For those who don't get it, here is some background lore: The Civilization minecraft genre of videos has existed since Covid, and has been a really popular format. Basically, creators put a hundreds or thousands of players in various environments and see how the server develops. Players can trade, attack or collaborate together. It's a civilization sim, but in minecraft. Think of ENReco, but with a LOT more players. There are hundreds of videos simulating medieval minecraft civilizations, floating island civilizations, ocean civilizations, etc. You name it. RUclipsrs tried to milk this trend to death. Hence, the genre eventually became oversaturated and boring. It didn't help that those videos still got pushed to death by the algorithm. Parkour civilization is essentially a shitpost and a critique of that style of content, emphasizing the absurdity of the common tropes in minecraft civilization videos. It pokes fun at creators masking scripted events in their videos as naturally occurring conflicts between their players, and mocks the hundreds of unoriginal derivatives this trend generated (except the parody is actually more original and entertaining than most). The "jump to get raw beef or chicken" is an exaggerated example of how admins in those civilization videos will purposefully force players to build stupid currency systems or incentivize useless conflicts to make their otherwise benign sims more entertaining. They just want to recreate Game of Thrones in minecraft, not make an accurate civ. simulation. A "parkour civilization" also sounds really stupid in concept, but the fact the satirical video itself is better than 90% of actual civilization videos adds to the humour. Overall, the video echoes the sentiment of a lot of zoomers who are tired of the same uninspired, manufactured content poop from copycat RUclipsrs, who are trying so hard to write a serious historical drama about a stupid block game. Parkour civilization shits on the whole premise by making a foolery out of the genre. You could say it's a deconstruction of the genre itself. It points out how brain-rotten most of its common tropes are by amplifying them to absurdity, while keeping a serious tone to show the total lack of awareness of RUclipsrs, who think they've just made a masterpiece. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
I saw you post this on another video as well. It's a neat way to interpret it but unless the creator has said this somewhere I don't think the satire angle was intentional. Looking at his other videos I think he just likes making scripted minecraft videos. Parkour civ is clearly aware that the whole thing is dumb but it's also played pretty straight. It's pretty rare that it lampshades stuff or breaks the internal logic of the world. I've only seen the first one though, maybe the sequel is the highbrow satire you described

I don't think Parkour Civilization is satire. It's played entirely straight.
wdym jumping 1 block is a stupid currency? Ima 360 jump onto a candle and deal 10 hearts to you.
I would have to put too much energy to verify this so Imma believe it because it's fun

Just watched 5 minutes of the Parkour Civilization movie. It's pretty good. Really reminds me of the old days of Machinima
