Bug's Life a Metaphor for 2008 America

[trinitoti]

i just found my old VHS stash today.. watched a Bugs life n was trippin..

i thought of this exact ting..

they knew all these things wouldda happen in da world

FREE UP YA SELF

REBEL AGAINST BABYLON

[jfack1]

that is an absolutely crazy statistic if you understand it. just crazy

[TheOrigionalArroyo]

this is more a metaphor for the USSR. America is nothing like the movie because here we keep what we make and earn.

[Arata414]

REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[HAITHIX1]

ahhhhhh its andy shaw

[dalektaliban]

man i wish life was like this

[pujsi13]

@pseudoprodigy

United we Win!

[Heyu7her3]

looks like "The Communist Manifesto" in action...

[TonyMontague]

@Heyu7her3 So...any time somebody gets fed up with the rich lining their pockets on our backs while at the same time buying off congress to allow them to do even more, they're automatically communist? Get real.

[Heyu7her3]

@TonyMontague No, I'm not calling anyone communist. I'm simply pointing out the similarities between "The Communist Manifesto" and this movie. In the book, Marx says that when people are fed up with the status quo of class antagonism (ant v grasshopper; people v congress; laborers v capitalists), they demand a new order that leads to a more egalitarian and classless society. It's more economic than political (people want control over the material they produce).

[ranelproductions]

I think the better metaphor would be the Southern United States prior to 1865.

[JimmyHopkins2]

am i the only one that the "Princess" and a 9/11 Hijacker share the same last name???

"Atta"

[chitownsmokey]

@JimmyHopkins2 Your a fuckin dumb douche !!.. american peice of shit..

[JamesS92692]

It's amazing, y'know, because being this is my Favorite Disney*Pixar Movies of all-time, that particular scene can really be appiled to anything: The 2008 Delima (As You Stated), MLK and Malcom X, and heck, Slavery in general.

[KyleCom]

I promise this is not spam.

Watch this video from BBC to see the craziest ant phenomenon which is truly both crazy, and kind of disgusting. It is interesting however, watch:

/watch?v=vgkL8PulPdE

Thumbs up if you agree or want people to see?

[pirreli5]

theres a way out here......mother earth is changing......this is going to change our reality....and the dark ones too.

all we need is love in our hearts.....is that hard?

live in the now moment....dont accept deception of any kind.....the real holy trinity....are the earth our mother...the sun our father...and humans=us.

simple living is required trying to find balance....theres a guy called george kavassilas....he has a mission to help us through this....time to wake guys...gl

peacex

[davidacord1]

This is "dangerous rhetoric" watch out! lol

[Cnax0r]

1 word... Illimunati...

[vegetto14]

You guys dont think how it is these people have managed to go up the ranks though, the 1% I mean.

[neouberx]

notice the lead hopper has one good eye smh

[th3azscorpio]

yup definately a metaphor for the big banks, Rockefellers , illuminati and nwo! people should wake up and have a uprising against all the shit goin wrong right now

[badsamz]

ANTS ARE WORKING STIFFS SUPPORTING THE LOW LIFE WELFARE LEACHES (GRASS HOPPERS) WHO ARE IN TURN SUPPORTED BY THE LEAD LOCUST (OBAMA, REID, PELOSI)... TAKE TAKE TAKE, WHILE THE WORKING CLASS GIVE GIVE GIVE... THEY BLAME CORPORATE GIANTS WHO RECEIVE TAX BREAKS FOR OUR DEMISE, YET IT'S THOSE CORPORATE COMPANIES THAT EMPLOY... I NEVER GOT A JOB FROM A POOR MAN... BUT I HAVE HAD TO GIVE A SHIT TON OF MONEY TO ONE, IN THE FORM OF MY TAXES... GRASSHOPPERS SUCK.

[crazydudetz]

another good part is when Hopper says "it's not about food; it's about keeping these ants in line"

[rdaniels95]

too bad this never happened. the "grasshoppers" of america have accomplished their goal, just like they tried to in the movie. They've scared the unions, revolts, rallies so much that they are afraid to retaliate against them. they should be burning down the new york stock exchange.

[LoboFan1000]

its kinda like black slavory of the 1800s

[Damienf77]

A single ant can lift 50x its own bodyweight and outnumber the grasshoppers at least 100 to 1. A grasshopper can jump around. You do the math.

[boffgirl]

adrew ryan : BUT THE PARASITE SAY NOOOOOOO

[buckfush911nwo]

That ant reminds me if David Icke!

