- The following is a clip from the upcoming film END:CIV
- To help make this project a reality visit WWW.ENDCIV.COM
- I gave a talk in Oregon a couple of years ago and this guy afterwards said,
- "You know, you talk a lot about this culture being based
- on violence but I don't see it, you know, I'm not violent."
- And, I say, "Okay, first off, where's your shirt made?" He looked and it was made in Bangladesh.
- I said, "Look,do we even need to talk about that?"
- "He's fucking faking he's dead!" Yeah, he's breathing." "He's faking he's fucking dead!"
- Our way of living -- industrial civilization -- is based on,
- requires, and would collapse very quickly without persistent and widespread violence.
- (indecipherable) a large explosion, a large explosion.
- (sound of gun shots)
- Wow.
- Woman: I'll just take a couple eggs. How many you want? Man: two.
- "Two, two is good. Okay. Now what next?" "Two ham." "Great."
- "Tomato." "Tomato, okay, how about that?" "Okay, some onion." "Onion."
- "Ooh, and cheese!" "Everything, then, right, you want everything. Okay.
- I understand, okay. We'll just pop this on. Now watch!
- I'm chopping the ham and veggies, grating the cheese, and whipping the eggs
- all in three seconds. The machine that just made those smoothies for Vernon and Fred
- can make an omelette.
- Man: There's not much time left to get this beautiful hope diamond necklace
- (interrupted by gunshots), Gillian?
- Woman: Absolutely, John, you're going to want to give us a call to get this beautiful
- hope diamond necklace. This is a 45.52 carat diamond surrounded by
- 16 white diamonds. It has a platinum chain bearing 46 more diamonds.
- Man: These are twelve 4-ounce southern barbecue chicken breasts.
- They stuff in gourmet, farm-fresh chicken breast -- they come from the barnyard
- to your backyard. They're wonderfully marinated and guaranteed to be
- tender, juicy, and downright delicious.
- Woman: Fine-tune those measurements. We keep them on file. They're saved,
- they're on our computer. Go back into the section where you reorder,
- and fine-tune those measurements for us. Um, and then we'll have a chance
- to send you another pair of customized jeans that we really believe
- are going to fit perfectly.
- Man: We're going to do a countdown,
- starting from 5. Everybody got to help me out here,
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 (explosion) Ho!
- (cheering and clapping) It worked!
- Second, I said, "Okay, do you pay rent?" He's like,
- "Yeah." And I said, "Why?"
- And he said, "Because I don't own..." And I said, "No, no, no. What would happen if you didn't pay rent?"
- He said, "Well the sheriff would come and evict me." I said, "Well, I don't know what that means. What would happen?"
- "Well, the sheriff would come and he would knock on the door--"
- "So, okay, great. What happens if you open the door
- and you say 'Hey, I'm just finishing up making dinner. You want some?'
- And so the sheriff sits down, you feed him, you don't poison him.
- And then, uh, after dinner you say, 'Well, you know, you've been
- somewhat pleasant company but not all that pleasant so I would like for you to leave my home now.' What would happen?"
- He said, "Well, the sheriff would pull out his gun and he'd say,
- 'Well, I'm here to evict you because you didn't pay rent.'" I said, "Ahh,
- so the reason you pay rent is because if you don't, some guy with a gun is going to come and take you away."
- He said, "I think I get it." I said, "Well, let's try again.
- What happens if you're hungry so you go to the grocery store and you start eating.
- What's going to happen?" Said, "We're going to call the sheriff!"
- I say, "Yeah, it's the same guy who's going to come with the gun to take you away. He's a real asshole, isn't he?"
- So one of the reasons we don't see a lot of the violence is because it's exported.
- Another reason we don't see a lot of the violence is because we've been so metabolized into
- the system that we've bought into this strange notion that it's okay
- to have to pay to exist on the planet.
- That's really, really weird, and if you don't pay, then some guy with a
- gun is going to come and bad things are going to happen to you.
