New Album Harakiri Available Now! - smarturl.it/harakiri Directed by Tawd Dorenfeld
Note From Serj Tankian:
Borders are the gallows of our collective national egos.
Subjective lines in the sand, water and air are separating plants, animals, and atmosphere.
Fear! Fear is the cause of separation for this imposed illusion, this cordoned off space from pre-birth.
When we run out of borders, we reach infinity and unity.
As for flags, they're much less useful than toilet paper.
No one has been caused distress by running out of flags.
They become useful in times of crisis and unjust manipulative coercions pitting the victim against the victor or vice-versa.
Neoliberal globalism is failing due to its underlying imperial ambitions and the discoveries of those sinister ulterior motives.
So the ambitions have reawakened for "democracy promotion," in the past few years.
In real terms, that means promoting democracy if and only if it serves imperial ambitions.
How about we create a real democracy right here and now!
Let's allow the people to vote for or against a pre-emptive war, universal healthcare, expansion of social security, the Kyoto Protocol, the International Criminal and World Courts, and the role of the United Nations in interventions and reconstruction of devastated lands. Let's vote for how we want our taxes to be spent, directly.
Major referendums discussed and debated thoroughly representing all sides of each issue on television.
All empires represent the aristocracy in their imperial ambitions, not the general populace!
Also in dire need is a true democracy of nations.
The UN Security Council should be dissolved and the General Assembly should rule all international affairs, allowing all nations equal access to the international forum and law.
Given the truth, all human beings will collectively choose the direction of this lost, possibly last civilization.

The thing i really enjoy with Serj Tankian videos. (other then the artist and music obviously) They are for the most part the only place i can find heated and yet educated debates that aren't about something completely stupid. Way to combat the unthinking majority, such the case of little kids complaining that this video is 'poorly made' the idea behind it is pretty damn amazing, take in the simplicity, people.
@HamannGeorg
@HamannGeorg 9 лет назад
I find this astonishing, for I can find nothing poor in this video. On the contrary I find it great. It is simple but abstract and in it's coldness makes me just shiver down the spine. It has the surreal feeling of a nightmare about it. Do people no longer understand art?

This is the first time I've watched in about7years and it's so sad how I can understand and relate to what he's talking about . The world is a fucked up place.

Serj, i respect you a lot for what you are. Behing so aware of the problems of our whole world is something you can be proud of even if it must be sometimes really hard to live with. We need so much more artists like you.. Sometimes this world just makes me want to cry out of despair! So many things happening, so many methods, ways of working and so on, that are just SO WRONG. And here you are, sitting at the base of this wall the whole world needs to climp..

Dude do you know what words are? He's talking about the good ole US has citizens fucked up on the next drug, pharma, tv, social media, celebrities, etc while the government claims war on what they say is unmoral persons like the Iraqi people, and we let them, therefore we are the unthinking majority. The music video shows how we fight for oil, and how the US comes in to "save the day" but the people they save don't want to be saved, because it's their country. It's like they're confused as to why people are there forcing their beliefs on them. That's why the girl went to help her countries soldier and she got killed too. Talk about unmoral.

The Philippines might be one of the worst countries with the overall stuff taking place but being a Native american on the land that once belonged to us...the government here is shit too. They do plenty for financial gain to us not just outsiders. I mean sending freaking tanks on a reservation is a bit.....lets face it...many of the world governments just suck and need to be wiped out and rebooted. By the way, I still love the Philippines as many of the people I know that are some of the kindest are from there....including my fiance ^_^ Stay strong mate~

"depression" and other mental illnesses are in large part due to external forces at work in the unnatural society in which we live. There is a natural factor of course, but I think we are more products of our environment than anything else. Just look at all the vets that come back from military action that suffer from PTSD. They get recruited into the system, and they're normal (for the most part). When they come back, a large number suffer from mental problems and get hooked to pills. It's all a part of the military/industrial/pharmaceutical industry and it's a vicious cycle - but hey, it keeps the economy moving!! PROGRESS!

@samuelswenson1505
@samuelswenson1505 8 лет назад
+Foxy Foxy Depression is the result of a bad life, fixing the problem is hard and complicated but medication is cheap, easy and profitable and makes people less likely to change the world and just accept how screwed we are.
@JSal-rp3gw
@JSal-rp3gw 8 лет назад
Samuel Swenson Not necessarily, depression can be further triggered by bad events but it is mainly due to a imbalance of the neurotransmitters dopamine and/seratonin. Some people are born that way and thus more prone to major depression. I realize after writing my first comment a month ago that the medication (Bupoprion HCl) has definitely helped me keep my emotions and suicidal thoughts in control. Nevertheless, I just want to say I absolutely feel like a hypocrite because I always saw myself as never needing medication because eventually things will work out on their own. But after so many years and constant setbacks, I needed to resort to it. I'm thankful for it and yet I am afraid because now I do not know if I can live without it.
@samuelswenson1505
@samuelswenson1505 8 лет назад
+J. Salas I'm aware of what medication does and I was on it for a few months. I felt pretty good while on it but when I stopped taking it all the problems I had been ignoring became glaringly obvious. I believe that if you are depressed there is a real reason why subconsciously the hard part is finding the real reason behind your depression.
@JSal-rp3gw
@JSal-rp3gw 8 лет назад
Samuel Swenson I can see that. Logically, I just never had a good reason to feel depressed. I don't fit the normal criteria of a depressed person (I work out every day and have great family and friends) but it was my overwhelming desire to be perfect caused me to crash. No one really instilled that mindset in me but myself until it went out of control. At the very least, we are not uneducated and do not blindly follow something because we are told to. Like you, I don't intend on being on the meds for too long either
@samuelswenson1505
@samuelswenson1505 8 лет назад
+J. Salas Most people don't struggle with living but trying to find meaning in their life when they feel like they lack they get depressed or at least that's my thesis.

its very hard to decide because soad is the kind of music you can listen whenever just for fun, but I like serj tankian because I feel he likes to focus more on the message and is more precise on consistency. While soad is good on messages also but hey there a band you know they do focus more on the message then most bands.

