It's remembrance Sunday - lest we forget.
4 minutes and 20 seconds.... That's all I ask! If you watch one thing today, this is it.
Taken from the 1940 film - "The Great dictator", Charlie Chaplin gives, what is in my opinion, one of the greatest movie speeches of all time. Its just as poignant now as it was then.
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Ever noticed that in all historical photos of war and "the front-line", you never EVER see the people that brought us to this point?
You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Remember, it is us, the people that gives "THEM" power over us. The moment we stop playing their game, the game ends! We choose to play along and we can choose to stop at any time.
I'm not saying finding a new game to play would be easier, but wouldn't it be nice if you could make the rules to your own game.
Thank you, my friend!

Such a brilliant speech and imo even better when listened to on Paulo Nutini’s Song, Iron Sky. Certainly agree that we have to stop playing “their game” and if you look to the past it appears the people have the tools within our own natural laws to get rid of our oppressors. There is a group called Lawful Rebellion, of which I am a proud member, and they understand how the game has been twisted to create the world we live in today. My steemit name is reference to this and it’s quite an interesting take on things. Peace to you and yours my friend
I'm a big fan. People think I'm crazy because I question the "society" I was birthed into.
No man/women can tell me what to do and how I should live. I am free to make my own decision and live how I see fit. You are opted IN, but can never opt OUT! very strange that....
Man missed it the video has been copyright by the all owning YouTube grrr 💯🐒
