David Icke - Remember Who You Are

Recorded at Wembley arena 2012

You do relies David Icke was mentally traumatized from his career ending at such a young age.

The only thing needed to end all wars; everyone stop obeying orders!!

Would that not result in complete and total anarchy, necessitating as it does the complete removal of all governments?

You think that would be an improvement?

Why would it result in anarchy? I would still be myself and not do anyone any harm.

All I´m saying is if everyone who was told to pick up a rifle, sit in a fighter jet or simply push a button said no, we would have no wars.

Because without governments, without social structure, people will start grabbing for anything, for everything they can get. Mankind's been doing it for millennia, fighting over differences in race, religion, nation, or just for good old fashioned greed.

You say you'd not do anyone harm, but if someone tried to take what you have, would you defend yourself? Or would you just let them take everything you have, and hope they wouldn't just kill you anyway?

Because that's the choice you'd be facing.



You'd have to rewire the brain of every living human being to turn them into pacifists in order to make this happen, and at that point, isn't the cure worse than the disease?

Your arguments are why we do have wars.

And do you really see that changing anytime soon?

We're talking about fundamental aspects of human nature here. Everyone knows that wars don't really do anything but leave a lot of dead bodies behind, but we've still been doing it for longer than we've been recording history.

For all our intellect, man is far more of an animal than we like to think we are.

Unpopular opinion: I love rain. And snow. And 'bad' weather in general. I love bad weather. When the newscasters are on TV saying "it's going to be yucky out there for today's commute..." I shrug. What's so bad about it?

I dislike (or hate) summer weather. I dislike sunshine. There, that's unpopular.

Me too! When I moved to the desert, I promised myself never to complain about the rain.

That is so not unpopular with me!

Don't mean to be a necromancers, but....


I think the U.S military is over-glorified

I don´t think that´s neither an unpopular nor uncommon opinion

If you say that here you'll have common people turn vicious lol

People can be so sensitive

Every military is over-glorified.

You should hear the media here, as far as they're concerned everyone who joins the armed forces is by default a hero.

It pisses me off every time I see/hear it.

According to people here, if you don't grovel at the feet of soldiers you don't deserve freedom and are a terrorist. Like come on, they're normal people not gods



Exactly!!

The same thing is with cops too! Just because you're "serving your country" doesn't necessarily mean you are a good person.

For all the government knows some people could just be serial killers looking for a way to get away with murder. Not everyone who joins the armed forces or police is necessarily a good person with the best intent, but they're all portrayed as heroes and saviours when in reality they're just:

A.) Normal people that are just braver than most, but being brave doesn't make you a hero
B.) All the same no matter where you go. Cops and armies all serve the government now, no matter where you live
C.) Corrupt people looking for power




Just look at Grelod the kind. An old lady who owns an orphanage. She should be sweet and caring, right?

WRONG.


Your job does not define your personality

Exactly.

And what really pisses me off, is a term they use over here; "have-a-go-hero", which is used for anyone who isn't in the military who does something heroic. So someone who runs into a burning building to save a complete stranger, for instance, would be described like that in a newspaper, as if anyone who isn't in the military can't be a hero, when the reality is that those in the military aren't heroes, because unlike that person, they're being paid to do it. I'm not saying they can't be heroes, but just signing up doesn't make you one.

That term pisses me off so badly, I could literally rant for hours at the simple existence of it.

Being a hero is a good thing so of course they use that to get into people´s heads, making them do what they want them to do.

@Callidus

That's an enraging term.

It just really bother me like they treat soldiers like gods, most militaries would probably turn their guns on the people they protect so quickly

They're just normal people doing thier jobs. Yeah, thier jobs are dangerous, but they knew what they signed up for,

I'm not ungrateful, because it would be kinda hard to survive without a military but on the other hand, come on. It's not like every single soldier is a hero, to othe countries they're the terrorists, innocent people are killed too.

@rocu

That's another problem. Some people want to be praised just because and will do whatever to get that praise.

More people are selfish, greedy, and corrupt than people allow themselves to see