[george1punk2]

TO RIGHT (A)

[Friday032610]

Here's some troll bait for whoever wants it: If you think there is something wrong with America, wait until you go to Afghanistan where a man can cut off his wife's nose and ears just because he feels she deserves it and there is nothing you can do. Even if you are not a woman, imagine getting your ass kicked just for being a white boy.

[PsychoBisket]

its funny how we're all slaves to the government/corporations/"NWO" etc. but nobody does anything, why arnt you all rising up keyboard warriors.

[krinkls]

we shall overcome

[IcedEarth426]

Lead grasshopper = Rockefellers/Rothschilds/New World Order

[murray1234567891011]

its you who need us STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE haaha

[The0ptimus]

so you're saying...team up together and overthrow our biased government that treats 99% of the world like shit? .....i dont think that this metaphor is 100% accurate of what the situation is right now, but its close, i get the point. I think its odd that a small part of the world controls most of the world, but not everybody chooses to even partake in government. In fact, if it werent for the 99% not in power, there wouldn't be that 1% that even manages control in the first place.

[firereed4]

Lets start war against the government and make the world collapse.

[firereed4]

The remaining 9 percent is in Iraq.

[crosseyed55]

Oh how I love metaphors =). this was BRILLIANT! way to break a nutshell.

[TutsuoAikido]

LOL at 2:09!

[SpiderFan23]

@TutsuoAikido same, at first i thought it was his spirit or ghost or something, but i then realsied theres a reason his name is "Molt"

[TutsuoAikido]

LOL with Dick Cheney at 0:29-0:35!

[TutsuoAikido]

Very well conveyed video!

[devildeggs]

I had to pause the video before my eyes rolled out of my skull.

[nusua]

This is more of a metaphor for the slave trade, but 2008 works, too I guess...

[Orthokevin]

If these comments are any indication of a plurality mentality, then we are doomed as a nation.

On a personal note, Peacecandidates I suggest your ilk suffer from a sort of political Baron Von Munchausen syndrome. Your worldview creates such destruction, whilst you bask in the sick attention proposing a fix for the symptoms you created in the first place. I am sure your Father is proud!

[benjammin420]

mohawks

[Varegess]

I was middle class in 2008. your wrong.

[gettinmonee]

When you ignore an ant- You C, then tha army that backs Him will make Itself known. Check out My favZ- they saw a huge cloud over russia, lol.

[SixtiesFan90]

I used to love this movie as a kid...........now, looking back on the whole movie, I can honestly say now, that somebody at Pixar was trying to tell us something.

It's too bad not many people realize this hidden message still..........although I can feel that changing now..........

[SixtiesFan90]

The fact is, whether you like it or not, not everybody in the film industry is crooked.........in fact, not even the majority.

Look at the Walt Disney Company, for example.

Tell me, do you think every single one of the people{artists, writers, actors, etc.} working for Disney is a criminal of some sort?

Or is it maybe just a few people at the very top levels of management{And I mean, MAYBE}?

This goes for every film/TV company as well.

[rambos2ndcousin]

The fact is that hollywood is owned by Zionists, they have their wee agenda adult workers spread out throughout the industry like the branches of a big family tree, fact is, that there's a lot of adult tea makers who helps make these type of (hidden in plain site) films who just don't know the score or they just don't care. They own the TV/FILM Companies, that's a fact.

[SixtiesFan90]

@rambos2ndcousin: I used to believe that, too................when I was an Eric Hufschmid fan. That has changed, however.

[rambos2ndcousin]

You used to believe that what? That the Evil side of the Jews own the main parts of Hollywood and all the main important parts of the media industry in America? Then what happened? Please allow me to take a shot in the dark here.......Ummm, ok, here goes...... You became disorientated and disillusioned one fine day and have been tricking your brain into thinking that everythings right and dandy with the world ever since?

[SixtiesFan90]

@rambos2ndcousin: Okay, drop the act. Alright? It's not working.

I now understand that the rabbit hole goes far deeper than just a few Zionists running AIPAC, the ADL, and a few other Jewish puppet orgs who are rather insignificant, compared to who's REALLY in change{Hint: Other than perhaps the remnants of Rothschild.........it's not the Jews}

[BusBoyIsBack]

This send chills down the spine as a child, but it's even sends more when you understand it's a metaphor for real life.

[Account376]

revolution!

[josevanreyes]

Democracy is bullshit and it doesn't exist. Every single person needs to boycott paying taxes

[justicetrooper]

Democracy is a good system, if only we lived under it.

[TruthbHeard]

The corporations, the billionaires(bill gates), and the top 400 families have become modern day Kings and we are the peasants working hard simply to pay bills and barely get by

Other countries have it much worse in this current economic system implemented by USA and Britian which has driven the world into mad poverty where only a few families hoard all the wealth while the rest work for pennies like in asia and africa

THis is freedom

[CrumbedMuffinChans]

People better wake up before you are not allowed to unless you are "ordered" to become what the government wants you to become...

