How quantumushroom sees the next 4 years

NetRunner says...

The description on YouTube is interesting indeed:

An epic movie filled with symbolism about the battle for freedom and equal rights! (With english and german subtitles)

This movie portrays two ideologies fighting each other. The ideology of GREEDY SELFISHNESS and the ideology of EQUAL RIGHTS.

The maggot king, desperate to acquire even more wealth looks for new opportunities. And these opportunities lie in the east, where the people have still not been enslaved by the greedy empires. Producers (Pigs) are happy about a possible war, because they will be able to gain a lot of profit on cheap labor and the war ministers (Spiders) are happy as well, because a war means that they will wield more soldiers and thus more power!

Everyone will be better of. So it seems, but no one asked the people. Although they are over 99% of the population, they will gain nothing from a war, only suffering and death. Unwilling to go to war, the government brainwashes them to brain-dead fleas and so they assault the Soviet Lands.

However the people of the USSR are determined to liberate their motherland from the white empires. Because only when the red flag is victorious, only then all people around the world will become free. With their red flags they enlighten the fleas who are able to think freely once again and turn back to humans. As such, they turn their rifles against their rulers and change the society into a democratic socialist one. All countries unite and form the Socialist World Republic. Eternal peace and friendship has come!

Music: Der heimliche Aufmarsch
East German song sung by Ernst Busch

PLOT: White flags symbolise the white movement against the red army, the four flags USA, UK, FRANCE and JAPAN symbolise the countries which have sent soldiers to fight Soviet Union. Later the is a Panzer III, a nazi tank fighting against allies. This time USSR, USA, UK and FRANCE fight together against fascism! In the end they win and some centuries later all people of all nations unite in eternal peace!

the nazi reference in this video was the choice of the music, infact. its an old german song, but the nazis used it frequently in their propaganda radio broadcasts and such; it was almost their "theme song".

but i agree with you, the add is anti-war, not anti american.

In reply to this comment by conan:
erm... Exactly where is the comparison between Nazi aggression and US aggression? I did see some US flags in there, but i don't think they were used in a specific anti-american way but just because the by far biggest part of military footage (fiction or reality) shows US military and the creators of this video had to take their clips from somewhere. But where was the Nazi reference?

Maybe Mink mixed up the german word for german ("deutsch") with dutch (our northern neighbors)?

What i do like best is the fact that this video mixes two types of "propagandas", scenes that are taken from ads (i guess) and scenes that are taken from anti-war movies. I think it's pretty strong, also because of the great music choice and the very slow change of mood / setting from heroic to horrible.
