Why do you think ibises are always rummaging through bins? All part of the spying. Australia's government is after all part of the Five Eyes intelligence sharing arrangement with the US.
Why can't they just be birds tho? There was a crow in my childhood who i accidentally hit one by a pebble and from that day onward that crow always waited on the branch infront of the balcony to hit me on the head...and i lived in fear from then on. Birds don't care and definitely don't want to friendly. Even if governments give them orders they'd hit their heads too.
Its funny how many people think BAR is legitimate at first glance. I feel like we are reaching a post-irony age where even the most outlandish claims are to be believed by enough people that it becomes legitimate. How do you parody something that is already a parody of itself? Thanks for another great video!
Or is that what they want you to think? I mean, think about it isn't the best way to keep the truth hidden to make people think the movement itself is fake. I wonder how much has the fbi paid her to make this video?
Dude, it IS totally legitimate. You just have to do your own research. The government won't let you see these genuine sources though so you have to seek out the people who know the truth
Had never heard of this, thanks for putting me onto them. Love how you brought some interesting things to the conversation too. Stoked for whenever your next video comes you. Cheers!
Pretending as if there's a line between millennial and gen z humor is a fool's errand. You can trace all the absurdist stuff to dada, like you said, but more recently it's all from stuff Gen X started like Mr. T Ate My Balls twenty five years ago. It's all a natural evolution that builds off what came before.
My wife is a birder so I fucking love this conspiracy theory, obviously I don't believe in it IRL but this is a fun one to LARP as a true believer in 😂
Great video, have always known there’s more to life than meets the eye, I feel like in this life i am supposed to be doing more than i am doing for the people i love. been seeking for an eye opening enlightenment, a way to be more influential, powerful and protected. !
oh well you can achieve that by being a part of the illuminatus brotherhood, i know it sounds like a mystery but there are ways you can actually get in contact with them
@@Margart526 Well it is not and you can't actually expect it to be open to everyone, but if you want to know more you can look up ANTHONY MARK SZYMON online you will find something interesting.
My dad and I totally had this joke when I was a kid and would go to Disney that all the birds and squirrels you saw there were animatronics and not real
As someone with a BS in Biology my first reaction upon learning of this conspiracy was “…of course birds aren’t real, they are taxonomically indistinguishable from DINOSAURS!!”
@ana-isabel While I've never actually seen a bird at any time during a government shutdown, I've been pooped on enough time that I can confirm in no uncertain terms that birds do in fact exist.
Oh, I'm going to be that guy. It's pronounced "Dull-us" with two syllables. As in Washington-Dulles International Airport. BTW, this is easily one of your more entertaining videos. Nobody is doing content quite like this.
There's a six-part documentary by Adam Curtis called Can't Get You Out Of My Head that goes into Operation Mindf*ck and the fallout of that if anyone is interested in hearing more about that.
I 100% heard about this before 2016... although i think the earlier iteration was just that pigeons aren't real. Came from the "have you ever seen a baby pigeon?". And the while pigeons are government surveillance. Heard about this in grade school so in the 90s (man im old)
Just a quick note; Allen Dulles' last name is pronounced "Dull less", not "Dulls" or "Dools. His brother John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State for President Eisenhower and Dulles International Airport (IAD) is named after John Foster.
I was on, Dickson St in Fayetteville, AR and saw a sticker on the pole of a streetlight that said "Birds Aren't Real" and thought that it was for a local band and wanted to check them out. A year later watching a show produced in, California it would finally be reviled what it was "really" about. 🦉🦉🦉
I live south of Ft Smith and I saw a flyer for BAR on a tack order at a laundromat in Poteau, OK. I'm now a proud BAR follower, and keeping an eye to the sky. 🤣
As an elder millennial all I can say is, the kids are alright. The world's fucked for sure, but the kids are ok. Dark humour is usually a sign of intelligence AND emotional literacy. Sometimes all ya can do is laugh or cry, and well I've run out of tears after so much constant insanity for decades...
This was awesome, but I think you should go back to your film analysis roots and talk about the ressurgent masterpiece that is Goncharov (1973). Love that movie.
Didn't really know much about this before. Fascinating analysis. I think it's something our culture desperately needs right now, this farcical conspiracy theory for us to all laugh along with.
It's so interesting to see the comedic counterpart to modern media, in the same way "The Daly Show: with Jon Stewert" did as a parallel to the rise of cable news channels.
This is fucking brillant and a great social commentary on how easy it is to start a trend and conspiracy. The ease of social media to spread dumb ideas like wildfire is both scary and dangerous. But this stunt was done hilariously and brillantly. We need more satire like this.
imo the thing that all these people that try to shift peoples thinking SHOULD be doing is teaching emotional intelligence. Trying to manipulate, no matter whether in a positive or negative way, seems to always make the results wildly unpredictable because of peoples differing in emotional intelligence. It is almost entirely out of your hand how a person will react or respond(very different things) to anything, but it is usually safe to assume it'll be in some sort of emotional way. Without the like knowledge of ones own emotions, how to communicate them, how to reflect on them, how to empathize with others emotions- this is where we see people fall into the black and white style of thinking. as they struggle to comprehend/digest their own emotions and reactions and thus pick the simplest/easiest thing for them to understand. like the whole using humour to teach is great, love seeing it- love using it lol. but imo without the baseline of basic knowledge of mental health/emotional intelligence and a shift in society to allow people to feel and ask questions, it;ll continue to not make much of an impact or confuse more than do good. and its frustrating as a big change needs to happen at like, a foundational level, like im talking at a parenting-how we treat raising n supporting children and then moving on to then how we raise and treat adults- kind of level. and with how fucked things are atm I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Intriguing, i always knew there was more to life and i have also been looking for a way to find not only protection but a way to be influential to the human society
Considering all the bat-shit crazy things they seemed to believe back in the 50's and 60's I wouldn't be surprized if they did try to make camera drones that looked like birds.
