[00:00.040]Hey, kids
[00:01.783]Today, we're gonna learn about the world
[00:06.906]The world that's around us is pretty amazing
[00:11.145]But how does it work? It must be comp-l-icated
[00:14.901]The secret is: The world can only work
[00:18.444]When everything works together
[00:21.779]A bee drinks from a flower and leaves with its pollen
[00:25.949]A squirrel in a tree spreads the seeds that have fallen
[00:29.715]Everything works together
[00:33.225]The biggest elephant, the littlest fly
[00:36.514]The gophers underground, the birds in the sky
[00:39.423]And every single cricket, every fish in the sea
[00:43.329]Gives what they can and gets what they need
[00:47.213]That is how the world works
[00:51.810]That is how the world works
[00:54.731]From "A" to "zebra" to the worms in the dirt
[00:58.418]That's how it works
[01:02.648]Hey, everyone, look who stopped by to say hello! It's Socko!
[01:08.833]Hey!
[01:11.101]Where you been, Socko?
[01:12.347]I've been where I always am when you're not wearing me on your hand: in a frightening, liminal space between states of being! Not quite dead, not quite alive! It's similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis
[01:27.817]Socko, we were just talking about the world and how it works
[01:30.964]Boy, that sounds complicated!
[01:34.076]Do you have anything you'd want to teach us about the world?
[01:36.380]I wouldn't say anything that you probably haven't already said yourself
[01:40.400]I don't know about that, Socko. How about you give it a try?
[01:45.111]All right!
[01:46.543]The simple narrative taught in every history class
[01:50.362]Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist
[01:54.684]Don't you know? The world is built with blood!
[01:58.282]And genocide! And exploitation!
[02:01.474]The global network of capital essentially functions
[02:05.546]To separate the worker from the means of production
[02:09.391]And the FBI killed Martin Luther King
[02:12.931]Private property's inherently theft
[02:15.885]And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left
[02:19.279]And every politician, every cop on the street
[02:22.475]Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
[02:26.750]That is how the world works (Really?)
[02:31.178]That is how the world works
[02:34.394]Genocide the Natives, say you got to it first
[02:37.969]That's how it works
[02:42.268]That's pretty intense
[02:44.084]No shit!
[02:45.946]What can I do to help?
[02:47.990]Read a book or something, I don't know. Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you. It's incredibly exhausting!
[02:56.745]I'm sorry, Socko. I was just trying to become a better person
[03:00.105]Why do you rich ****ing white people insist on seeing every socio-political conflict through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization? This isn't about you! So either get with it or get out of the ****ing way!
[03:15.523]Watch your mouth, buddy. Remember who's on whose hand here
[03:19.151]But that's what I've— Have you not been ****ing listening? We are entrenched in—
[03:23.015]Alright! Alright! I... 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
[03:33.291]Are you gonna behave yourself?
[03:36.056]Yes
[03:38.144]"Yes," what?
[03:41.832]Yes, sir
[03:44.026]Look at me
[03:47.359]Yes, sir
[03:49.709]That's better
[03:51.414]That is how the world works
[03:56.553]That is how the world works
[03:59.329]I hope you learned your lesson! (I did, and it hurt!)
[04:02.777]That's how it works
[04:11.942]No!
