[00:00.719]"How The World Works"
[00:01.517]
[00:02.320]Hey, kids
[00:03.642]Today, we're gonna learn about the world
[00:05.506]
[00:08.420]The world that's around us
[00:10.305]Is pretty amazing
[00:11.892]But how does it work?
[00:13.508]It must be complicated
[00:15.376]The secret is the world can only work
[00:19.346]When everything works together
[00:20.408]
[00:22.538]A bee drinks from a flower
[00:24.658]And leaves with its pollen
[00:26.523]A squirrel in a tree
[00:28.111]Spreads the seeds that have fallen
[00:29.997]Everything works together
[00:33.708]The biggest elephant, the littlest fly
[00:37.182]The gophers underground, the birds in the sky
[00:40.630]And every single cricket, every fish in the sea
[00:43.594]Gives what they can and gets what they need
[00:48.360]
[00:48.893]That is how the world works
[00:52.608]That is how the world works
[00:55.812]From A to Zebra
[00:57.144]To the worms in the dirt
[00:58.996]That's how it works
[01:03.523]
[01:05.112]Hey everyone
[01:06.451]Look who stopped by to say hello
[01:07.508]It's Socko
[01:10.705]Hey!
[01:12.019]Where you been, Socko?
[01:14.419]I've been where I always am when you're not wearing me on your hand
[01:18.141]In a frightening, liminal space between states of being
[01:22.387]Not quite dead, not quite alive
[01:24.553]It's similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis
[01:26.950]Socko, we were just talking about the world and how it works
[01:32.270]Boy, that sounds complicated!
[01:35.172]Do you have anything you'd want to teach us about the world?
[01:37.824]I wouldn't say anything that you probably haven't already said yourself
[01:41.575]I don't know about that, Socko
[01:43.706]How about you give it a try?
[01:46.621]Alright!
[01:47.430]
[01:47.966]The simple narrative taught in every history class
[01:51.416]Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist
[01:54.858]Don't you know the world is built with blood?
[01:59.138]And genocide and exploitation
[02:02.334]The global network of capital essentially functions
[02:06.583]To separate the worker from the means of production
[02:10.035]And the FBI killed Martin Luther King
[02:13.750]Private property's inherently theft
[02:16.716]And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left
[02:20.154]And every politician, every cop on the street
[02:23.615]Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
[02:27.075]
[02:28.424]That is how the world works
[02:31.334]Really?
[02:32.404]That is how the world works (that is how the world works)
[02:35.326]Genocide the Natives, say you got to it first
[02:39.037]That's how (that's how) it works
[02:43.030]
[02:44.083]That's pretty intense
[02:45.676]No shit
[02:47.002]What can I do to help?
[02:49.392]Read a book or something, I don't know
[02:51.798]Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you
[02:56.035]It's incredibly exhausting
[02:57.900]I'm sorry, Socko
[02:59.223]I was just trying to become a better person
[03:11.388]Why do you rich ****ing white people insist on seeing every socio-political conflict through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?
[03:11.954]This isn't about you
[03:13.537]So either get with it, or get out of the ****ing way
[03:16.450]Watch your mouth, buddy
[03:17.789]Remember who's on whose hand here
[03:20.444]But that's what I
[03:21.779]Have you not been ****ing listening?
[03:23.389]We are entrenched in
[03:25.244]Alright, alright
[03:26.299]Wait, no please!
[03:27.096]I don't wanna go back, please
[03:27.622]I can't go, I can't go back
[03:31.347]Please, please, I'm sorry
[03:35.071]Are you gonna behave yourself?
[03:37.749]Yes
[03:40.924]Yes, what?
[03:43.587]Yes, sir
[03:45.174]Look at me
[03:48.107]Yes, sir
[03:51.034]That's better
[03:52.108]
[03:53.159]That is how the world works
[03:57.142]That is how the world works
[04:00.071]I hope you learned your lesson
[04:01.935]I did and it hurt
[04:04.056]That's how it works
[04:09.355]
[04:13.613]No!