[ToaHannah007]

We don't serve the government!

The government is suppose to serve us! And when they don't it's tryanny!

Dang Congress! Those freaking jerks!

[TomcatBlackAce]

Hmmm...the beginning of Hopper's speech makes him sould like he's a Communist... o_O

"Ideas are very dangerous things. You are mindless, soil-shoving losers!"

[ToaHannah007]

Or a dictator.

[FordElmo]

The dumming down of AmeriKa has worked well.

Be afraid, Be very very afraid.

[Turkisstory]

No, don't be afraid... don't be very very afraid! Watch the ending of this clip, and do that! What we humans where born to be... Free and independent!

"They will give you a box, they will tell you to live inside that box, and when you get smart and think you are thinking outside of that box, you are infact still inside the same box." - Me.

[GODLOVESUSSOMUCH]

Society has been given a box, been told over and over that this box is where comfort lies and the truth, yet our freewill, intellect and ability to love allows us to have one foot outside the box at all times, even when we have fully stepped out of this box, meaning we love everyone for who they are, not just what they stand for, we can still clearly see this box and those within it. We can escape this box, yet as a human race its our job to help carry others out of this box as well. Peace bro!

[NeoOneOrg]

Hey, you said it, peace Neo, we are winning you know, simply by not fighting the war...knowledge is the king, but spirit is the mind

[GODLOVESUSSOMUCH]

Yes sir, no matter how strong they are, it could be the whole world of these evil people against a few lonely people who have both mindful knowledge, but also a spirit ready to fight, not with fists or weapons, but with love, intellect and a strong faith in the good Lord, Peace my brother, and may we never give into their threats or demands, for their only weapon is fear, and with great knowledge, fear can easily be over come, especially with God's loving assistance at our side. Later my friend!

[oldlanguage]

is all around the world , time to wake up !

[Luigifan18]

Ants actually eat grasshoppers, BTW. :p

[oldlanguage]

you dont get it

[Marlonfpa]

@Luigifan18 great idea lets go eat our leaders lol 

[mp4ever31]

@Luigifan18 no way!!

[Alexc3217]

@Luigifan18 Cept these are actually locusts...

[SxyLilFluffyBuni]

So...wait....if I quit my job on Nov 5th, I can STILL get my food paid and home paid and car paid and by going to the post office once a month??? WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!­!! awesome....

LET'S ALL QUIT AND HAVE A BIG POOL PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!

*eyeroll*

[SxyLilFluffyBuni]

This would be a great metaphore...IF all ants worked that hard. Something that is NOT a reality in the year 2008. But nice try.

[GagnezTV]

Yep, that's how it's done ants..

-G

"All I Ever Wanted Was TO DO Right (Riiight)"

[SZEPP3L1N]

wake up you ants!

[Goldenage2012]

Flic the NWO! Will we get a happy ending?

[GermanConquistador08]

I sort of argee with this. I belive that the Higher nobles, not the wealthy buisnessmen, but those of noble Imperial birth should be higher on the social scale. However, those higher on the social ladder should help the lower levels, and the lower commoners should serve the Higher ups, but only if the Higher ups HELP the lower levels as much as they can.

[sloeber]

"believe that the Higher nobles, not the wealthy buisnessmen, but those of noble Imperial birth should be higher on the social scale."

Then you're a fucking moron. Sorry can't put it any more politely. WTF

[GermanConquistador08]

How am I a moran. Buisnessmen rule the world currently, when the noble people ruled with benololency all was well. There was no genocide, except for the American one of the Native Americans, there was less innocent blood shed. Now thousands of people are dieing because buisnessmen want money. Much like the grasshoppers want grain and to keep the ants(commoners) in line. I am a supporter of the monarchy system, that's all.

[sloeber]

Well not being able to spell moron is a start. All was well huh? All was well? History is a nightmare. The business men now are guided by the same "noble" (geez what a word), do some researchers, oh you're in favor of monarchy too. Holy shit. I didn't know you people really existed! Sorry, wasting time here! :p Moving on, lol.

[sloeber]

thank you universe for your infinite irony in spelling, though you have to admit, how do you stay calm when someone says something like that... sorry folks :p

[GermanConquistador08]

People are intitled to their own belives. Everyone has a place, but it is the task of those higher on the social ladder to help and protect those on the lower levels. All peoples are together in this world. If one doesn't contruibute, the entire system falls apart. It's not a bad system, it is only too seseptable to corruption. Also if your agruement is only that I don't know history, and spelling, then your arguement is completly flaud.

