Those two guys in the beginning were up to some radical stunts.

"There's more to life than being not dead." ...words to live by

Instructions unclear, built a house for the proletariat.

"Reality has no place in ideology", id quote that. "Nobody believes their system could collapse until it did", thats a good one.

"To the ideologically focused every slope is slippery" Brilliantly put.

"Reality has no place in ideology" that sent shivers up my spine

"The canaries are dead..." . Well, don't just stand there! Someone go get more canaries, damnit!

Christ. I'm now deeply depressed. Binge watching was not a good idea.

You though this was going to be about Albania? SIKE! it's about the US!

Let's be honest, the shoe was at college; It was a communist.

Hey,just because we albanians have bunkers every 5m that doesnt mean we're north korea...probably

Watching this a year later in the middle of blm protests, covid, and all that 2020 is for America and it's crazy that the writing has been on the wall so long

This was extremely interesting. A few times during this video I caught myself with a feeling like, "you're being too dramatic," or, "that's quite cynical/fatalistic." But when I stopped to examine this feeling I realized that I couldn't find anything objectively wrong. This isn't to say that you clearly are correct about everything but rather how easy it is to not take the grim, but subtle problems seriously. In fact, it seems like I already have similar beliefs presented in this video but to hear it from another person presented differently changes things somehow.

In this comment section: people argue about everything but the fact that we are all in trouble. Semantics/ideologies are more important to most than reality, and that's what this video is trying to explain.

“Are you still living your dream?” That last piece of graffiti art, it sent goosebumps down my arms. Heavy stuff, a really good video.

Is hard to look inside when you're told at every time to look outside, that's our current goverment's policy (I'm from Mexico), someone else always is to blame, is an intermational conspiracy, is the media, the conservatives, the drug cartels. But the goverment still says we're on the rigth way, our future is bright and we've never been better. The walls have crumbled but they are still arguing for the color of the paint . Excellent script, left me thinking.

The drone camera work is getting really really good

" Are you still living your dream? " Written on the depreciated walls of a crumbling building by the hands of one in a majority, echoing the words of the minority. A beautiful apple can still be rotten inside, eaten away piece by piece, too late we notice it until that bite sinks in when we finally dare to try and taste it. It's September 9th 2019, a year after this was posted, and never has it been more relevant, and sadly... it's relevance will continue to increase. I wonder if in 2029 most of us will look back at this, and ask ourselves " Have we lived our dreams? " or.... will it continue with the minority telling the majority " Continue to live my dreams ". I fear the latter, will always be present.
