Age of Stupid: Clips: War For Resources Animation

[techcafe]

"American leaders are perhaps not so much immoral as they are amoral. It's not that they take pleasure in causing so much death and suffering. It's that they just don't care… the same that could be said about a sociopath."

cont...

[techcafe]

As long as the death and suffering advance the agenda of the Empire; as long as the right people and the right corporations gain wealth and power and privilege and prestige; as long as the death and suffering aren't happening to them or people close to them - then they just don't care about it happening to other people, including the American soldiers whom they throw into wars and who come home (the ones who make it back alive) with Agent Orange or Gulf War Syndrome eating away at their bodies.

[techcafe]

American leaders would not be in the positions they hold if they were 'bothered' by such things.

War...war never changes.

[graniaslament1]

"Loads of oil" XD

Brilliant!

[nipols]

war of resources is coming its every man for himself... Sad but true. Overpopulation + unskilled people = dream come true for the NWO. Science and Technology should focus on Agriculture... and it better act fast... I am pessimistic that when we are 10 billion already population will hit its plateau.. with bad education as a result of bad parenting... +backward religious custom = unstoppable growth of population. This should be address immediately no kids for irresponsible people.

[sarchoud]

@nipols If you're so concerned about this then you

2 proven & effective methods need to be known and done & spread around to the ppl as fast & far as u can.

- practice safe sex and

- educate the poor.

[nipols]

@sarchoud my pre law is political science with few majors in sociology... I am not rubbing it on you my friend but establishing an efficient institution that is free from backward practices is one of the best solution I can think of. Backward practices can easily negate all of what you just stated. No offense.

[Jamoogle42]

I think what Governments don't realize, or they won't let the population realize, is that we will all have grand-children. And they'll need a better Earth than we have now. Since there are ALREADY environmental disasters happening!

[ptroinks]

Very nice touch, showing a cartoon man bleeding oil!

sounds like fun

CROATIAN sociologist describes USA wars as conquest of land for sources and resources, he spent 30 years studying relationships between countries and new reality after the fall of CCCP.

t is not only a partial battle won against the main enemy but it also contributes to the real weakening of that enemy,and is one more step toward the final victory. -- Che Guevara, 1965

[iownage4youi]

Ever since monopoly capital took over the world,it has kept the greater part of humanity in poverty,dividing all the profits among the group of the most powerful countries.The standard of living in those countries is based on the extreme poverty of our countries.To raise the living standards of the underdeveloped nations, therefore, we must fight against imperialism.And each time a country is torn away from the imperialist tree,

[Dechord]

I wanted to watch the WAR FOR EMPIRE or WAR FOR DEMOCRACY,WAR FOR KICKS,WAR FOR JESUS,WAR FOR ALLAH or the first one which was WAR FOR IDEOLOGY

[Bellantoni]

@Dechord I think all those wars were just covers for War for Resources

[jimbills]

This is just total brilliance. It's the awful, but true, summation of world history in less than 2 minutes.

[SpiritLadyArtist]

Look up the Venus Project and Zeitgeist Moving Forward movie.

[MrMajdalkhayr]

War Before Civilization: the Myth of the Peaceful Savage (Oxford University Press, 1996) is a book by Lawrence H. Keeley, an archeology professor at the University of Illinois who specialises in prehistoric Europe. The book deals with warfare conducted throughout human history by societies with little technology. In the book, Keeley aims to stop the apparent trend in seeing civilisation as bad.

garbage warrior is excellant film also(:

This pretty much sums up our situation in the world today.

One of the best short revue of the last 600years.

The real big history.

[myxzyp]

theres a lot more types of wars then resource wars

just looka t the first 5 seconds of the video

[thebeastofvic]

humanity's wars for resources are just going to get worse and worse untill there is nothing left to fight over, then there will be world peace just before it all ends

[newsworthyable]

IN YOUR FACE OBVIOUS!!!

[fanmbv31]

Iraq ... load of oil LOL

[zeppelinesque]

Which side do you want to be on: the side that takes or the side that robs? When the time comes and there is diminishing food and water, most of you watching this won't care where we get it...you'll just want it.

[IroncladSteam]

y do u think the US invaded iraq..

lesson number 1...use other peoples resources before you use yours

terrorism...ha....good excuse

[neujack]

The more clips I see of this movie, the more convinced I can only watch this movie in clips. It's far too heavy-handed and strident.

