I Noticed Something On This That Really Stood Out And Relates To Human Society Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

I noticed something on this that really stood out and relates to human society “si vis pacem, para bellum - if you want peace, prepare for war” and it made me think about something I read ages ago which was a post on tumbler with the humans are aliens stuff, it said in it that some terrestrial would try to make war with humans on purpose because as it figured out, humans evolve with war. We create new medicine we create new machines that are faster, better quality and more efficient, and once we gain peace for even a little bit we take into account the environment and try to make our items sustainable for it. But all in all we fight for peace but also we fight for evolution in our ways of thinking and lifestyle. Look at everything we have accomplished now. More than 80% wouldn’t be here today without fighting, without war…think about that for a bit.

i’ve been thinking about this video nonstop since the first time i saw it

the jaunty walk perfectly in time with the music. the tip of the hat the unaware or uncaring bystanders. the shaky camera with random zooming. the fact that this is seemingly happening in a park. this is peak media i can’t get over it

is this what the kids are listening to these days?
