses...And I mean that in the nicest way possible. lol

[F1REbomb]

People who hate Patriotism hate countries in general and want a global federal law making body to have absolute power over all people on the earth. This way, people are at the wim of a autonomis government with supreme power and have no say in how they live their own lives.

[toiletsrus]

Not really.. I'm an anarchist. I hate patriotism and individual governments for the same reasons I would hate a global government.

[F1REbomb]

So you hate ALL governments? Why should we take your cricism of America seriously if you just hate ALL governments no matter what?

And Anarchism? Really? What century do you live in?

[toiletsrus]

Of course I hate all governments. I'm an anarchist like I said. It would be hypocritical of me to only hate certain governments, wouldn't it? They all do the same things and they're all completely unnecessary.

You do realize this video is about a quote by an anarchist philosopher right?

[bornbillsmith]

I'm Jewish.

If I lived in your county during the second world war I would have died in a concentration camp just like Ann Frank,

It was the Dutch who were responsible for the apartheid in South Africa so excuse me but I wouldn't be so proud as you are to be Dutch.

It was The United States that imposed our values on the Germans that made it possible for you to live in a Democracy so don't tell me who is a arrogant bastard.

[bornbillsmith]

As individuals we should have the same rights but that's not always true.

The Hindu's hate the Muslims the Muslims hate the Catholics (I think you know what I'm alluding to) and everyone hates the Jew.

Do you really see no danger if Iran gets the bomb.

What do you think of the genocide in Africa

that is happening in our generation due to mass starvation.

What do you think of how women are treated like property in India and China.

Please comment if you can and don't lecture me about equality..

[bornbillsmith]

Even though I feel as an American I can claim to live in a place that is superior I never said we are perfect.

We can learn from other people and we

do.

I admire the Dutch for their environmental

approach to urban planning.and for their history of great painters.

I like the Italians for their respect for the family unit.

I like the French for their sophistication (even though I hate them for everything else.)

I like the English for their music and literature.

Who do you admire.

[bornbillsmith]

I believe The United States is superior to most of the world and the world knows that.

That's why they all want to live like us.

But that doesn't mean we can't learn from them and everything we do is good.

This gives a simplistic version on what it means to be an American and ignores that there is evil in the world that we have to fight..

[hiruc]

the world wants to live like you??? ok, that's arrogant. i personally don't like being paranoid.

evil in the world you have to fight???

you've been deeply brainwashed, you know that, right? i don't see other evil than your thoughts.

[Zappyguy111]

Patriotism is good, so long as it stays in sport.

[hiruc]

ok... i'll make a few points for those who remain ignorant:

first of all, these are not the words of an animator. this is an animation made to perpetuate the words of emma goldman, an anarchist woman born in lithuania.

second, not all the "america-haters" are british. in deed, i believe we are spread all over the world.

and third, it's ok loving your country. this is not against loving your country, you idiots! it's against war and imperialism.

[8Dmeow]

now this is an eye opener...

[raultastic]

This seems like a good video for Jihadists.

[jsh78mang]

If the world was a s fucked up as some of you claim how did oprah make all that money, what about you tube or face book. A bunch of nobodies until they decided to change their situation. You can to but you have to try. Nothing for free is worth it. It just makes you dependent on the giver hence the reason drug dealers always hook you up for free the first time.

[bstmanversusskeletor]

It's good and I get the message, but doesn't the music seem out of place?

[MangaFreak2000]

And to all these ignorant America-hating commenter's, I bet you anything most of you kids are completely bias and easily manipulative that you believe anything you see on T.V. Some of you most likely don't even bother doing any real research. Sure there are legitimate reasons not to like a country, but to blindly believe that America (U.S) is evil, bad, sucks, blows, whatever, and have nothing, no solid reasons to back up your hatred, is ignorant.

(Pulls a youtuber)

All you Brits are the same..

[bjarczyk]

Everyone would do themselves a great favor by reading some of the greatest anarchist ever Emma Goldman.

[skasso12]

very good video for americans!

[ezc623]

oh yeah and your superior huh?