Jct: Too bad it doesn't mention they fight to pay off their exponential debt. Everyone in the mort-gage death-gamble borrowed 10 and everyone owed 11 and you paid the 11th in cash or in slaves, either your kids or your neighbors' after invading. The usury death-gamble has been the impetus behind war through all of history.

[wintermute3d]

annoying voice

[deskset24]

One absolutely necessary (but not sufficient) solution to ALL the world's problems will be mandatory castration of human males in USA, India, China, Mexico or ANY part of the world where human per capita consumption is greater than their fair share in order to reduce overpopulation.

Since ALL problems are ultimately math problems, one cannot solve any ONE problem without solving ALL problems simultaneously, any more than one cannot solve for one variable in a system of coupled equations...

[deskset24]

@deskset24 ... without solving for ALL the variables.

Also, nobody who eats meat can claim they take responsibility for their actions, because they force innocent non-humans to pay for their selfish hunger even when vegan food is available. So, breeding animals for food must be outlawed.

Let 'em eat roadkill, if they want.

[deskset24]

More useless meaningless generalities condemning war. Yes, war has terribly negative consequences. But, meaningless general diatribes about war never say which side of a particular war does more good than harm, which side started the war with their unjust consumption or laws. It's always those with the general diatribes against war who then bend over backwards praising soldiers for their sacrifice. But, when they do that, they only mean paid government soldiers, never protestors or civilians..

[deskset24]

@deskset24 .. who fight back against injustice or using revolution.

War is just a natural extension (or, rather, evolutionary product?) of animals murdering & eating other animals.

If we could stop animals from murdering & eating other animals with nanotechnology, we should use it.

[LaVenganzadeCarlos]

The age of stupid propaganda films

[mysteriisfrog]

They spelled Colombia wrong....

[Yort781]

Does it cause us to create more air polution by burning less fossil fuels? Does making people realize there are only so many resources for so many people make us want to take more? Also by the way the one who said African's started slavery and the Europeans just jumped in thats not acurate considering that the African form of slavery was more along the lines of indentured servant than property and also the fact that slavery had been in Europe long before ie. Vikings and Romans.

[Yort781]

Why are people always spamming about how global warming isn't real. It always seems like they just say it's not just to try to make themselves seem more enlightened or smarter than the masses. Furthermore even if it turns out to be a hoax what exactly does it do to hurt us? Does pushing people to conserve oil for the things we can't make without it instead of burning it harm us?

[kalifant]

Anyone remembers what 'agitprop' is? The authors of this video should give credit where credit's due. Too bad if it has to go to regimes that created the soviet socialist republics or the Third Reich ...

[666kerk666]

Oooo..shiny things?

[lenoonoo]

my favourite part of this movie ^^

[daterwat666]

What an idiotic film,actually many commodities were traded not stolen,and slavery was an african custom europeans just joined in.But of course historic accuracy was never the point of this tawdry film.

[ThunderWolfMaster]

lol just because you dont believe in the global warming crises doesnt mean you gotta hate on the movie =P no offence but the people who spam youtube comments are the ones that are a tad crazy about most of the world thinking the other way "cough moon londing conspiracy theorists, who spam all moonlanding videos"

[daterwat666]

Strangely enough I do give Global Warming some credence,but this film is marxism disguised as enviromentalism. It is because of polemics like these that people are becoming sceptical,ironically films like this are damaging the case for AGW.

[ThunderWolfMaster]

@daterwat666

true

[LetterheadExperiment]

@daterwat666 I don't see the difference between this and making someone wear a seat-belt. Sometimes the lemmings need to be slapped on the wrist. Plus a little less shit won't hurt Americans or your waistlines.

[daterwat666]

You appear to have totalatarian tendencies,and I am not a Yank. I think you will find that China(the number one polluter) will scupper any chance of CO2 reduction.I am only interested in facts of which this film is woefully short.

[LetterheadExperiment]

@daterwat666 Totalitarian tendencies by that definition would mean that cops shouldn't give tickets to people who don't put seat belts on their young children. I mean, everyone free, yaaaay. At what point then, when people don't honor the responsibility attached to freedom, does that freedom start being taken away. I wish people would take consumer control, not shop at wal-mart and help put a dent in child labour. People KNOW it happens, they always joke about it. Yet no one cares.

