It gives some relief to think that there’s a global conspiracy, because it’s the less scary option to what really might be; that there’s no pilot on this ship going 100mph
But there IS no pilot. In our hubris, and with our technology, we have exposed all of mankind to the chaotic 'bare metal' of our world. Never have we been more directly connected to the first-hand accounts, and never have we been more confused by what those accounts say.
Many thanks for uploading this. (I just had to share this with friends but don't have the technical smarts). How it ever got through BBC filtering I don't know unless it was deliberate a la Surkov, of course.
Doyle Harken You're looking too deeply into it. No one runs around with evil grins on their face plotting to cause destruction, even if that is a side effect of peoples collective actions, all the people involved in this kind of obfuscation have some kind of warped rationale for what they do. Cogs in a machine.
If a video wanted to educate you it would state facts with evidences. But this video doesnt do that, it just confuses people and gives them the fear that they are manipulated and they wont be able to understand the world.
MarvelExtra Kind of exactly what he is accusing Putin of. Sounds like this has been around for along time. the 21st Century is the century of the deconstruction of history and there immunization from propaganda, the age of productive cynicism. It is just going to take a long time because 7 billion people have to try to catch up and get on the same page. But ... it's going to be a Western page for the most part.
The answer is to have a basic set of rights and freedoms ... like FDR defined, and then judge what is and what should be by argument, discussion and creative debate over what goals are being met, how, what needs to change ... in corporations this would be the process management and improvement - which is probably why corporations, broken as they are, are so important to the world order. Very important video, thanks for posting.
Good, but I think that Manufacturing Consent gives a more detailed, more accurate and better exemplified explanation of modern media within state capitalist systems.
@@acchaladka well, wasn't gramsci all about the war of position in the media? This is less trying to be original than it is communicating ideas through mass media.
Today is Nov 3 2017. Amazing poignancy from the end of 2014 to the end of 2017. Depressing that we’ve made no progress counter-acting these affronts to personal freedoms and civilized society as a whole in the 3 years since this Adam Curtis short was produced for The Weekly Wipe. We’ve only begun to unravel the depth of non-linear warfare. Non-linear cyber warfare is triumphantly rampant - it’s mutated and evolved to the point of the disruption of democratic elections, and is generating more divisive and derisive confusion through the proliferation of so-called “fake news” daily. Arguable to state that even ISIS has had more success with non-linear war than actual warfare - certainly in 2017. ISIS claimed terrorist attacks have risen outside the middle east, while ISIS lost significant control of ground on the battlefield in the middle east simultaneously. Yet even with the loss of Raqqa and Mosul, ISIS controls the narrative on terrorism. Winning hearts and minds is literally taking precedence to winning war on the physical ground of battle. They have shown (or claimed) they can strike anywhere, anytime. That fear of anywhere, anytime, is the heart of “terrorism”. We are struggling BIGLY to counter ISIS (and other extremist groups) influence over individuals turning themselves into weapons through their sophisticated employment of non-linear war tactics. Everytime a lorry is driven into a public crowd, they sow mass confusion and strengthen their presence as a menacing group aimed on global destruction. ... and I can only write and comment on that which I/we know of, at this moment. State sponsored and non-state groups (e.g. Fancy Bear, Anonymous), are hacking for means of industrial sabotage, digital money laundering schemes, algorithmic currency manipulation, military database infiltration, and personal data theft, amongst other means of espionage, daily. This is happening at every single moment of the day. It is happening right now, as you read this. Most of this cyber warfare goes unnoticed by national and multinational coalition cyber policing efforts, and those which are caught, and disclosed to the public at large, are vastly underreported by media outlets, large and small, left and right. Unless they contain nude pictures of celebrities... Back to the topic on hand in this video, it’s as if Curtis head-on predicted Russia’s meddling in the 2016 US election, their alleged hacking of the DNC, and the (now confirmed) use of fake profiles and adverts to promote confusion on social media platforms. Substitute PM May for Osbourne and Brexit for QE and he was almost spot on regarding the British economy too. Woah is us. Or as Mr. Curtis laments, “oh dear”.
This is entertainment and each and every topic and relationship can be understood within a few minutes of research. Nothing surprising or "confusing" about any of this.
"each and every topic and relationship can be understood within a few minutes of research" I'm yet to encounter any topic or relationship in my life that can be what I would call "understood" within a few minutes of research. You can lull yourself into a false sense of understanding of something within a few minutes, but I've never been a big fan of ignorant self-delusion.
That was my thought exactly. The BBC tells us that "we as individuals become every more powerless, unable to challenge anything" and hints at the end that the ingraining of this message was orchestrated. Lmao
@@emilyliushen well that's because this was made by one man, and it represents his views. The BBC isn't telling you, Adam Curtis is. Curtis has been working there since the 80s and has received numerous awards. His videos require such small budgets that he mostly gets left alone by the suits.
This is simply a FANTASTIC short movie ! The world is heading to a dark and uncertain future ! 2015. was terrible we will see what the 2016. will bring
Notice how he emphasises 'shapeshifting' twice in the space of a minute and then goes to a shot of the moon.I think he knows a lot more than he is able or willing to let on.
+kelman727 Remember in THX-1138? Remember that guy who replaced LUF and followed him around thru his escape? Any top-down system that attempts to create order will have to "spy" on its way to doing so. As long as there is dissent, there will have to be conspiracy to squash dissent. Check out Machiavelli. It's a necessary part of Empire-building. "Inevitable".
You don’t think the world is run by and in the interests of those with power? If you believe that power exists and that some command more of it than others. Then it would probably stand to reason those individuals would put in a lot of effort to make sure that things stayed on course... Part of the problem is the word “conspiracy”. We don’t call it a conspiracy when executives at GM get together and strategize how to maximize profit and market share. We don’t call it a conspiracy when political leaders work with the business sector to get elected and use levers of the State to mutually benefit each other... Being ignorant of power doesn’t make you any less subordinated to it. If anything it just makes you more..