[jsh78mang]

That's funny It is usually the foreigners telling us how insuperior we are how fat and stupid we are.....maybe it was for you?

[CelGamer]

Simple concept, simple video. +4

[purplewolfking]

wow....short yet a very powerful message. much props to the creator(s).

[PJS102187]

I am the ruler of all you stupid little humans

[Metroidfreek]

What if I'm not human??? o.O

[lpfmkakashirule]

Cool so i am not alone. I'm not a human too. I am a demon from the pit's of hell. I have come to drag everyone i meet back to whier once i came.

[Metroidfreek]

OMG!

[ezc623]

haha i once came in hell to...meaning you're moms vagina....son

[reilastnote]

"Everyone sees the world different,therefore its sometimes easy to judge wrong"Monel Lucian

[MREURONCAP]

What happens here? Your, all the commenters, cant you get the irony??????

[blakbutrfli]

someone pass them the dictionary please ...

[MREURONCAP]

Cant you get the irony?

[hiruc]

i was being sarcastic.

[capttheo1]

Patriotism does NOT mean that you're better than others. It means that you're proud of your country and what it stands for, it's beauty, etc. And that you would fight to keep it from becoming something undesirable.

[hiruc]

yeah, sure...

and racism does not mean that you're better than others. means the pride of your ethnicity and what it stands for, beauty, intelligence, etc. oh! and that you would fight to ensure your genetic heritage, to keep it from becoming something undesirable.

[Chorosh]

Undesirable = another country :) (Patriot would never like his country to start looking like another country ... patriot would savour his predecessors heritage and would not wish to become eg. American)

[HotZetiGer]

This is just a part of PATRIOTISM! Guarding your land, keeping distance, own kind is quit important for all animals. Humans do have some animal habits!

[gigityguy]

yes we do because we are animals, its in our nature. in fact one of the only cultural similarities that civilizations have shared since the beginning of recorded history is war. its unfortunate but true.

[Chorosh]

Cannot we fight our problems out in a more effective way then by killing ourselves? Like when deer fights for mating, we should not kill the oponent to get an upper hand.

[DJK1Carl]

I like the issue that this video post. Awesome work.

[LOLMAOMG100]

Who cares who's country is better, everyone in the world is going to be competitive, deal with it, shoooosh and watch teh funnnniiiiii videozzz

[jeang287]

Go Emma Goldman!

[sapedio]

why should a man that was born in the USA be better than a man born in any other country

[hoomgla5]

I know, I hate being American . . .  TT^TT

[somoza]

As spanish i think toy dont have to, but you have to he kind with other country's people when you love your contry.

[DJK1Carl]

Don't need to hate about yourself being an american. Just stick to a good principle, just be yourself. Just because your born in the country, doesn't mean your committed to it. Like me, if my country was at war, my priority would be my family first and myself, country 2nd.

[UlrichBechir]

No reason to hate what you are hoomgla5... the important thing for all of us is to realise that everyone is important and has value no matter where they live.

[melindaforyou]

hope this is all just but a joke....i dont want you guys to shave your heads and wave a natzi flag...ok?

[alexfrombrooklyn]

UNITY is the answer, Peace to all...

[Filiforme]

@ameddin73

Sometimes I wonder if the equation works both ways. If all those countries hate the USA but no other countries?

I'm afraid what goes around comes around :(

[ameddin73]

Nah, we rule the free world. That's all that matters.

[Filiforme]

Yeah... you wish...

[qtster]

Hmmm... I don't agree with this message at all. I love my county, I am proud of it, and I am proud of our accomplishments. I am patriotic.

I feel the same way about my family. I love who we are, what we bring to the world, and I am proud to be able to call myself by our family name.

I am very proud of who I am and where I come from. I guess that some people don't feel the same way that I do. However, I think that patriotism should always be a positive thing.

[filiesillo]

man its awesome to be proud like that, but why to label it, I mean aint you as proud of lets say you live in japan wouldn't you be as proud of robotics as proud of germany's filosofers, I just say borders and names are unnesesary

[LoganThomsen]

good movie, but its all the same message, people are mean, they should stop.. then people push it off onto everyone else... lol, and yes i am pushing it off onto another person....racism isnt cool, just a heads up

[ameddin73]

I love my country (USA) but hate no others.

