Hey, everyone. Look who stopped by to say hello.
It's Socko.
Hey!
Where you been, Socko?
I've been where I always am when you're not wearing me
on your hand.
In a frightening, liminal space between states of being.
Not quite dead, not quite alive.
It's similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis.
Socko, we were just talking about the world
and how it works.
Boy, that sounds complicated.
Do you have anything you'd want to teach us
about the world?
I wouldn't say anything that you probably haven't already
said yourself.
I don't know about that, Socko.
How about you give it a try?
All right.
♪ The simple narrative taught in every history class ♪
♪ Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist ♪
♪ Don't you know the world is built with blood ♪
♪ And genocide and exploitation ♪
♪ The global network of capital essentially functions ♪
♪ To separate the worker from the means of production ♪
♪ And the FBI killed Martin Luther King ♪
♪ Private property's inherently theft ♪
♪ And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left ♪
♪ And every politician ♪
♪ Every cop on the street ♪
♪ Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite ♪
♪ That is how the world works... ♪
Really?
♪ That is how the world works ♪
♪ Genocide. The Natives say you got to it first ♪
♪ That's how ♪
♪ It works ♪
That's pretty intense.
No shit.
What can I do to help?
Read a book or something. I don't know.
Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you.
It's incredibly exhausting.
I'm sorry, Socko.
I was just trying to become a better person.
Why do you rich fucking white people
insist on seeing every socio-political conflict
through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization?
This isn't about you.
So either get with it, or get out of the fucking way.
Watch your mouth, buddy.
Remember who's on whose hand here.
But that's what I-- Have you not been fucking listening?
-We are entrenched in-- -All right. All right.
Wait! No, please! I don't want to go back.
I can't go... I can't go back.
Please. Please.
I'm sorry.
Are you gonna behave yourself?
Yes.
Yes, what?
-Yes, sir. -Look at me.
Yes, sir.
That's better.
