[00:01.329] Hey, kids
[00:02.582] Today, we're gonna learn about the world
[00:07.759] The world that's around us is pretty amazing
[00:11.761] But how does it work? It must be comp-a-licated
[00:15.433] The secret is the world can only work
[00:19.106] When everything works together
[00:22.510] A bee drinks from a flower and leaves with its pollen
[00:26.415] A squirrel in a tree spreads the seeds that have fallen
[00:30.183] Everything works together
[00:33.181] The biggest elephant, the littlest fly
[00:36.944] The gophers underground, the birds in the sky
[00:40.210] And every single cricket, every fish in the sea
[00:44.199] Gives what they can and gets what they need
[00:48.053] That is how the world works
[00:52.625] That is how the world works
[00:55.448] From A to zebra to the worms in the dirt
[00:58.993] That's how it works
[01:03.337]
[01:04.156] Hey, everyone, look who stopped by to say hello!
[01:07.973] It's Socko!
[01:09.698] Hey!
[01:11.560] Where you been, Socko?
[01:13.436] I've been where I always am when you're not wearing me on your hand:
[01:17.819] In a frightening, liminal space between states of being!
[01:22.107] Not quite dead, not quite alive! It's similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis
[01:28.450] Socko, we were just talking about the world and how it works
[01:31.970] Boy, that sounds complicated!
[01:34.581] Do you have anything you'd want to teach us about the world?
[01:37.469] I wouldn't say anything that you probably haven't already said yourself
[01:41.125] I don't know about that, Socko. How about you give it a try?
[01:45.602] Alright!
[01:47.370] The simple narrative taught in every history class
[01:51.188] Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist
[01:55.240] Don't you know? The world is built with blood! And genocide and exploitation!
[02:02.175] The global network of capital essentially functions
[02:05.998] To separate the worker from the means of production
[02:09.678] And the FBI killed Martin Luther King
[02:13.351] Private property's inherently theft
[02:16.286] And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left
[02:19.779] And every politician, every cop on the street
[02:23.401] Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
[02:27.363] That is how the world works (Really?)
[02:32.042] That is how the world works
[02:35.070] Genocide the Natives, say you got to it first
[02:38.846] That's how it works
[02:43.054] That's pretty intense
[02:44.822] No shit!
[02:46.608] What can I do to help?
[02:48.915] Read a book or something, I don't know.
[02:51.475] Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you. It's incredibly exhausting!
[02:57.109] I'm sorry, Socko. I was just trying to become a better person
[03:00.972] Why do you rich ****ing white people insist on seeing every socio-political conflict through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?
[03:10.668] This isn't about you! So either get with it or get out of the ****ing way!
[03:15.975] Watch your mouth, buddy. Remember who's on whose hand here
[03:19.753] But that's what I've— Have you not been ****ing listening?
[03:22.785] We are entrenched in—
[03:23.122] Alright! Alright! I...
[03:23.915] Wait, wait, wait! No, please! I don't wanna go back, please! I can't go— I can't go back! Please! Please. I'm sorry
[03:34.578] Are you gonna behave yourself?
[03:37.412] Yes
[03:39.558] "Yes," what?
[03:43.234] Yes, s-
[03:44.322] Look at me
[03:47.590] Yes, sir
[03:50.634] That's better
[03:52.771] That is how the world works
[03:57.134] That is how the world works
[03:59.688] I hope you learned your lesson! (I did, and it hurt!)
[04:03.686] That's how it works
[04:10.400]
[04:13.232] No! No!