This was made 7 years ago but it feels like it was made 7 days ago.
Oh i finally found it! Saw it a few years ago! Living it now.
Now the news and reality getting more crazy every day. 2020 we‘ll never forget.
it's now 2022 and Putin has full on invaded Ukraine. this story just continues to highlight the shitfest of the world. Oh Dear.

I was gobsmacked this got through the Beeb Self-Censoring machine. Well done Brooker / Curtis! what a combo...
My thoughts exactly! Had to upload it. Brooker should start a youtube channel.
Because they think nobody will listen anyway or even with knowledge nothing can be done against the status quo?

Holy Shit. 2:32 into it. That's Natalya Veselnitskaya, the Lawyer from Don Jr's Trump tower meeting, With Putin back in 2104.
Michael Knoll nice spot
Great catch....or before 2014 as there is no time stamp on that bit and it is difficult to age what appears to be Putin from that angle.
Watched this a few times, and only just noticed the ambient music in the background in the end there is from the Drive soundtrack.
Good, but I think that Manufacturing Consent gives a more detailed, more accurate and better exemplified explanation of modern media within state capitalist systems.
Because that's longer than 6 minutes.
To be fair Gramsci did a better job than both, this seems a modern version of his theories.

What music is playing at 4:35 and then comes in again at 5:30? I can't place it and it's driving me mad
I think i've heard iit before...probably from the movie drive?
Please let me know if you find the name of the song.
Ricardo Pereira YES! Thank you. It's from Drive. I don't know the title of the track though
Eric Persson It is?Holy shit how did i remembered that, I only watched the movie once and it was a couple years ago.
Anyone know the music at 2:06? it sounds like something from a Satoshi Kon film.
it DOES!! don't have a clue what it might be though..
It sounds like it could be pye corner audio though I'm not sure what song
Yeah I think its Pachelbel's Canon in D minor but like a really odd cover of it. Like it could be played over the credits of a 90s television show.
Oh dear
