      Disturbed's video is about the economic and cultural identity crisis of the early 2000s. While the message of unity that derives from the original song and their tribute to it is similar, Genesis' video was made in 1986. The world had been going through a Cold War for almost thirty years, with each side spreading misinformation and trying to invest more in its military arsenal than the other.
      With the mid 80s (this video is is from '86), the world was also exposed to the dangers of nuclear technology following the Chernobyl incident, showing everyone that not only the nuclear weapons being used by the opposing powers were likely to bring the world to an end, but even the peace-time uses of it.
      Added to this, both the Soviets and the US found themselves being led by unqualified people, with their share of problems (Gorbachev's drinking and Reagan's mental issues), people who were put in charge of an enormous military that had been waiting to pull the trigger for 3 decades, and which was now facing aging hardware and software that were liable to cause a disaster merely through a computer glitch or some decayed wiring.
      Genesis' depiction of this is brilliant through its caricature, as Reagan presses what he thinks is his nurse's call button, only to trigger a missile launch instead. And all the while, the world seems to be oblivious to what is going on (the TV channels, putting everyone to sleep through funny talk-shows, optimistic series like Star Trek, which is why you see Leonard Nimoy's Spock at one point, and general entertainment, like Michael Jackson who appears in his Thriller outfit).
      This was the true crisis facing the World in the 80s, even though most people block it out and only remember the fun music and different clothes or hair people wore. It was 2 sides with a very strong and embedded sense of identity, each trying to prove one's ideology over the other.
      Disturbed was for the children of those generations of people, who instead felt purposeless and being only alive to exist as part of a vast economic machine that gave no importance to their value beyond their productivity. Bad in its own way, but not in the accidentally world-ending sense of things.
      Might be neither of those things that screws us over now though, but this asshole virus instead, that's gonna tank economies with the equality of Communism and the ruthlessness of Capitalism simultaneously. And it's likely gonna kill more people before its conclusion than any of the last wars of the 20th and 21st centuries...

    • @vtr0104
      @vtr0104 4 года назад +11

      @monokhem I stand corrected, it was indeed Boris Yeltsin who I was remembering.
      As for the second part, a lot of people my parents' age actually thought a nuclear incident the likes of Chernobyl was as close to being in the vicinity of a deployed weapon.
      While this doesn't make any sense (a reactor is not built on the same principles as actual nuclear ordnance), these were folks born in the late 30s (and maybe being part of the Communist block didn't help either).
      I don't think even an actual nuclear war would end the planet, it's been through far worse and some ecosystem always replaces the previous one, eventually.
      But it would end a lot of what's been built and that people are used to. The "modern conveniences", so to speak. Hell, we've still got infrastructure in place and still the whole world's panicking, and it didn't take 10000 nuclear warheads to do it, only a tiny virus....

I was born in 1980 and remember from '83 onward. Reagan's "evil empire" speech really ruffled some feathers and Operation Able Archer didn't help either, bringing us closest to nuclear war by the end of '83. But we did help Afghanistan protect and defend against the Soviets. It was a great time for economic growth, where many were making a killing in the stock markets. New fashion trends, gadgets, entertainment...I could go on.

      Just as your programmers wanted you see your helpmate as your enemy. It causes double mindedness which leads to instability in all your ways - Proverbs/book of Wisdom shares that a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

      (1) Confederate monuments confer undue dignity on a faction that fought to preserve the institution of slavery and the ethos of white supremacy that underlays it.
      (2) Alexander Stephens, VP of the CSA, famously gave the “Cornerstone Speech” in which he announced that the new Confederate government was FOUNDED on the idea that blacks were inferior to whites.
      (3) General Robert E Lee acknowledges that he fought to preserve the institution of slavery, but one letter written after the Civil War in 1866, addressed to Gen. Thomas L. Rosser shows Lee Actually OPPOSED the erection of Confederate monuments or symbols saying it would keep division alive. (he was Sooo right)
      (4) Any unprovoked attack on Civilians or Military bases are acts of Terrorism, -Fact. Major Robert Anderson of the Confederate Army became a Domestic Terrorist when he Attacked Fort Sumpter before sunrise on April 12, 1861, leading to a total senseless loss of over 620,000 American soldiers.
      (5) Why do some insist on celebrating the lives of men who committed treason in the name of preserving slavery? That these statues even exist is unusual. When armies are defeated on their own soil-particularly when those armies fight to promote racist or genocidal policies-they usually don’t get to keep their symbols and material culture. Seriously, who does that?!? Even Deutschland knows better.
      (6) In 1949, West Germany criminalized the display of swastikas; the symbol was blown off of buildings. The federal state systematically destroyed statues & MONUMENTS!, razed many Nazi architectural structures and buried ‘executed’ military and civilian officials in mass, unmarked graves so that their resting grounds would not become Nazi shrines. The Confederates were lucky the benevolence of Lincoln prevented him from doing the same.
      (7) The statues were blunt instruments in institutionalizing white supremacy and blotting out the dual sins of treason and slavery. Those who believe anything else will forever be on the WRONG Side of history.
      (8) if the South had prevailed:
      (a) the Institution of Slavery would have persisted well into the 20th Century
      (b) The “United” States would Not exist as the Super Power it continues to be; therefore...
      (c) We May have not had the Military & Organizational strength to assist Churchill in defeating the Nazis nor stand up to the CCCP during the subsequent Cold War.
      (d) We also Might not have a GIANT well deserved statue of a Real American Patriot, Abraham Lincoln, in The Capitol

    Genesis should do a reunion version of this song, changing out the puppets for current day politicians and celebs. Fits perfectly because Spitting Image is back too. C'mon Genesis... do it.

      Even without the metaphor it fits today’s circus, there’s always going to be puppets in control with the strings being pulled by the weight of money.

    I didn't realize how industrial this song sounds until hearing it as an adult. Love the throbbing bass synth rhythm and choppy guitar riffs.

      Much more so than in the 80's, in fact. Despite the Left's partisan attacks on Reagan, he and Bush 41 ended the Cold War and the threat of nuclear annihilation -- until the bungling by Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama ushered in a new set of such problems.

      Simple message, but, truer words were NEVER spoken! It's a world worth fighting for, but, the world powers that be, are simply fighting for a greater share of the world's political power over the vast majority of the world's citizens, no matter WHERE they live in the world! My opinion, so, prove me wrong, if you can.
