A film by Franklin Lopez (available among other great stuff at subMedia.tv)
END:CIV examines our culture’s addiction to systematic violence and environmental exploitation, and probes the resulting epidemic of poisoned landscapes and shell-shocked nations. Based in part on Endgame, the best-selling book by Derrick Jensen, END:CIV asks: “If your homeland was invaded by aliens who cut down the forests, poisoned the water and air, and contaminated the food supply, would you resist?”

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
Frederick Douglass
This is perhaps the #1 point that every historian (economic especially) needs to convey. Education systems (broadly defined: religions, schools, media, etc) are of course concerned with teaching the opposite so that people will NOT demand and will wait meekly for their masters to through them some scraps and not beat them TOO hard.

I’m a professional economist and have for many years found many parallels between psychology and economics in how unscientific we are and, much worse, what tools we are in serving the powers that be. I think this documentary neglects the role of our economic system in promoting both the unethical (in that it is predatory on others) pursuit of profit & power, as well as undermining societies so that individuals are ground down to the point of insanity.