...except for britain, canada, mexico, n korea, russia, all of africa, the french, but those don't count!

[filiesillo]

it was a joke right, cus it was a funny joke if it wasn't then you are the joke lol

[0pacella0]

Without britain, your country would be in flames right now. also without the US my country would be german speaking right now. We fight hand in hand a war in the middle east and yet there is still a civilian feud right here. i dont see the point.

[ameddin73]

You must be British, otherwise you'd have understood it was a joke. It's okay, we all have our faults.

[0pacella0]

No im not saying anything against you, i understand ironic humour dont worry was just sayin :) i dont see why there is a feud at home when our soldiers work together hand in hand away :)

[superpyromaniac]

i liked it

[DrEarlInsanity]

i just wasted one minute of my life...thanks aniboom for choosing a blatant fail as a grand winner.....

[MangaFreak2000]

The creator of this animation is ignorant...

[42Unknowns]

how?

[MangaFreak2000]

I thought I replied to this, *ahem* to just blindly assume that patriots find their country superior and others inferior is just pure ignorance. The creator of this animation is probably just bias and looks at patriotism as a negative thing. Whats wrong with loving your country? Some people just prefer and like their country over another's, its their opinion and theres nothing wrong with that.

[Coecoo]

Aniboom STILL haven't fucking noticed that people are watching in widescreen now?

[xsabirx]

good

[FutureStudy]

It is the irreversible tragedy of our world. You can't change it. So get used to it and stop crying. The world is unfair, unequal, and cold, and best of all, there is nothing you can do about it.

[nhmllr725]

There was never an idea that harmed the world more than the idea that the way things are are the best they can ever be.

[FutureStudy]

there was never any idea more harmful than believing that only your idea is right.

[nhmllr725]

I don't agree with that. Everybody believes that they are right. Sure, Hitler believed that what he was doing was right, but then FDR also believed that fighting Hitler was right. In the end it basically just cancels out.

[robikifin]

0:23 this applies for americans

[TrippWaLk]

I think it applies for everyone. it's your opinion that it's directed at americans. Although, you're just backing up what this video has to say. patriotic git.

[Leadman1989]

this applies to YOU

[GrayEyesWorld]

I think the person means their own countries Manifest Destiny, but can also be linked to patriotism

[LOKIUNCIA]

Patriatism Is The Loyality Twords one's Country... And Not Who Runs It. Get It Right.

[SuperHoboPirateNinja]

Why do people capitalize every single word? It's very annoying.

[xSilverPhinx]

"Pariatrism" would be something more like loyalty to one's father or patriarch....like someone who runs it.

[BigAndTall666]

Just give up beforehand, it´s easier!  :-D

[silverblue73]

if "the people" are speaking, they're very sarcastic.

[annadesu]

Grand winner? Bad choice. Not only was the animation crap in this one, but the way it was formatted suggests that all people with patriotism want to hurt others, and think they're better. Yes, I like my home country. That doesn't mean I hate yours.

[pringelsfan007]

Socialism is the new opiate of the masses.

[hellzBrother]

Very good :)

[DabIMON]

A worthy winner, patriotism sucks :D

[Arshim99]

This video is not about patriotism, its about fascism, a completely different and radical way, they are changing the meaning for their convenience

[datRock]

Good choice, aniboom!

[AnarchyInYourHead]

Wow! I have to commend whoever was involved with the decision-making process. That was a powerful statement crammed into such a short period of time. Animated well also.

[Snuilp]

True! There is no difference between patriotism and fascism.

[filiesillo]

the whole idea of nation is stupid, I mean what is the importance on where you were borned, I mean just cuz I am mexican I most feel proud of mexican culture, and ways, well I dont at least I dont feel more proud of those achivments than what I am of australians or chinese for say some, its just idiotic I live in a planet not a bordered piece of land fuck nations and fuck divisions

[xSilverPhinx]

Territorial fronteirs are extremely important, IMO. It's human nature unfortunatly to group ourselves into similar culture, language and descent and dispute space with those who aren't in our groups. We're extremely animal.