[sloeber]

They only got to that higher ladder because they forced it early, and then their offspring took it from there. How do the elites contribute by fucking everyone over? It is built for corruption. You obviously don't know history or the present, do some research into the "NWO". If you don't realize how you are being screwed over now, or before, how will you realize it in the future?

[anyusmoon1]

Although this movie depicts precisely what would occur in socialist society I appreciate the spirit of revolution in each laborer. As a laborer, I can tell you honestly I'd rather deal with a true capitalist philosophy than this falsely glamorized rendition of socialism.

TRUE Constitutional Republics encourage laborers to excel in ideas, improvements and opportunity to succeed in a true free market economy without being crushed like bugs under monopoly!

But only if gov stays outta the way.

[Ainurah]

Ants can be powerful.

[berlinrelic]

You are the ants and thats why you are slaves its funny that some of you are just finding that out.

[PhillipOrion]

you are an ant just like the rest of us.

[vegetto14]

Im a dragon : D

[NubbyTHEbunnY]

@berlinrelic I like how you tell us we are the ants like you aren't one of us.

[renoo27]

@berlinrelic "YOU are the ants and thats why YOU are slaves". Who the fuck are you then?

[successneverends]

Awesome.

[michaeleyeofthetiger]

interesting video!

Michaeleyeofthetiger

[italianmafia23]

Change won't be coming from either of the major candidates in this election. That much is abundantly clear to anyone that has taken the time to look into the issues.

We need a candidate that will stand up for the people. We need to transfer the power to the people in order to have a government run for the people, BY the people -- the way our founding fathers had intended it to be.

Vote for Ralph Nader for president.

Compare isses at votenader(DOT)org

[paddymourinho]

that is one of the stupidest messages i have ever read. i realy hope that u were being sarcastic and dont realy believe what u said.

[fanofwalt]

Join the ants -- Google "Campaign for Liberty"

[russellsugden]

If only the workers would stop stuffing their pie-holes for 5 min and think! There is a reason why 24 drinking was brought in

[Hiddenlegend94]

flik is actally scared of hopper , he say all this is only because all of the other ant are here , when hopper take him away he is a coward because he was alone

[pittsspiritspits]

Being united (wheter you're strong or not) makes the true difference.

[wildboybattle]

WHAT THE HELL?

[wildboybattle]

so am i an ant or what should i build a nest tell me what to do oh wise on............i;m going to bed

[JaxieBoy]

You see the analogy here?

Zionists are the grasshoppers.

The so-called 'goyim' are the ants.

Guess who won in the end of the movie?

That's right, the ants did.

[TwinSeeds3453]

Your an ant!

[fode22]

yeah, now if only ron paul had 1/1000 as many delegates as there were ants in that video...

[dhprince]

There are many more patriots than it may seem.

[marrokiu]

let's kick some grasshopper ass! vote ron paul!

[tvwatcher1220]

flik has a good point

[natejon83]

plus abraham lincoln was brave enough to  consider impeaching a sitting president during a time of war and the people eventually rallied behind him..one person at a time we will see dennic kucinich as president of the usa

[dhprince]

No other nation had to start a civil war in order to end slavery. 600,000 men died when it could have been done differently. Abraham Lincoln is not the saint the history books claim he is. Abraham Lincoln was the first neo-con.

[thebigva]

are you serious? the war wasn't even started to end slavery, it was to save the union from the southern succession. The confederate states of america started the war by attacking fort sumter. I'm not saying he's a saint, but he is easily the best president along with Washington in the history of the United States. He saved the country that we live in and deserves everyone's respect, not his name tarnished on youtube of all places. And on top of that, the seccessionist movement started before him

[dhprince]

You have fatally assumed that the history books accurately and completely present Lincoln and the Civil War. Lincoln wanted to and did start a war, used slavery as an excuse, enacted an Income Tax, and 600,000 died on his watch. No other country needed to deceive their people in order to end slavery. Only when all this is understood will you realize Lincoln did not save our country nor is he equatable to Washington. He is closer to Bush 41 and 43 than Washington.

[sniper6081]

Your right.

[natejon83]

The political powers told abraham lincoln that he would never be a politician let alone president

[mikeburetta]

go dennis kucinich..organising ants to take back there country from the corporate greed!

[edward944]

At 62 years old this might be the most inportant thing i do in my life is VOTEING FOR RON PAUL !

[avzett]

It will only take a couple hundred thousand pissed off American "ants" to overturn the evil, neo-con, bankster, warmonger, bloodsucking "grasshoppers".

We will win.