[LetterheadExperiment]

@daterwat666 I don't think that saying the "Americans used slaves" negates the fact that they did it in Europe. I'm also sure there was trading? But that's not what they were talking about here. "Yeah, this was the guy who mugged me, but in all fairness, he didn't rob the convenience store he went into to buy cigarettes with my money."

[daterwat666]

Actually I said"Slavery was an African custom" where US comes into it I do,nt know."Slavery was a crime of which not all white men are guilty,not all black men innocent".

[Vorticistick]

Makes obvious what is implied by history. And now the future.

BTW it's Rossini's the William Tell Overture.

[godsarmy36]

I must say that this is a good demonstration on how stupid man has gotten and the levels of stupidity that man always tops killing for the most dumb things possible. Know wonder the Bible say: Mens greatest knowledge is foolishness to God. Look what they did with what he gave. They destroyed one another.

[ThunderWolfMaster]

know the song name; cause i know it exists outside the movie.

[cupera1]

This SCIFI movie is not that great the visual effects in When Worlds Collide were much better, and far more likely to happen

[Disblerted]

definitely my favorite part!

so sad, and so true

[stellavedio]

amazing animation.

[nuikhomson1]

please, give subtitle in english for me

thanks.

[Vlasti79]

Masterpiece!

[ejbh3160]

HEMP! The one plant that can save us from Fosil Oil & growing it re-absorbs MORE CO2 than trees because its such a fast growing plant! The fibres are BETTER than wood pulp for paper & stronger than cotton (& cotton is responsible for 50% of chemical used in agri-business) the seeds make excellent ethanol & FOOD!

But it seems NOTHING will save us from GREED nor the relentless population growth. It will continue until a 'Tipping Point' is reached & Pachamama Earth decides for us.

[deskset24]

@ejbh3160 I agree 10000%. Millions like you are on the front line in the war against anti-drug terrorism. (fyi: I have the legal First Amendment Right to coin my own terms, and NOT get sucked in to using the language of my enemy. Saying I "oppose the Drug War" suggests that I am "anti-war". But, standing up and fighting for a cause IS war.)

But, pro-drug-choice will need MUCH more than speeches. Americans needs to invite another country's army into the USA to annihilate the DEA.

[schpongleded]

@ejbh3160 investigate Desteni to see how we all came to here, and what to do to stop. Also investigate Equalmoney fullstop organisation to see the real solution to this money-greed fuckup.

[Rafaelasproloupos]

@ejbh3160 what measures would you suggest about diminishing world's human population? Something like China did?

[ejbh3160]

@Rafaelasproloupos

No!

Education!

Although there could be tax-breaks for people who have small families (say one or two children) & fewer incentives to have big families like no more 'benefits' after 2 kids.

In developing countries free contraception for those who want it & globally speaking, better resource management for a fairer society always leads to people having fewer kids (in 'rich' nations populations aren't growing.. except by 'immigration')

'sustainability' with compassion.

[zoquibax]

@ejbh3160 The 1st world doesn't need to watch it's population, it's population is only growing because of immigration. It's the 3rd world that is responsible for overpopulation, ironically if the west was as it is depicted in this video the world would be a better place because then there would be a lot less people in those places and we'd make sure they didn't overpopulate.

[ejbh3160]

@zoquibax That's racist BS & just shows your own prejudices.

There aren't 3 worlds.. there is ONE world & the 'rich' developed nations have asset stripped 'resources' from 'undeveloped' nations to fuel greed & the 'growth' in the economy in the developed nations.

There is plenty of land to go round & plenty of resources to go round if we simply change to doing things in a 'sustainable' way.

Your comment clearly shows why it's called the age of 'stupid'.

[zoquibax]

@ejbh3160 I didn't even mention race once. Apologise.

[ejbh3160]

@zoquibax to quote you: "3rd world is responsible for over population"

THAT is racist BS! & you don't even realise it!

No I won't apologise you idiot! Go peddle your moronic eugenics ideas to someone else buddy.

Try 'resource rich nations' instead of 3rd world!

Ironically they'd be fine if the developed nations weren't stealing their resources in exchange for bits of 'paper'.

Ethiopia had a SURPLUS of food which they were FORCED to export to repay IMF loans, while babies starved on telly!