It would be a worst place if we didn't have such divisions. Look at what's happening in Africa.

[xSilverPhinx]

But we always find a way to disrespect frontiers and limits, so the world's a fucked up place anyhow you see it.

[Snuilp]

I couldn't agree more. Who desides where their cradle stands? We are all Earthlings!

[Theocrats]

...and we are far better than Martians... or those Venusians!

[Snuilp]

Yes! We are even way more better then Jupiterians, Saturnussians, Uranussians and even Plutonians!

If we are better then other aliens I don't know, but I don't want to place a bet on a competition on that one. ;D

[Snuilp]

OMG! Even a thumb down on this comment? What is this world coming too... LOL! :P

[darahz]

Thumb up! :D

[Snuilp]

LOL! Thanks a lot! :D Thumb in return! :D

[xSilverPhinx]

I think the video shoudl've elaborated more on how patriotism IS a threat to liberty. That would be more interesting.

[tarrizzzzzzzzz]

i hope this was sarcasm.... -.-

[xSilverPhinx]

You don't think the US empire doesn't fight, kill and die in the attempt to pose its superiority on others and get what they want in the process? Or do you honestly believe that the war on Iraq is it's nobler side fighting for justice and democracy?

[EspadaGrimmjow6]

this history channel shit is GAY!

[Ahya728]

animation or fail-mation. it's still an aniboom animation. so what's up with all of that shit peeps?

[KingKael00]

FAIL

[DRealfriknKeenan]

skrew that!

patriotism isn't racism. patriotism is working to make your nation a better place. it is ok to love your country.

[undersquirl]

go eat a hamburger you retarded redneck. every bad comment about this vid comes from americans... you know what? you can just screw yourself's with a loaf of bread

[DRealfriknKeenan]

hey! if you hate my country so much, why don't you leave? (stupid commy)

[xSilverPhinx]

No criticizing allowed?

[MangaFreak2000]

LOL BULLSHIT.

[Leadman1989]

and this video applies directly to you

[xSilverPhinx]

No, it's not ok when the place you live in sucks.

[xSilverPhinx]

Failing to recognise your country's epic failings is not the first step to making it a better place. You just end up looking like the stereotypical ignorant american.

[DRealfriknKeenan]

so does that mean we should hate every imperfect thing? every country has its flaws, but every country has its good points, too. why is it "ignorant" to be proud of your successes? If I spend all my time dwelling on my flaws and past mistakes, I'll never become a better person. it's the same w/ a country.

if love and optimism are forms of ignorance then I pity the learned.

[xSilverPhinx]

I'm sorry if I came out too harsh, I had a few truly ignorant hillbillies in mind when I wrote that. It came out overly generalised.

My point was just that communities shouldn't be blind and reject their failings to make their community a better place. And yes, it is important to be proud of successes and good points, why not? I'm not as optimist, because honestly I believe that most people are too naive and led about to really make a difference. I'm an idealist, but very pessimistic one.

[DRealfriknKeenan]

true. we should not forget our mistakes. that's how history repeats itself, eh? but we shouldn't hate ourselves for them, either. I don't think patriotism is necessarily thinking less of other countries as much as being proud of your own country.

Americans have made many mistakes, but so have britains, and australians, and germans, and so on. however, all these countries have done really good things and deserve respect. their citizens have the right to be patriotic.

[chickenruler]

no, hating another country because you're blinded by patriotism is ignorance

[DRealfriknKeenan]

so you assume I am racist because I am American and a patriot. are there really people this ignorant and biased, or are you joshing me?

[isaacmiller1993]

Hippie!

[DRealfriknKeenan]

patriotism isn't hating other countries or thinking yours is superior, it's liking your country. the retard who made this vid is kinda messed up in his definitions

[Mystrymeat]

You mean the person who made the speech. The animator didn't make any definitions, he just animated them

[toiletsrus]

if you like one country more than another, that means you like the other country less... and for most people thats only because they were born or live in a certain country that they like it when they probably haven't even been to many countries

[DRealfriknKeenan]

what is wrong with having preferences? I like my mom's spaghetti more than my friends. is that bad? I like colorado weather than Great Britain's. Is it not my right to have preferences?