@anthonywoznica50
@anthonywoznica50 7 лет назад
Avagant; interpretation of this song might vary. I mean, media are controlling public opinion, so the unthinking majority do what she's supposed to do, and vote for who she's supposed to vote. In the US case, that candidate was most probably Hillary Clinton... but well, both candidates were corrupted as fuck, the only differences were the lobbies behind those two. If voting really had the power to change something, it would have been forbidden a long time ago 😉

That video looks so low bugdet. Still a great song with a great message. And it's true; one of the major reasons the the US invade Iraq was to gain control of the nation's crude oil. In fact, one of the first things that was secured after the initial invasion wasn't any military installations but the oil fields, with Texas oil workers brought in to insure continued production

as someone who protested the Iraq war when you could hear the drums beating for it in 2002... we were called crazy for saying it was blood for oil.. and to this day im asked 'wheres all that oil you said we were getting' with smart ass smirks... to which I reply , ' I don't know, why don't you ask exxon, shell, or haliburton... I never said they were taking it for the good of the American people' :) saddam was a very bad man indeed.. one who had a lot of sanctions against his country full of oil .. couldn't change the man to get the oil, change the government instead ;)

I have this theory that the next time that a barrel of crude oil gets up near or north of US$150-200, all sanctions of the Iranian petroleum industry faster than you can say "out of gas"

I think Serj doesn't like to spend a lot of money on his videos because he knows he can be spending that kind of money on more resourceful things. As much as he sings about government corruption, it would be pretty hypocritical for him to use so much wealth on his own videos.

Really ? control oil ? YOUR A SHEEP , believing anything your SIDE tells you , the U.S gained nothing to do with oil from the Iraq war , gas was about 1.70 a gallon before the war , now its 3,65 a gallon if the U.S controlled the oil or gained any kind of advantage about oil , the price would be lower , do you know who produces the most oil in the world ? The U.S , do you know who has the most oil ? again The U.S , we just also use the most , and also a lot is off limits for drilling , Ill explain the simple facts of the WHY of Iraq war , Barrack's cousin Saddam had attacked Kuwait already , Iran was his next target , if he had been allowed to grow and attack Iran it would have started WWIII and the end of the earth , was Bush completely honest ? NO !! why ?? lets look at history , Americans love to be isolationist , before WW I we sat and let the Kaiser over run Europe until the Lusitania was sank , then Americans realized he would attack here, before WW II we let Hitler over run Europe and Tojo Asia , until attacked , Americans do not want to involve in what they think will not effect them , until they realize their freedom is at stake they will not allow our government to act globally , Bush did the right thing , he stopped mass death before the third world war could start , like we should have stopped the Kaiser , and Hitler and Tojo, the oil in all Arab countries is in control of the Arabs , A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF ARABS !! , who do nothing for their countries, and other citizens , then they use the Arab propaganda news agencies to blame everyone except the greedy criminals who control all that money , ARABS , its Arabs enslaving Arabs , its Muslims killing Muslims , so learn history and look at all news sources , when you do you find patterns of truth and lies and you can make a proper statement on the facts !!

One of the first things secured was oil installations during the invasions, because oil is the primary economic infrastructure of Iraq. Saddam knew he couldn't defeat the Coalition, so one of the first things his army did was try to destroy the oil fields and bring down the country with them. Oil fields are a military asset, you seize military assets from a hostile country. That's how war is fought, that's this thing called 'modern war'. If you want a pitched battle with a few hundred thousand casualties, go visit 700 A.D.

This song is about normal people letting society(really the gov) tell them how to think. As a result we become like the army men in this video. Stupid pawns who don't actually know what the issue is, but we sure as hell are willing to fight for it. He's specifically talking about the war in iraq with "insinuating they hold the bomb, clearing the way for the oil bregade". But I also think that it has a more general message that we as people need to be more aware of the world around us.

@LackOfFaith Thankyou so much for saying that! It's so true. And even if he COULD be president, or whatever else could come to him: he might not be able to accomplish what he wants. Music can be much more influential then politics.

interesting comments....only Serj knows what the video means. I don't have the same view but I think Serj was meaning antidepressants soldiers have to take to get past the deaths they see and have to do to protect/keep oil (due to government telling them what to do)

this song gives me chills. Serj may not be the smartest in terms of politics, but he sees things for how they are. The government is free to do anything they like because alot of people will follow like sheep to a slaughter. While we're back here poppin' pills cuz our lives in a wealthy country are "horrible", we're not questioning the government. The government should always be questioned, no matter what they're doing.