The timing of this upload is pretty fitting, seeing as how some absolutely insane egoists are holding the the US parliament hostage. I think it's perfectly fine to see "Gen Z humour" as a sequel to "Millenials internet humour", like 4chan, Something Awful, very early reddit from 10-15 years ago. We (I'm 35) started this trend of really absurd and "random" humour back in the mid 2000s, where so much was made satirical and ironic. The big difference, at least in my opinion, is that 15 years ago people took the inspiration from media, like Pepe the frog or Epic Fail Guy. Basically taking something really harmless and using it as memes, often changing and using it to an absurd level. On the other hand, Gen Z takes their inspiration a lot more from real life, e.g. individuals, their own history, socio-economic or political events. They both share the recreation and propagation of something. btw, I've had never heard of BAR before, but it immediately reminded me of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! lol Coincidentally also a Millenial humour classic.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster was another iconic stunt back in the day haha - thanks for reminding me of that one 🍝 The difference you pointed out between Millennial and Gen Z humor is interesting; I'd argue there'd still be some overlap between the subject matter of the two, but looking back (at least off the top of my head atm), classic "millennial" memes _do_ seem less heavy with the commentary, i.e. nyan cat, rick rolling, numa numa, etc. 🤔
Hayley Williams! i saw Hayley!!1 it’s crazy how they made their way even to video essays with their latest music/music videos. …and of any essays even into the one about Birds Not Real looool internet and Paramore, i truly love you both. match made in heaven
No but you were right the first time about millennial internet humor. Zoomers are the ones using it the most *now*, but it started as a millennial thing.
I can't remember if this was real or not but I feel like I saw some North Korean propaganda once that said there weren't any birds in America because we ate all of the birds since we don't have any food. Anyway, I just wanted to share that. Oh also, from that same video the North Koreans would send envoys to America to serve hot cups of coffee. Yeah, well anyway, now I'm gonna watch the rest of your video.
If you ask me, without Operation Mindfuck and the Discordian Society in general none of this would've reached the power, reach, and meta-level it has. Back in those days there were ideological camps going at each other with tensed brows, and on the other side hippies not really engaging with anything but saying "chill out". Humour if then was used to make fun of people, as a rhetorical means to denigrate and draw in/outgroup lines, not rarely with hateful undertone. It's all too easy to fall into those patterns, even if well-intentioned. The situation was (well, still is) messed up, and the easiest way to not overtense your own eyebrows or become an ineffective hippie is to laugh at yourself and others. The willingness to be silly and to be laughed at, and hope that rubs off on enough gray-faces. Failing that, it at least, as the BAR people rightly point out, provides an igloo. That all said, maybe it would be a good idea to make a video on The KLF for all them whippersnappers.
See Ana, you've proved I was right, you're every bit as smart, creative and thoughtful as I gave you credit for. 😁This was a smart and splendidly assembled essay, and had a perfect tone for the whacko Real Bird theory. It is distressing that people are gullible enough to fall for these things, especially so in North America, where any nutty theory seems to be believable to far too much of the voting population. And it is equally sad that people who believe conspiracy theories are more inclined to become entrenched in their beliefs rather than admit they were wrong. Well done Ana. Enjoy your vacation.
Sounds hilarious! But, at the same time, it is highly reflecting of the modern media discourse. There's so much fake that you can't really tell if it's real or not. This movements feels like an episode of "The news hasn't happened yet" of David firth.
I would argue that, if this is in good faith, then this is ultimately fun, but pointless. We have seen time and time again that satire is ultimately lost in conveyance. Either you already get it, and it reinforces your opinion, or you don't get it and it reinforces your opinion. No one is swayed by being condescended to, it just makes the people that were already on your side feel a sense of superiority. Like, the short-game here is: someone sees it and reads up on whatever you're actually trying to raise awareness on and maybe you sell a tshirt, but the long-game is: a crazy person takes this seriously or too far and kills birds. So, I cyncically believe that this is all in bad faith and just "clever" marketing for branding purposes: "buy my stuff, it's funny AND activism... or whatever."
Yup this is where I stand too. We have reached a point where reptilians, flat earth etc. Are taken seriously. You can no longer parody reality because it has become too ridiculous. We have people destroying butterfly sanctuaries to rescue fictional trafficked children and burning down 5g cellphones. People can and will mass kill birds if this satire reaches the masses.
I don't think you needed to correct it. Millenial humor was what the internet was built around. don't give gen z all the credit. Dual credit is the way it should be thought of
peter mcindoe was one of my best friend's older brother's in HS and i remember when this was still in earlier stages, and i just have to say that he was a stoner from a homeschooled family and this movement was not initially thought through as much as the story implies
i am also a stoner from a homeschooled family so no judgement, but i find it hilarious how big this has gotten and how they've decided to make it a real statement at this point
Mexican humor is full of death and dark topics. We cope woth loss by mocking and worshipping death (and no, Coco is not a accurste representarion, it's actually offensive.) I think everything, everything, is fair territory for personal or private jokes, but satire and public comedy should never make jokes that attack victims, and only attack the rich, the famous and the powerful.