[toiletsrus]

but you are preferring things that don't exist. national borders are imaginary lines that don't exist. you can like a certain part of the world more, but countries are man-made ideas that only exist for the benefit of those at the top in each locale

[DRealfriknKeenan]

true, our countries are not all individually colored and marked groups on a map. they aren't even necessarily the race or people that live in them. it is the ideas and foundations and backgrounds of a country that makes it what it is. I prefer america, the country to whom I pay taxes and who provides me with protection to, say, communist china.

[toiletsrus]

ideas are not confined to national boundaries either though. American ideas and foundations are based heavily on British, French, Roman, and Greek ideas and foundations for example.

[DRealfriknKeenan]

true, but the key word is almost. I don't think of canadians, Britons, or germans as any worse than me, but that doesn't mean I like their country as much as I like mine.

patriotism is healthy. patriots SHOULD be less likely to cheat on their taxes or break the laws their government set up, right?

[toiletsrus]

Well everyone likes where they come from because of the connection they have with it so I completely understand that, as I'm the same way. But I come from Florida, so just because I like Florida doesn't mean I like the entire United States. Heck, I've never even been to most of it.

And I disagree with the second point. I know plenty of people who would consider themselves patriotic and proud Americans, but smoke pot which is obviously illegal. People commit crimes for various reasons.

[DRealfriknKeenan]

that's why I said "should"

anyway this video sucks

[wiseye61]

i've been to probably 60% of countries on this planet and i still like my country better... im i ignorant? no i am not... i just prefer my country over another one, its my opinion and therefore you shouldnt assume that i hate any other country on this floating piece of rock.

[TheCelticNinja]

Funny, it was aimed towards people who DO hate other countries.

Why did you automatically assume it was targeted towards you?

[wiseye61]

i assumed those people also dont hate any country...

[TheCelticNinja]

You assumed people who hate other countries don't hate other countries.

Ok.

[toiletsrus]

its all a part of the same floating piece of rock though, that's the point.

Take the U.S. for example. It's a huge country. Miami is nice, Cleveland? Not so much. How can you compare the entire U.S. to say, Trinidad and Tobago? It makes no sense. Borders are imaginary lines invented by man, you can prefer one region to another, but comparing countries like that is pure nationalism.

[Hunterkirk]

What a stupid progress liberal video.

[KingKael00]

Jackass, they were each given a soundtrack that they had to animate to, they probally dont even believe this

[Hunterkirk]

How exactly does this change anything? The list of soundtrack they were to use were all far leftist anti American rants. All except one and the History Channel and Aniboom both picked these soundtrack and promoted the contest. I didn't subscribe to Aniboom to see Anti American rants from political partisans.

[KingKael00]

Im 13, British and Who cares honestly, Just go with the flow of life. If like gives you lemons.. :3

[Hunterkirk]

I tried, I tried to ignore the first three of their anti American rants. I love my country so that took some doing on my part. This rant basically say people like me want to go out and kill and beat up and take over everyone else in the world. How much MORE offensive can they get.

How would you respond to a video like this one say all British people a hateful murders. "But it is just animation" does not forgive the message sent.

[KingKael00]

I would ignore it because i know its not true.. Apart from certain places i know where most people are hateful murderers. Those are the places that people get the conception, not where you are ~(probally, i dont know) so just ignore it. Peoples opinions are hard to change.

[Jsrz90]

Congratulations!, I loved the animation and the whole concept

[PolyphonicJack]

I thought there were better animations than this. It's good, but there are better ones.

[miiror13]

yay for patriasm its the most stupid comment why do we have to figh eachother?

[BloodyBBQ]

great video...

but somehow I define Patriotism in an other way...

[katiemroy]

this is great. congrats david chen.

[sk8rgrl513]

wow, this is a great video, and it was funny ^^

[dasveit]

worked over^^
