Brilliant piece!

Marko

The level of human greed and isn't a rabbit hole but a chasm. As so eloquently pointed out here, the super rich get away with corruption whilst the average human is harassed for chump change. The work involved in creating this film, as with everything else is incredible, and all delivered with a wry sense of humour. The piece of footage with the dung beetle made me cry with laughter, and let's face it, the entire situation is laughable despite being so tragic.

The Hated One

It's a cluster of conflicting emotions. It's a sense of injustice about why this is even allowed, with a bit of disbelief in how it's even possible, and a tragicomic dissociation when one is not sure whether laughter or outrage is a more legitimate reaction.

Marko

Yes exactly that! I feel precisely the same.

Hi there. I became a patreon supporter after watching this video. This is the rare kind of information the public needs to see much more of. Well packed, non-partisan crude to the point; though it was from 20 years ago, surely is not too long passed. I hope you'll be well for an long enough time to see a change. I don't even blame the fact that there are rotten humans beings at the top (or bottom) of the chain, which is, well, human; but rather US, who keep them there. We who work normal jobs and live this life by a set of rules we, as society gave us doing our best. We, as the collective are the law, and our organs are failing, because not enough of us are doing what is needed to expel this cancer. And I think news are the major cause for this happening. So, thank you for standing in the front-line making a change.