[zoquibax]

@ejbh3160 Well I didn't mention race once, I didn't say Germany should reduce population growth because Germany doesn't have problems in that area even though I don't have the same race as Germans. Besides, when we switch to a sustainable economy we won't be able to sustain all the 3rd world breeders, so it's pretty obvious I'm right in saying they need to cut down. How difficult is it to use a rubber?

[ejbh3160]

@zoquibax

"3rd world breeders"???... piss off you revolting racist pig! You don't understand the FIRST thing about it & you're just using it as an excuse to post your revolting racist opinions!

The "truth" is you're a racist... however "inconvenient" it is for you to look at yourself!

Don't bother to reply... We're done!

[zoquibax]

@ejbh3160 Please listen to reason, look at the facts yourself. At the moment there are just under 7 billion people, by 2050 the world population will be 9 billion with 8 billion in the 3rd world with virtually no change in the amount of people in the 1st world. Unless they stop breeding we will have a malthusian catastrophe on our hands. People in the 1st world can stop using so many resources and switch to a sustainable economy easily, but can we reduce the population in the 3rd world?

[ejbh3160]

@zoquibax the problems on this planet are NOT because of the 'numbers' of people.. it's because of the WAY we consume wastefully!

we COULD make goods low-energy, high-quality, long-lasting & recyclable & have MUCH less poverty globally!

We don't HAVE to have old polluting technologies driving our cars & power stations. There ARE alternatives NOW.

& when people feel 'prosperous' they have fewer children later in life & the population falls. That's why the West has falling populations.

Wake UP!

[ejbh3160]

cont.. and let's not forget that the only reason the '1st' world is apparently 'rich' is because they print the 'money' out of thin air & swap it for REAL resources from those '3rd' world countries you talk about.

At the hight of the famine in Ethiopia they were exporting grain to pay IMF 'debts'!

If we didn't steal their resources & make ourselves 'rich' maybe we would be the 'breeders' while their populations fell & while they lived in prosperity?

[zoquibax]

@ejbh3160 The 3rd world countries and their oppressive regimes then use the money to invest in their economies and begin the path to development, whatever corruption there is we mustn't stifle free trade because it is important in liberalizing these countries politically. Ethiopia's famine was caused by war, they had droughts before but had preparations in place for them which were disrupted by the war.

[ejbh3160]

@zoquibax their oppressive regimes would have no power if we didn't give them the means to oppress with arms deals dressed up as aid.

We only 'help' them (by loading them up with debt) because we need dictators to enforce the rape of their natural resources. It's happened all over Africa & the Middle East & beyond.. wherever other people have 'resources' we want the IMF or World Bank give them 'aid' with strings & 'advisors' who ensure the resources flow in exchange for bits of paper & bullets.

[beastinblack]

@ejbh3160 actually it is both that are contributing

[ejbh3160]

@beastinblack if you mean the 1st world is a problem because it is 'consuming' wastefully & the 3rd world is a problem because they don't have enough BECAUSE the 1st world consume wastefully, then I agree.

Also FYI the USA has a 2.1 population growth rate, while most European countries are much lower 1.2-1.8 & even the UK only has 1.9 growth. The USA 'consumes' 25% of the world's resources although it is only 5% of the global population

The problems are greed & a lack of respect for the Earth!

[zoquibax]

@ejbh3160 No it's a war on many fronts. Population is a factor as much as pollution and waste, the higher the population the more political incentive there is to waste resources, it's all connected, the only question is what practical measures we must apply to each identified factor and their effects and the more cold, logical, impartial and scientific we are in our approach the more effective we will be in achieving the fuzzy warm nice things we have set out to achieve.

[ejbh3160]

@zoquibax look buddy.. there are a million things we could very easily be doing before your eugenics plan should EVER be considered & even then I defy you to be the first to offer up yourself & your family to pay the ultimate sacrifice before expecting others to be held accountable for the greed of the 'developed' nations which only managed to 'develop' by stealing & raping the resources of the undeveloped nations (which should be called the 'resources' rich nations).

[beastinblack]

@zoquibax ever watched twelve monkeys?

[zoquibax]

@ejbh3160 Oh and by the way, telling the truth is difficult if it's something that hasn't been said before, you should not be so mean to people just because the truth is inconvenient.

[ejbh3160]

@zoquibax watch?v=xfzVQwW_8Jk

@ejbh3160 To be anti-hemp is to be anti-American. Tell that to the next puss filled bully that says shit about it in ignorance.
